html In March, the Taiwanese movie " Weeks to Eliminate Three Evils" became a hit in mainland cinemas , allowing many people to once again see the persistence and sharpness of Taiwanese movies. And the humanistic background.
And this April, another Taiwanese TV series debuted and quickly conquered countless viewers. went from a score of 8.5 when it first aired to a score of 9 after a few episodes.
This is the first Chinese drama to have a score of 9 or more this year.
"We are not kind enough".
has only 8 episodes and is not sloppy at all.
This is a drama with two female protagonists, 1-year-old Ariel Ariel 's comeback, and Tiffany Hsu who is an opponent in chess. It tells the story of two women born on the same month and day, who "fight" from youth to middle age, who loses. win?
From the protagonist to the story, it is very exciting.
While a large number of dramas in domestic entertainment are still being repeatedly pulled in genre dramas such as Mother-in-law and Mom, ancient puppets, and spy wars, Taiwanese dramas are no longer on the same track at all.
was slapped in the face again this time.
A few years ago, "The Distance Between Us and Evil" not only attracted a large number of viewers, but also triggered the audience's discussion and thinking about social issues.
"We Are Not Kind Enough" cuts into social reality and the joys, sorrows and confusions of life at different stages from a female perspective, and once again presents observations and reflections on life and human nature.
Let’s talk about the main creative lineup first, which is very attractive:
shoots women’s dramas, and women understand women best. The director and screenwriter of this drama, Xu Yuting, is a powerful female screenwriter and also a good female director.
She wrote the script for the hit drama "I May Not Love You" between Ariel Ariel and Chen Bolin , and she was the director and screenwriter of the movie "Who fell in love with him first" that transformed Qiu Ze.
Lin Yichen, the "Queen of Taiwanese Puppet Drama Ratings" who has been retired for many years, is back again. This comeback is a collaboration with Xu Yuting. Therefore, the drama is called one of the most anticipated Taiwanese dramas this year and has high hopes. .
Tiffany Hsu, who has already gotten rid of her reputation as a model by virtue of her acting skills, is an actress who has made rapid progress in recent years. This time she and Ariel Ariel star together again, two queens.
It is worth mentioning that Tiffany Hsu and Ariel Ariel starred together in " Kiss Kiss ", and both of them have lost their youthful feelings when they collaborated again.
The male protagonist is interesting. He Junxiang was also an idol in those days. He and Ariel Lin transformed from a young boy into a middle-aged couple in the play, which is full of topicality.
The supporting roles also include Rene Liu and Xie Yingxuan, such heavyweight actresses.
Sure enough, powerful people joined forces and won multiple charts in Taiwan as soon as it started airing. But what really moved the audience was the story that touched people's hearts.
"We Are Not Kind Enough" seems to have installed a monitor in our lives, or placed a mirror in front of our eyes.
The protagonists in the story are two women: Jian Qingfen (played by Lin Yichen) and Zhang Yijing/rebecca (played by Tiffany Hsu).
The two were born on the same month and on the same day. They worked in the same company when they were young. They happened to wear the same clothes and fell in love with the same man He Ruizhi (played by He Junxiang).
In the end, the latecomer, the mistress, takes over. The two have different choices, and time slowly pushes them towards middle age, reaching the edge of 40.
One fights to live the life he wants, and the other resists in order to live the life he wants.
years later, have they lived the life they want and won the life they want?
Everything is not simple.
On the surface, Jian Qingfen, who stole someone else’s boyfriend, got married and had children, is the winner.
At that time, He Ruizhi's girlfriend was Zhang Yijing, but Jian Qingfen relied on her own means and charm to eventually become He's wife, give birth to a child, and have a warm home.
However, marriages in middle age gradually become dull. There is no interest and passion between husband and wife. Even if they want to make a noise, reason will prevail.
When she reached middle age, she had a husband and children, and a well-organized married life. Jian Qingfen began to live a step-by-step life, which was so peaceful that there seemed to be no ripples.
As a result, Jian Qingfen accidentally thought of her love rival Zhang Yijing. How is her "defeated general" doing now? Is it not as good as yourself?
However, when she searched the other party's current situation on the Internet, she found that 39-year-old Zhang Yijing lived a completely different life from her own.
Although they are both middle-aged, Jian Qingfen has a husband and a child, but Zhang Yijing is unmarried and has no children. She has tattoos and has a boyfriend who is 10 years younger than her. She still lives a life full of vitality and freshness like a young woman.
Jian Qingfen, who originally thought she had won, was shattered to pieces in an instant, and the woman's jealousy burned again.
However, the 39-year-old Zhang Yijing, who is unmarried and has no children, is not as happy and detached as Jian Qingfen saw on the Internet.
Zhang Yijing is a freelancer, but she is busier and has more things to worry about than those who have a fixed job.
In addition, she is unmarried and has no children. A friend played by Rene Liu warns her that if she wants to live a good life after the age of 50 in this state, she must first save NT$20 million (approximately 4.45 million yuan).
was thought by Jian Qingfen to be Zhang Yijing's 10-year-old boyfriend. He was not Zhang Yijing's boyfriend at all. It turned out that he was helping the boy chase other women, and the two posed for photos.
Those characters who were "jealous" by Jian Qingfen turned out to be false packaging.
A single woman who is almost 40 years old, no matter how beautiful or independent she is, has to bow her head in front of the real marriage market because she is looked down upon as "old".
While Zhang Yijing was dealing with a mess of work, she had to endure her loneliness alone and fight against the worldly eyes of the outside world.
Zhang Yijing, who felt that she had failed, accidentally searched for Jian Qingfen's current situation on the Internet to see if her life was really satisfactory.
Zhang Yijing seemed to regret a little, unwilling to give up her boyfriend to Jian Qingfen.
When middle-aged women meet again, they are still comparing and competing: while beautifying their own unsatisfactory life, they are peeping into the other person's life.
This is also a question that the director and screenwriter slowly throw to the audience:
Have we lived the life we want after experiencing various life choices?
Does happiness and freedom equal success or joy?
Throughout our lives, we are constantly comparing ourselves, who are we comparing with? What are you comparing again?
On the surface, this is a love triangle that stretches from youth to middle age. In fact, two women born on the same month and on the same day are actually like the life of a woman after two different choices:
Jian Qingfen, who married her husband and raised her children. , Zhang Yijing, who is single and working hard.
A middle-aged housewife who was trapped in ordinary family trivial matters, changed from a sophisticated white-collar worker to a middle-aged housewife pulling a trailer to buy groceries.
A person is fighting against loneliness and coldness. Being free and easy, a person is aware of his warmth and coldness. He is busy making money and still looking for love.
I would especially like to praise the two heroines. Their growth and maturity are all shown in the play.
Ariel Lin and Tiffany Hsu, who are both middle-aged, did not continue to pretend to be young. In the drama, they both shed their idol drama pasts and played two middle-aged women who compete with each other.
Returning to the title of the play "We Are Not Kind Enough", by telling the stories of the two heroines, the core is still to look directly at human nature and analyze the plight of women.
is not unkind, nor is he really vicious, but he is not kind enough. Why?
Because he is always comparing and trying to live better than the other person, it seems that he will not appear to be such a failure.
In just 8 episodes, "We Are Not Kind Enough" once again tells a story that touches people's hearts and analyzes human nature in the seemingly ordinary love between men and women.
’s down-to-earth observation and thinking about reality and human nature, and the performance of the beautiful protagonist putting aside the burden of being an idol. When can be seen in domestic entertainment dramas?
doesn’t want to wait too long.
