From the beginning of the popularity of Monkey Purple to today's stable development, although it cannot be said that all dramas are popular, it is rare to have a complete collapse of word-of-mouth. Therefore, this "Love for a Long Time", which is based on youth and inspiration, is no exception, and has repeatedly rushed to the hot search almost from the beginning of the broadcast. But even in such a situation where the popularity is rising, as a rational viewer, he can't completely and blindly praise the drama.
Although several young and childhood sweethearts in the play seem to be telling this inspirational story with their hearts, they always inadvertently trip over the big hole dug by the story itself. Although "Love for a Long Time" has aired 7 episodes, there are many irrationalities in the first episode alone. Even in some plot processing, it will give people a sense of hastiness, such a narrative style is somewhat too hasty for a TV series with as many as 36 episodes.
In order to let the audience have a general understanding of the friends as soon as possible, when telling about Huang Yingzi's student days, "Love for a Long Time" uses a form of high school students acting in a drama to make a simple foreshadowing. In the preparation stage of the drama, through everyone's yearning for the future life, everyone's career and character after the first day were finalized. But is it really possible that this is the case? As an adult, how many opportunities and possibilities do you have to fulfill and fulfill your childhood dreams?
From this point of view alone, the overall story tone of "Love for a Long Time" tends to be exaggerated and dreamlike. It can be inferred from this that the story we will see in the future is not a story written from the perspective of ordinary people, but a story that is somewhat wishful thinking. Huang Yingzi's magazine "New Perspective" is a magazine where the management personally admits to his subordinates that he is not a magazine that pays attention to news and facts.
In other words, for everyone up and down "New Perspective", Huang Yingzi, who dares to gamble his future for the truth of the news, is almost an outlier or an eyeless existence. is such a small reporter who is not in the stream, and he can still get mixed up in the magazine, and he lives in a bachelor apartment that looks very good. What's more, as a manager, "New Perspective" is not ashamed of its own behavior of not caring about the authenticity of the news, and even instills this kind of thinking in employees directly.
Perhaps this kind of behavior, thought and practice is real and tacit in the real industry. Is it really possible to tell it so brazenly and bluntly like Huang Yingzi's boss? In addition to such a shameless magazine manager, there is also Fang Mingyu, who looks like he is the HR manager of a large company. Such a person who should have been in a high position within the company and made a lot of promises, but was interpreted by "Love for a Long Time" as a fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
If she was submissive in the face of the pressure of layoffs from the company's leaders, it was a corporal's natural reaction to his superiors. So why did her boss say such things to Shi Yu? As an HR, isn't it her job to recruit and lay off employees? Why would she go against the company's requirements in the matter of laying off employees? What's even more jaw-dropping is that although HR is often the existence of most departments and employees in the company that they are afraid of unknowingly, even if a veteran employee sprinkles all the fire on Fang Shiyu, it is a bit too performative.
Since Fang Shiyu has the data to rationalize the dismissal of employees according to the company's regulations to support it, why did he show such a submissive feeling when laying off employees? If we think about it deeply, we will find that this may be a kind of lack in the storytelling of "To Love for a Long Time". Since he wants to portray Fang Shiming into a tragic character, he also arranges her to a position of HR supervisor that everyone hates in most cases.
Such a job that naturally has a nasty gene may really make people feel sympathy or compassion for it. At least at the end of episode 1, I couldn't establish the empathy of Shiyu through the narration of "To Love for a Long Time". Of course, all this unreasonableness is based on the plot of more than 40 minutes in the first episode, maybe "Love for a Long Time" will be like most phenomenal masterpieces, with unpredictable reversals and follow-ups waiting for us to look forward to.
The interpretation of "To Love for a Long Time" is written here for the time being, and more exciting interpretations will be listened to next time for the next breakdown.
