Urban love dramas have always been emerging in the domestic drama market, but the quality varies.

For example, " Ode to Joy ", which depicts a group portrait of urban love, has now become a classic and is still fresh in people's memory.

This year's hit urban romance drama " Rose Story ", from the plot to the actors to the quality of the series, is among the best in urban romance dramas in the past two years.

But looking back at "Camping with Love", it accurately stepped on the audience's thunder spots, so that all the content in the play was complained by the audience.

However, no matter whether the current one is good or bad, the audience’s expectation for urban romance dramas is always “the next one”.

But this time, Pants lived up to the audience's expectations and produced this urban love drama - "Half-Mature Man and Woman" .

has only aired two episodes, and it has already gained a huge reputation , and its subsequent popularity cannot be underestimated.

The plot of this drama is real and the theme is sharp. I have only watched two episodes and it is still unsatisfactory. It is very addictive. It has to be the dark horse of urban romance dramas this year!

01 Calculation, weighing, unromantic love game

"Half Mature Men and Women" is adapted from the novel "There Are No Faithful Men and Women Here", telling the story of He Zhinan ( Tian Xiwei ), Han Su ( Zhou Yutong ), Qu Yipeng (Xin Yunlai) Urban men and women such as (played by Jing Ying) pay a price and gain growth in the process of seeking love and making a living.

"Urban love, eating and drinking of men and women, love and hatred, come and go."

A sentence in the play directly summarizes the theme of the entire play. In this play, there is no pure love god of war, no "moral pacesetter", urban men and women There are routines everywhere in my life, but the two major scenes in the play immediately caught my attention.

Act 1: Love's "Pig Killing Plate".

In general urban love dramas, they all depict ups and downs and touching romantic love stories. In this drama, there are many love stories, but none of them have anything to do with romance.

In the play, He Zhinan has been in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend Gao Peng ( Zhang Zhehua ) for seven years, and the gentle elite student Qu Yipeng meets and cares about her many times, which gradually shakes He Zhinan's mind.

But from Qu Yipeng's perspective, these are his designs after labeling He Zhinan as the rich second generation. A chance encounter in a restaurant, deliberately choosing the wrong person to add on WeChat, telling her past events, and asking her for help. Every coincidence in He Zhinan's eyes is different. It's an ulterior motive.

He Zhinan, who longs to find a sense of existence in love, and Qu Yipeng, who wants to get help through the identities of others, have exactly what they need.

This drama shows the selfish and calculating side of people through love. It is cruel but realistic and closely follows the theme of the drama.

Act 2: The strong woman dumps the scumbag man.

Some people are dedicated to love, while others are dedicated to making a living. The setting of independent women is also essential in urban dramas.

In the drama, Han Su works hard to strive for better opportunities and bring herself a sense of security, but in her eyes, her boyfriend Qu Yipeng only cares about comfort and does not seek advancement.

As time goes by, Han Su's mood has changed, Qu Yipeng's disguise is no longer so strong, the cracks in his concepts are getting wider and wider, and Qu Yipeng has even found prey to be his prey. Home.

So breaking up is also their destined ending.

And women who pursue independence and self like Han Su are also heroines in reality.

This drama uses dramatic sections to analyze love. The timeline in the drama is jumpy but connected at the right time. Especially the small theater in each episode is a metaphor for the plot direction and characters, which is very creative.

02The actors fit the characters well, and their acting skills are online

The characters in this drama have distinct personalities. The character setting is only one factor. The actors also play a vital role in shaping the characters, and the casting in this drama Very precise.

ranked first, Tian Xiwei.

After becoming popular as Li Wei in "Everyday Life", Tian Xiwei is now also a strong contender for the leading female role in idol dramas.

Most of the impressions Tian Xiwei left on the audience on the screen were smart and cute. For example, the characters she played in "We Are So Lovely" and "Tian Geng Ji" were all very smart.

In the new drama, He Zhinan, played by Tian Xiwei, although she still looks like a sweet girl, is actually a "Sea King".

In the play, He Zhinan heard that the opportunity for him and her boyfriend to be together was because she was the only one who agreed to the invitation.

She kept moving forward, faster and faster, her eyes gradually changed from shocked and dull at first to full of sadness and disappointment. The emotions she originally wanted to suppress gradually collapsed, and she burst into tears in an instant.

In this section, Tian Xiwei fully interpreted He Zhinan's collapse state of gradually losing his rationality.

Tian Xiwei’s performance in this drama is remarkable.

ranked second, Zhou Yutong.

Zhou Yutong's acting skills are also ranked among the best among actors of the same period. In recent years, her roles in " Just Love ", "Da Song Youth Chronicles" and " Spring Beauty Sends a Lover " are also popular and word-of-mouth hits. .

Among these roles, the most suitable for Zhou Yutong is that of a professional woman. In

's new drama, Han Su, played by Zhou Yutong, is rational, sober, and has a cold temperament with a bit of sharpness, which is very consistent with her character and profession as a lawyer.

In the play, Han Su listened to Qu Yipeng's dissatisfaction and complaints about herself, and she held back the explanation she originally wanted to say. She raised her head slightly and looked up, as if she wanted to stop her tears.

Han Su’s grievance and stubbornness were vividly performed by Zhou Yutong.

Zhou Yutong is simply the perfect choice for Han Su.

ranks third, Dong Jie .

Dong Jie is also a capable actor. In " and Feng Xing ", she played the role of Yun Niang in a small part, but her crying scene was extremely sad and impressive. In

's new drama, Dong Jie plays the role of Zeng Cheng. In the trailer, he looks elegant, calm, gentle and intellectual when he appears.

Zeng Cheng’s maturity is reflected in her experience and bearing, while Dong Jie’s appearance and temperament also give this character greater charm.

Don’t worry about Dong Jie’s interpretation of the role.

ranked fourth, Zhang Zhehua.

Zhang Zhehua's role as Na Juan in " Mortal Song " has gained recognition from many audiences. Now "Mortal Song" has just ended, and Zhang Zhehua's new drama is coming. In

's new drama, Zhang Zhehua plays the "rich second generation" Gao Peng.

In the play, he was very perfunctory about calls from his long-distance girlfriend, especially when he heard He Zhinan's "unreasonable" call, his face was full of impatience. The character

will still play a lot of roles in the subsequent plots. Zhang Zhehua's performance in the drama is worth looking forward to.

In addition, there are actors Xin Yunlai, Hou Wenyuan, Yuan Wenkang and other actors in the play. Judging from the plot currently aired, every actor in the drama has performed very well. As long as this state can be maintained, the subsequent plots will be even more exciting.

03 Conclusion

This "Half Mature Man and Woman" is a panoramic presentation of class, life and love. It interprets love into the feelings, interests and self of urban men and women.

The whole drama is a sorting question. Everyone has their own set of order in their hearts, and the order determines their choices and attitudes.

Everyone in the play, and everyone outside the play, will give different answers at different stages of life. The gains and losses caused by the choices must be paid by themselves.

The dismantling of love is the most unique aspect of "Half-Mature Man and Woman".

believes that as long as this drama maintains this rhythm, it is expected to become a hit comparable to "The Story of a Rose".
