Seeing monsters is a common problem of Xitai's father and Huayi since childhood, it confirms an apparent emotional line. Xitai's father's education, living environment, and his personality made him a child with strong vanity. He was always seeing monsters at night, and he was afraid and trembling. He told this to the son of the dean of the nursery, and he tried to remove the filth from Sitai's soul by teaching him to repent of his heart. But how is it possible, Xitai is not a pure and noble person, he can only eliminate the monster in his heart through his own evildoing. When you become that monster, the monster can disappear.
What accompanied Hua Yi was the nightmarish experience of being kidnapped and the hardships of growing up later. That monster bears the shadow of his growth: the shiny toys above the crib when he was a child, the branches of Huayi wood... Huayi is a normal child, he inherited his mother's artistic talent, and also has a kind human nature. He could have grown up as carefree as an ordinary child, but the sudden kidnapping changed everything. The fear in his heart filled the little heart of the child. He was afraid of all this, but surrendered to it all. And when he realized that the devil who rushed out of his heart was about to become a monster stronger than it, the tragedy of the five "dads" began.
Sitai's father is a tragic figure. He was mentally tortured, and he found a way out if he failed to get rid of it, destroying his seemingly beautiful things, and getting satisfaction from it. He had always blindly thought that Hua Yi was his biological son, just because of that one victory. He loves Huayi and treats him as his own son. But his love is cruel. He feels that Hua Yi, like himself, needs to live his life. He can make a way out for people who have nothing to do with him, but as long as he loves, he must love in his way: the tortured love. To Huayi, to his wife, and even to Huayi's biological mother.
A prequel might be even better, because we're too curious about the stories behind each character, but have no way of checking. Three points for the story and one point for the actor's performance, production and publicity. Uncle Jin, don't act too hard. You work hard, and so do we.
