VCDs and me...

Had just finished watching 2 korean vcd shows lately. One is called “My bride is 18 years old” and another show called “Stairway to Heaven”. My bride is 18 years old It’s a show about a matchmaking session done by the male and female lead characters’ parents while they were still very young. 18 years later, the male and female lead character finally “have-to” get married, initial intention was to “satisfy” each other’s commitments. The female lead does not want to study and does not want to go to their local university, so getting married would be just the way out for her. The male lead is 28 years old and he is working as a Prosecutor in the country. He decides to get married to this female lead as he wants to please his grandfather. His parents died when he was very young and he is very close to his grandfather. Ok, so they got married finally and moved to a new place of their own. The story developed from here, how they slowly got along, how they adjusted to each other’s living patterns, how they supported and encouraged each other and how they started to fall in love with one another. May seem a little sad in between, but watch on and there is a good ending to this show. Praise God. And yes, the scenery is beautiful.. esp the one on top of the hill.. breathtaking … Through the above show, I‘ve learnt that age is no barrier when it comes to love. When 2 parties decide to come together and form a family, loving one another becomes a decision, no longer a choice. Husbands are to love their wives just as Christ love the church and wives are to submit to their husbands. Also, mutual respect and trust are essential points in a successful marriage. Praise God. Stairway to Heaven For those of you who loves a good old touching love story or if its been ages since you last cried (and washed your eyes with your tears, hee hee, can take as challenge lar), this show is a must watch. For one, the storyline isn’t new and the ending is rather predictable. So what makes the difference ? The difference ? The difference is of coz the handsome male lead lor.. hahahaa… me normal as any other gal ok ? The handsome male lead is 权 相 宇. He acted in another korean movie show called “My Tuition Teacher”. He was that bad student who later fell in love with his tuition teacher in this show and became good. Ok ok, back to the story. Hmm.. male lead and female lead were from rich families. They grew up together and liked each other. Female lead mum died of eye cancer and so the father re-married. Female lead suddenly had a new step mother, step sister and step brother. The step sister is not good (obviously) while the step brother is elusive and loves only to paint. Male lead went overseas to study, but before he left, both he and the female lead made a commitment to each other that they would get together as soon as he comes back. During the period that the male lead was away, the female lead was bullied by the step mother and step sister. By a twist of fate, the step brother found himself loving the female lead. Soon they all grew up and on the day that the male lead was back and arranged to meet the female lead, the step sister drove a car (without licence) and rammed into the female lead. Female lead lost her memory and everyone thought she was dead. The step brother brought the female lead to another location, gave her a new name and took care of her. 5 years later, the female lead became a successful fashion designer. Meanwhile, the male lead had never stopped thinking of the female lead. He saw her in the Disneyland grounds that his company had and chased her from then on. Soon the female lead regained her memory and remembered everything about the male lead, his promises and all. But there is a problem. The male lead had already agreed to be engaged to the step sister. Finally, the male lead and female lead did get married. But then the worst had to happen somehow, the female lead was diagnosed to have eye cancer – supposedly inherited from her mum (classic isn’t it ?). She then went for treatment and all, the step brother even committed suicide in order to donate his corneas to her. All these while, the male lead stayed by her, supported her and loved her. He would not let her go. Okie, the female lead finally died in the male lead arms and they made a pact to meet in heaven. This time the female lead will wait for the male lead just like the period of time where the male lead waited for the female lead when she disappeared and was presumably “dead” for 5 years. Come to think of it, this story is really boring. But I suppose what makes up for it is the handsome actors and beautiful actresses expressions, their emotions portrayed, the music. Once again, their scenery is great. Personally I would love to have such a house near the beach. But what touches me the most is the relentless pursuit of love by the male lead. He didn’t once forget about the female lead even while he was overseas and the moment he touched down from the plane, he went to the same beach house where both the female lead and him stayed when they were younger. God’s love for us is even more relentless compared to the above. He died for us while we were yet sinners, when we don’t even know Him, when we have not accepted Him to be our personal Saviour and Lord. He waited for us, He courted us, He woo us.. God is such a lover and yet despite the many times we reject Him, God still continues on His part. And even when we have accepted Him into our hearts, God still continues to court and woo us… If God had simply just given up on us, what will happen ?
