Actually, speaking as someone who is over 40, I'd say it's easier to deal with relationships ending when you're older compared to when you're younger. I remember a break up in my early twenties and I thought it was the end of my world and that I'd never recover. Now, I look back and laugh at myself for being so foolish. You're much more capable at handling such things when you're older and more experienced in life. It doesn't hit quite so hard because you know you'll get through it and come out the other side. It is different when you're older.

2024-08-17 04:11:57 +0000 UTCI can forgive the mom a little but not 3 years worth. I get that she was grieving the loss of her "ideal son" all of his former life and in denial about the change in his circumstances. She was probably feeling guilty that his hearing loss was somehow her fault or didn't want to accept that life had changed. BUT 3 years of denial is just selfish. Even if you have a social status where you don't want to accept change or worry about what other people will think, you get over that shit for the sake of your child and their well being (unless you are a total self absorbed monster). At least seeing her genuine realization made her self reflect instead of lashing out at others. I love Li Ming and Heart so much in this show. Honestly the entire series is wonderfully written with flaws and believable scenarios. When you said earlier in prior episodes that it felt like an independent movie, I felt that too. It is beautifully shot and isn't afraid to let moments breathe, lingering on gazes or quiet scenes longer than commercial shows would be comfortable doing. It reminds me a lot of I Told Sunset About You in that way.

2024-08-17 02:41:33 +0000 UTC100% agree. I really dislike when characters are just one dimensional and only there be a villain. I don't dislike Alan at all cause he's acting like anyone would really and it makes him human. And I just wanna give Heart a hug and tell him it's going to be okay while I go and slap his parents. π€

2024-08-17 02:25:09 +0000 UTCSomething I love about this show is the characterizations of Alan and Wen. I feel like typically your protagonist is the 'good guy' with the 'crazy, terrible ex'. But this show humanizes Alan and actually has Wen be the one who needed to work things out to properly end the relationship. It does a great job of making the audience see both sides and feel bad for both of them. It's a sad situation, rather than someone-did-something-terrible kinda situation. I agree, Heart's parents not being able to communicate with him is terrible. Not only were the notes on Heart's wall, but we also see a keyboard on his desk in that scene. It's sad to think that he may have been a musician before he went deaf and still keeps his keyboard around.

2024-08-17 01:59:56 +0000 UTCI think he meant that it's harder to bounce back from a failed relationship when you're older. People become more cynical, it's harder to put yourself out there again, and you become more cautious with each painful breakup. When you're in your 20s the world still feels full of possibilities for many people. But, honestly it's very individual---based more on personality than age, in my opinion. I just think that is what they were possibly meaning in the episode. It's kind of why Jim is hung up on being "old" in the series.
