Was watching this Jap drama called "Zettai Kareshi" (Absolute Boyfriend) during my break. It is about this girl Riiko, who is a sweet, simple girl, always doing her best (which her dream lover doesn't like as he thinks she is too serious). So she was wondering why she never meet the perfect partner, the ideal one, and her whining is overheard by a man from the company called "Kronos Heaven" which produces robots. One of the latest invention of the company is a lover robot, programmed to suit every girl's needs. And so Riiko went to the company to "customize" her ideal boyfriend. From the look to the personality and skills (who knows how to cook and looks sexy when exercising, be there for her whenever she is in trouble, can be a little jealous etc...) "Night Tenjo" with all her establised ideal characteristics is sent to her for trial use. So this is how the story goes, with Riiko seeking for her ideal partner (a real human), and life with the ideal partner she created.
It gets me thinking, aren't we all looking for the ideal and perfect someone? But no one in this world is perfect, so who we are actually looking for is someone perfect to us, with their own imperfections, just like we do. Riiko has her ideal boyfriend which she created, who sometimes seems rigid, rather than perfect.
Sometimes the ideal ways become the limit instead, and we will not venture out the ideal boundary cos we know it is not ideal to go beyond. So we live in our own world trying our best to create the ideal world.
But maybe we can have different ideal ways at different phases of our life? Or perhaps we could have more than one ideal scenario at one time so that every scenario is perfect?
It is nice to have an ideal world (dream) but lets not let it becomes our own obstacles to appreciate the things we have.
