The Vow

This movie was one of the more highly anticipated movies by my dear as I guess it was very much related to the upcoming events in our lives.

The movie started blissfully with the male and female lead knowing each other from mere strangers, to falling in love and getting married. However, as with all movie plots, the twist came when a car accident happened and the female lead lost her memory of the male lead.

At the beginning, the male lead tried all ways to restore their blissful lives together, but to no avail. What made things worse was that the girl's parents sort of disapproved of their relationship and wanted the girl to go back and live with them. As such, the guy had no choice but to sign the divorce papers as he only wanted the girl to be happy.

It was only later that the girl realised that her family members had concealed the truth from her and she previously left home because her dad had an affair with her best friend. The girl thus went back to find the guy. At the same time, the guy also realised that there was no point in trying to revive the old memories when it was more important to create new memories. The show ended with both of them happily ever after, the girl with her previously lost memories never recovered and a glimpse of the actual couple from which the movie was based on.

I quite enjoyed the show and the thought about whether to restore previous memories or to create new memories intrigued me. I guess seeing that the reviews was quite bad also helped me like it better as it wasn't as bad as expected. Also, I wondered if I am able to stay as strong as the guy if my dear forgot about me. Hmm...
