The Nature of Love

 

The Nature of Love (c)

As you all know I've been enjoying Her Private Life a Kdrama Romantic Comedy, they are like

Coronation Street with James Bond production values, though obviously Korean girls are far prettier.

In this particular Kdrama, He thinks the She is a Lesbian, but she is not. But he pretends to be her 

boyfriend from Super Fans, which is very Korean mania, a bit like Trumpianism but without all the lies 

kind of. Judge for yourselves.

Now tonight as I watched it I saw struck by a simple thought, expressed through the Kdrama, without 

any drama really. In the story a Photographer left his final photos to a Writer friend of his before dying. 

The reveal was the the pretend couple were overheard taking by the Writer. And the girl said, and she 

was a secret Kpop snapper, there is Love in his eyes, the eyes of the dead Photographer. And the final 

published photo has a title, but it had been mistranslated. It should say Hi not Goodbye, apparently 

there in Korean that means both, and forgive me I was reading sub titles. So if you are Korean in the 

street and you see me, don't slap me for my ignorance. 

The point was the Photographer loved the Writer more than just a friend of 30 years. It was a Gay 

friendship but never expressed, just repressed. So the Writer was wondering did his Photographer friend

know he loved him back even though he did not dare say it, due to his upbringing. The Art gallery man 

from the pretend couple said, of course he did, as a Photographer sees things that a photographer would 

see. Just as an Artists sees things too, the Art guy was an Painter too. So it was sweet to see these few 

minutes  of a Kdrama, express Love in another way.

Immediately some of you hate hate I've just said. But Love is Love is a true expression of Reality. Yes it

is so boring, when people boast I am Gay, just like in Little Britain on tv in UK years ago, before 

Wokism killed Comedy. Just Live and Let Live, just don't push your opinion down our throats. Who

are you to judge anyway, Linda the Deep Throat  Political commentator?

But  all Love is good, just don't make women blush and startle the horses in the street. Yes it is better to 

love and lost than never ave loved at all. It is better there were no cobwebs where love should have 

emerged. It is better the soft kiss instead of the stinging nettle. A year, 10, 20, 30, 40 or more, or just far 

 far less than none at all. Or being abandoned and rejected, can make you bitter.

But you have memories of kisses and more, broken beds and tables, discarded clothes everywhere, and 

much much more. And if you have kids after your coupling, then you have kids doing all the damage 

and leaving a trail of rubbish everywhere. And life goes on till the love stops. Today was also a 

memorial for somebody who was much loved, a church filled with love.

So the mix of events primed the pump  for these words, love can last a lifetime, it can end tragically, it 

can also just die, and wither away. So enjoy every second of it.

Then watch Kdramas for the Comedy and Pathos, and maybe just may you'll have a happy ending,

Love conquering all, despite the twists and turns, and no I'm not talking about Karma Sutra. Just  to 

some soppy Kramas with music and comedy and James Bond production values. And maybe just maybe

they'll open a Korea food shop in your street, and the girl there will fall madly in love with you,

you marry have 4 kids and form a Kpop family.

I do like happy endings, as my Tinnitus roars in my ears, and I wish I wish.
