My Letter

To dear director and the script panel of Dalam Hati Ada Cinta,

First of all I wish to congratulate your team on a delighted story and great actors chosen for the ‘soap opera’ (I presume). I used to participate as well as overjoyed waiting for the drama since Mr. Ako acted in it. (oh… Ako…). Besides Ako, after 3 seasons passed I feel less enthusiast watching the story line. Let me point it why:

1. Week by week I could feel the dragginess ( I don’t think that word is in the dictionary) story. 5 minutes talk, 5 minutes ala video clips. Sad-sad songs. Alright, artistically, you might want to bring the sad mood, the heart break between 2 loving couples. Amik mood bak kata org kita. However, I don’t feel the substance in it. The plot should be stronger. I know actions speaks louder than words, seeing they act sadly, tangkap nangis, syahdu je kita tgk, but too many of the ala video clips made the story drag, less interesting and sakit hati to tunggu the next week episode. Please for the sake of my sanity, please give us, or at least me to have the satisfaction watching the drama weekly by having more acting instead of ala video clip.
2. Please refer to episode 6 (25/07/2005) shown on astro. Like err… hello, are we still that naïve? If a person doesn’t loves us, why can’t we face the fact. I know it hurts, but you can’t force another guy to love another lady. For instance, the Aliya character, asked Wan character to marry her sister just because she has cancer (brain tumor). Eh hello. So a person that have a wild imagination like me may be can assume other tag line like ‘ you married my sister, she has a brain cancer, after she died, we can get marry later. But if she not dead, you have to stick longer la.’ Hehehhe. Mana leh main paksa2 babe.
3. Referring to the same episode, is there such person who dare make such promise to her step mother that ‘walau apa2 pun terjadi, liya akan pastikan kak tina n wan akan berkahwin’ . Nahhh… Scrip panels, don’t make a fool of us. Clearly the Aliya charater knows her step mother hates her, lagi mau pi jumpa her mother and make such promises. Hello, the nite before dah kena baik ngan mak tiri lagi gi jumpa dia. Em… may be nak kata org kita still hormat org tua kot. Point taken. Boleh la diterima, but like…errr what? I’m not gonna do that if the scenario hits me. Duh!
4. There are a few unsatisfactory feeling regarding the story. The indescribable and unspeakable aspects that I wish I have the correct word to say. May be astro pays the production well, each episode is highly paid, therefore, they need all the dragginess (the word again) to make it longer. I don’t think the story and plots are long. How many episodes are left to be shown to us? Please don’t let it be like Sembilu. Panjang, dragging and membosankan. You should ensure that your drama are packed and full of energy. Your viewer afraid to miss an episode of it. Instead now, if you miss this week episode, not to worry you’ll understand and catch-on the story by watching next week episode or the next 2-3 weeks episode. Tak banyak yg berubah. Quality not quantity.

In conclusion, … I don’t have any conclusion. Just be more creative, make the drama more ‘grip’, the message well deliver and please don’t make us like a fool. Ada ke orang yang sanggup berkorban macam tu. may be ada la kot, sbb tu ader cerita macam tu. ‘kalau nak jadi, jadi la. Tapi kalau dlm hati ada cinta…’

p/s: Luckily you have Ako in it.


Thank you.


Best Regards,
Clearly from someone who have nothing to do yet in the office :)
