Hello Strangers

Yesterday, i watched Hello Stranger with my friend at 1U.
Basically, the story line was alright,
Guy gets dumped by girlfriend and goes to Korea with the hopes that the ex goes too.
Girl lies to controlling bf in order to go to Korea to attend a Korean friend's wedding. (Then she gets dumped too.)
These 2 people meet and somehow or another, start vacationing together with the agreement that they do not tell each other their names.
Point: The guy's an ass and the girl's endearingly dumb.
Jokes all along the way. Ha ha ha.
And then the guy decides to marry his ex (He wouldn't marry her and that's y she broke up with him.)
So he sent a postcard back to Thailand to propose to ze ex.
Unfortunately, at the same day, he meets 2 Thai friends who tells him his ex is getting married.
His heart gets broken and the girl feels sorry for him.
Then these 2 heartbroken ppl start developing feelings for each other and the guy confesses to the girl.
So all lovey dovey, they were on their way to the airport when--- TaDa!! The guy's ex shows up.
The ex got the postcard and came all the way to Korea to look for the guy.
So the girl decides to leave them alone and let them reconcile.
But then~~~Then~~~THEN~~~
(And here the rant starts)

The idiotic guy decides,
Hey! Why should I go back to
my gf of 8 yrs while i can just
pine over a girl i met for 8 days???

and thus the idiot breaks his gf's heart again and waits and pines and waits and pines for a girl that he LOVES even though he only knew her for 8 DAYS.
I mean...GOD...
You were in a situation where you were not familiar with the culture, you were lonely and vulnerable, and you met someone.
Great!
If you are both available, wonderful! Get together!
BUT you have a girlfriend you idiot!! She came all the way from Thailand to Korea for you just because of a GODDAMN postcard!!!

So basically, the ending of this movie pisses me off because it's so unrealistic.
Ok, i get it. You want to make a movie that's different.
Then make a movie with a REALISTIC ending la~~
There're already so many movies out there which have fairy tale endings. We do not need more.
Having so many of these fairy-tale-like movies will only make the modern society more fanatical and naive and unrealistic.

Bottom line is:
If you are an ASS and unwilling to marry your girlfriend of 8 years, have a change of heart and she's still willing to marry your punk ass, CHOOSE HER. And not that random girl you knew for 8 days.
