"Hypothesis, all souls are on a quest to connect. Corollary, our minds have no awareness of this quest."

The most movie-like TV series I have ever watched, ranging from wide-screen to editing techniques to plots containing science fiction, bloody violence, humor, family affection, and love.

The whole story frame is that the male and female leaders participated in a drug experiment together, took three drugs in three steps, and finally got together. Three kinds of medicine: A medicine, the diagnosis stage, through microwave action on the experimenter to let people review the worst period they have experienced; B medicine, behavioral medicine, based on the A medicine, manufactured by the smart computer (the GRTA) Scenario analysis shows the experimenter's self-defense mechanism and blind spots, allowing the experimenter to better understand themselves; C drug, counter-drug, through the computer design of the experimenter's physiological disease treatment scenarios.

In other words, the whole drama is divided into four parts: reality and the dreaming period of taking medicines A, B, and C. Medicine A is in episodes 2 and 3, medicine B is at the end of episode 3 and episodes 4 and 5. There are two dreams. The male and female protagonists are a couple who robbed monkeys and a couple who stole and protected "Don Quixote". ;C medicine in episodes 7, 8, and 9, the heroine puts down his sister, and the hero understands the "importance" of his family to him and the importance of the heroine to himself.

The main trauma of the heroine is the mother's leaving without saying goodbye and the death of her sister because of herself. The post-diagnosis was borderline personality tendency, pathological grief, traumatic death and loss, self-loathing, suicidal tendency, and a huge gap with her mother. Pretending is her strength. The male protagonist is the family's incomprehension and ridicule of him, and asks him to perjury his brother who sexually harassed (also seems to be a qiang rape) female colleague. He even gave money to the male protagonist’s first love to spend his life with the male protagonist. The male protagonist began to have schizophrenia ten years ago and he had a better brother. Later, the computer analyzed that he had signs of paranoid schizophrenia, delusional to construct an identity "Grimson", and continued timidity.

After experiencing several different types of dreams, the male and female leaders succeeded in being together. In addition to the love of the male and female protagonists, this drama also wrote about the love between the smart computer and the dead doctor, as well as the love between a Japanese woman and a later research doctor. (I look forward to analyzing the different characters played by the male and female protagonists during the BC drug period) His unique charm is that there is a connection between everything, and they appear in different stories of the male and female protagonists. The screenwriter's "context echo" or "foregrounding" writing technique is very flexible. I am pleasantly surprised when there are many connections.
