a living screen
Too many TV shows these days try to evoke our emotions: excitement, fear, surprise, nausea, desire, but only on a whim, or if you're just bored.
Then, the most essential part of a work is not just to arouse the audience's emotions or to pursue resonance, but to remove these emotions, techniques, and structures, what is the actual content of the work itself?
Expose the essence of life - our life, what is left in the end? What about the lives of our parents? Who is the most important person in our life? How much does our childhood influence our adult life? What does true love look like? Does this touching old-school love seem to be able to reproduce in today's world?
There are many details in life that those who can see have turned a blind eye, let alone those unspeakable secrets. Fortunately, the artist's intuition allows us to approach, search for the hidden light and shadow, and show you "our life".

Could it be more dramatic? Her twin brother, Kevin, is a "Labrador" man. His perfect appearance and figure made him easily attract attention since he was a child.

What he has always wanted to play is a dramatic character, so as to enter the real art. He wants to have love, and the desire that comes from love. He has never forgotten that although he is easily liked by others, his mother's preference does not point to him.
The mother gave special love to Randall, the third adopted black child who was "lost and found". Although the mother tried to give equal love to the three children, it was because of human nature that what she expected and feared most in her heart was Randall's love and love. estranged.

However, no one is completely perfect, what is missing in his heart?
The most important and central characters in the whole article are the two fathers. Randall's biological father, William, and his adoptive father, Jack. In this work, the souls of these two fathers run through the soul of the show-Jack's warmth and tenacity, and William's talent and wisdom. Even though both fathers are gone, Randall is passing it on.

A card, that card was bought directly from the store, without any extra words written on it. I am here to tell you today: I am resigning.
