When I watched this TV series, I felt that the whole atmosphere of this film was depressing and negative. Suicide, death, mental disorders, mental derailment, etc., make me think what such a pessimistic TV series is trying to express. I didn't understand until the end.
Olive is a junior high school teacher. From the way he dresses, it can be seen that his life is simple, clean, conservative, and he treats children and families with the same seriousness, but her affection for the driver surprised me. At home, her passion with her husband seems to have been wiped out by life, his husband runs a pharmacy, is passionate about life, kind, but in Olive's eyes nosy, they argue in front of their children, his mother In front of the child, there is a secret relationship with the driver. The adults may think that the child does not know anything, and they ignore the child's observation. A small seed has already been planted in the child's heart, and it will only germinate when it grows up. to take root.
I think Olive's life is sad, she has no enthusiasm for life, everything goes according to plan, she doesn't know how to be flexible, even though she is kind. She read the card sent by her husband and threw it in the trash; the international student was doing homework in the classroom, and the parents had something to pick up in advance, and he would not let him go; at his son's wedding, he criticized a strange child, so that the little flower girl was afraid of her She didn't dare to go; she saw her son's wife was jealous, and she stole one of her daughter-in-law's earrings and threw away her shoe; Elephant, trying to escape. Later, his son got married and divorced, and he never went home again. He saw a psychiatrist and felt that his mother had caused all of this, because his mother had spoken to him in a very difficult manner since he was a child, making the child A shadow was left in his heart. He knew the relationship between his mother and the driver. In his opinion, it was all his mother's fault. Later, when he remarried, he didn't tell his parents that his father was going to die. He just came to see him. just left.
His father loved cards, and he wanted to give cards to others on holidays. He found a young but not smart girl as a clerk. He was infected by the girl's youthful vitality. She also likes cards. He took her to his home as a guest and invited him to the house for dinner and stay when she was sad. , to accompany her through difficult times. In Olive's opinion, he was too enthusiastic and fell in love with the girl. Feeding the girl to dinner in front of his son, who exudes disgusting incomprehensible expressions.
Day by day, Olive gets older, husband loses his ability to take care of himself, he can't take care of him alone and he is sent to a nursing home, but Olive goes to deliver meals, clean and talk to him every day, although he may not be able to hear , and couldn't respond, but she went day after day, and four years passed until he went to help his son take care of his pregnant daughter-in-law. The conflict was aroused, and he understood what his son was thinking. Learned that her husband had passed away.
Olive is also lucky, he has a husband who is tolerant of him, and finally met an old companion.
"I feel lost about life, but I still don't want to die," she said.
