In 2024, the Chinese drama broke out.

period dramas, including "South to North" and "大江大河".

suspense dramas, including "Bianshui Past" and "Rebirth".

costume dramas, including "Celebrating More Than Years 2" and " and Feng Xing".

Even the long-dormant spy war dramas have the dark horse "Storm Chaser", but the urban drama that was once the "code for ratings" is absent.

In fact, it is not just this year that it is difficult for urban dramas to become popular. In the past few years, CCTV has produced dramas such as " Good things come in pairs " and "All the way to the sun", but it is also difficult to gain reputation.

In the final analysis, it is because most urban drama creators have no time to adapt to the changing interests of the audience, and try to attract attention with bloody and vulgar plots. Unfortunately, the audience has long since stopped accepting this trick.

In today’s Chinese drama market, are there any urban dramas worth pursuing?

Kujia’s upcoming “Half-Mature Man and Woman” is undoubtedly the best choice.

I dare say that this drama is different from most dramas you have seen.

The plot setting is unusual, and the love story arouses expectations.

Urban dramas are difficult to explode, simply because of overproduction and serious homogeneity. After watching the first time, the audience does not want to watch the second time. It is all about a domineering president falling in love with Hui. The cliché sadomasochism of a girl.

"Half-Mature Man and Woman" obviously does not take the usual path.

The play is adapted from Liu Cuihu’s 9.2-point novel "There Are No Good Men and Faithful Women Here" serialized on Douban. Just look at the original title and you will know that this play is not a "good one".

But when I clicked on the trailer, I was still shocked. Is this an acceptable standard for a Chinese drama? The setting of

is even more impressive than the Korean drama variety show.

The heroine He Zhinan (played by Tian Xiwei) is a social worker in the workplace. She regards falling in love as the top priority in life, so much so that her boyfriend Gao Peng (played by Zhang Zhehua) looked at her and asked, "Do you have a new boyfriend?" ".

Don’t think it’s ridiculous. Not only does He Zhinan have a new boyfriend, Gao Peng also has a new girlfriend. CPs in other urban dramas have two-way crushes. You two cheated on each other. This is really the first time we have seen each other.

Don’t worry, at least the male protagonist Qu Yipeng (played by Xin Yunlai) of this drama is half reliable.

He only thinks about his "money" and future, and strives to make a living in a big city, but he doesn't want to work hard at all. It doesn't matter. Compared with the heroine, at least his thoughts are not biased.

And around them are Sun Hanhan (played by Zeng Mengxue), the vengeful wife Zeng Cheng (played by Dong Jie), and the only "normal person" Han Su (played by Zhou Yutong).

At the same time, there are also cheating middle-aged men, sapiosexual dream gods and pure love warriors.

It can be said that "Half-Mature Man and Woman" is a struggle drama about a group of scumbag men and scumbag women who don't believe in love and cheat money and love.

Adult love has never been a smooth road. Everyone regards the love scene as a battlefield and is highly vigilant about practicing skills. Only after fighting to the end do they realize that winning in love only requires sincerity.

Of course, the arrows shot by Cupid will also sting those who are unfaithful in love, and everyone will pay the price for what they did at that time.

A gold medal director joins the cast, and the lineup is strong

Just looking at the setting of "Half-Mature Man and Woman" is a bit confusing, but in the face of a strong creative director, the shortcomings can also be advantages.

This drama is directed by director Zhang Xiaobo, who has directed many popular dramas such as "Good Mr." and "Little Willing". He was also nominated for the Magnolia Best Director Award for " Thirty Only ", which is extraordinary. generally.

If you have watched "Thirty Only", you will know that the right "levitation" can satisfy the audience's fantasy, thus making the drama more dramatic and enriching the highlights.

In addition to the director, the cast of "Half Mature Couples" is also a major guarantee for the series.

Among them, these actors are the ones I am most looking forward to.

ranked first, Tian Xiwei.

From "We Are So Lovely" to "Everyday Love", Tian Xiwei is very smart in playing girl roles. Her appearance is fresh and refined, and her acting skills are natural and lively. She is known as the "ceiling of sweet girls".

In the new drama, Tian Xiwei transforms into the "scumbag" He Zhinan. She puts love in the most important position and does not even care about propriety, justice and shame, but she is extremely sober in her heart.

It is not easy to be likeable in such a complex role. On the contrary, if you perform it well, you will be more brilliant. I look forward to Tian Xiwei's performance.

second place, Zhou Yutong.

Zhou Yutong is undoubtedly one of the little flowers who are best at choosing scripts.

"Youth Chronicles of the Song Dynasty", "I'm Very Good in a Foreign Country", " It's Just Love ", " Spring Beauty Sends Love to My Lover ", in recent years, the average score of Zhou Yutong's starring drama series has remained above 8 points. Of course, her performance skills It’s a must.

Zhou Yutong's acting has a sense of relaxation. There is no gorgeous makeup and no need for exaggerated expressions. The character is naturally engraved in the hearts of the audience, making it unforgettable.

In "Half-Mature Man and Woman", Zhou Yutong returns to her comfort zone, playing the role of a capable and neat urban young woman. There is almost no possibility of overturning, and she is stable in the role.

The third place is Dong Jie.

Dong Jie has appeared in popular dramas as a supporting role in the past two years.

Li Yi, the passionate female secretary in "Imperfect Victim", the miserable woman Yun Niang in "Traveling with the Phoenix", and the glamorous agent Gu Manli in "Thin Ice", every time Dong Jie appears on the screen, she can impress the audience Bring surprises.

In the new drama, Dong Jie plays Zeng Cheng, who is betrayed by her husband. In order to get revenge on her husband, she uses the same method to fight back. The role is quite outstanding, and Dong Jie's acting skills are also trustworthy. I can't wait to see it.

The fourth place is Hou Wenyuan.

Hou Wenyuan's acting skills should not be ignored among this young generation.

The stubborn and cheating Qi Chenggang in " Children of the Qiao Family ", and the arrogant, arrogant and domineering Chong Yingbiao in " Conferred Gods Part 1 " are both impressive.

This time in "Half-Mature Man and Woman", he plays the career-minded Wang Zilu among a bunch of scumbag men and scumbag women. The character is very lovable, it just depends on how Hou Wenyuan interprets this role.

In addition, many actors including Xin Yunlai, Zhang Zhehua, Yuan Wenkang, Chen Haosen, etc. have joined the play. They are all familiar faces, so you can follow it with confidence.

Conclusion:

I have to admit that dramas like "Half-Mature Man and Woman" are really rare in domestic dramas.

It is rare for a domestic drama to focus on romance. Although

is about the free-for-all love between a group of "scumbag men and scumbag women", it actually talks about the choice between career and love, ideal and reality.

Whether you need money or love, it is such a reality for contemporary young people to fall in love.

The "scumbag men and scumbag women" in the play are nothing more than disguising themselves in a wrong way in an impetuous society, trying to find the purest love.

Unplug the deep-rooted stereotypes in society and deeply present the most authentic view of love of contemporary people. This is the meaning of the existence of "Half-Mature Man and Woman".

Are you looking forward to this drama?
