The scene in the Taiwanese drama "**Inner Light" is hot and bold, and the story is so conservative and popular, continuing the routine of the American movie "Novelty", "Friends Also**" and "Love Wireless Pull". It's just that the core of this Taiwanese drama is not only love, but also the family ethics that most often appear in East Asian TV dramas. In the end, the misunderstanding was easily resolved, and all unsolved problems were not a problem in the name of love, and the audience who was looking forward to the breakthrough of Taiwanese dramas was inevitably disappointed, too mainstream and too regular. 
*Contains light" But the sex scene in this drama is not a sheep's head selling dog meat, it can be said that because ** is emphasized, compared with other TV series with the theme of intimacy If sex is not mentioned at all, no matter how realistic it is, it still lacks an important aspect. The sexual existence in this drama is universal and natural, and in this regard alone, it also plays a role in breaking taboos and exploring new models in Chinese dramas. The protagonist of the series, Qiu Hua, runs a sex education channel from ** Inner Light, and the content is mostly physiological or ethical trivia, such as the infection and prevention of HPV, the necessity of women, and what to do if gay men hit the number. And the reason why she dared to create the character of "Love Teacher" was not because of any professional qualifications, but because of her rich practical experience. At the end of each episode, she stresses that she is **not in love,* separated, and is only interested in sex itself. 
Her long-term sexual partner, Zhou Pinke, also maintained sexual relations with multiple people at the same time. In the three chapters of Qiu Hua and his covenant, in addition to stopping at sex and never talking about love, there are also no kissing, no overnight stays, no hugging afterwards, and no hiding the relationship status from the other party. But soon Pinker couldn't help but be tempted by Qiu Yao, and she also developed an emotional dependence on him that surpassed that of ordinary gunners, commonly known as seasickness. As early as when Pink pretended to be Qiu's boyfriend and went back to her house together, even inexperienced idol drama viewers were almost certain that the two would have a one-on-one relationship. Most of the bridges between them also follow the paradigm of early idol dramas, and even some old stalks have been rare over the years, but they are resurrected one by one in this drama. For example, Qiu Hua's first love boyfriend returned to China and the two renewed their relationship, and she mistakenly thought that Pinker and a strange woman were making out in a public place, etc., which is comparable to the common episodes of idol dramas. 
The most clichéd is to attribute the choices of the two **later** to childhood trauma: Qiu Xuan's love incompetence comes from witnessing his father who was in business and having fun with the restaurant girl when he was a child; As a child, Pink witnessed SM games between his mother and father, who were in the outer room. But do the events of childhood experience correspond so concretely to the psychological intricacies of later life? Is it enough for Qiu Hua to accuse his father of making him afraid of being abandoned since he was a child? And her resentment towards her father was easily eliminated by her mother's endorsement, because your father is not easy either. How did the ** choices of the previous generation, which deviated from monogamy, affect the children? This question was originally very worthy of in-depth study, but this drama gently raised this issue and put it down. Compared with the traditional idol drama-like love between the male and female protagonists, Qiu Yousen's gay love line is fresher, although it is also far from reality, simply resisting romance, and there are not too many overused bridges. The story of Yosen and Ah Yu is a pure love story of a gambler and a hooligan, much like the better Thai or Taiwanese low-budget BL dramas, the highlight is the surprising character combination and sincere and natural performance. 
Yousen seems to be a well-behaved office worker, but he is actually a talented gambling saint, and Ah Yu seems to be a ruthless character, but he is actually gentle and filial. The two vividly interpreted the electric shock and awkward temptation in the early days of their relationship. Wu Jianhe, the actor of Ah Yu, is even more amazing. He has been almost stereotyped as a gangster since his debut, and although this time is no exception, through his interaction with his dying grandmother, and the grief and anger after her grandmother's death, a gay image that is not understood by most family members is about to emerge. The audience seems to be able to see how he built a hard heart wall to protect the gentle part of his heart when he was growing up. The scene where the two fight in front of their grandmother's funeral hall is the most bold of the many ** scenes in the whole play, and at the same time it does not lose its sense of joy. The story between Qiu Hua's parents and the eldest sister of the Qiu family is more like the more realistic Taiwanese dramas in recent years, such as "Your Marriage Is Not Your Marriage". Both couples are basically sexless old wives, and the husband is unable to meet his wife's sexual needs, so the wife doubts whether love exists and whether the marriage is worth keeping. 
What's more realistic is that when her marriage was not satisfactory, the Qiu family's mother repeatedly urged her daughter to dispel Dink's thoughts, because no child could keep her husband. One mother and daughter attend a foreign spiritual class for help, and the other joins a local religious association to find liberation. Both were also booked by ill-intentioned people and were almost sexually harassed. While they had no way to seek medical treatment, two husbands were absent, one away from Indonesia and the other under the pretext of work. How to communicate effectively between husband and wife, especially when it comes to sexual topics, is a fairly common problem in marriage, and sexual disharmony is also the actual main reason why many marriages cannot continue. Although the show raises questions, it fails to give any convincing answers, and the solution is similar to a textbook hybrid of happy endings. The eldest sister of the Qiu family solved the problem by persuading her husband to participate in marriage counseling together. Qiu's mother quickly forgave her husband for his deception, just because he hid and worked as a black worker to solve the family's financial difficulties, not behind her back**. The series also skimmed over other topics that deviated more from the mainstream emotional model: 3P, SM, teacher-student love, women get sexual satisfaction by watching BL film and television dramas, etc. These are obviously not the focus of this drama, perhaps only to illustrate the variety of forms of sex and love, and the fact that the non-mainstream is prevalent in mainstream society, but it inevitably gives people the feeling of a spectacle minority. 
Finally, let's go back to the biggest breakthrough point of this show: a large number of ** dramas. Choreographer Huang Jieyu mentioned in the interview that she hopes to shoot ** not **, not use close-ups, and do not enlarge body parts. In accordance with today's international practice, the intimate scene action director was also invited to coordinate the movements in advance according to the choreography, and the filming crew was reduced to protect the intimate parts of the actors' bodies. Intimate scene action direction as a kind of film and television behind-the-scenes profession began after the metoo movement, the pioneering drama is Netflix's "** Study Room", the popular drama series "Normal People" also emphasized the necessity of intimate scene professionals in filming in the promotion, and since then, the British and American film and television dramas, stage drama intimate scene coordination profession has become more and more popular. The ** drama of "* Contains Light" not only breaks through the taboo in terms of subject matter, but also breaks through the exploration of standardized and safe shooting methods in operation, and these two points alone are worthy of reference for later generations. 
Some viewers may still remember the various speculations caused after the release of "Lust and Caution", if the safety of the actors is the primary consideration during the filming process, then why should the creators disclose the filming details of the intimate scenes? This is the most powerful love for an actor. Scenes should not be taboo, but the realization of scenes should not be at the expense of the psychological and physical health of the actors, at least the actors of "Inner Light" will not be labeled as difficult to tear off because they have filmed.
