If there ever was a world record for most clinically-depressing afternoon show, 'Saang Sulok ng Langit' takes the cake.
The only other story that rivals 'Saang Sulok' is 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events' wherein the lead characters go through a series of really depressing events such as getting their parents killed, eating out of garbage cans, getting separated from their other siblings, being sold to slavery, among others. In other words, there seemed to be nothing going for the kids, except expect more depressing circumstances to happen to the three of them.
Now blame me because the show is just barely on their first few weeks, and i'm sure there will be a lot more things that will happen to the lead characters. Maybe one day, one of them will become rich by divine intervention (which is the usual occurrence in a soap opera such as this). However, I believe the show was off on a very bad start. The writers of the show just never gave hope to the lead characters and the audience something to look forward to.
The show makers ought to do something big to keep 'Saang Sulok ng Langit' back on track.
