一切完美的Perfect CutAs the credits rolled for the 9pm show tonight, I automatically reached for the remote to change the channel to Ch U. Only to remember in a split second - there is no more Perfect Cut. Tragedy.
For the past 2 weeks, I've stayed tuned to Perfect Cut every weekday at 10pm (minus the 2 days that I went out and half an episode where I forgot and went to bathe) and I enjoyed every minute of the show. This show is no ordinary MC drama - it's well-produced with engaging and extremely thought-provoking stories that delve into deeper issues in life and a veteran cast who mete out their roles exquisitely (anytime better than the young A-listers in MC) ,with wonderful theme songs to boot. Xin Huey's 你没想像中爱我 and Guo Mei-Mei's 放了爱 and 许愿树 are all heart-wrenching and suits the show to a T.
The only complain I have is in the last episode when Kelly SMSed Alex everyday after he leaves （没有Alex的第一天。。。）- it bore too much resemblance to what happened between Alfred and 常在心in 溏心风暴。The only 完美中的不完美。But after the heart-breaking reunion scene between Alex and Kelly - I let it go.
I think Thomas Ong's Alex Tan will be here to stay (in our hearts) for a long time. I wonder if there will be more people heading to the "Alex Tans" out there in search of hope via plastic surgery and aesthetic treatments. Hopefully there will be a Perfect Cut 3...I'll give up going out for 2 weeks for it anytime. And hopefully Perfect Cut will get some recognition in the upcoming Star Awards (not that I'll watch), instead of that overrated rah-rah of a little nonya.
Huh, what nonya again?
it got me home
