"The Happiest Season" is a movie that will make mainstream audiences breathe fresh air, although the above-mentioned plot of "loving couples returning home but finding each other so strange" has been seen in countless festival movies. The main structure of "The Happiest Season" is almost a reprint of "Meet Father-in-Law". However, this time the love partner is a bit different, indeed very different.

However, it is even more sorrowful to be able to resist a different love partner like Harper but also unable to part with his parents. For most of the "Happiest Season", Harper is one of the annoying characters among all the characters. After all, she deceived her girlfriend, deceived everyone, and hypnotized herself to ignore the problem to be solved, and then infinitely Procrastination issues.
