Recently, TVB's latest masterpiece "News Queen" has just been launched, and it has jumped to 8 on Douban in just one week2 points, becoming a high-profile word-of-mouth masterpiece. The play's unique "find a man to marry" scolding method quickly became a hot topic and sparked widespread discussion. Viewers have said that TVB still maintains a high standard, and the outstanding performance of "News Queen" once again confirms the pain points of "pseudo-professional dramas" and "pseudo-heroines" in the mainland entertainment industry for a long time. 
The reason why this drama is excellent is mainly reflected in its portrayal of female characters. They all have very different personalities and different pursuits, but they all show themselves with the charm of independent women. Different from the common images of women in the mainland entertainment industry, these characters not only have excellent professional ability, but also show firm beliefs and independent pursuits. In contrast, female characters in mainland entertainment dramas often lack independence, and their success often depends on the help of male characters.
Secondly, the female characters in "The Queen of News" show extremely high professionalism and business ability in the workplace. They earn the approval of their colleagues and superiors for their hard work and strength, rather than relying on male help or good looks to succeed. This is in stark contrast to the tendency of mainland entertainment dramas to overemphasize women's physical appearance or emotional stories, while ignoring workplace abilities and performance. 
In addition, the female characters in "The Queen of News" all show a strong sense of professionalism and pursuit, putting career first, rather than taking love and marriage as the only value. This spirit of independence makes the audience appreciate and identify with their characters even more. In contrast, mainland entertainment dramas often treat women as men's accessories or slaves of love, lacking true recognition and respect for women's independent spirit.
Finally, the female characters in "The Queen of News" all have different growth backgrounds and experiences, but they all show the power and charm of women in their own way. Working hard in the workplace, being responsible in the family, and being independent in life, they prove the value and equal status of women through their actions. Compared with mainland entertainment dramas, which often simply categorize female characters into a certain group of people or a certain personality type, "News Queen" is more eye-catching for its in-depth exploration of women's growth backgrounds and experiences. 
Overall, the success of "The News Queen" lies not only in its excellent plot and actors, but also in its profound portrayal of independent female characters and full recognition of the value of women. Relatively speaking, there is still room for improvement in mainland entertainment dramas in this regard. It is hoped that future mainland entertainment dramas will pay more attention to the portrayal of female characters and the presentation of professional capabilities, so that more female audiences can see their value and charm in the workplace.
As an audience, I can't help but wonder: do the film and television works we see really reflect the diversity and strength of women in reality?In this era, should we show more of the power of independent women, so that the audience can see more female characters on the screen that they can look up to?Perhaps, this is also the secret of the success of "Queen of News".
