Maybe It Ends Well is the Chinese version of SAIC Shanghai Culture Square's new "small and beautiful" musical production, following the musicals My Bucket List, Rachmaninoff and Spring Awakening.
The Chinese version will be upgraded by the original director, choreographer and stage designer of the Korean version of "Maybe It's a Wonderful Ending".
The story is about Oliver and Claire, a human-like robot that was developed to help humans in the near future.
In a futuristic world where robots have been abandoned by humans, two different types of robots, Oliver and Claire, live in a robotic building, each leading a lonely life.
These two robots meet by chance and embark on a journey together with different desires. Throughout this process, they gradually acquire human emotions, but while they learn to "love", they also feel "sadness".
Screenwriter Hue Park said "Maybe Happy Endings" is a work that uses robots as the main characters to think about human "emotions. The relationship between the heart and the mind is the source of the work, so when writing it, I thought a lot about the meanings contained in intimate and secretive relationships.
There are many facts that prove this truth in the long course of life. So what should be done for machinists who have sprung into a relationship and understand this truth?
Is it a choice to be weak and alone in the unknown future? Or to embrace love with hope? They didn't know what to do, but when they met each other, it was as if they had met hope.
We know that everything in the world, including ourselves, has an end, so maybe we can have a happy ending too? This may be the greatest hope and touching thing that this drama brings to us.
