empireboysOkay, as someone who's watched like 500 romance jdramas/kdramas + read even more ridic Chinese romance novels... the question is, why does the girl always pick the ~bad boy~? See, you always have the female lead start out with arguing with the male lead and thinking he's an obnoxious idiot and a snob + bastard and all that, but then she always realizes that he is more than that and even when he's always mean to her he can do some ridiculously sweet stuff sometimes. Then there will always be the nice, sweet, good guy in the sidelines. Either the female lead never realizes he likes her, or tells him it will never work out with them, or pretends she doesn't know but anyway, he never gets her.
I mean, yeah, standard cliche love story formula. But then a few days ago I was done reading 泡沫之夏 (yeah I know there's a TW drama based on it but all the people are so ugly and totally killed my impression of them in the book ;____;) and... the girl ends up with the second male lead. And I was upset. And then I started wondering why I was upset because whenever I watch dramas I always feel so bad for the nice guy because he's, you know, nice and deserves to have nice things.
The truth is... idk. All girls want sweet guys obviously, but the special thing about the typical male lead is that he's usually mean to everyone. But he's only nice to her, and isn't that the most awesome? Plus when he's sweet he's like mindblowingly sweet, especially since it's a huge difference from his usual self.
Sobs idk anymore the world is too complicated ;_______;
