About Butterfly

In fact, through the butterfly, we can see the difference between the characters and values ​​of the male and female protagonists.

The male protagonist has been avoiding butterflies for many years. He lied to himself that he kept moving because of his "brother's fear". In fact, it was the fear buried deep in his heart.

And the heroine killed that butterfly when she was very young, with determination and ruthlessness.

If the butterfly is regarded as something that everyone is unwilling to face in life, then the female protagonist chooses to fight head-on, while the male protagonist chooses to escape reality.

Who doesn't have so many things in their life they don't want to face?

Therefore, you and I are both male protagonists, and only a few brave people will become female protagonists.

About mental illness

Art comes from life, and is higher than life. When people watch TV series, they often separate the TV series from themselves, and cannot reflect on themselves through the core embodied in the TV series.

Rather than saying that the show is writing a "psychotic" story, I am more inclined to understand it as the sublimation of art. Everyone has something to fear, but we don't have the ups and downs of the show. The "psychotics" in the play are just the carriers of reality, which are sublimated as typical in art. In fact, everyone may find their own shadow from them.

About "The Hypocrite" (Episode 3)

The male protagonist always thinks that he is very good to his brother, but in fact he doesn't know him at all. He is not really kind, he is just kidnapped by social morality and numbly thinks he should do it, but never thinks about why he should do it or how to do it. In the play, when my brother talked about buying an RV, there was a flash of the female protagonist saying that the male protagonist was a "hypocrite". Come to think of it, this is the male protagonist who really understands the meaning of this remark.

At the end of the third episode, the heroine took the "official second generation" who was suffering from mania for a ride, and went to the scene of her father's election canvassing to "smash the field" so that everyone could see herself. This paragraph is in stark contrast to the "treatment" in the previous mental hospital. The heroine has always understood what mentally ill people really want. A heart disease requires a doctor, and a person who solves the bell has to be the bell. Perhaps, this is the real kindness, understanding and tolerance, not isolation and suppression.

Also, the male lead's acting is really good. The final paragraph can clearly see the understanding and thinking in the eyes.

And the soundtrack to this show is really good.
