The story revolves around an old case of more than 40 years, involving the pessimism of many families. Will time erase the mistakes that have been made? "For more than 40 years, I have been waiting for the moment when the door is knocked"... Before the trial of the law comes, everyone involved has already drawn a prison in their own lies.
Continue to cover up, or openly surrender? Can lovers still accept themselves after they know their past secrets?
The angle of this drama is very pertinent. Compared with the previous popular "Innocent Best", there is no contest and pull between the pros and cons, and there is no such thing as a happy ending to bring down the big devil. Even the method of solving the case is to conduct interviews one by one, take notes, and check communication records in a lawful manner. .
The truth is wrapped in lies and betrayal, making people wonder - how many unbearable secrets are there? ! But at the same time, we can also see that there is still love and responsibility in the darkest part of life.
I really liked the last illegitimate daughter's sentence "Father blames himself for the mistakes he made, and in order to protect her children at the same time, he chose to live in lies and suffer... I hope that one day in the future, you will be willing to forgive him. The reason why this drama moved me is because all the forgiveness, surrender, confession in it... are not defeated because of being forced into a corner by the so-called just trial, but a sober "self-choice", If you choose to confess, so do you choose to forgive.
How precious is such a calm and objective perspective in this era of labelling and cheering for different camps at every turn. To make it clear, the fault will not disappear with the passage of time, it will only become more and more difficult to repay.
The existence of the law is not only used to convict, but also a deterrent. The crime has already been committed, and 40 years later, punishing the wicked who are so old that they lose their ability to live will not be able to restore the life-long trauma of the victim's family. Therefore, such a deterrent force, we prefer to see it exist in human nature first, before judgment, before evil.
