It sux.
That pretty much sum up my feelings for the production of local tv drama.
Take this show for example. Here’s a strong cast. Good storyline to develop. Relevant and compelling. But what did the production team do? They freaking ruin it by watering the content down to being a half-fa*k love rivalling story. What they should have done is just pay the copyright to the story of Dr. Kumahige, and produce that.
They should have given more background information about the treatment use. Explain what each needle & acu-point. Give the names of the herbs, its property and what it can do. Define the legal implications of the situations. Basically, its the production team’s homework. They are just too freaking cannot be bothered with their own production. The whole show rest on the shoulders of the actors. The problem with local production, they are too afraid to extend it out.
Do not do it like Taiwanese drama, where one good bye scene and drag on for 2 episodes…..
