Dear John
This show, I admit... It was kinda draggy and I almost fell asleep somewhere halfway to the end of the movie. It's different from Lake House, which has a better plot on how the couple having a happy ending and living happily ever after.
However, that's not my main point when I watched this show. What created my interest in watching this movie was how the couple met and got together for only 2 weeks, then right after survived the Long Distance Relationship because the guy got to serve the country. What interest me of course, was whether they end up being together. Of course, I suspected they would end up together, happily ever after OR the girl friend would suffer from grieving her mans death, being shot during war or something. Isn't it the usual love story in the movie? They never cast 2 main lovers to fell apart because of another woman or man and ends there.
In the movie, the girl decided to break up with the man, because she needs to help her dying friend or relative (I kinda confused) and got engaged with that friend (or relative). However, still the girl and the army boy friend got together because despite their separations for 5 years, they still love each other.
It's expected ending. But the main point is, because they still love each other so much they still want to work out the relationship just to be with each other and I thought that's what love is all about. Having that closeness, despite they were geographically apart, despite the situations that they were in, and despite the time... They still love each other... Want to be together.
I used to be in a Long distance relationship. Because of certain situations, which is not even as complicated as above, we broke up. The reasons didn't lie on me not loving him. I loved him so much that, no matter what he had done to me, I FORGAVE him countless times. According to him, he left because he couldn't trust me and it broke my heart because knowing my characteristics, comparing knowing that he was the one who was the player that again and again have broke my heart, I should be the one who couldn't trust him. he claimed that he loved me, but just how much can he withstand the trials... The test if our love is true.
How I hope that every love, it will end up with happily ever after, just like in the movie; withstand the trials of not being physically together, forgiveness, understanding, putting the other first above ourselves. I guessed, in real life, especially in this society with countless choices, it's no longer easy to find love. Not even understanding the word.
I glad that my love towards him, withstand difficulties. Friends oppositions and countless of other womens approach... I still withstand all. I guessed that's the reason why. Love... with no reason. He is rotten, he is trash but love is not that easy to fathom. It's the chemistry we had. It took me long to recover. I still harbor that thought of happily ever after like in the movie. That kind of love is not easy to come by. And just like what he used to say that he already knew how to treasure someone he loves so much...But.. If he really practice what he had said then, I think the ending would be different. He chose his pride. And I felt devastated, because... I loved him so much and as a woman, an emotional being, who is even more easily hurt than men and more vulnerable, i was so ready to let go of my pride, grit my teeth, continue loving him, losing my face in front of my friends, whom he used to pick them in the club while he was still with me, the criticism from his flings and all....he could not withstand one misunderstanding, where he thought I was out to cheat on him, despite all friends stood up for me and told him that I didn't... He could not... Where I still stood up despite all the girls came to me that He Cheated on me big time, brought girl home when i wasnt around. That's not what I describe Love. It's just another cheap word from him. He can't practice it. He had a lot of choices of women anyway.
Now.. alone... i still believe that LOVE do exist. No matter what.
