When middle-aged difficulties come, they will never say hello to you.
I guess many people don’t know it.
Another new urban family drama is launched.
" has an older one and a younger one "!
I won’t talk about anything else, but as soon as the title of the show came out, everyone knew what the show was about, and it immediately became a topic.
Other dramas have more literary names, but this drama is better. It directly expresses the dilemma of middle-aged people. Good guy, before I watched the drama, a heavy emotion overflowed, making me The person frowned unconsciously.
However, a good name does not mean that the quality of the series is good. It is a mule or a horse, and it has to be pulled out for a ride!
1: Entering the drama
Lu Xiang ( Yang Jue ) and Gu Xiaomeng (Deng Jiajia) are a couple. His wife Gu Xiaomeng is an outstanding female teacher in high school, and her husband Lu Xiang is a master of a design company.
They met at the playground. After many years, their love is sweet, their careers are successful, and their married life is harmonious.
However, as expected, accidents happened.
Gu Xiaomeng's father-in-law and mother-in-law came from the countryside of Shandong and started to set up rules as soon as they got home. Although Gu Xiaomeng had already made a plan, the young couple still couldn't adapt to many of their parents' old habits.
My mother-in-law has been frugal since she was a child. When she saw her son buying a sofa, she quickly put a cover on it. She called it maintenance, otherwise it would definitely not last a long time. As a result, Lu Xiang's design for the family that fits the overall family style is useless.
Dad wanted to watch TV with the remote control. When he saw that the remote control looked like a polished one, he asked his son for plastic wrap and immediately wrapped the remote control. Although it looks ugly, my father also has the wisdom of the older generation, so that it will not break easily and it will be clean.
As for the old cardboard boxes at home, let alone those. I believe many people who live with their parents feel the same way.
Of course, the most impressive thing is the rules when eating. In Lu Xiang’s hometown in Shandong, juniors are not allowed to sit facing the door during meals. This is reserved for the elders.
Good guy, after all these years, let alone the people in the show who don’t know, this is the first time I’ve heard of this rule.
I have always heard that in some Shandong areas, women are not allowed to serve at the table. This time I have seen it. In addition, there are other rules.
Parents have just been getting along with their children for a few days. This rule and that habit make the atmosphere extremely tense.
The characters in the play may not dare to say anything due to their family relationships, but as a TV viewer, it seems so embarrassing. I really don’t know how to get along in this environment.
So, in less than one episode, "The Elder and the Young" directly took the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law elements of the family drama to the extreme.
2: There is an old man at the top and a young man at the bottom
To be honest, although the plot described above is uncomfortable, the most critical elements of the family drama are not reflected. What is
?
Of course it’s a child problem!
When Lu Xiang's parents came back to see their son, the main purpose was not to find fault with their daughter-in-law, but to find their eldest grandson. They wanted to have grandchildren, so they came all the way from their hometown.
Besides, the title of this drama is "There are old people above and young people below". The old man is already here, and the grandchildren must also be arranged. Otherwise, how can he reflect the true state of a middle-aged man?
Although the first episode of "There Are Old People and Young Children" did not mention much about children, the plot introduction of the show gave a clear answer. In the subsequent plot of the show, the heroine Gu Xiaomeng Pregnant women, old and young, will join the battlefield.
This can be said to be one wave after another.
To be honest, when I first watched the show "The Old One and the Young One", in the first half of the series, there were many sweet love stories between two people, including Gu Xiaomeng's interactions with students when he was teaching in school. The story of their interaction.
I thought that this drama would focus on career and secondary on emotions. However, I never expected that in less than one episode, the family drama has already begun. It really doesn't give a minute's pause. It's like the dilemma of middle-aged people.
3: Follow-up points
There is an old person at the top and a young person at the bottom. Two people support four parents. They are not lucky. There may be a brother-in-law who needs help.
According to the latest trailer, not only the man's parents will join the battle in "The Elder and the Young", but also the girl's parents and Gu Xiaomeng's younger brother will also join the scene. Moreover, soon after arriving at the scene, the couple was taught a lesson.
On a sunny morning, just as the family was sleeping, the younger brother woke everyone up with a scream. It turned out that my father-in-law wanted to save money, so he turned the faucet to the minimum and let someone drip down, thinking that he could save water money.
Unexpectedly, he miscalculated the speed and size of the water droplets. Good guy, one night, it not only filled the entire basin, but also flooded the kitchen, overflowing directly, and the entire house was covered with water.
My parents have all kinds of old rules.
My father-in-law is looking for trouble again.
It’s very worrying to have a big family living together.
And this, I think is just the beginning. Looking at it now, it is mainly the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the conflict between father-in-law and son-in-law. In fact, these are all bearable. After all, the couple are still young, so they can just endure it for a while.
was afraid. As time went on, the conflict shifted and turned into a conflict between two families. If there is some friction between the two parents because of the issue of grandchildren, then it will be called a real fight, and then there will be a real fight between the old and the young.
Although the series has only aired for one episode, from the trailer, I already had a feeling that this drama will definitely have a lot of topics.
Everyone, please feel free to follow the drama and wait and see!
4: How was the performance?
Currently, only one episode of "Old on Top, Young on Bottom" has been aired. If you ask me what my most direct impression is, I would say it is down-to-earth. Drama conflicts are contradictions and conflicts that urban families often encounter.
Society is developing rapidly. More children from rural areas are buying houses in cities and getting married.
But my parents are still the same as in their hometown in the countryside. When these two generations live together, there will inevitably be conflicts and contradictions. And this kind of group is definitely not a minority in modern society. Such plots are naturally more down-to-earth and easier for the audience to empathize with.
As for the actors' acting skills, it can actually be described as "down-to-earth".
Jue is also an old acquaintance of everyone. When talking about him, many viewers will unconsciously associate him with his father Yang Lixin and label him as the second generation star, thinking that his father is more famous.
It cannot be denied that Yang Jue is indeed a second-generation star, but his acting skills are definitely above average among his peers. I have watched many of his film and television dramas, and he has been improving over the years. In this drama, his performance is as stable as ever.
Yang Jue plays the role of Lu Xiang, and he portrays a familiar character. Whether he is acting opposite an old senior or Deng Jiajia, he behaves naturally and appropriately.
I am not surprised that Yang Jue has performed like this. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will give him more opportunities. Maybe he can surpass his father!
In addition to Yang Jue, Deng Jiajia is also an old acquaintance of everyone.
In "The Old One and the Young One", she plays Gu Xiaomeng, a high school teacher.
To be honest, I have watched many of her film and television dramas before, but most of the dramas she participated in were suspense dramas. Suddenly seeing her in a family drama made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Deng Jiajia's acting skills are trustworthy. I personally look forward to her performance in the play and hope she can make the audience shine.
In addition to the two leading actors, the performance of the supporting roles in "The Old One and the Young One" is also remarkable. Whether it is Qian Yi who plays the principal, or Xu Di who plays the mother-in-law, although there are not many roles, they have successfully completed their tasks and are worthy of encouragement!
5: Let me say one more thing
Domestic dramas have thousands of themes. There has always been a market for urban family dramas. Such dramas often focus on the trivial matters in the lives of modern urbanites, such as workplace survival, the relationship between husband and wife, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. These are all Topics close to life.
Therefore, whenever such a series is aired, it is generally very popular.
I recommend this book "Old and Young" to everyone. After reading it, you will come back and thank me!
