Feelings that have nothing to do with the show itself

I don't know how to write a drama review, and after watching it for a long time, I don't remember any details.

I took it out two days ago and watched a few episodes in the second season, and found that I still couldn't bear to watch the development of the later plot. I didn't really feel that way about that bad ending, anyway, I always thought that Ted loved Robin, and it's okay to continue the relationship after my mother died many years later. As for Barney, although he loves him dearly, he doesn't love him that much since he and Robin are together. Growing up for your lover and losing your most dazzling yet character is a step away.

I can't remember the details of the plot, but I remember how I felt when I spent lunch time drawing pictures several times in the past few months, and I also remember the feeling of finishing Friends like this frantically. The two dramas always seem to be compared, but I haven't thought about it, probably because the mood is different when I watch the drama. Because they were all finished in just a few months, the process of brushing the drama almost condensed everything that was experienced at that time. When I was reading Friends, I graduated from college. I was confused but stupid and full of hope. I felt that a great life was unfolding before my eyes. When I was reading My Mom, I felt extremely lonely even though I lived in a house full of people. Where is hope. So now when I look at it again, I feel relaxed and happy when I read Friends, but I always feel sad when I look at Mom.

What's more, every episode of Friends seems to be a different village, and in Finding Mom, it seems that Ted will say the last big truth at the end of each episode. When you are careless, you may be mourning today, but in the end everything will just turn out fine. But where does this end up? From the beginning of the first episode, to the end when he and Robin are finally together, it has been more than 20 years, right? What about everything during this period? Is it all about being with Mom or eventually with Robin?

This drama is undoubtedly warm, but it is also cruel. For example, all the protagonists except Barney have all resigned and changed jobs to find a job. Among them, there is pride and self-disgust. Friends also wrote about the struggles of the protagonists, but I didn't think it was cruel at the time; when I was looking for my mother, I was struggling with finding a job. It seemed like Marshall was struggling to realize his ideal or go to a corporation to support his family, so I can't see the warmth, I just feel very uncomfortable and powerless.

Of course, it seems that the mood at that time has passed for a long time, and I can only remember it when I watch the drama, so it is no longer so sentimental. It's just that there are fewer and fewer friends around me now, and it's rare to see friends who recommended good dramas to me back then. When we grow up, we always have to bear our own lives. In reality, close friends may not be there for you. I'm afraid that no matter how young and frivolous, in the end, like Barney, the edges and corners will be rubbed off and gradually become less cute.

Finally, I wanted to vomit and endure the groove for so many seasons: Ted, you are an architect, how do you have time to go clubbing every day without dark circles the next day? Can you really eat sandwiches in your bedroom without drawing or making models while you are reading? Do you really do not use CAD all by hand? And why is it so easy for you to be an architecture professor?

    Barney: We're building an igloo in Central Park! It's going to be legendary! Snow-suit up!

  • Marshall: I think we're going to wait on the baby thing. I mean I love babies. Babies rule. Pudgy arms and stuff. But, uh, they make you old. Kinda like this anchor weighing you down to one spot... forever.
