I am sad to see.
In an age when homosexuality was still a crime, a powerful man took care of a young boy and then abandoned him. The little boy exposed the politicians in order to survive. For the sake of their career, politicians try to erase this love history, including the disappearance of the little boy. In the end, it was also because of the struggle for rights that this matter was put before the public, and there was a public trial. innocent. The mountains and rivers have not met since then.
That's what the main story is. The highlights are on the auxiliary line and on the embellishment. For example: a far-sighted and powerful politician actually used Bunnies in his personal letter; a rising star in the fashion industry finally had nowhere to go because of alcohol and drugs; copy passed the order of killing layer by layer without distortion, and finally found a three-legged cat killer; and so on. At the end of the first episode, I thought that all the dramas in all the bridges and scenes were finished, hehe, I didn't expect that there would be two full episodes of dramas later.
I feel bad because my intellect and emotions are in conflict while watching the show. At the trial, I leaned emotionally toward the politician, hoped for his acquittal, and watched the little boy shine, and I looked sideways. But reason tells me that politicians should be punished and that homosexuality is not a sin. The little boy is the underdog in this story, but I just can't love it. He has always emphasized that because there is no social security card, life cannot continue. But he obviously had a chance, he is a successful model, no one cares about his past, he just needs to do the job well, and he can live a good life, but the chance is screwed up by himself. This has nothing to do with politicians. Why should he blame others for ruining his life, and why should he question the public why he is invisible. All he can ask for is that politicians should acknowledge their former love relationship. All other claims are robbery.
In the end, the little boy got the attention he wanted, and the politicians justly ruined their careers. Although he still did not have a social security card in the end, he still lived well. So, the social security card is not the point at all.
Another reason I hate politicians is that he is also a victim of society's repression of homosexuality. Power made him feel at the top of the food chain, especially when facing little boys, but unfortunately from his recollection, it was not so smooth every time, and he was beaten, cheated and spurned. Even if this is not a reason for him to be a scumbag, he is still a weakling under the system. He was wrong, so his scum cost him his career.
Observing the supporting characters, it is not difficult to find that the two protagonists are surrounded by people who love them, help them, and betray them. rather than a one-sided supporting role. This makes the play three-dimensional, rendering them all ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses.
In conclusion, this is not a scandal, it is history.
