In the current era of information explosion, the rise of online dramas has overwhelmed the audience. Among them, "You Too Have Today" is undoubtedly one of the most watched works in recent times. Since its launch, the show has quickly set off a craze on major video platforms with its unique themes and bold narrative techniques. The popularity of the show has skyrocketed, once reaching the top of the list, and becoming the focus of heated discussions among countless netizens.
However, just when people expected this drama to continue to rise and become another classic, the development of the plot exceeded everyone's expectations. The audience's reputation has been severely polarized, with many people even calling it "disgusting".
What is the reason why this drama, which originally had high hopes, encountered such an embarrassing situation? Did the plot deviate from expectations, or was the character setting disappointing?
Shared Law Firm: When Love Knocks on the Office Door
Time flies, and the audience in 2024 thought they had already bid farewell to the era of idol dramas where "the domineering president fell in love with me", but the drama "You Too Have Today" made People have a feeling of being out of time and space.
Cheng Yao, played by Zhang Ruonan, a novice trainee lawyer, and Qian Heng, the owner of a law firm played by Chen Xingxu, accidentally share a room with each other. The spark of love seems to bring people back to the early days when idol dramas were popular.
Qian Heng, the "tycoon" who insists on persisting in his career as a lawyer and refuses to inherit the family business, is not only the heroine's direct boss, but also her roommate.
This dual identity setting makes people have to admire the screenwriter's "ingenuity". The image of the heroine Cheng Yao, a clumsy and confused little white flower, also reminds people of the setting of the heroine of the idol drama in 2008.
But what is surprising is that the original novel of this drama was published in 2018, which is not that far away from now. Perhaps because of this, the author incorporated some "novel" settings into it, making the novel overall more joyful and full of laughter. This also allowed the novel to accumulate many "original fans", laying the foundation for the popularity of the series.
However, when the audience actually clicked on the series and started to follow the show, they found that "You Too Have Today" still played on the old-fashioned story of the male protagonist having insomnia and the female protagonist being the only "medicine". This kind of plot setting has long been common in sweet pet dramas, but the audience's acceptance of it is still very high. Perhaps this is the charm of sweet pet dramas.
However, although the audience was very receptive to the plot, they still couldn't help but complain about the poor characters of the male and female protagonists in the drama. Especially the character of the heroine is simply incredible. In the context of the era of 2024, such a stupid, bad, and extremely unlikable heroine setting really makes people feel uncomfortable.
Encounters in mansions and workplace mistakes: The outrageous behavior of a trainee lawyer after he broke into his boss's "secret"
In a mansion in a bustling city, trainee lawyer Cheng Yao, played by Zhang Ruonan, was chatting with her best friend and inadvertently said something to the man sitting next to her. Qian Heng (played by Chen Xingxu) had a misunderstanding and thought that he was some kind of special professional.
Her eyes flashed with envy and jealousy, but she pretended to be concerned and said: "It's not easy for them either." That tone seemed to fill the whole air with a sour smell.
Soon, Cheng Yao moved into a newly rented house. By coincidence, she met Qian Heng carrying a suitcase in the stairwell. She hugged the railing and stared at Qian Heng like a nymphomaniac, looking like she was fascinated. She looked up and down unceremoniously, and even asked directly: "You don't live here too, do you?" This kind of impolite behavior made people question her cultivation.
After Qian Heng went upstairs, Cheng Yao pointed behind her and said sourly: "Isn't it just a little money? What's the big deal?" These details have initially exposed the problems with her character.
However, something even more outrageous is yet to come. Cheng Yao was flirting with a strange man (actually Qian Heng) in front of the room, without any warning. She said she didn't want to live with a strange man, but she insisted on living with Qian Heng.
After settling down, instead of checking the doors and windows to protect herself, she ran to Qian Heng's door to peek. After being discovered, not only did he not apologize, but he also shamelessly preached to Qian Heng about what he had overheard. This kind of behavior makes people wonder if there is something wrong with her brain.
What's even more amazing is that Cheng Yao blocked Qian Heng's entry and exit at the bathroom door, looking very obscenely. This kind of behavior without any sense of boundaries is really disgusting.
However, that's not all. When Cheng Yao went to work on her first day, she was surprised to find that Qian Heng was actually her immediate boss. But she still went her own way and behaved even more outrageously. She got off work first and returned to the shared house. While Qian Heng was away, she sneaked into his room and rummaged through his things, and finally broke the wooden carvings on the table.
When Qian Heng came back, Cheng Yao not only did not take the initiative to admit her mistake, but instead tried to use all kinds of "courtesy" to get through. Until she was kicked out by Qian Heng, she still justified and shirks her responsibility.
When she learned that the broken ornament was unique and could not be compensated, she was stunned and at a loss, and then began to find various excuses to avoid punishment.
From the beginning to the end, Cheng Yao never apologized to Qian Heng for breaking into other people's rooms without permission and damaging other people's belongings! Her stupid and bad behavior not only challenged the audience's sense of morality, but also raised serious doubts about her professionalism and personality.
Double challenge of appearance and acting skills
In the ocean of sweet love dramas, the drama "You Too Have Today" is like a pebble thrown into a pond, causing quite a ripple. However, this ripple is not because of the fascinating plot, but because of the performance of the actors in the play, which caused many grooves in the audience.
Chen Xingxu, who once won the audience's love with his outstanding performance in "East Palace", encountered Waterloo in "You Too Have Today". The male protagonist Qian Heng he plays is a very good-looking character who is loved by everyone in the plot synopsis and novel setting.
However, Chen Xingxu's appearance in the drama is extremely unstable. Sometimes he is handsome and handsome, and sometimes he has a long and narrow face with prominent cheekbones, which puts the audience's eyes under a lot of challenges. And his "buffalo voice" made many viewers feel that they were in trouble, and they all shouted for him not to use his original voice in the future.
Compared with Chen Xingxu's appearance challenge, Zhang Ruonan's acting skills in the play made the audience even more intolerable. The heroine Cheng Yao she plays is a lawyer by profession and should be a smart and capable character.
However, Zhang Ruonan's performance in the play was surprising. She was either shaking her head or glaring, baring her teeth, and her facial features were flying. She was completely devoid of the professionalism and wisdom that a lawyer should have. Netizens commented one after another: "It seems that there is something wrong with my IQ" and "it is completely discrediting the lawyer industry."
Such a performance not only made the audience lose confidence in the drama "You Too Have Today", but also made people doubt the genre of sweet love dramas.
After all, the performance of the actors is an important guarantee for the quality of the series. If the actors' looks and acting skills are not up to par, then no matter how sweet the plot is, it will be difficult to engage the audience.
Conclusion
This drama is really hard to describe in one word! But having said that, it is like the kind of lucky person who happens to encounter a "window period". do you know? When it was aired, among those sweet idol dramas, there was only one "Our Translator" that competed with it.
Haha, when it comes to "Our Translator", it is simply synonymous with "bad drama"! They are both stories about love, so why are they so different? This show is so bad that it makes me want to smash the TV!
So, for "You Too Have Today" to become such a hit, in addition to thanking your own "advantages", you also have to thank your colleagues who "failed to live up to expectations"! If "Our Translator" hadn't been so "awesome", I guess "You Too Have Today" wouldn't have won the hearts of the audience so easily.
Speaking of which, have you ever watched "You Too Have Today"? Do you also think this drama is actually quite interesting? Anyway, I feel that although it has many shortcomings, it is still quite enjoyable to watch!
