"Love is Delicious" is a rare domestic drama masterpiece, alternating between funny and noisy, and deserves a rating of more than eight points on Douban. However, stories told from a female perspective are not uncommon, and the earlier "Occasional and Imaginary", "Drunkard City Women", and "Ordinary Women's Cultivation 2" all belong to this genre. However, the story background of the above three dramas is Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, which are not inland, and it always looks like there is some itching in the boots, and this drama completes this piece of the puzzle.
The three women in the story are Liu Jing, a perfectionist food blogger who is picky about love, Fang Xin, a divorced anchor with outstanding appearance but distressed by love; and Xia Meng, a workplace strongman with excellent ability who makes her boyfriend feel pressure. Liu Jing is unmarried and faces leaving; Fang Xin is divorced and faces reinstatement; Xia Meng is collapsing and facing a breakup. Three women, three stories. Because of the encouragement of Liu Jing's mother, he participated in a blind date.
The protagonist of the blind date is Liu Jing, and the other two are just accompanied. But in the end, Liu Jing is the most passerby. The middle-aged man who was originally matched by Aunt Liang and planned to talk to Liu Jing for two sentences shifted his focus because of the beautiful Fang Xin sitting next to him. Of course, this is also related to Liu Jing's personality, who sees through everything and is unwilling to mix. A blind date is more of a social event for her, keeping a polite smile and eating by the way.
Fang Xin's appearance is outstanding, so even if she faces a divorce lawsuit, the middle-aged man who is well-dressed still chooses to go up in spite of the difficulties. In the final expression session, the largest bouquet was also harvested, as if it were the center of the entire venue.
And Xia Meng? For her, there are too few people of the opposite sex who can tolerate her competitiveness and successful career. So as a result, no one took the initiative to talk to her. But the story is cleverly designed. At that time, another successful woman who was sitting next to her had a blind date. Her blind date process can be seen as Xia Meng's. The results were normal and ironic. Faced with a woman with a successful career, the blind date man chose to run away. Blind dates are not successful, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a job application. In the final group photo session, Xia Meng was complained by the photographer that the aura was too strong, like a leader. Blind date is a bad experience for Xia Meng.
When it comes to blind dates, it always comes to mind that it would be a tragic situation. When the age comes, the parents are old, and the blind dates come wave after wave. Of course, it may be exaggerated to say that it is tragic, but in terms of the current social atmosphere that encourages marriage, blind dates are undoubtedly very realistic. Hide or beautify your shortcomings as much as possible, and then enlarge your advantages. Like a bargaining table chip, three times five divided by two, the two should be on an equal footing.
Fang Xin is sought after, it is not difficult to see the beauty, which is a personal feature of high valuation. She received numerous bouquets of flowers, indicating that she was married and still being pursued. Her original husband was also very considerate of her, and Fang Xin, who was prone to food allergies, was called a good care. All of this, beauty accounts for important reasons. But on the other hand, beauty is not a constant value, and a capable man tends to like the new and dislike the old faster, after all, he has a greater chance of exposure to various kinds of beauty, and is more tested. In the play, the husband who divorced Fang Xin is a typical example.
After falling out with her husband, she walked back to work. There are drivers flirting, being embarrassed by Party A, and being pursued by everyone at the blind date. At this point, Fang Xin's role is more like a trophy, an object of competition for men with a certain social status. Beauty is like a magic spell, and it can't save Fang Xin's love.
Liu Jing's role is a betrayal of tradition. On the one hand, she wants to be a cook; on the other hand, she is not concerned about blind dates and marriages. And these two points are not in line with her parents' wishes. The reluctance to get married is related to her personality, she always wants to know the answer in advance, and it is easy to think too much. Marriage relationship is one of the most important relationships in life, it is too heavy to say, not exaggerated, so Liu Jing wants to be an outsider. As for chefs, in fact, today's society is highly inclusive, and female chefs are not uncommon, but in the eyes of the older generation, this is considered deviant.
Xia Meng is more special. Her social status is high, her income is high, and it is reasonable to say that she is an advantage in the blind date market. As a result, she did not have a blind date, which was reflected on the side, and the combination of strength and women, most men would avoid. There is very little that can be tolerated, even if it is Xia Meng's ex-boyfriend, Wang Jichong, his tolerance is limited. It has to be mentioned here that the story is very troublesome to pick the role of a fitness coach as the ambiguous object of Xia Meng. They are able to have their own strengths in two different areas, not mutually exclusive.
Having said all this, it does not mean that blind dates are heinous. To a certain extent, it can broaden our communication range. I think that for professionals who have worked in society for several years, they should have a deep understanding. But on the other hand, for marriage, blind dates can only make a start, or even a good start.
There are too many factors to consider to complete a marriage. But one thing is crucial, and that is that both men and women need to have a job. To put it mildly, with a job, you can talk about divorce more courageously. For the three women in the story, work is also their confidence, the antidote to escape all kinds of non-judgments, and the ability to bravely be their own saviors.
