warm the cold heart

Just finished watching 'Gong' and I loved it. The story talks about how a girl manages to warm the heart of the male lead (the crown prince) and he finally falls in love with her.

The prince is burdened with responsibilities and challenges and yet he has to portray a cold and confident image. But he is a human being, a man after all, who needs to take a break and smell the flowers. This girl simply charges into his life without any warning and manages to turn it around. Both so different in family background, personaility and interests etc, yet they click and fill in the gaps perfectly. Of course a happy ending.

While everyone rejoices for the couple, have they forgotten about the other 2 leads?

The prince's first love who tries hard to win back his love. She may be seen despicable but she is only a woman - a woman who wants to protect her own love. Then later she realises it takes two to tango.

Next is the other male lead. Also a prince with fantastic qualities and an even warmer heart. But he did not win the love of the princess. He has all eyes on her and is willing to do anything for her. The girl is touched but she cannot love him. There is simply no sparks.

My colleague asked me which male lead do I prefer. I said the crown prince. While I appreciate the 2nd prince's love and sincerity but I need someone who is street smart and able to look after me. The crown prince may be cold and has no interest in the girl at first. But all is not lost. Her love for him finally touched him.

This is the beauty of love - learn to warm the cold heart.
