There are times when we get hooked with
a new TV drama or soap opera that you will go through all the hassle
to search an online episode. That's what happened to me last week.
When I was in University 2 decades ago, I was hooked
on Days of Our Lives. Into my second semester and semesters after that, I was smart and
arranged all my classes so that it will not coincide with any of DOL
episodes. "Like sand through the hour glass so are the days of our lives", that's the opening credit. Some of my favorite characters were Roman Brady, Marlena, Carly and Bo Brady....Did you know that DOL first went on air in 1965? If my memory serves me right it was on NBC 1-2
pm, 5 days a week. Miss Karen Seeley, you are responsible injecting
this addiction in me.
Currently, there is a new Malay TV drama
series airing on Astro Mustika HD Channel 134. It was kindda disappointing that
you need to subscribe to that particular package in order to view it.
Then what's the whole point of subscribing to Astro Beyond when you
can't benefit from all the HD channels? Duh?!?
The book turned into TV drama consist
of 80 episodes has been on air for the last 2 weeks. I wasn't interested but after watching the 11 minutes trailer on you tube, hmmm
pretty interesting. So I decided to check out the 1st episode, then
the 2
nd and the 3
rd. Then suddenly I was
miserable..why? I've been drugged. I wanna watch more of it. I have
never seen Aaron Aziz quiet as what his character as Adam. I am not a
sucker for Malay drama but somehow this one hit me like a tonnes of brick
wall! For the 11 minutes trailer, please click here

I did not want to get my hopes high
like what I experienced with Lagenda Budak Setan. I read all three
books but when it turned into a movie a year later and soon after
followed by a TV drama series it did not capture the sense of continuity as
was in the novel. They chopped out so many important scenes and they
alter the story line here and there. That's what I hated the most of novel turn
into TV drama series.
It has been an expedition for me
this past few days locating the right website which has all the 8
episodes aired so far. Phew, finally, alhamdulillah I found what I was
looking for. For those who are following the drama, this is the best
website to follow,

Adam and Hawa adapted from a novel by
Aisya Sofea published 2-3 years ago is a story of 20 year
old Ain Hawani who met Adam Mukhriz or Am. Am who is a pilot, playboy
and good looking fellow was head over heels with Ain. Ain who has
bigger plans for her future try to resist the temptation but was
caught in close proximity with Am. What disappoint her the most was
Am's silence, and acceptance to the unfortunate incident. He did not make any attempt to explain that the incident could be a set up. Ain was at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Literally they were force into marriage to cover embarrassment to
both families. Soon after, Ain received an offer to further her
studies in Australia. She left her family, friends and so call
husband, Am, behind....to be continued.
From what I read, the writer, Aisya Sofea hand picked the actors for the drama parts. I like that. The writer would be the best person to select quality actor/actress that able to build, expand and appreciate each character.
This time, I have not read the novel
but I was told the drama has been very consistent with the
novel story line. The temptation is so strong for me that at times I wanna dash
to the the bookstore to get a copy of the novel. Hey, 80 episodes, I
don't think I have the patience. What's that,....5 half an hour
episodes, 5 days a week, it will come up to 16 weeks,mmmmm......4
months? Oh no.....I must buy the book.
My favourite line in Adam dan Hawa:
Cikgu Zawiyah : "Abis madu sepah dibuang."
Am : Ada madu free pun belum tentu lebah ni nak tau! Lebah ni ada taste la."
Have a productive week a head guys.
