Stairway To Heaven: Recap

I’m a guy, but yep, I nevertheless watch the Korean drama series Stairway To Heaven, shown by GMA-7 right after Starstruck. Korny ba ‘ko? Nagagandahan ako sa show eh.

Nasimulan ko ang Stairway To Heaven right from Day 1. It’s been a few days now.

Well in this episode, nagtagumpay si young Tristan na papuntahin si young Jodi (his stepsister) sa school dala yung mga painting tools ni Tristan. Pero once again, pinagpipilitan ni Tristan na sign daw yun ng pagmamahal ni Jodi sa kanya…

Then at Jodi and Tristan’s house, at the terrace on the second floor, pilit niyakap-yakap ni Tristan si Jodi kahit ayaw ni Jodie. Seconds later, parating na si young Eunice, Tristan’s real sister, sa terrace. Nataranta si Tristan kaya napatalon siya from the terrace pababa ng bahay! Ouch! (Pero ba’t kaya hindi siya napilay?? )

Then the next day, Jodi is writing a message to Cholo who’s abroad.
Pero pinakikialaman ito ni Eunice. So hindi na nakapagtimpi si Jodi at
nilabanan niya si Eunice. Nagsabunutan silang dalawa. Narinig ito ng
tatay at stepmother (Maita) ni Jodi. So they approached the two and
then asked what went wrong. In the process, kinakampihan ni Maita si
Jodi, which normally she doesn’t do to her, porke nandyan lang sa tabi
niya ang tatay ni Jodie. Normally kasi, inaapi-api lang nina Maita at
Eunice (mga malditang mag-ina) si Jodi. Nahalata kaagad ni Jodi ang
kaplastikan ni Maita, so nag-react siya at tinarayan si Maita.
Unfortunately, her father misinterpreted Jodi’s action as showing lack
of respect to her stepmom, so he slapped Jodi right away.Umiyak si Jodi at umalis na ng kuwarto, then lumabas siya sa bahay. Then when the
night came, she called Cholo on the phone in a public phone booth.
Kinumusta lang niya si Cholo, pero hindi pa rin niya pinagtapat ang
situation niya sa bahay. Pero hindi alam ni Jodi, nandoon lang pala si
Tristan sa bench at hinihintay siya. Nung nasa tapat na ng bahay si
Jodi, kinumusta siya ni Tristan, pero nagalit lang si Jodi sa kanya at
sinigawan si Tristan.

Another day came again, and Tristan teased Jodi as usual. Pero hindi na
siya pinapansin ni Jodi. Pero kahit na, kinukulit pa rin Tristan si
Jodi sa bus. Dahil doon, na-late tuloy silang dalawa sa school.
Pagsasarahan na sana sila ng school gate, pero pinigilan ni Tristan ang
pagsara. Pinauna na niyang pumasok si Jodi habang pilit niyang
binubuksan ng gate. Nahuli tuloy si Tristan ng isang school authority,
at siya ang pinarusahan, samantalang nakalusot si Jodi sa school
authority.

But hours later, the school announced that Tristan won first place in
the painting contest. At the podium on the stage, Tristan said that he
won because of Jodi, so he dedicated his award to her. At home, Jodi
encouraged Tristan to show the award to his mother Maita (that witch!
) . Tristan tried to show the award to his mother, but his mother just
ignored it. Nadismaya si Tristan kaya aalis na siya sana, pero
nagpumilit si Jodi at siya ang pumunta kay Maita dala ang award. But
just the same, Maita ignored the award. Nagalit na si Tristan, kaya
pasigaw na niyang tinanong sa nanay niya kung bakit daw siya
“ginaganito”. Then Maita furiously said that she doesn’t like Tristan
at all, that she hates him, kahit na lumayas pa raw si Tristan ay hindi
pa rin siya pipigilan ni Maita. Pati si Jodi pinagsabihan na rin ni
Maita na “magsama na silang (lumayas) dalawa”.

Tristan got depressed, so he locked himself inside his room near the
terrace. Kahit si Jodi ayaw niyang pagbuksan. Kaya ang ginawa ni Jodi
ay, sinulat niya ang kanyang invitation message sa isang paper plane at
pinalipad ito papunta kay Tristan. Gustong yayain ni Jodi si Tristan sa
carnival, bilang promise niya sa pagkapanalo ni Tristan sa painting
contest. And so the next they, they went to the carnival and had fun.

Then after that, pinakita na ang glimpse ni Jodi na naging adult na (played by Choi Ji Woo)!

I can’t wait for the next episode!
