View on Love

There is this new chinese drama on air by the name of 'The Placebo Cure'. the show is quite nice where it talks about 3 experts, a psychologist, a psychiatrist and a fortune teller. haha.. but as the title says, most part is concerning psychological treatment la..

besides the point that this drama revolves around a psychologist, another thing i like about the show is how similiar the main actor (psychologist) and i are. i don't mean it in terms of looks la of course.. i mean in terms of how we look (or more precisely, his character) looks at love

this psychologist goes by the name Dr. Man and he had a record of no more than 3 months. everytime he goes into a relationship with a girl, it only lasted 3 months.. reason being he is a little conservative.. i remember some of the conversations quite nicely and i shall type it out here..

Scene 1: Dr. Koo (Dr. Man's mentor) talks to Stella (the company's receptionist)

Stella: Eh, the girl always come and find Dr. Man, do you think they are in a relationship?
Dr. Koo: Well, it depends how you defind 'being in a relationship'.
Stella: Well, going out together, watching movie and kissing lo
Dr. Koo: They haven't reach the end part yet.
Stella: Then i hope this time Dr. Man can pass through the 3 months ler.. everytime after 3 months, he will comes back single
Dr. Koo: Ah.. this is not his fault.. this happens because all the girls have no patience to wait for him to close the gap between them and be intimate..

Scene 2: Dr. Man talking to his families

Mum: Son ar.. when are u going to bring back a girl and introduce to us? even your busy brother and sister have people going after them.. but from you, no news at all
Dr. Koo: Mum arr... i won't bring a girl back unless i am in a stable relationship with her
Mum: Haih.. even i your mum which is a school headmistress is not as conservative as you. You can think of it as introducing an additional friend so that me and your dad can know her right?
Dr. Koo: Whatever la... i won't bring back a girl unless i am serious about it

Scene 3: Dr. Koo talking to Dr. Man while they were playing golf

Dr. Koo: You know your own weakness right? you always go slow in a relationship, and everytime when 3 months arrive, the girl will have lost their patience and leave you
Dr. Man: I know, but these things can't be hurried ma.. didn't you know? if you want to boil good soup, you must lower the fire and boil it for a long time..
Dr. Koo: well.. there are always pressure cooker

hmm.. i think all i have the same views like Dr. Man.. i don't know why, but then i don't really would go after someone if i don't know her well enough.. i would need to take time to understand her better to see whether or not she suits me.. and i definitely won't bring anyone home unless it's serious and in stable condition la..

but i think my opinion is abit outdated no? still, i am fine being this conservative. i will have a good time wathching how Dr. Man progresses, both as a psychologist and in his love life.. hahaha

God Bless~
