Do sexual partners and life partners have to be the same person? This is what came to my mind after watching the show.
People want sex to be wild, exciting, and gratifying. Achieving this often requires challenging the rules. This requires that sexual partners need excellent sexual skills and sexual routines. Their personalities tend to ignore and challenge the rules and are not "honest people".
At the same time, people want their daily life to be stable, peaceful and warm. This requires partners to be loyal, respectful of tradition and have demands on their own morals. Their character tends to be to respect the rules and uphold them.
This makes it difficult for a person to satisfy both a sexual partner and a life partner at the same time. In the play, music producer Ryder is the heroine's sexual partner, and bank investor Cooper is the heroine's life partner. The heroine is therefore faced with a choice.
The first solution the heroine and her husband find at the end of the sixth episode is to make Cooper a wild and stable complex. but failed. The second solution found in episode 8 was to have a relationship with both Ryder and Cooper, who were in charge of different aspects.
Both solutions work in some way, but the show's way of doing it is not. In the first solution, the heroine's resistance and the swiftness of her husband Cooper's acceptance are sudden and uncharacteristic. In the second solution, the heroine ignores her husband's mood, uses a deliberate "female independent" way of thinking to find her ex Ryder, and orders her to be in a relationship with both of them in a notification-like tone. Not only does this turn too abruptly like the first method, but it is also a misreading of "women's independence", because it is disrespectful to the husband to make decisions without consulting the husband. An unconvincing error in both narrative and thought expression.
All in all, this show can give 3/5. Because of the delicacy of serving the Tao, acting skills and feelings, it has always beaten a lot of domestic dramas. In addition, this drama observes the problems existing in the current society and tries to explore it, giving the audience thinking and inspiration, and it is a work worth spending time watching. But it still lacks polishing in specific narrative and thinking.
PS Sex partners don't choose Ryder, he has been the PUA heroine.
