When I first heard the title "Love for a Long Time", my heart was broken. The title of this play is even more cheesy than those "Internet celebrity" check-in points on the street, revealing a strong smell of industrial saccharin. I even wondered for a while that this drama is the kind of brainless sweet pet drama that exists only for the sake of sprinkling **. But when I actually sat down to ** the show, I realized that I was wrong, and it couldn't be more wrong.
I have to say that the title of this play is indeed easy to misjudge. At first glance, you will subconsciously think that this is a cookie-cutter and crooked idol drama, and then abandon it like dross. But in fact, "To Love for a Long Time" is a youth group drama of the era, which tells the growth story of a group of young people from 2008.
What's even more outrageous is that its previous version of the title "199 Love" is even more confusing. The title of the play does not match the plot, it is like a menu that says "home-cooked meal", but it turns out that it is served with carefully prepared dishes. Although it is pleasantly surprised, it also makes people want to complain: The title of this drama is really a waste of a good drama!
However, although the title of the play is criticized, the plot and character portrayal of "To Love for a Long Time" are eye-catching. It uses delicate brushstrokes to depict the struggle, struggle and love of the "Hangtiancheng 6" in their youth. The life experiences and emotional entanglements of the characters in the play are very contemporary and substitutional.
In addition to Huang Yingzi and Jiang Yi, who have the most scenes, the same portrayal of other characters is also vivid. For example, the role of Fang Mingyu played by Zhu Yan Manzi. Her growing pains, character building, and interactions with other characters all make people feel the three-dimensionality and fullness of the characters. The character of Fang Mingyu is like the "other people's child" that each of us may meet in our youth: good academic performance and well-behaved personality, but his heart is full of pressure and struggle.
There is a scene in the play that impressed me deeply: Fang Mingyu went to find his mother because he forgot to bring the key, but because his academic performance regressed, he was lectured by his mother who was playing mahjong in front of his friends. Her mother's words pierced her heart like a needle, making her begin to doubt her own worth. This scene not only shows Fang Mingyu's inner fragility and struggle, but also reveals the impact of family education on children's growth.
In addition to Fang Mingyu, there are other characters in the play who are also empathetic. Zhuang Yuan, who grew up in a single-parent environment and was pinned on by his mother; Guan Chao, who was left behind by his mother and crowded in the dormitory with his beloved; Lan Yifei, who has always been determined to move towards her dream. Each of them has their own stories and experiences, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows touch the hearts of the audience.
Of course, the show is not flawless. Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng as the leading actors, although their performances are remarkable, sometimes they also make people feel a little "out of play". For example, Yang Zi, although she is not an old aunt in her forties and fifties, it is still a big challenge to play a high school student. And Fan Chengcheng's current crying scenes and other performances still have a lot of room for improvement.
In addition, the narrative pacing of the episodes is sometimes a little dragged. In the fast-paced modern society, audiences tend to prefer tight, exciting plots. However, "To Love for a Long Time" uses a gentle narrative to show the story of the youth of the era. Of course, although this narrative is not quite in line with the taste of modern fast food, it also highlights the sense of age and the delicate warmth of youth to a certain extent.
In general, although the drama "Love for a Long Time" has been ruined by the title, the quality of the series itself is still good. It tells the story of the youth of the era in a unique way, evoking the audience's nostalgia and resonance for the past youth. The characters in the play are vivid and three-dimensional, and their growth experiences and emotional entanglements are empathetic. Although there are some minor flaws, it is a series worth watching overall. What do you think about this? List of high-quality authors
