I haven't tried to finish a drama so heartily in a long time. I have to praise Why Women Kill for the first episode. A mansion, four emotional murder stories; applying this not new narrative framework, but very skillfully expressing the huge amount of information in a smooth cut mirror. "Is this the first episode?" As the flashbacks unfold layer by layer, complex human nature gradually emerges - I especially like that each character is three-dimensional, and even if it is close to feminism and minority, it also has a very delicate narrative.
Take the most hated Eli as an example:
He appreciates the intellectual light shining on the other half of Taylor, recognizes her admiration and desire for the same sex in her nature, and is willing to adjust his view of marriage and try an open marriage.
He could accept that Taylor's "date" Jade would live in their house to avoid her vicious ex-boyfriend, even if Taylor had concealed that she and Jade had been in a relationship for half a year and were likely to become lovers (although there were also Jade beauty attraction factor haha).
When Jade was afraid that if he stayed at their house, he would be reluctant to leave, and Taylor couldn't decide whether to keep Jade or not, it was he who knocked down the hammer and said the warm words that the three of them were a family.
He was also a small gifted playwright himself.
But 85% of Eli's appearances can easily make me burn with rage =. =
For example, Jade and Taylor only liked each other at first, but Eli just got involved in the two activities such as the two of them soaking in the pool and dancing together, and also asked Taylor to invite Jade to play a "threesome". What a shameless stinky man.
Addicts have no self-control, are sensitive to being unable to write good scripts, feel inferior and pity their bluffs, regard bad words as pointing fingers at their own lives, and ignore the hardships they have brought to their partners. These seem to have become well-understood (unacceptable) human nature.
And the favorite is Beth, which may have the advantage of the times.
In Beth's era, women were willing and only able to be housewives, and men's expectations of their wives only stayed at the family level. Therefore, there will be countless "betrayals". As a man, a young and beautiful affair object can satisfy his physical desires, while a qualified wife provides a warm family to meet social expectations.
In Beth's time, women were all dodders and couldn't live independently. The dream of becoming a pianist is subservient to a housewife; suffering from vicious domestic violence can only be swallowed up.
But in these times, Beth meets April, a new independent woman who is determined to realize her singing dream. She played the beautiful piano music again, put on ice skates and gliding, and gradually found her own happiness. At the same time, Beth found out that her husband was cheating, and knew that she was just a substitute for her husband as a "wife" role player. Even her daughter's death was caused by her husband's cheating, but she deliberately framed it as her mistake. The reversal of - planning and executing her husband's death plan.
