All of this only makes sense in new york city. The stories inside are not so "real", but the feelings and reactions of the people inside are so real. Obviously a lot of the stories have the color of artistic processing, but you still can't help empathizing with the characters in it (btw I cried happy tears in the first two episodes and the last episode though)
Actually the whole screenwriting and filming is very New York times/ romcom-y, but you still can't help romanizing life in New York. I absolutely LOVE the last scene where every episode is pieced together, and that's the thing in New York : every passerby has their own story if you just stop and talk to them. I had this feeling when the female reporter in the second episode was talking to the entrepreneur: they were just talking to each other on a park bench on a bright morning The love that each other missed, passers-by will not know how moving their stories are, but passers-by are not rushing to the greatest love story of their lives. After the story is told, the entrepreneur and the female reporter hug and say goodbye, and go on their days like every new yorkers do.
In the end, I'm really enjoying the various forms of love in this show. Whether it is love in the traditional sense, or love that is concerned by people who are not related by blood, love for a couple to solve problems in their lives together, love for children, love that can face up to their own problems and save themselves. it truly is MODERN love
In the end, I so want to live in new york!!! not just for the potential encounters and stories, but also knowing that Modern Love is happening right around me
