I was watching a Korean drama with someone last week and she told me that the "nice guy" gets dumped for the not so nice guy.
This week, I watched a Japanese movie called KoiSora (Sky of Love), where the girl, went back to the guy that treated her badly (despite for ulterior motives) and leaves the guy that did her no wrong and was nice to her throughout.
Does this reflect real life that "nice guys never win" ? That got me thinking that there really isn't a show, story or manga about the people who have lost in love. Guy gets girl, they lived happily ever after. But what about that other guy who lost? Usually they get forgotten after their job as a love triangle plot device in the drama is done. They would say "I love you , and to love you I have to let you go and be happy" or some similar corny line and that would be the end of their story.
But for everyone out there who has ever got the dreaded "We're just friends" line, the story isn't so conveniently over is it? Recovery is a hard and long process. Its definately not immediate. Some would even continue to love their object of unrequitted love for years or maybe never ever really getting over it even after marriage.
That said I am inspired to write a story/drama/script or whatever for all the "losers" out there. I'm sure there are alot of people who can relate to this story and it makes for a more touching and sad story compared to the usual story about the winners at love.
sigh. unfortunately, it's true.
ReplyDeleteit seems good girls tend to fall for the bad guys.
i ve a friend who has a good bf but she somehow can't forget someone else although she wishes to.
as her friend, i can give all the objective reasoning in the world but in the end.. it's that person's feelings that she can't control.
case being... good guy vs not so good guy and usually good guy loses
