I realised I have this love for shows that don't exactly have a happy ending
for romance that is
There are times when I feel that the main leads need to get together
but sometimes it's better if they didn't

Sometimes I would think to myself
now that this couple in the show has gotten together, what makes you think that probably 1 or 2 years down the character's lives, they won't fall out of love (especially when it's unconvincing when the couple gets together)
So I really love the open ended ones
because I think that's much more possible in life
Your crush might not know you liked him/her for their entire lives you know
Life may not be that awesome as to let you be with the one you love

That's why I really really liked Niji no Megami ~rainbow song
Especially when he went to her house and read the love letter he once asked her to write (it was to be given to another girl he liked then)
and at the back of the letter it says:

　優柔不断のところが好き
根性ないところが好き
一人じゃ何もできないところが好き
鈍感のところが好き
笑った笑顔が　一番好き

I love your indecisiveness
your lack of nerves
your utter helplessness
your slow grasp of things.
Most importantly, I love your smile.

and it got me right there.
The way her feelings was told to the guy
and the way she likes him is totally <3

I don't mean I like sad endings, like some cancer patient dies
but I like the open-endedness of what could have been.
and like when you finally know how a certain character feels really, it makes you go back to the start of the story and think
oh yeah, that's why those things happened.
I absolutely love those

Same for mystery/suspense/thriller stories
I love it when they don't tell me everything at the end but let me think of what could have happened

I would totally have not minded at all if at the end of In Time With You, Li Da Ren and Cheng You Qing did not end up together
I mean I really hope they would (and gosh the friends to lovers thing gets to me too)
But I like the beauty of it not being the so called "happy ending"

It's called 美中不足 and how I think life actually is.
