Episode 6:
From the perspective of the heroine, this story is mainly about trauma, the trauma of losing my father in childhood. Although it's a little strange that the heroine doesn't seem to have not only a father, but also a mother in her memory? The heroine is infatuated with an older and prestigious colleague, mainly because he resembles her deceased father. However, the heroine is just looking for the lost fatherly love in him, going to the zoo together and eating cotton candy. Find him when the toilet is blocked, and find him when there is a car accident. It is really inexplicable to see that there are public accounts mentioning Electra. The heroine simply does not feel that she is in love with the uncle. So when the uncle tried to kiss her, she was startled and pushed away immediately. At this time, the uncle realized that the heroine had no idea of falling in love with him. And the uncle didn't lose his daughter, he just wanted an ordinary love relationship. The desires of the two people are completely misaligned. The heroine also thought about trying to turn the uncle into a lover instead of replacing her father in her mind, but all failed. The two lost contact, and the uncle's pain far exceeded the heroine. The general perception is that older people are more experienced and less concerned about a potential object that suddenly appears and disappears. The uncle cried in front of the heroine and decided to resign to heal himself. The heroine only cares if she will be fired. The uncle's tears once again frightened the heroine. A little bit scares me too. Just realized we have a lot of stereotypes about older people, especially men, like we almost never see them cry. And of course they might cry, too, for an inexplicable, cute and cruel little girl in her early 20s.
Episode 7:
A hippie girl roaming the United States on the streets, gave her soon-to-be-born child to a gay couple in New York for adoption. In fact, only after watching this episode did I know open adoption? It is to fully disclose who the biological mother is, and that the biological mother has the right to find adoptive parents to visit the child. More than half of the episode finally revealed why the girl became a bum. Tired of urban white-collar life in Los Angeles, I suddenly want to wander around and live a nomadic life like ancient humans. Go see this country with your own eyes. And this gay couple can actually fully understand her choice and support her in theory. But they will never wander like her, completely rebelling against what they call the alienating contemporary capitalist life. Among them, the character played by "Mo Niang" said harshly to the girl that her so-called rebellion was just a mess and did not bring any benefit to others. Eventually the girl also cried and admitted it. Both sides began to reflect on their own hypocrisy. "Mo Niang" reflects on whether she is really just a hypocritical champagne leftist. The girl reflects on whether she is unable to bring any value, and just runs away from home in a willful play. In the end, the two sides finally embraced and cried and reached a reconciliation. At the end, after witnessing the heroine's complete (refused to painless) childbirth process, "Mo Niang" began to admire her courage and tenacity as a mother.
