simple story

It's not really a great storyline. The male protagonist who is at the peak of his career suddenly declines, has no career, no love; even his sudden suicide will be interrupted by the fact that he has no father. It seems that all is not so smooth. In order to go back to his hometown for his father's funeral, he met the heroine on the plane. Look, what an old-fashioned plot, I guessed the ending when I saw the beginning. However, I was still involuntarily moved by this play.


I like girls like Claire, who are enthusiastic and straightforward, and point to people's hearts. Who doesn't want someone like this to appear when they're down, warm themselves up. Even the map she made in the end had her style. Love is earned by oneself.


My favorite scene is the funeral of the male lead's father. His mother said so much on stage, recalling how the two fell in love with each other, and recalling the attitude of the people around them after her husband passed away. When it comes to how I worked hard to get back on my feet, the kicks when I jumped up, everything can make people move.


In this small town, the relationship between people has become simple. Everyone has great kindness towards others. Let me, a person living in a reinforced concrete urban forest, feel envious. There is a hint of love in the whole play, but it is a strong warmth.
