The show was good. It was well directed. I was amazed and didn't expect that it would be a great show. It was well directed. It is a musical drama. I watch the show because we are oblige to write or make a blog post about it. At first, I don't like to watch it because it might just a waste of time and money. I always think that if it is not compulsory to watch the show, I will not watch. I thought it's just an ordinary drama. I didn't expect that it was a musical drama. When the show was started, the actors and actresses starts to sing. They completely memorize their script and had beautiful voices. It directly catches my attention. They started to act. I like the way they act. They acted well and with emotion. I enjoy the show. From the beginning up to the end, it was really great. I realized that it's not a waste of time and money. It's a pleasure watching the show. The show gives me knowledge about the muslim culture. It also gives me a lesson, a lesson about bravery. Just like Bato-Lakungan did. He He did everything and even sacrifices his own life just to help and save people. The show really inspired me and teaches me to be strong and have the courage to do what is right and to avoid what is evil. The show was awesome and thanks to it I learned great things.
