HIMYM and Friends

00.59

Hi everyone! So, I just finished watching 10 seasons of Friends and in my 3rd round of watching HIMYM (get a life Fel!). This post is dedicated to share my review about both of tv series, and no, I don't want to compare these 2 tv series, because both are great in their on way (the perks of being friend with me: I can always see the opportunity in you).

Ok, so because Friends is still fresh in my memory, I'll review about this one first.

At first, I was a bit reluctant to watch this tv series because it's so old and on screen quality isn't as good as today's tv show and as you know the early season doesn't good camera quality. But then 'don't judge a book by its cover' is weirdly true, I finished 1st season so fast and really enjoyed watching every episode (and at that time I forgot about camera quality, vintage look etc etc). As I watched more episode I became deeply in love with every character. I love the storyline, the light joke or self pity joke. I love the character development the writer planned for them, especially Chandler, how he became a responsible and loving husband from a scaredy cat bachelor, and of course how hot he became as he got older! Oh yes, I love Ross, Joey, and Chandler and I give 5 stars for whoever chose them as casts.

Well, the woman casts are just as good, I love the three of them and how they could bring the characters to life (and how Jennifer Anniston became more pretty as the show went on). Sometimes I can even relate to them (aren't we all?) or is it because I watch too many episodes?. 

WARNING : probably SPOILER

Anyhow, if you're looking for a fun and light tv series, this is the one that you're looking for. Beautiful casts, enjoyable storyline, sometimes a glimpse of Monica's amazing food (yes, she's a chef), -sometimes- relatable story, and a very nice happy ending, all of them in a pack of 10 seasons of tv series, I could say that it's worth your time (just don't forget about your work while watching all the seasons). Enjoy!

Now, let's get into another business. How I Met Your Mother!



How I Met Your Mother is probably the first tv show that i watched (I always watched movie all my life until I watched this one tv show) and all I could say 'WA CRAZY'. I attached to this show from the very first episode, I love their joke although most of them are a bit dirty (sorry Mom, Dad). Every character has important role in the show, and I especially love Marshall (Yup, sorry guys, I am attached too easily to a loving man character). He was and always will be that kind of good guy, good friend and good husband. The one that will accept their partner for whoever they are, and a good friend with real advice at critical time. Although most of the time I can relate more with Ted, yep, he is a guys but I think he is a bit more of a woman than me (this is sad). Oh please, and don't forget Barney Stinson, he is the one that makes the party goes wild, most of the crazy ideas are come from him, seriously. I should say good job to the writer for having all those ideas about what was this man gonna do in every episode. And, of course, I'm in love with Lily and Robin, they are a very different people and I think that way they can be a very good friend (somehow this remind me of I and my good friend that could be total opposite sometimes).

Other than the jokes, I think every episode have a lot of good quotes and music. I still have musics from HIMYM in my ipod and I love every one of them (still play them whenever I'm in the mood), here is the list of my favorite songs:
  • Nada Surf - Inside of Love
  • Billy Joel - The Longest Time
  • Fort Atlantic - Let Your Heart Hold Fast
  • The Shins - Simple Song
Ok, you can find the rest by yourself.

No matter how much I laugh at the joke and how I love the casts, I can't love the storyline as much. For you who finished watching this show and read people's comments on the show, you probably know that many are disappointed with the ending and I'm one of those people. There are even people who created the alternate ending of the show (well, I can't blame them, you should watch the ending to make sure). Well, actually as the story went on, I got the felling that this show is much more like a drama than a comedy to me, especially after the Barney's marriage. As the result, every time I re-watch the show, I always got at 9th season and that's all (it's just like 'I come here for the joke guys, no hard felling, okay?'). Overall, if you want a crazy tv show and a good laugh, HIMYM can give you all, but just an early warning, don't get disappointed too long after watching the ending.

Okay, I think that's all the things I want to say about these 2 tv shows. Do you have a different opinion on it? Tell me in the comment! Any tv show you like and want to recommend me to watch? Please comment, and I'll watch it in my free time!
