The old man is still gentle

Recently, the old man has written and directed a lot of women's plays, and I don't know where the preference came from. The core is all about the same sharp human nature. Unwilling to be mediocre, the soul pursues a romantic and exciting life, but unfortunately is hit by reality again and again. Lovers fall in love with younger stepdaughters, and younger sons keep setting fires outside. Wishful thinking of life in the dark and bright, and finally put on work clothes and put up with her husband's barometer-like emotions.

Like the lifeguard said, the protagonist will be dragged into a tragic ending by his own character flaws. The warmth is that the old man attributes the tragedy to fate (I guess), and does not blame the characters themselves. However, it seems that from the tragic ending of the heroine, since fate will be reincarnated over and over again, and the same mistakes will be made repeatedly, people are indeed responsible for their own short memory. However, it is easier said than done to restrain one's selfishness, greed, and vanity.

What also makes me curious and imaginative is the old man's view of his marriage experience. At the end of these many unfinished old and young romances, the protagonists have returned to their lovers who are similar in age and experience. This is the fate arranged by the old man as a screenwriter.
