Qaseh

TV3 has done it again with Seputih Qaseh Ramadan. This series was specially poduced for the
fasting season and is currently airing 3 days a week. The story revolves around Qaseh, an ex-convict who was separated from her husband and children by her diabolical mother-in-law. For unknown reasons (can anyone enlighten me?), her husband Riduan remarried-- a b*tch of a wife named Maria. Maria's the loud-mouthed type who loves to go shopping, high teas with Datins and conspiring with her mother-in-law, Ummi. This adds contrast to
Qaseh's character who is resilient, pious, soft-spoken and loving. After searching for years for her lost family, Qaseh finally meets them, and Riduan begins to try to mend things with her (apparently he's still married to her). There are other difficulties abound, namely Johan who is smitten with Qaseh, and Qaseh's adolescent son who is quite uncomfortable with her status as an ex-con. Her son carries off the "stick-up-my-ass" look quite well. Watch it for its entertainment value, Maria's exaggerated dialogue and wigs, Ummi's get-away-from-me-peasant attitude and Qaseh's patience in the face of adversity. Will Qaseh get back what's rightfully hers? Stay tuned, folks.

For someone who writes about coming home late and super-OTs, you sure make space for your TV melodramas...

@Zeemien:
Not super late, but still late. Reach home. Quick dinner. Quick shower. Read some headlines. Fire up the laptop on front of the TV! It helps that Samarinda is slotted at 2230.

@IkanB:
My all time favourites, Ustaz Sufi and Orang Gaji.
