Today, floating to pay off the debt -
Backstage cue a long time of "That Year, Our Summer".
After saving so many praises, Flutter excitedly opened the first episode.
As a result, at first glance, familiar campus scenes:
School uniforms, bicycles, male and female protagonists sprinkling water and playing...
Familiar routines:
The first grade is at the same table as the penultimate first.
The bully heroine, who can't help but speak to the queen——
I hate useless stuff
I hate any useless creature
Learn from the scum male protagonist, suspect that the female protagonist's mouth is too poisonous:
There are also people who talk badly
Such people don't speak through the brain
Oh, another pair of joyful enemies.
It's too common to learn scum and bully each other, how can it be so many people?
Press the disappointment and drift down.
After one episode —
I was wrong.
I apologize for my initial abandonment.
This is a romance film, but it is by no means a routine love film.
In Piao's view, the reason why this drama can talk about love well is better than a "fine" word.
How to elaborate?
Let's talk.
(The following involves spoilers, mind please follow the drama and watch the text again.)
）
"That Year, Our Summer" (hereinafter referred to as "That Year") is about the love of the male and female protagonists after ten years, divided and merged, broken and reunited.
Choi Hung and Yeon Soo are classmates.
Like all rejoicing enemies.
The first impression left by the male and female protagonists on each other is not good, and they both feel that the other party is a "freak".
The male protagonist, Cui Xiong (played by Cui Woo-sik), not only suspects that the female protagonist is poisonous.
Also considered aggressive, self-centered, and difficult to get along with.
And the bully heroine Guo Yanxiu (played by Kim Duomei) looks down on the male protagonist who does not learn no skills.
However, two people who look at each other and think that they are not in the same world.
But they were put together to make a documentary of "the first student in the school to spend a month with the students who are counting down in the whole school".
Standing on the left is the female protagonist, and on the right kneeling is the male protagonist.
Thus began a period of mutual reassurance and mutual harmony.
Every detail seems to further verify the discord between the two.
The table is separated by "three or eight lines", and the other party's items cannot cross the boundary.
Seeing Cui Xiong's obsessive-compulsive disorder like putting things away, Yan Xiu looked disgusted.
Cui Xiong accidentally soiled Yanxiu's clothes, and she immediately squeezed the ketchup and returned it.
When playing, take each other as meat shields.
Quarrel and fight, each has its own attitude, and does not bow its head.
It is not difficult to predict that after such a "gunpowder"-flavored documentary was broadcast, it quickly became popular on the Internet.
After filming the documentary, the story of Yan Xiu and Cui Xiong continued.
What's more interesting is that.
Ten years later, the two men's status was completely reversed.
Once, Yan Xiu, the first in the school, aspired to become a "leader role" and a "life victor".
Ten years later, she felt the gap between imagination and reality.
It has become a social animal that is angry with Party A.
And cui xiong, who once imagined himself in the future, lived a "peaceful and stable life by doing nothing", and was very ambitious.
Not only did not "quickly be eliminated by society", but also realized their dreams -
Sitting in front of your own store, while lamenting the beauty of life, while leisurely basking in the sun.
He became a reclusive mysterious illustrator.
They met again.
What contributed to this encounter was because the female protagonist asked for the male protagonist.
Yanxiu's company planned an event that required an illustrator named Gao Wu to collaborate.
This illustrator is Cui Xiong.
Yan Xiu, who appeared at the door of Cui Xiong's house again, was sprayed in the face by him with a watering can as soon as they met.
Do you think this is the resentment left by the "joyful enemy" of that year?
Not really.
The truth is --
These two people, who have been in a relationship for five years.
It's also very ugly.
It turned out that the joyful enemy had already become a joyful lover.
Moreover, the love between the two of them at that time was so sweet that it was so sweet that it was twisted.
In the 1792 days of love, Yan Xiu kept asking her boyfriend "strange questions"——
What if I can't get into college, but you don't?
What if I can't afford to be sick?
What if I want to go abroad as an exchange student?
Why do you want to stick to me so much?
We've been dating for so long, won't you get tired of it?
In order to ask the other party for an exact like.
Or from Cui Xiong's answers and reactions, find the clues of "I like myself".
It is completely the appearance of a young girl who faces love at the beginning of her life.
And Cui Xiong, even the ten reasons for hating Guo Yanxiu, are full of love.
On the surface, Yan Xiu is indeed very selfish and cruel in doing things.
Classmates asked her to borrow notes, but the way she refused was to tear the notes.
But for Cui Xiong's sake, she secretly glued the torn notes back and gave them to him for review.
Cui Xiong was admitted to the university, and she was happier than anyone.
On the surface, he does not understand social interaction, and he argues with people at every turn.
In fact, because Cui Xiong was bullied, she was angry, so she found someone to theorize.
Cui Xiong asked her to work for cherry blossom viewing, but she refused without hesitation.
But he quietly hid a handful of cherry blossom petals and gave Cui Xiong a romantic apology.
All of Yanxiu's shortcomings are visible to only Cui Xiong.
Her tough and competitive B-side is only revealed to Cui Xiong.
Therefore, when someone said that Yanxiu was not good, Cui Xiong would not hesitate to go back.
Different from the previous tit-for-tat confrontation.
When the two fall in love, it is all connivance with each other.
How deep is this relationship?
Five years after the breakup, Yan Xiu, just by paintings, text interviews, and a photo blurred to the point of making it impossible to see his face, can guess that the mystery painter is Cui Xiong himself.
And Cui Xiong, at a glance, Yan Xiu, who had disappeared for five years, took the initiative to find him.
The first thing that came to mind was, should I come to send a wedding invitation?
After being denied by Yanxiu, he couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, while duplicitously rejecting the cooperation of the heroine, he ran to the place where she worked.
For the breakup of that year, he was even more grumpy.
After the reunion of the two, the familiarity and tacit understanding are still there, and the old love is of course not over.
Yan Xiu talked about his "childish" time, and his eyes were dark.
If you care so much about each other, why break up?
At first glance, it seems that character determines the ending.
YanXiu was like a hen ready to fight, just like Cui Xiong saw at first sight.
Competitive, hard-mouthed, never conceding defeat.
Even in love, she wants to win everything.
Between love and school, love and part-time work, she often gives priority to the latter.
But Yan Xiu, who is so serious and serious, is actually very insecure in his heart.
Looking back at the sugar when the two were together, it was actually sweet and astringent.
Most of the sweet "strange questions" yanxiu asked were, if they were different and separated, what would Cui Xiong do?
All of her hypothetical questions, all she asks, are the other person's determination of this feeling.
Every question revealed her inner vulnerability and uneasiness.
She seems to be in control of the dominance of love.
But every time there was a fight, it was Cui Xiong who took the initiative to run to her and take the initiative to ask for peace.
Compared to Yan Xiu, who has to win everything, Cui Xiong has no ambitions.
It was never like Yan Xiu, struggling to live.
It's even idealistic.
Rare opportunity for further study, because I don't want to leave Yanxiu for too long, I say I will give up.
NJ (Lu Zhengyi), a female star who loves Cui Xiong, will shed tears when she sees his paintings.
His friend Kim Ji-woong envies the happy atmosphere in his home.
Yan Xiu was even more envious of his laxity.
No need to be responsible, not to be bound, not even to go up.
There are things to do with love, things to do with love, and do well.
It is the nature of retreating in spite of difficulties, and there is no self-consciousness to face difficulties.
The first attention and complaint of two people to each other stems from the fact that the other person has characteristics that they lack.
So attract each other, pay attention and care.
It is not that there is no love, but it is inevitable.
Too tight and unmotivated, diametrically opposed attitudes and gestures, will also cause estrangement.
However, peeling down another layer will reveal:
Being too nervous and unmotivated is not only a personality problem, but also a real problem.
The reason why Yanxiu is so pragmatic, so afraid of losing, wants to earn a good future for himself.
It's not because there's some big ideal to be realized.
And simply, to survive.
For some people, jumping up with all their might is a peak that others can't reach.
But for Yan Xiu, the best life that can be earned by doing everything he can is just looking for a job and living well.
In her life, except for Cui Xiong, it is all responsibility and burden.
Yan Xiu's family was already poor, and he had to pay off the debt for his uncle who had never seen him.
In the face of the heavy reality, she only wants "the level of poverty, within the limits of what I can bear."
Life forced her, tensely coping with everything, not allowing herself to relax in the slightest.
This is also why Cui Xiong has always become her, the first to give up the existence.
When they broke up, Choi-hung asked Yeon-so if she was the easiest thing she could give up.
Yan Xiu said that she could only give up on him.
At first glance, it seems to be saying that Cui Xiong is not important.
In fact, all she really had was Cui Xiong.
Because the family is poor, they can't afford to lose.
Because it is missing, it cannot be given.
Yan Xiu, who carries these realities, and Cui Xiong, who only wants to idle and comfortably and spend his life with Yan Xiu and his family, are destined to be on two different tracks.
Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand Yan Xiu's previous actions.
Every time she was unkind, just to protect herself from harm.
And being competitive and strong is just to maintain that bit of decency and self-esteem.
Yan Xiu, who was in front of Cui Xiong, was proud and inferior.
Because of pride, she was afraid of being discovered by Cui Xiong that little cowardice in her heart.
Even many years later, when Yan Xiu saw Cui Xiong painting on the stage, he would still envy the light in his eyes.
Inside is still inferiority complex.
Different real lives give birth to two people with different personalities.
At the same time, personality, in turn, acts on the choices and decisions made by two people.
Maintaining a relationship may not be simply love or no love.
Rather, it is a mixture of the limitations of individuality and the real-world problem of not having an optimal solution.
Yan Xiu and Cui Xiong are a broken mirror and a circle of love.
However, the ending of the reunion is not the focus of this relationship.
The point is how to use the process of recirculation to pull out the thorn that lies in the hearts of the two people.
Whether it is for Yan Xiu, who cuts off everything and refuses to leave; or for Cui Xiong, who is passively breaking up and does not know why.
This love is the "difficulty" in the hearts of two people.
One does not dare to deliver the true heart, and the other is difficult to face.
Ten years later, at the invitation of their friend Kim Ji-woong, Yeon-so and Choi-woong once again made a documentary about the meeting of the two protagonists ten years later.
It is reasonable to say that after experiencing the torment and torture after the breakup, Cui Xiong should not agree to make a film.
After all, too frequent contact is a torment for the two people who have broken up.
But it didn't happen, Cui Xiong agreed.
For him, the love with Yanxiu is like the peach that will be allergic after eating it.
When he was a child, in order to get revenge on Kim Ji-woong, Choi-woong coaxed him to eat peaches together.
And now, Cui Xiong's attitude towards Yanxiu is also like eating peaches.
Stabbed her and stabbed herself.
Even if there is no intention to hurt the other party.
But he did not hurt, and he was not willing, and he still had resentment against Yan Xiu for leaving him so easily.
You see, love is a lot like an allergic peach.
Sweet but hurtful, delicious but sickly.
The two sides tore so painfully and tangled.
Because of deep love, there is resentment, and only then will it stop moving forward.
Ten years ago, Cui Xiong, from when he liked Yan Xiu, can be seen clearly in the documentary.
But now he didn't even have the courage to face their true relationship.
Even when the two return to the rain, as they did ten years ago, find each other back and receive a kiss.
This "dare not" has still not been broken.
Yan Xiu was worried that Cui Xiong would not take kissing seriously.
In the end, it was difficult to pluck up the courage and began to face it directly, taking the initiative to find Cui Xiong to reveal the confession.
Cui Xiong began to fear and retreat again.
How do you get along after that?
The answer given by Cui Xiong is to be friends.
Very interesting answer.
Compound is afraid of injury, separated and unwilling.
So, take the middle value.
In fact, Cui Xiong and Yan Xiu are not unaware of their own hearts.
It's just that I can't find the right way to deal with this relationship that has been broken once.
When strangers, they can't do it;
Become a lover again, and you can't get over the hurdle of breaking up.
Therefore, when getting along in the name of "friends", the two are more natural.
One rightfully pushes off work just to be with each other all day.
The other is also a natural reason to lie in people's homes and not leave, and the excuse is that because I have never had friends, it is rare to have one, and I want to get along well.
So, the two ate together, retrieved the previous couple outfits, and even played electric together.
The more careful you are, the more you think about it.
The more serious and caring they are about each other.
And in the story of the broken mirror, the so-called "difficulty" is not precisely because of the fear of difficulties, lack of that little courage to face difficulties?
In the past, Cui Xiong was both active and passive.
In his philosophy of life, the first meaning of encountering difficulties is to escape.
But his escape was not just to escape, but to make what he thought was the most accurate choice at that moment.
Therefore, when Yan Xiu always walks away from herself, proposes to break up, or even avoids.
Every time, it was Cui Xiong who took the initiative to come forward and find Yan xiu.
After the breakup, Cui Xiong was tired and even scared of this state of one-in-one retreat.
Instead, Yan Xiu, no longer dodging, took the initiative to come forward.
Broken relationships can be re-repaired except for the phrase "fate".
More essential is a reflection on a relationship.
Reflection may not bring about the so-called change.
Rather, there is a deeper mutual understanding and tolerance between the two people.
Just like Yan Xiu after the reunion, he saw his former pride and inferiority; while Cui Xiong saw his passivity at a critical moment;
This may be a mature relationship, a benign state.
Therefore, whether it is really "re-round" is actually not too important.
After all, it is difficult to see and understand both parties in love.
Even overcoming that little bit of difficulty.
What is perfected is not only each other, but also oneself.
