I really regret not watching this drama earlier, it's a masterpiece, 5 stars!
It is also a drama about family, which is different from Modern Family.
It tells about almost everything that can be encountered in life, life and death, love, marriage, widowhood, derailment, parenting, race, mid-life crisis, etc.
Women who envy the Pearsons can meet good men. Haven't read it yet, there may be a twist, because after Jack died, it looked like he died very young, and Rebecca got married to his best friend. . . But as of the episodes I've seen, Jack is the perfect man. Can earn money to support the family, can bend and stretch, can soothe the broken mood of the pregnant wife, can also take care of the children, and give different heart-warming solutions to each child's problems and the scene, omg! On Thanksgiving, when encountering various problems, when walking 5.5km (or mile? I can’t remember) and encountering a very uncomfortable hotel room and cold food, it can also save the day and let everyone have a happy Thanksgiving. And the children still follow this tradition many years later. So Kevin hates Miguel for a reason. When it comes to Miguel, I always feel that he has ulterior motives. From the beginning, under the banner of caring about Jack, he secretly provoked their relationship (when I wrote this sentence, I didn't see why Rebecca would marry him)
And Rebecca is a cool mom who makes her 36-year-old want to talk to her when she has a problem.
As Kevin and Kate of twins, Kevin is handsome but not so confident, and it is easy to deny himself; and although Kate said that she is fat, she also minds this, but found that she is not, she is actually quite popular, and her heart is stronger. Very interesting.
No role is not full. Old William's life has been a bit high and low. When he was young, he was said to be talented, and he did write very good songs. Unfortunately, he made a wrong step. Before his death, he said that he should spend his whole life Hesitating between have and almost. (Don't touch drugs, it's the same everywhere)
When Dr. K was helping Rebecca deliver the baby, Jack was sad because of the loss of a child. The doctor advised and comforted him. At first, he thought he was a gentle old man with experience. Only later did he see that he was also suffering himself, and he hadn't recovered from the pain of losing his wife in old age for more than a year. It was also because of the Jack family that comforted him. So it's actually a two-way redemption. From now on, Dr. K can also let go of his heart, continue to live, and try to have dinner with other old ladies haha.
And the fireman who picked up Randoll, because of a child, also had the opportunity to start over with his wife.
####It has nothing to do with the drama, some of my own messy thoughts
The part about the mother-daughter relationship really touched me. Is it because mother and daughter are born at odds? It's not that they don't love each other, they love each other, but they can't be together for a long time. Including Monica and her mother in Friends. While the daughter hates a certain habit of her mother, she tries her best to avoid becoming such a person, but unknowingly, she is actually such a person. Kate said something outrageous to Rebecca, even saying that your existence was a mistake, which was uncomfortable. Facing her daughter, Rebecca couldn't say anything to refute or attack, so she could only bear it silently. But when Rebecca was young, she also said something bad to her mother. Her mother drove to see her on the eve of the snow, only to hear her panic on the phone. However, when the snow stopped, she let Jack, who had a fever, clean up the snow and the car, and let her mother go.
The mother-daughter relationship really touched me a lot. In fact, my relationship with my mother and I now have a daughter of my own. Since I left home and went to college after graduating from high school, I actually have very little time to live with my mother. In the past ten years, I have changed a lot. After having a child, I live under the same roof with my mother again, and all kinds of contradictions continue. I know her hard work, but there should be opinions, and she will not listen to me, let alone change herself. What we lack is to have a chance for everyone to sit together calmly and have a chat, as in the European and American people or like in the TV series, and say what's in your heart. Of course, it may not be peaceful the whole time, but at least express your feelings and thoughts. Instead of arguing as usual, and then pretending that everything didn't happen, the knots are kept in my heart and will break out one day.
As a mother, a mother with a daughter, my thoughts are, don't be a mother like my mother, don't force, don't be strict, don't point every little thing and every action. Give her enough space, many choices, and bring her through many experiences. Yes, I'm working hard, but one day when I was arguing, my husband said, you are like your mother, that's why the child will be XXX. I was really stunned when I heard this. I'm like my mom? how could be? I obviously work so hard, unlike her! Sure enough, the people closest to you know where your dead spot is, so that you can hurt the most. However, I also thought about it carefully, and many points are indeed the same, and some are even subconscious reactions. And I also know why sometimes I hate my mother, some of my shortcomings I think she inherited from me, some things I can't do well, I think she has no patience to educate me. It is true that the family of origin is to be blamed, but, when someone in their thirties, should they still blame the family of origin? My problem is that I have been used to being accused by my mother since I was a child (really to the point where every action has to be criticized, and my usual words are always rhetorical questions, even if I care about you, such as saying that it is better to dress more when it is cold, I have to say why I don’t wear thick clothes), I have a great lack of confidence and acceptance of myself, this is the root cause, when can I accept my mother, when can I accept myself, this matter can really be over. . But I don't know when it will be possible.
