Five Enough?

Just finished watching the FIVE ENOUGH Korean drama series. The story revolves in different level and categories. Choose which one you can relate to and what is better seen on the screen and what the story makes you happy and why.

The story of An Miyeong (divorcee with 3 kids in grade school) and Lee Sangtae (widow with 2 kids in grade school, living with the in-laws). They have complicated story, problematic, giving headaches to whoever can absorb their story of dysfunctional families. Although the story of An's dysfunctional family made us suffer to hear all the nagging, the conflict because it's the fault of An Myjeong for not being honest with her kids and grandma to tell them about the divorce between her and the father of her children. But you know scriptwriters of this tele-series probably want to inject more conflict and complications to prolong the series. Too many people can relate to their role or part (characters).

The story of Incheol and his new wife is a matter of at least they get married. When a divorced man married another woman, who cares? They are MARRIED! In the eyes of God and to the public they are already husband and wife.They were not born yesterday nor at the time of Moses who by the way killed an Egyptian, had so many affairs and brought so many millions of Jews to Exodus (desertland which is a toxic wasteland). Marriage is just a paper or document. Being MARRIED is a protection for your kids not to be called bastards! Opppsss! That bad! Sorry.

 By the way are you legally married? So what! An Mijeong is having an affair with Sangtae! LOL. OMG! FIVE ENOUGH should be a fun relaxing television series but the dramatic sequences can make you hate some of the characters and the roles these good actors are portraying for this Korean tele-drama. Are they really Korean? Mijeong looks like an elderly Amanda Beans, Sangtae looks like a refined well behaved Mr. Bean. Incheol looks like Benecio del Toro. The grandma looks like the PM of UK. The father of Jinju looks like the actor of Schitts Creek. Ay kamukha pala niya si former Canadian Premier Danny Williams. Mga  Kamukha lang!

The story of the two newly employed teachers Lee Yeondu and Taemin who are BFF for 7 years, then the model Sangmin  who is very clever and narcissistic calling Yeondu as "psycho girl" and the impulsive shopaholic Jinju the pretty girl. I think their story is far better than the rest of the complicated ones because they are "cute" and easy on the eye. Jinju and Yeondu (?) are bestfriends. Is their best friend story line the same as the story of An and Incheol's new wife in the past?

The story of Hotae (director or film director wannabe?) and Sunyeong (Waitress at Lee's Noodle Restaurant) makes me change channels. It's a prolong lies and lying, the two characters keep deceiving each other. So I have the remote control on my palm and press the channel button from Channel 119 to 800 CBC NEWS NETWORK. Or 119 to 101.

The story of grandmother and grandkids. Nice. You wish you have grandmother who look after your welfare when your mother worked so hard and flirt with the boss.

The kids of Lee Sangtae and their grandparents. Nice! How fortunate of the kids if you have rich grandparents who care and look after the kids while the father of the kids tried to entangle himself in the circle of confusion.

So what is wrong with Mijeong? She seems nice but not so nice! What happened to her character? She is smart, looks intelligent but is she an opportunist? That's the question. I like her attitude before but there is something weird about her after she had a fall from the ladder at the workplace after being a victim of shockwave. That's why better watch the TV series so that you can find out for yourself and learn a lesson or two maybe three because every story has a moral lesson.

Note: There's an English subtitles to understand the story of 5 Enough.

Uhm, my English sucks big time now! I should stop watching Korean tele-drama.


That's why stay away from bad vice. AVOID all kinds of bad vice such as: alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, pots, STOP texting while driving. STOP texting when you are walking. STOP using cellphones on risky places to avoid accident.

STOP all risky bad habits!
