Going around just to find myself

I remember that the first time I watched Looking was on the eve of the Spring Festival two years ago. Most of the people in the company had left. I stayed and watched the last shift. There was nothing to do. With a curious mind, I watched the first two episodes of Looking. Each episode is not long, no more than 30 minutes, bland but true. Several protagonists have their own characteristics and different futures, but they get together as good friends and are interspersed in each other's stories. Looking's overall style is very small and fresh, diluting the usual theme of equal rights in gay themes, and paying more attention to the story of emotion and growth, which is why the story is more and more fascinating, and it is easy to follow from the beginning to the end.

In the first two seasons, the protagonist has been looking for the other half, but he is always unsatisfied, and the final chapter shows us that the essence of finding love is actually finding ourselves and finding the courage to face the future. That's why Patrick finally chose to have a try with Richie. He once experienced the frustration of being confessed by Richie after having a relationship with Kevin, and then lay down and watched Golden Girls with Augustine and listened to Patrick of Thank You for Being a Friend. He was also unable to believe that he could maintain a dedicated relationship with Kevin. Run to find the Simple Man with Richie's haircut instead.

In the last episode, although Kevin appeared for less than 10 minutes, he was the core of the whole episode. The theme of the first half, closing the chapter, encouraged Patrick to find Kevin and make a conclusion. After meeting Kevin, Patrick really grew from talking with him, and the theme turned to have a try. Therefore, Kevin, who played less time and concentrated, became the turning point of the whole episode. Of course, he also became a key point in Patrick's relationship and growth. Even if there is only one appearance, it can't hide the importance of this character to the whole episode, and even the whole drama.

Different flowers have their own eyes, despite the difference in appearance and status of Kevin and Richie, when watching the show, people always feel: Compared with Richie, the spark between Patrick and Kevin is more dazzling, and the chemical reaction of interaction is more intense. It is also the foothold of the PK party. So the last episode, regardless of whether it's blond or fat, or acting, is trying to weaken PK's chemistry. On the other hand, this episode released a lot of PR interaction and eye contact. These are all paving the way for the ending. If PR's own spark can be stronger, or Richie's cast is stronger, then these foreshadowings may be omitted. . .

In fact, Patrick has been ready in 9 months. After experiencing Richie and Kevin, he isolated himself from love during this time. He stopped talking about love and went to enjoy sex. The obstacles in the sexual relationship were also are no longer a problem. Meeting Kevin let him know the meaning of try, and talking with the host (don't know what to say about the profession of the woman who never married...), and found that adapt is more practical than change. At this point, as long as you meet the right person, starting a relationship is no longer a problem for Patrick. And then, he met Richie.

So the story ends here, at the right time, at the right place, meeting the right people, and starting a new journey. Of course, this is when you are ready.

And that fits with the theme of The end is a new beginning. Looking to the end is another new starting point. It is not that there is no found, but there are more things to look ahead of us.
