About the title and plot

When I was a freshman or a sophomore, the Comprehensive English class asked us to share a word. I prepared for this presentation for a long time, and I went to Zhihu to read related topics. Finally, I chose serendipity. I still remember that the meaning of this word is too difficult to translate. , I gave several Chinese meanings, "encounter", "adventurous encounter", "accomplished by a wonderful hand", "the crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in the dim light."

It's really amazing when I think about it now, whether it was the last encounter with this word because of the presentation before the class, or the serendipity that kept appearing in this film, and what I discovered after watching it, the film's title is also serendipity. It's really a serendipity. The Chinese title is also translated very well, fate is destined.

But the plot itself is a bit unacceptable to me. Two people who have boyfriends and girlfriends, and when they met, they had no problems with their own feelings, but spent several hours on Christmas Eve with someone else's lover. Isn't this a mental derailment... I was really confused when I watched this paragraph.

A few years later, the plot will be even more intense. The two people who are about to get married are actually thinking about the encounter seven years ago. What did the incumbents of these two people do wrong...

There is something wrong with Sarah's boyfriend, but they don't deserve to be cheated on... Although she broke up with her fiancé before she found Johnathan, I always feel that it was spiritual cheating first, plus the original contradiction, That's what prompted her to break up at that time... Without this encounter, she would definitely get married safely... Even if she wants to separate, it will be further torture after marriage that will lead to separation. Johnathan's fiancée is even more innocent. They also gave him the book as a wedding gift, and the result is that this gift happened to cause her wedding to be cancelled, which is ironic.

But it can be regarded as the fiancée and fiancé who indirectly saved the two people. If they are really derailed, they will derail sooner or later, just to make the two exes run towards better and more worthy people. These two are locked to stop harming others.

In fact, if I have to say, the plot itself is really romantic, fate, fate, encounter, destiny, fate, serendipity. But I just can't accept this kind of romance. When I substitute the other half of the hero and heroine, I don't feel romantic anymore. Maybe I'm being too serious ●‿●
