1. Sophia – Her Good Points
Case 1 – Her father abandoned yet she forgave and
even begged him to come back.
Case 2 – She works to take care of not just herself
but her family.
Case 3- She allows a renownedheartbreaker dis-virgin
her amidst all warnings.
Case 4 – She marries him even though the bachelor
night told her otherwise.
Case 5 – Her mother in law treats her like poo,
makes her sign a pre-nuptial yet she was always courteous to the mother in law.
Case 6- She chose to remain close to her family and
help them as always.
Case 7-Her husband brings his mistress to their
honeymoon and later matrimonial bed yet she is determined to fight him.
Case 8 –She
gets pregnant and her husband’s sound of joy is initiating a threesome.
Case 9 – She is falsely accused of theft and has to
worry about being pregnant, a cheating husband and a criminal charge against
her neck.
Case 9 – Camilia almost kills her as she’s pregnant.
Case 10 – The Brando family always believedCamilia’s
unseen goodness and Sophia’s paranoia even though a)Camilia had been proven to
have slept with her husband, 2) Proven to want Sophia imprisoned under false
allegation, c) to be a pathological liar
Case 11 –She always agrees to Cecilia’s demands
even when she gets burnt in the process
Case 12 – She could have taken sole custody of Nick
and also a bit of change from the Brando family but she did not.
Case 13 – Even when Antonio tries to take their
child away, she begged for peace
Case 14 – Let’s face it, she could have damned the consequences
and destroyed the project since the Brando family was ganging up against her at
the custody trial but she chose peace.
Case 14- When Antonio rejects her, she was
determined to be strong to finish the project before embarking on her personal
fulfillment.
Case 16 – She is quick to forgive – from her
father, Pedro, the condescending receptionist, Cecilia, Rocky, Antonio and his
mother. In fact if Camilia had not continuously tried to harm her and her baby,
she would have forgiven her
Case 17 – She was not mean to Miranda unlike Antonio
who was always mean to any man that shows slight interest to Sophia
Case 18 – She helped save the Brando Company
against all odds and attacks from different angles, she stayed till the finish.
Case 15 – She went back to her vomit over and over
again. I just couldn’t deal … “whish
kainyeye love be that?”
Her bad Points
One case only – When she chose to stay and bail
Rocky out of prison instead of going home with her husband
Final verdict – They should have given her a new
love interest that is honest or are you telling me that the “rumour” about all
men being dishonest is true? Let us face it in real life, even though Antonio
has changed there is always going to be that doubt in her mind about him due to
the many heart breaks he “dashed” her. Contrarily to online opinions she is a strong
character who forgives easily, willing to place others needs ahead of hers,
chooses to make mistakes and most importantly able to put her pride down.
2. Antonio– His Good Points
Case 1 – He gave Sophia an opportunity to work less
and earn more while studying and brought Sophia’s father back into her life
Case 2 – He sold his boat because of Sophia and
bought her a blue ford.
Case 3- He saved Sophia’s brother from addiction
His Bad Points
Case 1 – He is weak and easy to manipulate by everyone
except Sophia
Case 2 – He says A while his actions are B
Case 3 – He left a needy pregnant wife for his
selfish reason and then chose his dog over his son
Case 4 – He only goes after Sophia when it seems
she doesn’t need him such as – a)when it seemed the doctor was taking his place
b) when Sophia agrees to Rocky’s invitation c)when Sophia decides to leave for
SA to study
Case 4 – He is a lazy bum okay, he fed too much on
his family’s purse and is part of the reasons for their money problems
Case 5 – He could have just apologized to Rocky for
his family’s part in the former’s father’s suicide but chose the convenient
ignorance route
Case 6- He played around and made mistakes and thinks
using the same tactics is cool
Case 7: He tried to sabotage Rocky’s career at the
onset and was not particularly remorseful or apologetic about it
Final Verdict – Sophia is too good for him, Miranda
is just the perfect antidote to get him in his right sense any time it makes a
left turn. He is easily confused and quick to make rash decisions
3. Camilia – Her Good Points
1 big case – She was good about being bad and quite
unapologetic, and oh she was the brain that got Brando the licence and bought
houses without payment
Her Bad Points
1 Big Case – She was never bad at being bad
Final verdict – she is the only Brando who doesn’t
pretend to be good, her nicety is always withulterior motive. She is devoid of
morals and she knows it and is unapologetic about it unlike the rest of the
Brando clan that pretends they are good when in actual sense they are just like
Camilia – only good to get something from the person they are good to. However,
a look at the type of family the Brandos were shows that her character is a
reflection of the Brando – a family that can lie, cheat and steal when it suits
their purpose yet fail to see their wrongdoings but quick to notice and
castigate others. It is also noteworthy that Camiliaexhibited signs of a
mentally unstable human. It is one thing to be amoral but the inability to
realize the immorality in ones actions posits such a as person mentally
deranged. I feel that her character deserve the most pity.
4. Rocky – HisGood Points
Case 1 – He came to Sophia’s defence when Antonio
was acting all jerk 101 on the first episode
Case 2 –He rejected a solo contract
Case 3 – He threw away shame and sang for Sophia on
her wedding day
Case 4- He moved Benny and Beatrice into his home
when they became homeless
Case 5 – And he also allowed Jenny move into his
house
Case 6 – He was never judgmental of Benny’s
mistakes
Case 7 – He saved the wife and unborn child of his
sworn enemy
His Bad Points
Case 1 – He sold his house
Case 2 – He engaged Sophia, he should have just
tapped that, dumped her and flaunted it on Antonio’s face
Case 3 – He saved Antonio’s unborn child – he was
trying to destroy the Brando, he should have let both Sophia and the child to die
– this will put Antonio in guilty mode for years, make Antonio the only subject
of concentration for Camilia and this in turn halts the project. After all
Pedro and Cecilia were not doing anything to move the project
Case 4 – He lacked a clear revenge strategy and his
ego was too big for his brain to realize that
Case 5 – He signed with Antonio’s record label,
like seriously dude?
Final Verdict – He is like that common Nigerian
nice guy who makes it big suddenly and wastes his time pursuing frivolities in
the form of Sophia, a woman he believes in his left sense chose Antonio because
Antonio was richer. The good thing was that he realized his mistakes and made
amends. The bad news was that Pedro, Camilia, Gonzola and the Lawyer never paid
for their fraud and deceit which pushed a Rocky’s father to take his own life.
5. Cecilia – Her Good Points
No case
Her Bad Points
Case 1 – She only agrees to employ Sophia just to
please her grandson
Case 2 – She asks her lawyer to charge her daughter
in-law for theft not minding that Sophia is pregnant and in a bad state
Case 3 – She asks her company to cover up their
bribery issue even though she has always claimed to be a woman of integrity
Case 4 – She pretends to be unaware that her
company has not paid the owners of the houses they bought – the ish was on TV
news according to the storyline.
Case 5 – Her son cheats; all is well her daughter
in-law cheats and Cecilia wants the daughter in-law left penniless as
punishment
Case 6 – Her grandson cheats, it is alright he is
still a good kid and Sophia starts dating Rocky, Cecilia decides it is war time
Case 7 – She never gives Sophia anything for free –
she helps Sophia in her custody battle just so she can ask for favour from Sophia
Case 8 – Even till the end of the show, she never
entirely believed Sophia’s word on Camilia’s nature
Final Verdict – Cecilia covered up bribery in her
company and should have been brought to justice for that. She pretends to be
righteous and preaches integrity when dealing with others but when it is her
own family she looks the other way. Little wonder Camilia, Pedro and Antonio
turned out so “unwell”
7. Pedro – His Good Points
Case 1- He showed interest in reconciling with his
wife
His Bad Points
Case 1 – Pedro helps people to serve his selfish
purpose and not from the goodness of his heart from Veronica to her father and
Even Sophia
Case 2 – He attempted suicide over unrequited love
Case 3- He would rather have Sophia go to jail for her
non-theft than confess to bribery
Case 4 – He was busy womanizing instead of managing
the company
Case 5 – He conveniently forgot to add his previous
infidelities when accusing his wife of aninfidelity
Case 6 – He authorized Camilia to have their lawyer
add clauses to a contract so as not to pay the project people
Case 7 – He never pays for his crimes, he built the
project on the evil genius of Camilia and doesn’t give her due credit
Case 8 – He is a hypocrite just like his mother
Cecilia
Final Verdict – Pedro proved himself to be an
inadequate father, terrible husband and not so innovative in business. He is
also willing to throw anyone under the bus to save himself.
8. Miranda – Her Good Points
Case 1 – She brings coffees to Antonio
Case 2 – She was ready to move with him to Mars
Case 3 – She initiated a friendly terms with Sophia
Case 4 – She is not an easy pushover for the Brando
Family
Her Bad Points
Case 1 – A simple calling of Sophia’s name during
lovemaking was good to get her mad
Case 2 – A ring was enough for her to believe the
name calling was a mistake
Case 3 – She banned Antonio from seeing her so that
she can heal – shows she is not as strong as people made her out to be
Case 4 – Even a downtrodden Camilia still knocked
her out; imagine if she met the full charged Camilia
Final Verdict: She is perfect for Antonio; she is
what he needs to always behave and the perfect match for the snotty Brando
family
Overall Verdict –
In real life, a Sofia would not
risk her heart for an Antonio but if she is stupid enough to, the shame of
failure will make her stay and endure the marriage. This will turn her to a nag,
later she becomes like her mother in-law while Antonio will continue to sleep
around. And the whole world would be having a laugh at Sophia including Rocky
who would have too many girls bothering him and no time to chase Sophia.
