BoJack the Horseman is certainly an iconoclastic male protagonist, especially in the cartoon world. Contrary to the image of an excellent hero who is upright and works hard and finally succeeds, he is frustrated and lazy to do nothing and fail in a mess. However, he unexpectedly won the love of countless audiences, and successfully became a dark horse because of his own failure.
Broken family of origin, tragic childhood experiences, short-lived fame, and then a long period of loneliness, intimacy is always out of reach. A horse man's life may not be enough to trigger our sympathy, but enough to trigger our empathy. As a human being, there is bound to be the pressure of pursuing excellence and success, and it is bound to feel the confusion, frustration and pain encountered on the way to establish an intimate relationship.
Ma Nan's mother said to him, You are born broken. Who of us is born complete?
But as the song goes:
There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.
There's a crack in everything, that's where the light comes in
