So did everyone else.
The original script had Molly Ringwald’s character end up with Ducky. The women in the test audiences wanted her to end up with Andrew McCarthy, so Hughes re-wrote the ending.
Not to be deterred, Hughes rewrote the script, flipped the genders, had the lead character end up with the friend instead of the more popular love interest like he wanted to in the first place, and called it Some Kind of Wonderful. Nobody minded this time.
Ringwald’s refusal to take the Mary Stuart Masterson role in that film is the reason she never worked for Hughes again.

Because teenage girls want the cool guy and most girls want the rich guy. Its hardwired hunter-gatherer DNA...the question women ask: who's gonna be man enough to take care of me? Duckie is no hunter.
Plus Duckie was screwed from the get go.
He was in the friend zone, serving 18 to life, and that's a female maximum security prison even Andy Dufresne couldn't escape from.

I enjoyed Some Kind of Wonderful
more. It was the first time I noticed Elias Kotteas, who went on to much more serious and darker roles, like David Cronenberg’s “Crash” about erotic
Car crashes, “Zodiac” and “The Thin Red Line”.
