This is one of my favorite TV show.
Recently, new episode has been broadcasted. And I can't wait to watch them.
Due to classes, assignments, and also upcoming final exams, I am counting on my summer holidays to watch the episodes which are left.
So far, I have posted about movies.
This is the very first time posting about TV shows.
Anyway,
the story flows among two main characters.
Main character named Barney Stinson, acted by Neil Patrick Harris,
is a CEO of the big corporation.
He wants to renovate the old creepy Goliath National Bank's new
skyscraper.
His slogan is simple with just four words.
“New is always better.”
Another main character, Ted, acted by Josh Render is an architect that his
friend hired.
As Barney has asked to renovate the GNB’s building,
he
was having the thought how to build newly, he meets one girl.
And he thought
that she is really impressive and that they have quite similar in common.
By talking with her,
he has learned that the site of the
building is where the old Arcadian Hotel stands.
The Arcadian was grand building which were a landmark once in the past.
But later he
found that she is an activist who opposes of the GNB buildings new skyscraper.
And she also finds that he was pretending to impress her.
Overall, this episode shows that the pros and cons of
old and new things to be.
This can be shown in the president election these
days.
There are two party easily distinguished as,
one supporting the old and
another party supporting the new things.
In my
opinion, old is not always bad and new things also can’t be always good.
I think it is case by case.
And from the
episode, they wanted to rebuild the building.
This reminded of Seoul City Hall.
The old City Hall was abandoned because it seemed out dated.
And modernized building has taken its place behind.
I think it is also a
good way to maintain traditional things rather than having all stuffs in
modern.
South Korea is a place where the new is replacing the old at a faster rate than almost anywhere else in the world.

I agree! I'm also glad that old City Hall was preserved. But at the same time, the new City Hall and the old City Hall standing together seems awkward because of the new City Hall seems too modern compared to the old one.
