Marrying the wrong one
The TV addict strikes again... yes, that's me... the one who likes to read new lines into Channel 8 TV drama serials. Not sure if anyone caught the episode of the 9pm drama serial yesterday, but the brief synopsis is as follows:
- Girl meets Guy, and falls in love
- Guy falls in love with Gal too!
- Catch: Girl is approaching the big 30, and wants to get married, especially to a successful and responsible man... Guy is a born playboy who lives for the moment, totally anti marriage... extremly against the idea of MARRIAGE
- Solution: Break up... what else?
- New development: Gal meets rich successful plastic surgeon, who is extremly sweet and in love to boot. He proposes, and after contemplation she accepts
- Complication: what else? Guy and Gal cannot forget each other. Gal initiates a holiday with Guy just weeks before the wedding/
Oh my... what a fresh idea. I bet the entire concept of this show shocked all the aunties out there... it definitely gave rise to many a "tsk tsk" from my mother. However, I think for once the script writers are actually trying to depict the conflicting wants of the current generation, and I am quite sure that such dalliances are not as far fetched as our parents would like to imagine. The plastic surgeon is supposed to be the quintessential guy in every gal's dreams, but she is in love with the exact opposite. She decides as her mind asks her to do, but gives her heart one final chance to bask... the holiday scenes were both bitter and touching all at once. The couple went around taking photos, hoping to have pictures to remember their love, and were calmly disucssing her coming marriage.
Of course, at the end of the day, such a radical decision is not to be encouraged, so if anyone has read 8 days, her marriage does not work out, and they are never really able to move on.
Ouch... so it appears choosing the right one is important after all. There are just no remedies... or... mayhaps there never is a right one? Muahahaha... TV shows are really getting more and more interesting

Hey, I know what you're talking about because I thought that sub-story plot is pretty accurate about the state of affairs today. At least I felt that "connection" - I could totally understand her dilemma. Pity I missed the last episode though!
