But if you’re a sucker for happy endings and fairytales which I have grown out, you’d probably be satisfied with the ending. Anyway, that’s my opinion, my affliction and my dilemma. That’s the very reason why I note to myself not to watch too much rom-coms, knowing that I’m such a sucker for it and that I’m easily dissuaded by its ideas. Too much of that hope and you’ll get too much disappointment, too. The movie culminates with their reunion years later, a scene that only aggravates the hopeless romantic in me. It would have not spewed an absurd fantasy. It would have taught us that sometimes, not all loves are reciprocated and that we just have to put aside that hurt, carry on with our lives and move on. The story would have ended with a lesson to learn by all hopeless romantics out there who’s suffering a cruel plight called unrequited love.
I would have preferred if the ending was they go on their separate ways and Nam, after her heartbreak learns to move on. Not that I’m cynical which I probably am because I truly envy Nam for having a happy ending where as I had not had mine yet or perhaps never will, but I would have preferred that Nam and Chon don’t end up together. (Spoiler alert! Don’t read this paragraph if you don’t want to be spoiled.) I find the ending too good to be true, too fairytale-ish. If there is one down side to the movie, it’s the ending. The movie was really entertaining and I classify it as one of my favorites. Well, I don’t know if you’ve ever been there, but I’ve been. But someone, you realized, will never do that and in the end he’s someone you’ll never forget for breaking your heart. Someone you hoped will look at you in the way you look at him. Someone you thought was so sweet to you, but you overlooked that he’s just like that with everybody else. Someone who inspires you to do better in your endeavors. Someone who makes your name sound way better when he says it than anybody else saying it. He’s someone that made you interested in Love articles online, made you read those magazine articles about crushes, articles that you’ve overlooked before. He’s someone you’ve had a good conversation with and with a flicker of hope in your heart, you think to yourself how you might just have a chance with him. You remember yourself crushing on this very exemplary guy who’s way out of your league, because he’s probably a senior, probably someone so talented, someone so smart and charming that a lot of girls are after him. What makes the movie hilarious and at the same time heartrending is its ability to make you see yourself in Nam’s shoes or maybe in Teacher’s Inn’s shoes.
