What I love most about Baker King...

Tweet

Filipinos really love watching tv dramas. Our afternoon and primetime tv are filled with it. Aside from our own telenovelas and series, we enjoyed foreign telenovelas (dubbed in the local language) from Mexico (Latin American), Japanese and Korean. It is a mix of culture that captivates viewers. Currently being shown but nearing its final episodes is the Korean telenovela entitled "Baker King". It has heavy drama and some comedy that will keep you watching everyday. But the best thing I love about it is its main character Tak Goo. He had been through a lot of injustices and sufferings. He got separated from his mother when his was 12 yrs old, beaten up, chased by goons who wanted to kill him which fortunately he was able to escape time and time again. But through it all he remained determined and continued to have a positive outlook in life. When he was asked how he managed to go through all his suffering and still smile his reply was "because he has to live". It made me realize that whatever tiding comes to us we will continue to live. It is our mind set in accepting everything that happen around us that determines if we can get through it or be wallowed in it. As with Tak Goo, he was able to overcome every obstacle in his life with his good heart, openness, determination and positive outlook in life.
