It's not a good story at all.
I haven't read the original work, but from the perspective of the TV series, this is an extremely chaotic and fragmented TV series, without a clear theme, and even the main plots are contradictory.
The creators have not figured out what they want to express at all. Is it a contradiction in the educational philosophy of mothers between different cultures and different races? Or is it a contradiction between mother and child? Or is it a contradiction between families of different races? Or is it a contradiction between society and race? Or is it the contradiction between the integration of the Baiyun community and the black residents?
Because the theme is not clear, the plot is extremely fragmented and scattered. Did not put a good steel blade on it. The first half of the plot looks very long and protracted. Sensory makes people feel that the irrigation is serious. Forcibly lengthen the duration. A lot of boring trivia. People don't know the so-called.
If the plot is streamlined and the theme is clear. Focus on conflicts and delete a lot of boring trivia. You can even delete minor characters that don’t matter. It's the story between a wealthy white mother, Irina, with a rebellious daughter, and a black daughter with a black artist's mother. Concentrate all the story lines in 2~3 episodes, and finish it in the beginning and the end of the collection. This may be a wonderful drama.
More importantly, boring trivial matters are not the foundation and background of the main plot, they are just watering. This greatly reduces the quality and perception of the overall TV series.
There are also problems with the values of the entire TV series.
Being gay and being an artist does not mean that you can do whatever you want. Your freedom cannot be based on the suffering of others. Must comply with social norms and moral constraints.
Not everything can give up the trump card of racial discrimination. Double standards cannot be applied to people and things.
Mia Cha is a double standard party. Whatever is good for him is okay, and ignores what is not good for him. And it rises to racial discrimination at every turn.
Presumably, Mia has never seen real racial discrimination, and I don’t understand what racial discrimination means!
She kindly provided him with housing and work, provided support for life, and helped her children enroll in school. But she was regarded as racial discrimination!
The crime of lying by others is unforgivable. If you lie yourself, it becomes a fate. This double standard is really fun 666!
Jelena did not slander or slander Mia. Just tell the facts. Mia hated Elena for a long time, and set the picture of Elena on fire early. Which of the two is more extreme?
What is even more disgusting is that Mia decided not to be the family manager. He didn't leave as proud and unrestrained as he always showed, on the contrary, he broke into other people's rooms illegally and stole other people's things. Stealing is stealing, why didn't she say what she did illegally?
Furthermore, the weakening of the background of the times and the social system. Lead to confusion about key events.
The US immigration policy should still be very strict in the 1980s. Once the status of illegal immigrants is exposed and verified, they will inevitably be deported. Why is it in the TV series? The immigration bureau does not seem to exist.
Illegal immigrants can go on TV with a big fanfare to fight lawsuits without being deported?
Isn’t the best way to resolve this matter to report it to the Immigration Bureau? The repatriation of Zhou Beibi, who Huang Lu played, was not honourable, but legal.
Finally, talk about the bear kids, especially Isabel.
I don't understand at all where Isabel's resentment towards her mother comes from. What did her mother do to sorry her, which caused him to treat his mother like an enemy?
On the contrary, the parents were tolerant to her time and time again, tolerant and caring for him. Even paid more care, time and energy than other children!
Her expenditure in the symphony orchestra is the sum of the other three children. But when Isabel achieved a little bit of success, his mother took the whole family to support him, facing major events in life, but it was so trifling. Just dissatisfied with my mother. Just wrote "I'm not a doll" on my head, and completely gave up acting.
Isabel, the bear child, is completely committed to death. Eventually lead to the anger of the mother.
The biggest reversal and highlight of the whole play turned out to be the anti-water of the three bear children.
Only the black mother took her daughter away. The three bear kids suddenly decided to set their homes on fire. What is the logic?
The black mother left with her daughter coolly, basically not suffering any loss, but leaving a piece of chicken feathers! It's a bird feather in the iron cage! Make a mess of the white family. The house was destroyed, and the youngest daughter ran away from home. The other three children are also eccentric. Becoming potential arsonists, the couple is on the verge of divorce.
After watching it, I actually felt this way. The whole drama is ultimately to educate us-"Don't send love indiscriminately"! !
