go loco over koreano

Finally a Korean novella that makes sense. Somehow. I always make it a point that I catch the late night news over at abs-cbn, and much to my chagrin, the news comes after princess hours, that darn silly Korean novella about the royal family of korea, particularly that of its self esteemed crown prince, and his commoner wife. The show is so silly that it tries so much to become a youth oriented romantic comedy show, only to fall short of becoming a total farce. I have to admit that I have endured watching couple episodes, you can all laugh now, and I did not like it at all. However, I have to admit that somehow the show makes sense and it hides its sensibility behind the silliness of the plot and the characters. There was one episode where the king and the crown prince were conversing about how monarchy run aground from oligarchic leadership, and there was this episode where the two contending princes debated on giving the people the power through democratic republicanism and at the same time maintaining the respect for the monarchy. There was also this episode where the king said that he is willing to relinquish the throne to the once crown prince who is silently launching a rebellion against the ruling family. Simple pieces of principles that I think the people in the government need to take into consideration. If they neither have nor learned about it in their Georgetown or Atenean education perhaps they better learn it over princess hours, with a vomit bag at hand of course.
