... how you took the sourest lemon that life has to suffer and made it into something resembling lemonade
I'm glad to have seen this American drama and engaged in Xiaoneng's film review . In the future, I will also sit face to face with the other half at the work table, watch episode by episode, pause at any time, and write down what we want to say. The clues and easter eggs before and after this American drama are very delicately designed, and each episode also tells the stories of five people in the second generation through two timelines, past and present.
S1E2 Being Parents of 3 Kids
Build Links: Me – Me – Big Three
First time: everyone is a partner and parent for the first time
S1E7 Brothers
Competing for attention: Randell has excellent grades but feels inferior to his identity, Kevin is unhappy that his parents pay more attention to Randell, so the two are always so intense to each other. There is a saying that an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal. I really don’t know what to do if I become a mother with 2 or more children in the future and face limited attention to the children.
S1E8 Thanksgiving
Tradition Continuation: Continuing family tradition is a sweet burden, hiking/moving/turkey/pulling yarn, if all family members share common values & happiness for a certain thing, the execution of tradition can really continue the bonding of the core.
Fighting for freedom: Rebecca told her parents that she would not go to her parents' house for an unhappy Thanksgiving again - Comparing with her younger sister and brother-in-law, and meeting her parents' passive and aggressive expectations - freedom comes from struggle
Seize the moment: Cherish those who love you & leave your unfaithful partner, life's too short
S1E9 Biological Father
Identify yourself & understand others: Randell finds that Rebecca already knew his biological father was William, so there is another point of being angry with his adoptive mother; Randell never stops looking for his biological father, but what he doesn't know is that Jack and Rebecca never stop getting to know black people Family, helping Randell find his own identity, the push-ups that Jack made in the martial arts hall perfectly echoed his decision to become an 11-point dad for his children and a 12-point dad for Rebecca in S1E2.
In the face of failure: Kate struggled with stomach surgery to lose weight. Olivia broke Kate's worries about whether the surgery could change her future life. Kevin helped Kate to confirm her worries about the risks of surgery and her sadness in the face of breaking up . Sometimes we pay too much attention to the unknown results and affect the decision-making at the moment. In fact, it is difficult to face the self who has tried but failed.
