There is one genre in the domestic drama market that has always been a guarantee of ratings - urban drama.
's "Small House" and " longs for " were well-known to every household, and now they have become a symbol of the times.
And " Ode to Joy ", " is good ", " is only thirty ", these urban dramas that set off a craze for dramas have also become classics.
This shows the importance of urban dramas in the hearts of the audience.
But this year’s urban dramas are not satisfactory.
In addition to the hit " Rose Story ", " Fireworks ", "The Time Is Right" and "You Are More Beautiful than the Starlight" all received mediocre responses.
And there are many good dramas to be aired that are ready to be broadcast. "The Good Luck Man" starring Zhang Xiaofei and Tong Dawei has been reviewed and certified. "Thirty-Nine Twenty-Eight" starring Sun Li has also been completed.
However, there is no new progress in these two dramas yet, but one drama has updated news.
", My Battle with Marriage " has been approved and will be released in Goose Factory. It seems that it will meet the audience soon.
The plot of this drama is fast-paced and the actors' acting skills are outstanding. People who watched the trailer are still left wanting, and the feature film will definitely be better.
01 Focus on middle-aged marriage
"My Battle with Marriage" tells the story of public interest lawyer Ning Yue (played by Cai Wenjing) living under the control of her husband Hu Cheng (played by Feng Shaofeng).
Ning Yue, who discovered that her husband had cheated on her, chose to get rid of her husband's marriage, and a battle about marriage began.
Combining the trailer and plot summary, it can be seen that this drama takes marriage as the theme, but why it is a "battle against marriage" must be seen from these two dilemmas.
One is the mid-life marital crisis.
Marriage is a common topic in urban dramas.
When a person reaches middle age, any problem in marriage, family, or career seems to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
The problem Ning Yue encounters in the play lies in her marriage. With a considerate husband, sensible children, and healthy elders, Ning Yue seems to have the most perfect family in the world.
But her husband Hu Cheng cheated on her, which made her realize that she was living in control, but Hu Cheng wanted to keep the marriage.
The husband and wife compete with each other with love, and the battle for marriage begins.
In fact, marriage is a test paper, and middle-aged marriage is the biggest problem. Everyone will be happy if the answer is solved, but if it is not solved, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
The second is female self-worth.
From the setting of female characters in current domestic dramas, it can reflect the understanding of women's self-worth issues.
From a stay-at-home mother who raises her husband and children to a successful working woman, this plot trend illustrates that women's self-worth is the realization of personal value, rather than through sacrifice and dedication.
In "Thirty Only" and " Good Things Come in Twos ", the heroines who discovered that their husbands were cheating on them all decisively chose to divorce and devote themselves to their careers.
In this drama, Ning Yue also chose to get rid of control, find herself, and live independently.
Compared with being a canary in a cage, the workplace is the most correct platform for her to realize her self-worth.
Therefore, these two dilemmas are not unsolvable. No matter what the outcome is, facing life with an open mind is the final answer to this examination paper.
The in-depth discussion of marriage in this drama comes from the profound accumulation of screenwriter Wang Wanping.
She has served as a screenwriter for classic marriage-themed domestic dramas such as "Golden Wedding", "Happiness is Like a Flower" and "Sweet Honey". With her many years of experience, the plot level of this drama must not be lower than that of this drama.
02The cast is strong
Looking at the cast of this drama, the focus is on bringing together powerful actors and veteran actors.
ranks first, Feng Shaofeng.
With many years of activeness in domestic dramas, Feng Shaofeng's superb acting skills have accumulated a good reputation among the audience. The brave, resourceful and upright Gu Tingye in "Do You Know" left a deep impression on the audience.
In the new drama, he plays the male protagonist Hu Cheng, who is arrogant, selfish and has a strong desire for control. The character in the trailer is better than Fang Xiewen after marriage.
Hu Cheng was so excited about Pua's move that he became even more emotionally unstable. He watched Ning Yue suddenly stand up from the dining table and stared at her with a look of shock.
But when he received no response to his words, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes gradually became fierce, and he directly asked the heroine to sit down with a commanding tone.
The subtle changes in the character's emotions in this section are vividly reflected, and Feng Shaofeng performed the character's madness.
ranked second, Cai Wenjing.
The university teacher Ke Ying in "Under the Sun" made the audience remember Cai Wenjing. And she is definitely an underrated actress.
Urban dramas are considered to be Cai Wenjing's comfort zone. Cai Wenjing's performances in "Unexpected" and "Pretending to Be Revelation" are quite wonderful. In
's new drama, she plays Ning Yue, a working woman who was raised as a canary by her husband.
In the trailer, it was discovered that her husband interacted intimately with other women. Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. At that moment, the dream compiled by Hu Cheng for her was completely shattered.
This role completely belongs to Cai Wenjing's comfort zone, and her performance is quite stable.
ranked third, Liu Jia.
Liu Jia, a national first-class actor, must be familiar to the audience, and it goes without saying that the acting skills of a seasoned actor are well known.
Liu Jia is also a professional mother in domestic dramas. Li Huanying in
"Hello Li Huanying" and Ye Guohua's mother in " The Sea in Dreams " may not have many roles, but her wonderful acting skills in the drama are also a highlight.
In the new drama, she plays Ning Yue’s mother. Her scene has not been shown in the trailer yet, but with Liu Jia’s acting skills, she is already familiar with this kind of role.
ranked fourth, Cao Lei.
Cao Lei is definitely a powerful actor. His role as Mr. Lu Xun in "The Age of Awakening" was praised by the audience for his stunning performance. It can be seen that Cao Lei is able to achieve three points in character creation.
The character he plays in the new drama is Lao Mo.
Although I don’t know the identity of this character in the play yet, it doesn’t matter what type of role Cao Lei plays.
In addition, there are Liu Yitong, Xing Zhaolin, Hu Jing, Zhang Xiqian and other actors in the play. The showdown between talented actors and veteran actors will definitely be quite exciting. Just looking at this lineup, this drama will be confirmed.
03 Conclusion

is bloody or catchy, as long as it is above the passing line, there will always be viewers who buy it.
But today is different from the past. It is difficult for the audience to buy into the clichéd plot, and it is inevitable that the quality will not meet the standards. From the plot point of view of
