101st Proposal [1]

When I was a child, about 10 or 11, there was this Japan serial called 101st Proposal. It was a story about a man named Tetsuro in the conquere of his love. Classic, huh?

The difference, or the interesting, point of this serial was because the main character, Tesuro, was not a handsome or athletics or rich man. He was an ordinary man like we used to see and know in our daily life. He was kind of short with a classic, a bit stupid, haircut. I am not saying that he was ugly, he was just too ordinary.

And there was no any make over that suddenly turn Tetsuro into a handsome prince charming in this serial. This was not a story about ugly duck that turn to be a swan.

Tetsuro had had 100 rejections in his life. 100 women that he proposed rejected him or just simply left him. Then he met this pretty woman named Kaoru, and fell in love. Things were not going smooth for Tetsuro, not only because he wasn’t physically attractive but also because Kaoru was a frigid yet cold woman. She had a kind of trauma after her fiancée died on their wedding day.

And since Kaoru was a very beautiful lady, there were lots of men who were more handsome and richer that Tetsuro chased her too.

Since Tetsuro was not a quitter, he kept pursuing for Kaoru. Slowly, his kindness touched Kaoru. Tetsuro was a very kind and innocent man indeed.
But dating Kaoru was not an end for Tetsuro. Right after they decided to get married, Kaoru met a man who was very much looked like his previous fiancée. Not only his look, but also his attitude was almost the same with him. And to made things even more complicated, this man was happened to be Tetsuro's new boss.

Kaoru started to doubt her feeling. Did she really love Tetsuro anyway? Tetsuro made her felt comfortable and at ease, indeed. But was it love? Why didn’t her heart race when she was with Tetsuro like it did when she was with the other man?

The question is: which one is more like love, comfort or heart race?

NB. I found a part of this dorama in Youtube, try this.
