Before I get to the corny parts of this blog, I am going to share a short synopsis of the TV series.
There was this girl named Guan Xiaofei who never had a boyfriend and was constantly rejected by the guys she likes. Since she was a little girl, this same pattern occurs over and over again when one day, a mysterious (and extremely gorgeous hihi) stranger came by and talked to her. Turns out, this stranger was a ghost. Anyway, there came a time when the last guy who rejected her made her think about everything that is great that can be experienced in a relationship and why she gets rejected by every guy that she liked. But destiny was so kind to her that it gave her the most exceptional kind of relationship she never thought she'd have. She met this weird salesman who gave her what she wanted for so long. A boyfriend. The man was working for secret company who designs robots to be used as a perfect boyfriend. Blah blah blah...this robot was named Nai Te later on by Xiaofei and in the unexpected turn of events, this robot gradually gained self-awareness making him more and more like a human being because of Xiaofei. He was indeed perfect for Xiaofei because she customized him to be perfect. He's absolutely perfect. He was taken for granted at first. But this guy's persistent. He really wanted Xiaofei to be happy so he tried so hard to do everything to make her happy. But human beings are very complex. You can never tell. What can make you happy at the moment can also make you upset in some other time. (Anyway, this blog is getting too long... -__-) Jumping onto the latter parts, Nai Te was slowly malfunctioning because of becoming more human everyday. He was kind of making memories and feelings of his own. He was brought back to the company to get fixed but in order to function normally again, the experts had to reset him and erase all of his past memories with Xiaofei. But as a robot who has been developing human emotions, he was resisting the reset of the computer. Then Xiaofei visited him in the lab and she saw a picture of the mysterious stranger in her dreams. Turns out, the stranger whose looks was patterned for Nai Te was the founder's son and was dead a long time ago. When she got to talk to him, she told Nai Te to forget about her but she was only protecting him from being completely dead. When Nai Te realized her intention, in the end, he escaped from the laboratory and chose to stay with Xiaofei even though he knew that he will stop functioning soon. What Nai Te didn't know is that Xiaofei knew everything about Nai Te's condition when she overheard him talking about it with her bestfriend. In order to make the most of his remaining days, she pretended not to know about it and did everything that would make both of them happy. They were so much happier when they got back together. They even decided to get married. 2 days before the wedding, Nai Te was experiencing severe malfunctioning like falling asleep too often and he even got blinded for a few minutes. On the night before their wedding day, Nai Te decided to leave Xiaofei because he didn't want her to see him die. But before he could leave the ring, Xiaofei appeared and asked if they could practice the ceremony. When Xiaofei read the parts of the priest to Nai Te, asking him if he could protect her and all that stuff asked to a groom, he couldn't say I DO. And then she told her everything. Then after that he "fell asleep" completely. Few hours later, the company manager came and placed Nai Te back in his capsule to be brought back to the lab. When Zhong Shi, Xiaofei's childhood friend, came, he said that he thought Nai Te still have 10 more seconds to live (because he was researching in their company laboratory on how to fix Nai Te cause he wanted to make Xiaofei happy) although the electricity is not enough to make him function fully. Just enough to let him hear everything. So Xiaofei talked to him and told him I Love You in korean. This was also the last thing he said to her last time he blacked out. After she told him that, a tear fell from his right eye. Which was kind of amazing cause robots don't ever cry. Then the 10 second countdown in his database was shown, showing a flashback of his happy memories with Xiaofei. And that was his last "breath".
Well, the ending got me crying...almost sobbing. I got really heart broken. But anyway it was just a tv program. haha
Anyways...
I think, there is really no perfect boyfriend at all. Because basically, no human is perfect. That thing was a robot. A customizable robot. We can't customize people. And besides that, it was a tv program. HAHAHA so anything can happen.
In real life...
It is only us who can decide what perfect IS for us. We have different preferences. But most of the time, these preferences doesn't really come to us. We have this sort of belief (in the Philippines) that the person you're going to end up with is the kind of person you hate. I don't really see the logic in this thing, but it's LOVE. It doesn't need logic!
And I think we do not really need to be searching for the perfect ONE. The only thing that we should do is to prepare ourselves to be the perfect one to the person we are going to meet in the future. And that's a lot easier I guess. haha
