There is a golden sign in the domestic drama market-CCTV.
From "The Awakening Age" to "Hurry Up" to " Celebrating More Than Years 2", CCTV's hit dramas cover almost every theme and are everywhere.
But what CCTV is best at is family dramas.
" Parents' Love " and " Human World " are all classics that are familiar to the audience. " Cheng Huan Ji " broadcast in the first half of the year is also very popular.
In addition to these, the upcoming "Mortal Song" and "Good Reunion" are also attracting attention.
However, there is currently no news about these two dramas, but we are waiting for the other one.
" Little Couple " will be launched on Yangba prime time tonight and will be broadcast on Tao.
Judging from the trailer, this drama has a novel plot, fast pace, and a strong lineup. It seems that the masterpiece that can break through the peak of family dramas has finally been waited for by the audience!
01Novel perspective: focusing on family division of labor
"Little Couple" is adapted from Maori's "Full-time Dad". It tells the story of Zhou Quan (played by Guo Jingfei) who suddenly lost his job in middle age, while Che Li (played by Yin Tao), who was originally a full-time mother, suddenly became unemployed. The business is booming.
So the two decided to exchange identities. Che Li went out to work and took care of the housework, which led to a series of surprises and twists and turns.
Workplace and family, work and children, this drama offers two answers to the problems faced by these middle-aged people.
Answer 1: Identity exchange, changing family division of labor.
In the traditional family model, it seems to be the default rule for everyone that men take charge of the outside and women take charge of the house.
With the development of society and the progress of the times, this rule is gradually being broken by today's young people. After all, this is just a family division of labor.
So Zhou Quan became a full-time dad like this.
Put eggs in the microwave, light up the kitchen while cooking, and cook wontons into noodle soup. It can be seen that he has "no experience" written from head to toe.
However, young people are willing to accept and learn, but the elders find it difficult to understand. In particular, Che Li's mother (played by Xu Di) protested when she saw her child being injured.
This kind of division of labor between the female protagonist and the male protagonist is not a bad idea. After all, the understanding, tolerance, and warmth of family members are the best adjustments.
Answer 2: Career development presents a dilemma for women.
Under the default social rules, it seems that only women face the choice between work and family.
This drama did not avoid this topic at all, but expressed its views in simple terms in the plot.
"This man should go out to make money, and it is natural for women to take care of their children at home, you know?"
"Who decides?"
Che Li's rhetorical question represents the voice of many career women.
In fact, career and family have never been a single-choice question. This false proposition should not be a reason to constrain women's career development, and new and old concepts will also blend and grow in the collision.
The perspective of this drama is novel, and the role played by a strong creative team cannot be underestimated.
director Lu Ying once directed " for the rest of my life, please give me your advice " and served as the deputy director of " is the best, we ". He is deeply involved in the field of modern dramas and has accumulated rich experience.

's new drama, has a positive and straightforward personality, dares to fight hard, and has a persistent pursuit of her own development.
In the play, she looked at Zhou Quan who almost set the kitchen on fire. She asked him in shock what he was doing, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the answer of fried eggs. She helped pick off the apron but couldn't help laughing.
This series of emotional changes is extremely natural.

, she heard Che Li's carefully discussed solution and resolutely refused to accept it. She supported her chin with her hand, pursed her mouth, slowly raised her eyelids, and looked sideways at her daughter and son-in-law. The resentment in her heart was self-evident.
