When I first went to college a few years ago, I tried to watch this drama, but I didn't stick to it. Of course, even if I watched it with my understanding at the time, I just skipped it. I don't know what time has brought me, but I can feel some changes in myself over the years. People always carry their own limitations, stick to their own accustomed concepts, and are unwilling to change. They always get to know themselves gradually after they have fallen too hard and lost some important things. Just like the heroine Olive, who has experienced the loss of her husband, the conflict between her son and herself, wants to end herself but has a little nostalgia for life, she is so real, so ordinary, so moving, we can see it everywhere in life. People, when we meet, may also laugh at her with contempt. This drama truly shows the life of such a person, griefs, mourns, and understands the experience of their lives.
I just experienced the death of my grandfather a few days ago, and it feels a little unreal to experience the sudden departure of the first person who is closely connected with my life. He didn't know much about his previous life, and some of the things that happened to him disappeared into the wind forever. Many things in the past also disappeared forever with the passing of grandpa. Now the new home, new life, the smell of the old home, the grievances, the experience, with the former self, drifting to the unknown place. There is no going back to the past life, only memories are left. Remember how precious it is.
Life is hard, and it's easy to get yourself into a very sad mood. However, we can all be deeply moved when we see that Olive gave up suicide and re-entered the arms of life, because there are so many things in life worth nostalgic, not only people, all kinds of beauty are everywhere, music is everywhere. , flowers, food, fallen leaves... The photography of this drama will be very moving.
It's a very personal feeling, and what this show brings me is an emotional outlet. I know that the depressed mood will come back, understand it, accept it, digest it, and re-engage in the arms of life.
