Domestic suspense dramas are on the rise, but other types of dramas are on the decline.
Especially the sweet pet dramas that once dominated the market have not produced good works for a long time.
I thought " You Are More Beautiful than Starlight " starring Xu Kai and Tan Songyun could push this type of theme to a craze, but the direction of the story was disappointing.
saw that the male protagonist just didn't talk much and didn't talk about his plans at all. The heroine learned about the male protagonist's plan from others and misunderstood that he was using her as a victim. It was really annoying.
Watching this drama, I always feel like it’s half sweet and then I realize it’s fake candy.
Since the setting in this drama is that the male protagonist has been secretly in love with the female protagonist for many years and finally got together, it is difficult for people to be interested in "Secret Romance", which has a certain similar setting.
's disappointment with this type of subject matter, coupled with the similarity of settings, gave people the initial impression that "Secret Romance" would be a bad drama.
But I never expected that this drama would directly take the first place in satellite TV ratings when it first aired, and the plot and casting were in line with expectations.
thought it was a bad drama, but Hunan TV picked up another dark horse drama, and the sweet pet drama is back!
One, a "leftover girl" meets a high-quality man, and a ten-year secret love finally comes true.
Looking at the setting of the story alone, this "Secret Romance" seems to have nothing new, and this is not the first time that a hidden office marriage has been shown on the screen. .
But the clever thing about this drama is that it makes the cliché secret love drama sweet and atmospheric.
These three scenes at the beginning are like three hooks, allowing the audience to become involved in the plot and characters, and fully feel the sweetness of this pair of CPs.
The first hook is blind date.
She felt that at such an age, her relationship was not settled and her job was not regularized. It was a complete failure.
So while working hard to get a place to become a full-time employee, he went on a blind date hoping to meet the right person.
But in the blind date market, Tu Xiaoning met people who either thought her job was bad, or thought she was too old, or they just went straight to the point and just wanted to get married and have children. Indeed, none of
can be viewed. Even if Tu Xiaoning wanted to get married and have a stable life, she still couldn't bring herself to marry these crooked melons and jujubes.
But at this blind date conference, she met her high school classmate Ji Yuheng (played by Wei Zheming).
The other person, like him, also works in a bank, but he is already at the vice president level. His academic qualifications are quite outstanding, and he is also a blue-chip stock in the blind date market. You can imagine how popular he is.
Tu Xiaoning knew that she was very different from the other person, but she didn't realize that the other person came on a blind date just for her.
then chatted for a few words directly to prevent the two of them from having more contact, and because the e-mule broke down, Ji Yuheng died on the spot when he was riding home in Ji Yuheng’s car because of the voice playback.
But in fact, this high-quality man who seems to be incompatible with Tu Xiaoning has been secretly in love with her for ten years.
The second hook, party.
Two high school classmates met again at a friend's pre-wedding party.
But Tu Xiaoning didn’t know that her ex-boyfriend, whom she had been dating for seven years but suddenly disappeared, was also at the party and was planning to ask her to get back together.
Seeing the girl he likes in embarrassment and not knowing how to deal with it, Ji Yuheng appears as a hero in time to save her.
gave Tu Xiaoning enough face as a fake boyfriend, and also declared her sovereignty to her scumbag ex-boyfriend. In this wave of
, Ji Yuheng won completely.
The third hook is marriage proposal.
Just when Tu Xiaoning thought that the other party was just a good person to help her out, Ji Yuheng sent her a marriage invitation.
immediately shocked Tu Xiaoning. After all, the two had only met a few times. Although it would not be a loss to marry Ji Yuheng and become a shareholder, at this time, Tu Xiaoning did not dare to take the next step with the other party because he did not know the other party's purpose.
But Tu Xiaoning didn’t know that the fate between the two began ten years ago.
Ji Yuheng's father had an accident and everyone isolated him. Only Tu Xiaoning encouraged him to look forward. At that time, a warm seed was planted in Ji Yuheng's heart.
The marriage proposal ten years later seemed sudden to Tu Xiaoning, but it was Ji Yuheng's long-planned plan.
Tu Xiaoning got married in a flash marriage when she mistakenly thought that Ji Yuheng only chose her because he was suitable, but she didn't know that she was marrying for love.
Straight to the point, getting certified in two episodes, the pace of "Secret Romance" is fast enough. While the audience was still immersed in the romantic atmosphere of their secret love, they had already seen the sweet interaction between the two after their marriage. Who can withstand this?
2, Zhang Jianing and Wei Zheming look great together, Marriage First, Love Later cp sweetness is off the charts
The success of the casting must be a big bonus for this "Private Romance".
When I saw Zhang Jianing and Wei Zheming in the same frame, I just said two words: a perfect match.
Zhang Jianing is perfect for playing this kind and innocent girl next door. She works conscientiously in the workplace and mistakenly believes that hard work will yield results.
But I didn’t realize that in the banking industry, connections are sometimes more important than hard work.
Watching her go from being full of confidence and looking forward to hearing that she was on the list of regular employees to finding out that she lost to an intern who had just arrived a few months ago, she was confused and disappointed. It was both heartbreaking and sad. Extremely true.
What is also worthy of praise is that when portraying the character, Zhang Jianing has very good control over the character's status in different periods. For example, in the early stage, it was just a flash marriage, without any emotion, and I didn't feel much love from her eyes.
This shows that she understands the role very well. After all, Tu Xiaoning just wanted to find someone to marry at the beginning, and she did not choose Ji Yuheng because she loved the other person. This kind of presentation is just right.
As for Ji Yuheng, played by Wei Zheming, his love for Tu Xiaoning can be felt at all times, which is exactly in line with the setting that he has been secretly in love with her for ten years.
Wei Zheming is handsome and stylish. He has a strong sense of husband and his charm is very attractive. When in the same frame as the heroine, he is a gentle gentleman. This is the ideal type in the hearts of countless girls!
handles work with a resolute and domineering attitude, and has a full sense of elitism.
This time, Wei Zheming is really going to become famous in one battle.
Combined with the plot, the scenes between the two actors are also extremely sweet. This is what everyone expects from a sweet pet drama.
Conclusion
The decline of sweet love dramas is inseparable from the frequent occurrence of industrial saccharin.
Before I could understand that there was a budding love between the male and female protagonists, there was already a lot of physical contact. Smoking this kind of candy would only make people feel uncomfortable.
In addition, many dramas of the same type like to choose inexperienced fresh flowers to take the lead, and their acting skills will be even worse.
"Private Romance" has truly produced a sweet pet drama that everyone wants to watch. This is the level that a good work should have.
I wonder if this drama meets your expectations?
