My Beloved Sister (2006)

The Answer is Money

The drama epitomized frustration with its portrayal of a braindead female lead whose actions and decisions often questioned the existence of a cerebrum in that skull. The leads consistently made choices that were not only repetitive but also pathetic. Almost every character was repeating the same mistakes and facing the same consequences. A group of monkeys would perform and produce a better result under a shock therapy. The side plots were generally bad, maybe only the ML's brother one was acceptable but the rest were kinda cringe. The drama advertised itself around the bigger sister and her younger siblings (as title suggests too) but the siblings played such a small side role in the story while the love triangle was the main focus. The drama practically ended 6-7 episodes early and the remainder was pure fluff of nothingness. It didn't help its case when the resolution was lame anyway.

Unique

As much as I wanted to love this, the writers were just to convincing, lol. I struggle to watch or endure anyone extremely greedy or selfish and the writers did a good job up front showing how money and possession can cause people to reveal how they really feel.

Overall series was pretty good. It was a bit slow paced but still nice. In summary, the series is about a sibling group who somehow manages to lose their father and stability overnight. Contrary to many drama with this starter, this on too, a different turn. The female lead didn’t walk about helpless, begging or waiting for a miracle she put her mind on surviving and got to work. She want extremely prideful but tried to have a sense of pride about herself. Loved that element. What you Lear from her character is how to push through, how to let others help, how to adapt and love. Very unique.

On the other side of this spectrum we have the have nots who suddenly grasp everything they didn’t have before. Their greed grew and it turn ugly.

The series reveals the good and the bad.
