I was wondering...
What is it with Asian series that lovers have to be separated for a few years at least, before they meet again and find happiness?
It is not the first time I watch a series and the couple are very happy together... but then one of them has to study abroad or has whatever reason to go away for at least a year or 2.. Or one of the characters end up physically hurt and just disappears, doesn't leave a message, to just pop-up later or something. Or even worse: decides that it is better that he/she leaves and just goes away without a word.
I just can't understand this! Is this something Asian? Maybe its also in western cinema, but I did not notice it (yeah, the leaving for each others sake might be there sometimes). Do lovers have to suffer to be happy? Who ever thought it was less hurtful to leave without a word than to stay.. and I don't know.. talk about it?
Is it just me? Do I watch the wrong kind of drama? I'm getting a bit frustrated by it :D.
