Laila @ Indosiar

Dewi Persik is the star of this sinetron. She is a wild child who, regardless wild, keeps herself out of reach from any random man. Except for Daffa. She almost marry him. Then the inevitable happened. Her father died in a car crash, instigated by his step brother who wants his whole fortune.

To save his family's fortune, Laila made a promise she will never get married, which crushed Daffa. But Daffa took another turn to try and help Laila defend her family from her greedy relatives, but trying to marry the sister instead.

This will be interesting.

Inayah @ Indosiar

If you have been keeping up with this show, you should already know this show started with all very avid muslim family, and also it was first called Hareem in it's first phase. Inayah is a young girl who is in love with the man called Aryo, whose love life became all jumbled and messed up when Aryo's father, Dorso; decided to marry her to settle her family's debt. Things get all weird out and awkward when Aryo and Inayah found themselves in a spot where she has become her step mother and he has become her step son.

True to theme (always), Inayah became the victim for very single bullies in the house, conducted one of Dorso's wives (he has four). Things escalated until two of his wives died, where suddenly the whole sinetron change it's whole them and turn into phase 2.

It is now called Inayah. I hate to say it but after watching Inayah, I just realized, she has became more stupid every episode! Whatever mess she ended up in is always because of her stupid self! Too trustworthy and too annoying stupid goody-two shoes! As for late she is now suffering from brain tumor, probably after her brain hemorrhage, that Visnu made sure to make worse, because he loves her so much and won't do anything to send her back to her family because he is afraid to be called a kidnapper.

*sigh*

Seriously, I can't wait to see the end of this sinetron =/

Jiran @ Indosiar

All to the dismay of hanging endings, if you have been an avid watcher of this one, I say everybody is very disappointed at what happened in the last episode of "Jiran" today.

If you're a fan of Titi Kamal, and haven't watched this show, you missed out another long sappy depressing series of hers after Muslimah. She played Jiran, The contract wife of Sultan (a king somewhere in Malaysia, another Manohara inspired story). I have watched this series since the beginning where the demented Fendy, drown in debt, decided to sell his wife to be a contract wife just to get a hefty amount to a a foreigner, unknown to him that this foreigner is a king.

Things gets all usual high-blooded, raging hormones as any other royal related drama there is. Nevertheless, it was a slow watch. I barely paid any attention in some days due to the slow run of the scenes. There was Noor, the gold digger who became Sultan's wife (much against his wishes, because she was pregnant with his cousin's child). Jiran got pregnant after she did a renewed virginity operation because Sultan isn't supposed to know she was married before, cause he wanted a virgin wife. Jiran was merciless tortured but his step-mother (who became his real mother in a later episodes) and Noor. Sultan did his best to protect and make Jiran happy by his side.

And why am I not surprise to see a baby born with a tail and have magical powers to heal people in this series, I don't know.

If you guys missed it, I tell you, Rivai (the cousin) died, Noor died after confessing she switched the babies. Sultan's father got himself free with his two wives by his side. And Jiran refused to choose either Sultan or Fendy, and took her children away with her. I seriously think, if Fendy didn't show up, there's a happy ending with Sultan. But NooooOOOoOOOooooo...

Tangisan Isabella @ Indosiar

For the past few months, I have been an avid watcher of this show called Tangisan Isabella, a sinetron, which I thought the idea came from all the Manohara fuss, where an Indonesian, Isabella; was pressure to married a royalty somewhere in Malaysia. She went from an abused wife to beloved wife to the victim of power struggles between the royal family. The first phase of the sinetron is done and over with where everybody in the royal family died except for the only heir who is also named "Isabella", survived by the king handing over the child into the care of this nurse caretaker, who brought her up as his own child.

Which brings the sinetron to phase 2. The tale of Isabella (the daughter)'s life. Today, This movie has became very annoyingly cropped out script from Kasih & Amarra, the modern "Bawang Putih, Bawang Merah". Where the young Isabella is a victim of child abuse, by her foster mother and foster sister. I am actually half expecting some fairy is going to pop up again, since they actually cropped up the same exact scene from Kasih & Amara in this mix.
