Thank god 谈情说案 is not another Guy-Tavia-Guy story

I'm sorely disappointed by the ending of Cupid Stupid. It totally ruined the whole story. I don't want to spend time commenting too much about this disappointing ending, but I need to rant, so I've copied and pasted a comment I left on another website regarding the series.

I finished the whole thing, with much fast forwarding when the side plots start to bore me. The ending! I had so much expectations for it. Given TVB's tendancy to go for happy (even if illogical) endings, I firmly believed that Tavia will end up with Steven.

I mean, when you have a guy who's always by the girl's side, who has loved her from so long ago, who seems to be the underdog, and who is always putting the girl's interest first, by typical plot development he will end up with the girl, right? Maybe TVB wanted a twist that can also elevate Steven's character into someone more noble and pitiful.

Instead the ending killed Steven for me. I was frustrated through the show (mainly in the middle) when Steven's attempts at confessing kept being thwarted by people and by external events. But at least he was trying to pull Tavia towards himself. However, at the end, he was pushing Tavia away. Why even set out to search for Tavia in Disneyland if you're going to push her away after finding her? Just because he saw Michael there too? Ridiculous! Such a character is not worthy of pity, although I did shed tears for him.

This ending is worse than SITS, and more illogical. For goodness sake, TVB, stop pairing up Steven and Tavia if you're not going to let them have a single happy ending. Why is do you keep putting Tavia into a 2 guys + 1 girl scenerio with Steven!?

Oh, and reading the comments above, I think some fellow disgrunted viewers were looking for the title of the song the foolish Trio recorded. I searched around Baidu and found the song. Here's the lyrics and translation!
