As the second work of the "I'm in a Foreign Country" series, the drama was rated 8 on Douban for its realistic depiction of urban life, delicate emotional portrayal and light humor elementshas a high score of 1, becoming the highest-rated domestic urban drama in the same schedule.
Speaking of which, the reason why this drama can be rated high with an almost amateur lineup is inseparable from the performance blessings of many comedy stars such as Li Xueqin, Ren Suxi, Shi Ce, etc., it can be said that it is their plain and friendly performance style that has made this urban drama pyrotechnics.
The play tells the story of Zhang Pei (played by Ren Suxi), Gou Dandan (played by Shi Ce), Dong Jiaxi (played by Wang Zixuan) and Wu Yun (played by Li Xueqin), who grew up together, who originally lived in different cities, but reunited in their hometown by chance. In the face of their hometown after many years of absence, they went from being unsuitable to being familiar, finding the direction of their lives in the midst of setbacks, and gaining friendship, family affection and love.
Most urban life dramas rely on mature actors to attract audiences, but their inertial and routine performances are easy to detach from reality and become suspended. The four protagonists of "Hometown, Don't Come to Harm", three of them are actors who have had comedy performance experience, and talk show actor Li Xueqin can be regarded as an amateur in performance, but it is she who brings the rare fireworks in film and television works.
In the play, Wu Yun, a community worker played by Li Xueqin, was admitted to work in the Chengdu street community from the northeast, and her story line has neither a tall white-collar plot nor a literary and fresh greasy feeling. Wu Yun's storyline is the ordinary daily life of the street community members and the rescue team members, the two of them get acquainted with each other in the short community work of their parents, and they are close to each other in dealing with trivial conflicts.
Li Xueqin almost starred in Wu Yun's big grin, kind and optimistic, and the story of dealing with street residents is also full of the interest of ordinary market life. Her not excellent appearance makes the role of Wu Yun extremely credible, with colloquial expressions and relaxed character status, making the whole character amiable and credible.
In the play, Li Xueqin starred as a girl from a small town in Northeast China, and many funny and humorous lines blurted out extremely naturally, making it difficult to tell whether this was a script line or Li Xueqin's inspiration. The role is highly compatible with me, and Wu Yun seems to have grown up in life. "Acting is not like acting", Li Xueqin can be said to have reached the performance realm that many professional actors have been pursuing.
Zhang Pei played by Ren Suxi also often has unexpected expressions, and occasionally poisonous tongues and scale-based ridicule make this character form a unique temperament. Ren Suxi's performance also achieved the effect of the integration of human drama, and many of Zhang Pei's funny highlights appeared on the short ** platform. Shi Ce, who plays Gou Dandan, once participated in the "Annual Comedy Competition", and the couple scenes he is good at are full of details and emotions are free, laying a realistic foundation for the most bloody characters in the play.
A group of comedians bring a unique viewing experience to the show, and the light comedy-style performance style also dilutes the heavy issues involved in the story, such as the controlling and anti-controlling parent-child relationship with parents, and the emotional bond with sisters.
The play uses a large number of life-like plots full of rich details to show the emotional problems faced by urban young people after returning to their hometowns in a tricky way.
In the play, Gou Dandan has encountered a series of major changes such as her husband's cheating, then his death in a car accident, and becoming a single mother, but in the face of blows, the drama has been handled with restraint and warmth. The other three heroines and Gou Dandan's parents have become her "protective net" to protect her from falling to the bottom, and the budding love from her teenage years after returning to her hometown has become the key to her life reversal.
"Hometown, Don't Come Unharmed" is a rare excavation of how emotions flow in women's stories, and how sisterhood supports each other. The writing style of life flow coupled with the expression of light humor, under the pressure of urban life in pursuit of "involution", provides the audience with another solution for emotional relief and **. This may also be the emotional basis for the show to win the favor of so many audiences, after all, urban life is too hard, who doesn't want to drink a bowl of chicken soup that can warm their hearts in the middle of the night in the cold winter?
