modern people still need love?
In this grotesque era, love seems to be the least valuable thing.
Even the little pomegranate with very few emotional experiences, I have broken my heart for countless times:
"I don't believe in love anymore!"
But no matter how you admire the ease of being single, at certain moments, I still think "sweet" The esoteric question of why sweet love hasn't been my turn.
More than ten years ago, the "New York Times" created an emotional column called "Moder Love" (Moder Love), soliciting personally experienced love stories from readers, aiming to convey warmth to every busy modern person meaning.
originally thought it would be left out, but unexpectedly, once it was launched, it became a hit.
Since its inception, Modern Love has been firmly in the most popular section of The New York Times, and countless radio stations have competed for cooperation. It has even been printed into a book and has its own physical book...
Of course, as Amazon becomes the Internet Big Mac, it is ambitious to enter the film and television industry, of course it will not miss such a good subject.
Modern Love is made into movies and TV series, of course, it's a matter of course.
No, Amazon has invited a lot of big coffee to bring this heart-warming drama, here:

is different from other people's breaking up. Her reason for breaking up is very special-
is because the uncle of the doorman downstairs in the apartment disagrees.
The guardian's uncle's name is Gu Siming, and it is rumored that his parents are radicals, so he grew up in a labor camp. Childhood experience has made Gusming taciturn and stiff. But for Mitchell, Gusmin is a very important person to her.
Usually, Gu Siming serves Mitchell; sometimes, Gu Siming is more like Mitchell's father. Whenever she took a man home, Gu Siming would use his eagle-like eyes to judge whether the person is good or bad.
"He is weak and has no self-control"; "He has not enough IQ and no head"; "He won't call you again"...Time and again, Gusming ruthlessly cut off Mitchell's bursts Hormone, Xiaochun heart about to move. Although Mitchell hated it every time, Gusmin was right every time.
Sometimes, Gusmin is like Mitchell's best friend. Once, Mitchell met Ted, who was gentle and handsome. Although Gusmin was still dissatisfied, Mitchell identified this person.
lingered all night, Mitchell found out that she was pregnant.
Panicked and frightened, she searched through her address book, and finally chose to go downstairs to find the person she trusted the most.
Gusmin, who has always been harsh, became extremely gentle in front of Mitchell's tears.
He did not blame Mitchell for failing to take safety measures, and did not give her an idea to kill the child. Instead, he told her very firmly: "Who cares what they think, as long as you are responsible for your own life."
At this time, Gusming was like Mitchell's lover again, deep in love and arduous.
Despite the pressure, after communicating with Ted, Mitchell decided to give birth to the child and raise it alone.
Ted, who was the father of the child, never showed up from the time of delivery to the birth of the child. On the contrary, Gusming has always been like a caring husband, silently accompanying Mitchell.
buys baby supplies, does check-ups, lifts weights, looks after children...
Gusmin also posted the B-ultrasound picture that Mitchell gave him to the table, and never tore it off. When Mitchell was sweating profusely in the delivery room, he floated in front of himThe present is also the figure of Gu Siming.
day after day, they are like this, although the time is very short every day, they rely on each other very tacitly...until Mitchell received an offer from Los Angeles.
This is an extremely rare opportunity, but it also means that she has to move out of New York and leave this apartment building guarded by Gusmin.
She came to the hall, adjusted her expression diligently, and told Gusming the news in a tone of pretending excitement.
Gu Siming also smiled and said congratulations.
This time, they once again maintained a tacit understanding, and no one said the word "reluctant".
But when Gusmin walked out the door a little gaffe, everything was self-evident.
Seeing Gu Siming's back in the cold wind, Mitchell finally couldn't help it, and couldn't help crying the moment the elevator door closed.
Some people may ask, in the end, are they together? There is no answer to
, and no answer is needed.
They will not be together. The age gap, the disparity in occupation, the barrier of distance... make them never be lovers;
but they are still together, in the way of relatives, in the way of friends, with the best Way to warm each other.
In this world, no one loves each other more than them.
Five years later, Mitchell returned to New York to visit with his daughter and his new boyfriend.
Reunion after a long absence, Gu Siming looked at the person in front of him and gave a positive answer for the first time: This is a qualified man.
Although the man didn't do anything, he didn't even say a few words, but Gu Siming knew that he was already qualified.
At this time, Gu Siming told Mitchell that he had never seen the man standing next to her for so many years. Instead, just look at Mitchell's eyes. Gusming knows everything about Mitchell, her character, her preferences, her vulnerability, and her beauty. More importantly, there is the firmness or doubt in her eyes.
Five years, neither long nor short. A hug will sublimate and condense the complex emotions of the past. The little regret was overwhelmed by the emotion, and if he was not careful, he was healed by this plain story. After watching the eight episodes of

But when I really saw this show, I knew that the real eye-catching is not the star-studded lineup.

Those beautiful autumn landscapes, those just right soundtracks, those graceful love experiences... The tenderness and romance that
"Modern Love" brings to us comes from the very essence of life.
Then, ask the "cheesy" question again: What is love? The intangible vocabulary of

Love is embodied in life, it is not complicated.
