originally thought that with the ending of the drama "South to North", Yao Yuling's character would slowly fade out of the audience's view, but she did not expect that after the finale, the controversy about Yao Yuling intensified.
Many people are dissatisfied with Yao Yuling's ending. The dissatisfaction is never about Yao Yuling's downtrodden situation, but the contrast between Niu Dali and Yao Yuling when they met.
1. About Niu Dali
If Yao Yuling is guilty, please use the law to try her, instead of letting Niu Dali appear with his little wife when she is at her lowest to tell her that she made the wrong choice.
The screenwriter chose the lowest method out of a thousand ways to tell Yao Yuling that she should not be vain, that she should not misunderstand people, and that she should not only care about money but not character. That was when Niu Dali showed up with his little wife, who showed off in front of Yao Yuling that she was wearing all famous brands.
This plot design seems to be telling Yao Yuling that her current ending is not because she is vain, not because she is unclear about people, but because she did not choose Niu Dali in the first place.
It even gives the audience the illusion that because she did not choose Niu Dali in the first place, the screenwriter would find her a drug dealer husband as punishment.
Many people say that Yao Yuling is vain and went to Jia Jinlong. This is the punishment she deserves. Then what is the reason why Niu Dali's little wife is looking for Niu Dali?
Is it because he is mature and steady? Is it because he is handsome and polite? Or is this an ironic closed loop? Does this mean that Niu Dali will also follow Jia Jinlong's old path?
Niu Dali didn’t let go of Yao Yuling when he was forty years old. He didn’t let go of Yao Yuling when he got married and had children. He put her down after seeing Yao Yuling’s most desolate, embarrassing and vicissitudes of life?
Why is this? Is it because he is affectionate? No, because all he wanted was Yao Yuling's beautiful skin, and his inability to let go was just because of his own obsession.
2. Regarding the drug dealer’s family
Yao Yuling’s identity as a drug dealer’s family is the second controversial point. This controversial point is aimed at the screenwriter. The screenwriter’s purpose of arranging such a drug dealer husband for Yao Yuling.
Yao Yuling loves vanity and wants to pursue a better life. She did not choose an honest man like Niu Dali. Is this the reason why the screenwriter arranged for her to have a drug dealer husband?
The screenwriter had many ways to punish Yao Yuling, but he chose the most cruel one. Being a family member of a drug dealer directly nailed Yao Yuling to the pillar of shame. Regardless of whether she had done anything harmful to God or not, her life was A sin.
Many people say that Yao Yuling should not live in such misery and abjection, but misery and abjection are not punishment for Yao Yuling. The worst punishment is the drug dealer's family.
From the moment she chose Jia Jinlong, she was doomed to be downcast, miserable, and tortured for the rest of her life. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, voluntarily or deceived, she was nailed to the pillar of shame.
But had she done anything unreasonable before choosing Jia Jinlong? No, she just seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages in emotional matters, and loves vanity... But no matter what she was like before, her status as a drug dealer's family will prevent her from turning over.
Some people say that Yao Yuling is no different from Lao Rongzhi. It has been clearly stated in the drama that Yao Yuling does not know that Jia Jinlong is a drug dealer, but they still compare her to Lao Rongzhi. They really hate her.
3. About Yao Yuling’s ending
Yao Yuling’s ending can be miserable, abject, jailed for harboring, or brought to justice for collaborating in drug trafficking.
There is no need for Niu Dali to bring her little wife to tell her that all she wears are famous brands; there is no need for her to see Niu Dali when she is at her most miserable and depressed.
This kind of slap in the face of Bai Yueguang is really unacceptable. The reason why Yao Yuling is where she is now is because she loves vanity, seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and has a unclear understanding of people. It is not because she did not choose Niu Dali, and the key point cannot be blurred.
No matter whether Yao Yuling meets Wang Xin, Ma Yan or Cai Xiaonian, she can express her regrets and regrets about the past more deeply, but it is Niu Dali who is an old man and a young wife, and this feeling changes instantly.
Niu Dali took his young and beautiful wife, and met the down-and-out Bai Yueguang who once looked down on him. This is full of irony. If Niu Dali was accompanied by his middle-aged wife, the audience would not be so disgusted.
Niu Dali has a young and beautiful wife by his side. Yao Yuling, the vain Bai Yueguang, can only sell kebabs. It seems that only if she is willing to be with an "honest person" can she have a happy ending.
When Niu Dali and Yao Yuling met this time, there was a hint of counterattack pleasure in the female rivalry. They objectified women and also wanted to discipline women's values. It was so simple.
