First, as a crime suspense drama. In a mysterious murder case, the wife did not discover that the husband had an affair with the victim. As the police investigated and the evidence continued to emerge, the husband was convicted and tried to abscond. Second, it is a myth of modern marriage. As a psychologist, the wife thinks she knows the people around her and she thinks she has a happy marriage. But she has no knowledge of her husband's deep personality beneath the surface, and the fourteen years of living together have turned into a huge lie overnight. This is not a simple derailment and betrayal, but a subversion of the entire outlook on life and self-self People who thought they were familiar and sure, and the life fortress that they thought was indestructible, were finally completely overthrown. This is a satire on modern people's contentment with appearances and external material life. Third, it's a drama about how painstakingly one can manage oneself. The doctor's husband is erudite, humorous, caring, and he is also a good father. But who can see that he is essentially a person who cannot empathize and is extremely narcissistic. The self that he manages, whether in marriage or in the workplace, is praised by others. He has successfully shaped the "self" in the floating world. He quietly hides behind that "self" and enjoys the love and admiration of others for him, as if it were His nourishment, the soil in which he is rooted in "self", but that is not him, just a mask. This kind of person who is born unable to empathize with people and things belongs to a kind of mental illness. If it weren't for a sudden passionate murder, he could hide behind a mask like this all his life. But the power of nature is that it will always show up, here and there, showing traces.
