Leng de Chavez

The Despicable Guy

★★ // (read the published novel version)

What I didn't like:
—Awkward grammar errors (parang hindi in-edit)
—Inconsistency of Jersey's character (one moment she's saying she hates Paul, then she likes him, or she feels kilig because of Kevin, then she's mad at him. I get that it's supposed to be an inner debate of feelings but it was not executed well and most of the time it leaves me confused in a bad way.)
—That part where Kevin ate something that he's allergic to. Sobrang babaw naman ng motivation to do that, please. Saka ang toxic, wew. Kadiri.

What I liked:
—Though I still don't get how a couple could be that famous in college, I appreciate some of the key moments in their development
—Changing a play script is very disrespectful to the playwright, but I appreciate the improvisation of some lines to get the story going.

Okay naman si Leng magsulat. Polished compared to others, at may substance. May tendency lang siyang gawing masyadong dramatic yong mga eksena minsan. At ‘yon pa ang problema: ang sinusulat ay nobela, kaya hindi dapat mala-teleserye ang mga linya. Heh.
