I feel that this show wants to express a lot of things, race, gender, class: the contradiction between whites and ethnic minorities, the "lost" of traditional men (wife can earn more money than me, I feel that my male status is not confirmed) , how hypocritical the left-wing stance remains on the lips (elder daughter), the contradiction between heterosexual-dominated patriarchal family and homosexuality, confusion and entanglement over sexual orientation (younger son and hotel manager), men and women in marriage The contradiction caused by the unequal economic strength, the influence of the original family on the adult children's view of marriage and love (the role of Sophie). But now (after the fifth episode), it seems that I see a wide variety of issues, but I don't see what the point of view is. I don't know where the sixth episode is going. Rotten! ! ! At the beginning, he was pretending to be mysterious, thinking that it was his lost lover, but what did he do at the end, the manager died unexpectedly. In the end, it feels like all people of color are having a bad time. The masseuse still didn't open his own shop, Kai was arrested, and he couldn't fight for his own land. The rich girl's friend said that she had screwed up everything. what does this mean? Will rich white people eventually rule the world?
The Husky was worried that the second generation of rich might also kill himself when he was angry, so did he choose to stay with him? The rich couple finally regained their masculinity because the man saved the beauty when the thief broke in, and the two regained their passion? Sophie's line is really superfluous. What influence did her mother have on her? Clingy and insecure? In the end, because of the chicken soup for the soul of the p friend (death will always come, you must live in the moment) freed? The stupid and rich landlord's son finally chose to stay on the island to paddle? Is this an escape from the evil capitalist society? How can there be a peach blossom garden in this world that is not corrupted by money?
The director looked as if the shop was quite large, and he wanted to talk about a lot of things, but he didn't make it clear in the end.
