A new interpretation of urban dramas, the individual guides and reflects the overall situation
"The Good Luck Man" takes the daily life of reorganizing a family with multiple children and observes the twists and turns of characters with different personalities and identities in the face of marriage, career, etc. as a sample. With the help of stories about responsibilities and commitments between children, couples, and parents in multiple families, it presents the current situation that has received widespread attention in the current environment.
The series uses Hao Youjia, who looks strong and independent on the outside, but longs for love and relies on family affection on the inside, and Peng Haodong, a "master of fooling around" who seems to be bright and easy-going, but is actually caught between his wife and mother. A series of misunderstandings led to divorce. In the end, when the two came to a realization, they once again faced the process of emotional choice.
For example, Luo Wenhui, the "former rich lady" eldest sister who learned the value of independence through marriage; Luo Yuting, the most favored youngest but divorced and unemployed, and finally awakened to herself; and Luo Wencong, the eldest brother who dreams of becoming a Kung Fu star but struggles to support his family and his ideals. They have different personalities and have experienced various tests, but they use their own ups and downs in the play to reflect the problems that every young person may encounter in society today.
"The Good Luck Man" also profiles a richer variety of character types in addition to family relationships and marriage scenes, thereby forming an intriguing comparison group of characters. For example, Hao Youjia's mother, Hao Ming, was once a classmate, best friend, and in-laws, but was secretly rivaled by Chen Xueyan, the male protagonist's mother, who suffered from "senior princess disease". Although Chuan Chuan has experienced many twists and turns in her business and relationship, she still embraces every family member in her own way with her simple life wisdom.
