The Pawnshop No. 8

The chinese drama series i recently got mesmerized by is dis. A super nice show by Alex Toh. It tells of this pawnshop no. 8 which is actually the devil's place to lure people to succumb to their greed by providing them the way to let people pawn anything for anything. So the same old crappy plot of good vs evil again, with both sides having immortals who never die n have the power to do lotsa stuff, minus fighting in between.

Wat enchants me about dis series is the fascinating pawning parts n processes. Besides the reasons for pawning do interest me though some are so touching which make my tears roll down uncontrollably. One such example would be the male lead himself, Alex Toh, who pawned his love for eternal lifetimes in exchange for his wife's bliss for a lifetime. Eternal lifetimes for a SINGLE lifetime, how noble he is. There are oso cases such as pawning sensibility for wife n daughter's bliss etc. Some are really touching, though sometimes, people get more than they bargain for n it's no good thing.

This series really sets me thinking about the greed in each and everyone of us. All our lives, we pursue our dreams to satisfy our greed n yet, it take us time to go through all just to realise that wat we have given up is way beyond wat we have achieved. Some cases oso set me pondering over morality issues. Gonna tok about these cases as separte entries for readers to ponder.....................
