The first woman, simply dependent, played a supporting role in planning the future at the beginning of his career, satisfying his desire to be in control of everything.
The second woman, bright and sophisticated, has become famous in Vanity Fair, who can resist and completely satisfy her vanity. After a severe pain, he finally understood that it was poisonous, highly poisonous, and he didn't dare to touch it again, so he just skipped it.
The third woman, wise and independent, has no status, although he knows in his heart that it is very comfortable and warm to be with her, and he knows that it is the feeling of his heart. But he was blinded by worldly desires. Values ​​made him look down on her, so that he has always used it as a backup, and only confessed to her when he was lost. I admire her wisdom very much. She understands her place in his heart, so she doesn't accept this cheap and helpless love that seems to be hugging together for warmth. She understands that the love obtained in this way is not destined to last long.

In the years that followed, they both grew. April re-planned his life path and stopped living it casually, while the hero was trapped in his irrational desires and swallowed the bitter fruit.

Fortunately, the male protagonist was finally awakened by his daughter, and fortunately, he dared to face his heart, thought about this problem calmly, and finally summoned up the courage to face April again. How fortunate it is to find true love.

The film uses the three women experienced by the protagonist to express the entanglement of men's desires. In reality, there are probably more than three women who wake up a man. Some are persistent and can't wake up with their own opinions for several lifetimes. Some experience two or three women who can understand what the real happiness of marriage is.

And marriage, only when you understand and identify the right person and marry him, will it have the meaning it should have. Otherwise everything is the beginning of trouble and disaster.

Although this film is about men, the reverse also applies, because people have something in common when it comes to desires.
