~Female lead~

~Male lead~

~The Ex~

~The really cute ABC~

So, to cut a long story short, chubby girl ends up with cutie 1 and the ex ends up with the ABC cutie. However, throughout the show, I felt a little uncomfortable. This was the first show I'm watching where the girl who snags the lead ain't slim and pretty nor does she undergo any form of transformation to become slim and pretty. Thus, romantic scenes just did not seem as romantic as others...which got me thinking:

Am I so superficial? Has it come to be that only pretty girls and cute guys can have romance?

Alright, now is the point I foresee receiving hate mail but seriously, give it some thought: aren't the leads in romantic shows always good-looking?? Girls swoon over good-looking couples and that's what keeps ratings high. Of course in reality, good-looking couples are really hard to find. Trust me, I've searched long for a suitable partner :P

At the end of the show, I still felt better watching the second couple kiss than the leads making out. Sigh....and I always thought I wasn't particular about appearances. Who was I kidding...
