A cigarette that never goes out

It is too difficult to write a long review of this play, like being thrown into a huge bubble ball pool, dimly unable to find a place to write.
So I don't plan to dig out the plot, no matter how good the description is, it is better to watch it for 20 minutes, then roll out, open a bottle of wine and pour two mouthfuls, rub the bursting abdominal muscles to sleep dimly. This is how I did it anyway.
In London in 2000, it was like a fog that couldn't disperse. On a simple street, a bookstore like old dark chocolate quietly watched the people passing by, hanging on both sides. It’s a brand of [CLOSED]. It’s not mysterious but surprisingly attractive. I wonder if I pass by here, will I feel a bit of weird tension.
Bernard was elected TOP1 of the British drama freak in my heart without any suspense. Everyone's measurement is different, but I just have a soft spot for him. The inadvertent flash of wisdom under the drooping eyelids, seemingly sloppy, but always showing a lot of unexpected charm, the poison tongue taunting skills are full of dead ends, when you are about to rise to the sky, look at this triumphant face again , Oh, what else are you talking about, let me give you ten courage, I will kiss it~
Three people must have my food, in addition to the Bernard who comes with [Unconditional Spoil You] halo, Manny little angel has also won the star eyes of countless girls , The wife’s attributes are full of tremors, and she knows how to settle accounts, manage finances, cook, and clean up. Not to mention, that good piano can be seen once and admired once, and a number of funny daily gadgets make me feel that Manny is too suitable for living, and marriage is aimed at this type. It's okay to go. To say it from the bottom of my heart, Bernard is the most fortunate to meet Manny in this life, he may fall in love with the abuse... I hope~
As the only female character in the play, Fran is like a fresh mint. He endured Bernard for so many years. He was still single after all kinds of dates. He wanted to reinvigorate and seek a beautiful and healthy life, but finally turned mad and ran into the smoke. In the embrace of wine, she felt that there was the happiest place. Fran can't be a weak and sweet British sweetheart, but she is still so cute and so straightforward. It would be a comfortable enjoyment to be friends with her. She talked about all kinds of gossip with her and then unscrupulously clapped her hands and laughed and clinked glasses. Afterwards, I turned my mouth into the air with a boring bite, and went to her shop to go shopping for some quirky gadgets...Just thinking about it, I felt that I was about to fly.
It is this seemingly messy combination, the seemingly messy mix, and the seemingly messy randomness, which makes this show evocative like a mellow dark chocolate in so many works. The subtlety is indescribable, no matter what Whether you read it for the first time or the eleventh time, you will still be deeply moved by the plot of this bookstore owner.
At the end of the final season, there is no atmosphere of farewell, and it ends briskly as usual, as if it will never end, casually just like the beginning. I think this is its greatest charm, living in your heart without a trace, burning a cigarette that will never go out.
