the couple
husband: naive, mama's baby, a giant baby who wants attention and care
wife: hesitant, not successful enough, but justify his own trash, no self-confidence in his own advantages (appearance, body), not wanting to be a trophy wife but unwilling to flexibly seize all the gifts of fate. Self-debating awkward body
the family
Nicole: strong woman, workaholic
Mark: A selfish capitalist on the one hand, a lack of self-confidence and a need for recognition on the other hand, a moment of extreme happiness, a moment of extreme sadness
Olivia: I like to find friends as foils, I don’t want others to have more than me, and I have a strong desire to control and compete (but they are all based on diminishing others, and I am also very selfish, never considering other people’s feelings)
Quinn: unstable values, impulsive (going to the beach to sleep), irrational, extreme (like to use threats to his family to get "sugar" to eat - he won't live if his mother doesn't buy him a mobile phone, he won't go boating if he doesn't dead)
Paula: sensitive, unwilling, ungrateful, take everything for granted, realistic
the woman
Tanya: Vulnerable, crazy, sometimes calm and weak, sometimes emotional, seemingly generous to others but indifferent (and forgets it immediately after having a new love)
the hotel staff
Hotel lobby manager: very professional, quick to know people but bad-hearted, low emotional intelligence, strong revenge, hypocritical, stingy, is an out-and-out trouble maker
Masseuse: (I left a lot of blanks in fact) Mature, steady, experienced (a good salesman), and know how to step by step (I didn’t act very overly when I got tips, and I didn’t feel ecstasy when I got Tanya’s real seed money, but slowly Offer, slowly test other people's bottom line and whether you can go further), you can also be indifferent (to the vase heroine's inexplicable appeal to comfort walk away)
I like such a straightforward script. There are no dramatic plots or lines, but the roles of the rich, the poor, and the middleman are clearly explained.
