Comments
Ugh... Is this the same series as I was watching yesterday? The trick behind the kidnapping attempt was far too hokey--only an idiot would have fallen for it, and I hope Oscar won't be the only non-idiot (sorry, baka) in this series. I never heard the word "corny" in any of the reviews which recommended this show! I trust this particular episode was an abberation from the quality of the series as a whole. I wonder if there is any historical basis for the kidnapping attempt. Anyway, I hear Oscar and Marie will be spending a lot of time together, and here they meet for the first time.
