The house is really beautiful, and the charm of the owner's long life! It is a pity that the hostess of the show is always smart and keeps explaining and empty words. She often interrupts the host's words and listens inattentively, which makes her feel very impolite. For this space, she is like a casual spy intruder instead of entering with respect and love. I really hope I can hear the owner's time and emotions of living in this house injected into every corner of this space, that will make the show more truly infectious and tempting!
