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

[karened]

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!

 

Title: 友共情
Title: Friendship
Singer: 古巨基
Singer: Leo Ku

＊下雨天　總掛念從前
　球場上那可愛片段
　突然又已一年　祈望再會面
　舊朋友　就算心永未遙遠
　但這刻渴望見　即使重聚再短　＊
＊Rainy day, Always missing the past
　That cute scene at the sports ground
　Suddenly, it's been another year. Hope to meet again.
　Old friend, even if our hearts are never far apart,
　I still long to see you at this moment, no matter how short the reunion is　＊

＃時光可變　世界可變
　人情亦許多都變遷
　友共情不變　那種真找不到缺點
　你我再次相見　隨年和月
　身心雖耗損　友共情從難扭轉
　心內那熱暖　仍是純真未變　＃
＃Time may change,　The world may change
　Many feelings also change
　Friendship doesn't change, no flaws can be found with that kind of sincerity
　You and I meet again, As days pass
　Although the body and heart are worn out, friendship is difficult to turnaround.
　The warmth within the heart is still pure and unchanged　＃

(Now and then think of you and me
Forever friends forever we’ll be
Time is changin’ but nothing’s to be blamed
Cos’ our hearts forever sing)

Repeat ＊＃＃
