I’ve been watching this Cantonese drama aired in TV 2 every weekdays at 7,called the Dream of Colours. Mainly abt desisgning,but what I’m drawn to in this series is the relationship between a leading designer,Nick and his girlfriend,Elaine. After 10 yrs together, only that Elaine felt that there’s no more love In the relationship and she initiated breakup. It’s ironic considering that ppl ard them said they were the perfect couple. Nick by nature is a perfectionist in his designs and work. He lets Elaine make the decision and always tell her ‘as long as you like’ and ‘your decision is my decision’. When Elaine initiated break up with Nick, she said Nick was too focused on other things in life and that she wasn’t part of it anymore. She also asked Nick why can’t his love be like his attitude towards his designs. After breakup, Nick’s the one who’s unable to accept the fact, also because this break up came as a total surprise as Elaine totally dropped the bomb on him without any signs. Nick tried talking to her and said they can start all over again but Elaine said this breakup was for the better if them both and that only time can prove that she’s right about their relationship.
For some reason or another I felt as if I was in Nick’s shoes, feeling what he’s going through. It also got me thinking what if that did happen to me. I felt as if this will be something I would experience. But it really got me thinking a lot. I really can’t imagine what will come of me if I’m in Nick’s shoes.
p/s : If you’re reading, don’t think too much ok. But I really felt for Nick as I watched.
