I wonder if I will remember how much I yearn for the simplicity in life 10 years down the road.

Watching My Fair Princess again, I am reminded of the simplicity of life and why it appeals to the audience so much.

It portrays the exact image and actions people do not have the courage to do.

敢爱敢恨

They were all people who dared to love, to fight for what they believe in, to bear consequences for their actions, always standing behind one another, doing crazy things together.

Even it meant to face death, they knew what they wanted, what they had to fight for.

Perhaps it is because it is exactly what we wished we were, that is why the audience loved the series so much.

The different types of love, all equally endearing and memorable.

The all accepting love, loving the person for who she is and loving him despite his many wrongdoings.

The all in love, putting everything into it, loving the other more than you love yourself.

The wasn't meant to be love, between people who shouldn't love, between people who shouldn't be together. And most importantly, how love, sort out their hatred, their grievances and others. And how love makes their lives better.

And how, being at the top, doesn't mean you can do what you want. Life isn't really a bed of roses at the top. You have your restrictions, Xia Yu He, people you cannot love, people you cannot be with.

Yong Qi & Xiao Yan Zi, Zi Wei & Er Kang, Qing'er & Xiao Jian. Even Xiang Fei and her prince.

I should watch the show again, in 3 years, to remind myself, of what life should be like. Not what others think is right, but what you think is right.

I love how dramas are subtle yet strong in their message. And as if the audience realise what they are fed with.
