In the dim room, the woman coquettishly hugged the man who was playing games and said that she was so hungry.

The man understood, picked up the woman and walked into the bedroom.

In order to make the communication more perfect, the two people quickly washed and tidied up, and played soft music in the room.

The prepared woman was waiting for the man on the bed. The man who appeared at the door with his bare chest made the ambiguous atmosphere even higher.

At this time, the two of them could not help themselves, and a fierce "war" was about to break out.

The above blushing and heart-pounding clips come from the recent Taiwanese drama "Let's Applaud for Love Tonight" starring Yang Jinhua and Chen Jiahua.

As can be seen from the title of this play, this is a work centered around applause for love.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has set a new benchmark for Chinese dramas.

In addition to the plot at the beginning, the play is filled with many large-scale pictures. How big is

With its large-scale "gender" topic, this Taiwanese drama has naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Some people praised the actors. Jiahua's acting was so good that she was so natural that she couldn't even remember her going crazy.

Some netizens even watched the beginning and bluntly said that the opening animation has defeated 99.9% of domestic dramas.

was able to gain such high ratings and reputation, which made Qingshi curious about the charm of this Taiwanese drama?

The story of "Applause for Love Tonight" revolves around two women.

The title of the first episode is quite explosive, it is called "Women who are good at making love and women who cannot make love"

The woman who is good at making love is one of our heroines, Zhang Jiachen (played by Yang Jinhua).

She is a sex therapist with dual licenses as a nurse and a psychologist. She loves sports and is brave enough to explore sex.

As a sex therapist, her duty is to provide telephone and face-to-face consultations for people with sexual problems, and provide professional guidance and help.

At the same time, she also runs online programs. With her large-scale gender topics and professional analysis, she has become a popular program for many people.

However, due to the particularity of his profession, Zhang Jiachen often encounters strange scenes at work.

For example, when answering a consultation call, the other party made obscene demands because of her gentle voice.

Another example is to teach the older brother how to use his little brother scientifically.

But as a beautiful female therapist, people of the same sex are jealous of her, and people of the opposite sex will have wild thoughts about her during the consultation and treatment process.

This resulted in Zhang Jiachen not having many customers, and he also received a lot of customer complaints.

In view of the document issued by the company, if Zhang Jiachen's performance does not improve, he will face the crisis of being fired.

And just when Zhang Jiachen was distressed and didn’t know what to do, Zhang Jiachen’s “elegant man” appeared.

This person is the other heroine Song Qingyu (played by Chen Jiahua), and she is also the woman who does not know how to be shy.

Song Qingyu is the administrator of a library. She has a husband who loves her very much.

The two met in the elevator of a KTV, fell in love and got married. They have an ideal family that is envied by outsiders.

But there is a huge crisis hidden under the seemingly perfect marriage, that is, the marital life of the heroine and her husband is not harmonious.

Every time she makes love to her husband, the heroine will feel nauseated and dizzy during the process, and may even be so painful that she cannot continue.

For this reason, the heroine went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with a spasm, so her married life was always not smooth.

But this disease is not physiological, but psychological.

So the heroine tried many methods, such as drinking to make herself tipsy or taking muscle-relaxing drugs.

I even went to the temple to pray so that I could have sex smoothly, but it still didn’t help.

Over the years, she has never been able to have complete sexual intercourse with her husband, but her husband has not complained too much.

But just recently, the heroine discovered that her husband had many abnormalities.

For example, she frequently received messages after get off work. When her husband fell asleep, she accidentally saw that it was a woman making ambiguous remarks to him.

I woke up late one night and found that my husband was not with me. When I went to look for him, I found that my husband was watching a movie to comfort himself.

would go home uncharacteristically and take the initiative to clean the house and order delicious meals for her.

Although my husband explained that the ambiguous text messages were caused by the female client repeatedly harassing her while taking advantage of work, he clearly rejected them.

But these seemingly inadvertent little things still defeated the heroine, causing her to unconsciously fall into great pain and self-doubt.

And the heroine blames all this on their inability to complete their love activities.

So in order to treat her own problems, she decided to seek help from a professional sex counselor.

The sex counselor the heroine found happened to be Zhang Jiachen, and the two were actually former high school classmates.

Although the two of them had a normal relationship before and hadn’t seen each other for a long time, they were still very embarrassed facing the female protagonist who was a classmate.

So the heroine found an excuse to leave, but when leaving, Zhang Jiachen told her:

Sex and love are difficult to separate in married life. If there are sexual problems, there will definitely be emotional problems.

Although the consultation did not go smoothly, Zhang Jiachen's words made the heroine think.

In order to solve her own problems, the heroine finally entered the treatment room again and began to receive treatment.

So in order to keep his job and the other to overcome his psychological barrier, the two decided to work together to find a way to solve Song Qingyu's psychological barrier.

At this point, the story of women who are good at making love and women who are not good at making love has officially begun.

The above is the main story of the first two episodes of "Applause for Love Tonight".

Judging from the content, this so-called "Asia's first sex therapy album" is indeed spicy and bold, and once again opened up a new field of Chinese dramas.

There are many large-scale sexual issues and scenes in the drama. It is indeed comparable to "Sex Study Room", and many of the pictures cannot be shown.

But if you only view this drama as a restricted work, then you will underestimate this drama too much.

Because when you watch the drama carefully, you will find that sex is just an incision in this drama. When you tear open this opening and look inside, there are issues that make people think.

For example, the popularization of sexual knowledge.

"Sex" has long been a taboo subject in our culture.

People either avoid talking about it or laugh it off in a joking way.

This attitude has led to many problems, such as the lack of correct sex education for teenagers and the inability of adults to communicate openly in intimate relationships.

So for a long time, sexual topics have become a difficult subject for Chinese dramas.

However, this drama uses sex therapy as the theme, showing various difficulties in couples’ sexual intercourse, and confronting sexual topics that are difficult for audiences to talk about in real life.

When presenting this topic, the play cleverly introduces a medium.

sex therapist.

This is a real profession. Their main business is to solve the sexual life problems between couples.

In the play, Zhang Jiachen, as a sex therapist, shows the sexual problems faced by different people. For example, some people are unable to have a married life, and some men have functional disorders.

Then Zhang Jiachen helped these people solve their problems and popularized the corresponding sexual knowledge to them from various scientific and psychological perspectives.

Therefore, the appearance of this drama may encourage more people to face their own problems and have the courage to seek professional help.

Such as the healing of body and mind.

At the beginning of this year, there was a high-rated Korean drama "Long Time No Time".

The male and female protagonists in the drama went from being passionate at the beginning to losing interest after marriage. The reason for this is not that they don't love each other.

is the pain behind unaffordable housing prices, unemployment and the inability to change the class, which suppresses their love and sex.

Without the pressure of mortgage and making money, when the two met again, a spark of love sparked.

I have to say that this ending is very ironic and realistic, and it leaves people with mixed emotions.

Although "Applause for Love Tonight" does not have the sharp practical issues of "Long Time No Time", it still has a different meaning. The

series starts from a female perspective, using "sex" as the entry point to explore gender relations and self-identity.

As a sex therapist, Zhang Jiachen is comfortable in the professional field, but encounters difficulties in his personal love life.

Song Qingyu has an ideal family and job that others envy, but she faces sex life problems in her marriage.

Two women, two lives, they are each other's guides and saviors in the process of exploring sex.

finally cured the physical problems and even the psychological problems in the process of solving sexual problems.

I learned how to love myself and how to love others better.

Just as the heroine Ella said after filming, this drama made me very healed, and I feel very relaxed now.

So it can be seen from here that the large-scale subject matter is just an entry point, and more importantly, it tells the audience:

Sex is not only a physiological need, but also an important way of emotional communication and self-understanding.

It encourages the audience to put aside their prejudices and face individual confusion and frustration in sex and love, to explore solutions and find their own happiness code.

This is also the meaning of this drama. Sensitive topics are not untouchable. The key lies in how to present them in an appropriate way.

When we discuss "sex" with an open, rational and respectful attitude, it is no longer an embarrassing topic, but an important way to promote personal growth and social progress.

As netizens said, There is no shortage of passionate films on the market, but there is really a lack of "Let's Applaud for Love Tonight".

Finally, Qingshi wants to talk about Taiwanese dramas again.

Compared with domestic dramas, Taiwanese dramas seem to have entered a new era in recent years.

Taiwanese dramas have officially entered the era of high-quality dramas, marked by the three dramas in 2019 that were both highly praised and popular: " The Distance Between Us and Evil", "The Story of a Common Girl" and " Want to Meet You".

Especially after the cooperation with Netflix, Taiwanese dramas have become bolder in subject matter and scale, and more and more works with depth and attitude have emerged.

"Taiwanese dramas have reached the next level" is already a tacit recognition by everyone.

After the release of "Let's Applaud for Love Tonight", mainland audiences were even more surprised. Has Taiwanese drama evolved to this extent?

even bluntly said that the biggest significance of watching it is that this kind of drama will never be produced in the mainland.

This ironic comment reflects the current creative difficulties of domestic dramas.

Of course, domestic dramas are not standing still. Recently, they no longer pursue excessive traffic dramas and have produced many well-known works.

The "Hurry" and "The Long Season " that started in 2023 are high-quality dramas that have both reputation and popularity for a long time.

It is true that domestic dramas still have a long way to go, but at least for now, there is hope.

I hope that domestic dramas can continue to improve their quality and subject matter, and produce more high-quality dramas, so that domestic dramas can also usher in the next level in the future.
