Although this 6-episode short drama is not rated high, I still like it very much. The soundtrack, photography and storytelling are quite good.
The last episode is especially wonderful, and it represent yesterday. The beginning of the episode shows how Margherita and Carol met, and the end of the gathering recreates the scene sensually. Aurally, Tchaikovsky's music is a link between past and present. Visually, the framed mirror of the floor-to-ceiling windows is another connection. Meanwhile, yesterday's reappearance is ironic. Even if the beginning is as wonderful as a novel episode, even if two people are physically obsessed with each other and spiritually confidant, a marriage can still become lifeless and balanced by a 20-year-old female college student.
In the last episode, the two are also the mirror of each other. They shine in their respective area, which is inseparable from their devotion and persistence to themselves in the past and present. This actually shows that, outside of a relationship, whether or not to have self-space is more important. At most stages of our lives, we need to invest our energy to build and shine, regardless of gender.
It's an interesting couple relationship. The man is a writer, a writing course professor, and the woman is a real estate agent. The former is a very emotional profession that requires free, romantic, and unconstrained imagination, while the latter is a highly rational profession that needs to quickly measure gains and losses in the real world and help others complete important transactions in life. The two did a decent job in their roles, but they seemed to be a little off. At the same time, in this relationship, women make sacrifices and put their dreams on hold in support of her husband's writing.
This is a husband and wife relationship in which men cheated first and women followed. Cheating always refers to the fact that one of the spouses is the first to break away from the normal track of marriage and life, which must have a major impact on life. The question is, why did Carl cheat? Apparently, he was stuck in his daily life and needed some inspiration to advance his creative writing. But, at the last minute, when he found out that his wife had also cheated, he gave up the work and turned to become a publisher.
This is a TV series that pleases women. It tells a story of women's awakening, and reminds women once again that the focus must be on themselves. Margherita is saddened by Carol's infidelity. Because after getting married, she gave up her dream and focused her life on becoming a virtuous domestic helper, but she got a conventional ending of her husband's falling in love with a twenty-something college student. However, Carol's infidelity also makes Margherita re-examine her life. She chose to pick up her old dream from an old box and become a career woman, starting a decorating company. She is grateful to the handsome masseuse. Because to a certain extent, she took advantage of him and successfully used him as a tool person who would throw it away. In the relationship between the two, she took the initiative to give hints, and the other party responded positively. But in turn, he helped her start over.
After two-way derailment and looking for life, the two people are still not satisfied with the status quo, so the ending is an open ending. Of course, compared to Carol's loss, Margherita has won back the dominance over the relationship that was in her hands from the beginning. At this time, she is mature, beautiful and radiant both in her career and relationship.
