a lot like love
Just caught the show earlier on. In case you are asking what show that is, take another look at the title. If that still doesn’t ring a bell, you probably haven’t been to the movies for a long time oredi. Oh well, it doesn’t matter anyway and the show isn’t a blockbuster hit. 
The movie started with the super standard plot of boy meets girl. Can’t be more cliche than this. And not surprisingly, boy fall in love with girl and almost vice versa…girl took slightly longer.
Oh well, then it started to look a bit different from here…neither of them fall totally head over heels with each other and they do not promise undying love or the usual soap opera’s standard of heart wrenching and tears dripping plot. However, perhaps due to that, it started to get a bit boring and slow moving, absolutely nothing stunning or spectacular that I got a bit bored at the start and started questioning myself whether I have picked the wrong show. (Com’on, get it going already). Worse of all, it was ME who suggested this show to my friend, who is sitting right beside me in the theater.
Opportunities followed by opportunities, missed, each and everyone of them. Concealed emotions, hidden feelings, mind games, other commitments in life that made choosing a certain path a little more tricky, not daring enough to plunge in and commit, unsure of their own feelings, bad timings…did you notice something already. Surely looks a lot like real life to me.
Then something hit me. The reason why the show is moving at such a painstakingly slow pace is b’cos it is just like real life, showing things that we dread most and real life ain’t all beautiful, fast pace, enticing and luring at times. In fact, it usually sucks. Things just doesn’t go the way you want them to be for most of the time, doesn’t it?
The reason why we find most romantic comedy or romantic films so nice and attractive from the start is b’cos it is portraying a world which we envisage and wished for. Who doesn’t want a smashing love at first sight relationship which would also be an enduring, exciting, interesting and everlasting relationship. Seriously, given a choice with no conditions attached, who doesn’t want it? However, how often does such a scenario happens in real life? Almost none, practically zero. The world’s isn’t perfect, man isn’t perfect and thus relationship, a creation of this world with man’s involvement, wouldn’t be perfect either. Of course, that doesn’t stop us from dreaming the impossible, does it?
Of course, the show is still a show ultimately, it still have to account to its audience ultimately. The couple would still somehow end up together in the end, no matter how they have F***** up their karma previously. Seriously, this is just to satisfy the crowd, as how often does this sort of things happens in the real life. Almost none. There is a window period for everything and when that window closes, it closed. Time never waits for man and life goes on.
