The heroine is a person who is unwilling to be emotionally connected with others, unwilling to rely on the help of others, and unwilling to open her heart to let others truly enter her heart. Don't dare to have deep emotional communication with people. So she clearly loves her ex-boyfriend but keeps pushing him away. (Without a father since childhood, the men she likes are all middle-aged and mature men.) Because she has been abandoned as a child by her mad mother, the guilt and haunting of her death indirectly led to her death. Therefore, her heart has always been inner self-destruction and deeper inner self-destruction. The struggle for survival. While being tortured by the guilt of childhood, he dare not face the memories of his mother, and at the same time he is giggling and living heartlessly.
The male protagonist is a dead brain and does things in a straight-forward manner. Thinking that you can control everything in your life and can't accept any reality that is out of control. In fact, it is very naive, just like many people cry and yell when they don't want to do something when they are young. He hopes to use his marriage proposal to put everything back on track, but finds that his girlfriend has already cheated. He couldn't accept the fact that his relationship with his girlfriend of nine years had deteriorated, and he showed violent tendencies. Because he cannot accept any form of change that is out of his control. Dare to face the reality, and even think that the change of people or things is their biggest "failure". (that is, the inverse quotient is too low)
In fact, these two people are the true portrayal of many people.
Some people are trapped by various karmic obstacles in the past, doing all kinds of stupid things that numb and destroy themselves, while living in a daze. I felt that something was wrong, but I let it grow, pretending that nothing happened. Unwilling to face yourself, untie the knot.
Some people always feel that they are super awesome and can control everything in life. But when things are not what he expected, he will be disappointed and angry, and he will start to attack himself and even attack others. I feel that I am an extreme failure, and I even want to become the person I really despise, or to attribute everything to others and vent it to others. In fact, these variables are not anyone’s problem, it’s just that the world is in constant motion. Accepting this change and adjusting yourself accordingly is the right way. It's hard, but it's more correct than self-destructing and destroying him.
In the play, the hero and heroine die again and again, until the fierce desire to survive deep in their hearts forces them to face up to themselves and the self that has been abused for a long time. When your world gets more and more lonely, the mirrors disappear (I think mirrors symbolize false self in the show). Only then did you see how pitiful that self was, how long those karma (glass pieces) were choked in your chest, you coughed, coughed, coughed up blood, and vomited it out in severe pain. It's an extremely painful process, but it doesn't kill you, it brings you back to life. It finally frees you. You just realized how many stupid things you've done and how stupid you've become.
When you really open your eyes and see the reality that has been ignored by your paranoid self, then you can let go of your grievances.
There are eight episodes of the show, and these eight episodes show two extremely painful processes of self-redemption. I hope we can understand something and redeem ourselves.
