Life is thirty is a hurdle.
Not long ago, there was a piece of news -
The 30-year-old single sister came home and was not allowed to enter the house and was ridiculed by her sister.
Whether it is a show or a fact, the fact that this topic can appear is outrageous enough.
Obviously, it is just a few of the most ordinary words, stacked together, it inexplicably has more layers of judgment.
It seems that a woman who is unmarried by the age of 30 is a failure.
Therefore, in order to get rid of this so-called failure, it is common to go on blind dates ten times a day.
However, can the value of a person's life be defined by a few words?
Of course not.
Recently, a new Japanese drama tells the story of a 33-year-old unmarried "failed" woman.
Just launched four episodes, Douban 9.2 points.
Today, let's take a look at this strongest dark horse of the year -
"Restart Life"
Brush-up life
The cast is star-studded.
Sakura Ando, an absolutely powerful actress.
A three-minute impromptu crying scene in "Thief Family" surprised everyone.
Xia Fan and Mu Nanqingxia are also excellent in appearance and acting skills.
Any cameo role, but also an actor of the level of Kuroki Hana, Someya Masuta, Matsuzaka Momolee.
Such a scene makes every episode of this show have surprises.

The heroine Asami (played by Sakura Ando), an ordinary civil servant in the city office.
The day was no different than usual.
Rubbing my sister's car to work, handling menial work, eating with colleagues at noon, continuing to work in the afternoon, and eating with friends in the evening to celebrate birthday and play.
Although I met an old classmate (Masuta Someya) who I haven't seen for a long time in KTV, there are no waves.
Originally, after saying goodbye to a friend in front of a convenience store, Asami's ordinary day would pass like this.
But the garbage dropped in her hands changed her life.
The moment Asami picked up the garbage, a truck roared in.
She's dead......
That's right, just halfway through the first episode, the heroine died.
However, the story has only just begun.
When she opened her eyes in the next second, Asami was already in a pure white space.
In front of her there was also a reception desk where a staff member sat inside.
By the way, this staff member is the screenwriter of this show, stupid rhythm
Without much nonsense, the staff immediately arranged for her to enter a new round of reincarnation.
Asami was very curious about what kind of person she would become in the next life, so she asked.
The staff patiently searched for information and calmly answered -
Great anteater.
Great anteater in southeastern Guatemala.
As for the reason, it is that Asami did not do enough good deeds during her lifetime, and Yin Virtue points are not enough to be exchanged for adults.
Asami was greatly shocked.
Fortunately, this is not the only option.
The staff provided another path -
Instead of being reincarnated into a new life, you can live the same life again as yourself.
You can use this to modify your life to increase your chances of being reincarnated into your target life.
This option is much better than becoming an anteater.
Asami immediately made a decision.
With the memories of his previous life, with the purpose of "accumulating yin virtue", push open the door of "starting over".
I didn't expect it.
This is a rebirth drama.
In a new life, the night of the 33-year-old car accident came as promised.
However, because of the "God's perspective", Asami survived the disaster safely this time.
In order to ensure that your "Yin Virtue Points" are enough to redeem tickets for reincarnated adults.
Asami, who has been living carefully since being reborn, breathes a sigh of relief happily.
As long as you continue to live a kind life, you can continue to be beautiful in the next life!
The previous life was like a second brush movie for Asami, and it was completely uninteresting.
Next, Asami can finally enter a new life in the unknown.
It's just that God seems to be going against Asami.
Less than 24 hours after the start of her new life, Asami was hit and killed by a car again.
This time on the way to eat soba noodles, she rode while watching the stars filming.
Looking at the familiar white in front of her, Asami stomped her foot in annoyance, how could she be careless!
However, at this point, it is useless to say anything, let's go to reincarnation.
Fortunately, Asami's previous efforts were not in vain, and she was finally not an anteater.
But it wasn't much better, this time it was mackerel, the Indo-Pacific big-eyed two-lined mackerel.
Asami was speechless and choked.
Mackerel seems to be a little better than anteaters, but after all, they are not people.
The staff said to Asami in a serious way-
To think that reincarnation as an adult is best is, in the final analysis, just human values.
For cockroaches, reincarnation as a cockroach is the best choice.
There is no distinction between high and low lives.
It really makes sense.
Asami was moved and planned to obediently go to reincarnation.
Unexpectedly, the staff said that although Asami's Yin Virtue points were not enough to exchange for adults, she could still choose to do it all over again.
Good guys, what kind of game can save your life?
In this case, I don't want to be the Asami of a species other than humans anyway, and of course I choose to do it again.
Rebirth drama, everyone is no stranger.
But most rebirth dramas have a "cool" word.
Or, the protagonist who carries the blood sea and the deep hatred, because he has the ability to "unknown prophets", seize the opportunity, change history, and reach the peak of life.
Or, the waste wood of the failure of the love career, because of the "golden finger", all the way to become a winner in life.
All in all, what is needed is a sea change.
But Asami's rebirth does not seem to be like this.
Because she carries the memories of her past life, Asami can easily achieve a good grade if she has divine help in her studies.
However, in high school, due to the obvious increase in the difficulty of knowledge, if there is a slight slack, Asami's ranking in the exam will lag behind.
So in the end, Asami III lived in the same university.
At most, it is the difference between "low scores floating" and "random exams".
After working, 33 years of social experience more than others only made her better integrate into professional life.
You have to bend or you have to bend, you have to be scolded or you have to be scolded.
Since your career has not changed much, let's take it off.
Asami once had a boyfriend (Matsuzaka Momolee).
But because the other party was addicted to gambling, Asami broke up with him.
However, in the world after being reborn, my boyfriend has become a super successful person who earns one billion yen a year.
So, Asami decided to renew her relationship with her boyfriend.
But because of excessive force, the two eventually broke up.
Asami can only watch the "annual income billion" gradually drift away.
It is obviously a rebirth, why is it so humiliated?
Because, this is the life of ordinary people.
Asami, 33 years old, has a mediocre life.
Even, in a sense, she can be linked to the word "failure".
Over 30, not married, not even a boyfriend.
Living at my parents' house, I can't drive a car, and I have to rely on my sister to send me when I go out.
Civil servants sound like an iron rice bowl, but they are not a good job, and they are frantically scolded every day.
Eating with friends, talking about the same things as before.
I will also gossip about the waste wood life of my classmates in order to ask for psychological comfort for myself.
But in the end, the most wasted firewood is often yourself.
Is there a sense of "the world is another me"?
And even if she was born twice, Asami went to the same school, made the same friends, and said the same things.
Perhaps the biggest change is that universities have chosen different majors and entered different industries.
As for "Jiyin De", it is also doing some ordinary things.
Pick up garbage on the ground and maintain the community environment.
Stop the classmate's father's cheating behavior and let the classmates have a happy childhood life.
Help teachers get rid of the stigma of sexual harassment and avoid teachers and pregnant wives falling into an unhappy life.
Many people see this and ask -
Since you have the opportunity to do it again, why not change your failed life and make your life better?
Because, for Asami, those so-called "successes" are not important at all.
Choosing "rebirth" is just a choice to retreat between two options that are not very good.
She never felt anything bad about her life.
Even if she walks the same path again, Asami still thinks popsicles are delicious, stickers are fun, and TV dramas that have been watched countless times are fun.
Asami, who is also single, and three friends, although they also lament that life is becoming more and more boring due to the loss of time.
But even after two lifetimes, eating, chatting, singing, and taking headstickers with friends are still the happiest things Asami thinks.
What if you're not married?
Asami, who is also single, and three friends agree that they will live in the same nursing home when they are old, and continue their happiness until the end of their lives.
Isn't that great?
There is no revenge, no turnover, ordinary is true.
This is also the fundamental reason why this drama is good.
There is a line in the play that is impressive.
Asami, who has not yet experienced rebirth, once discussed with a friend:
Why after the age of 30, it feels like time has become faster?
Don't you think that after the age of thirty, time flies super fast?
I've read this in books.
As if because the relative length of the year will become shorter.
For example, for a three-year-old, a year is one-third of life.
But for a thirty-year-old, isn't a year just one-thirtieth of life?
It's more than that.
Time has become faster, but people have more and more things that people have neglected and forgotten.
If she hadn't been reborn, Asami wouldn't remember that there was once a phone booth in the park near her home.
If she is not born again, Asami will not find out that her kindergarten classmate left because his father and teacher had an affair.
There are always things in adult life that seem more important to remember.
Therefore, "rebirth" has never been the focus of this show.
The screenwriter just used Asami's experience to tell everyone that cherishing and respecting every moment is the most important thing.
Retracing the path of life allowed Asami to reacquaint herself with some familiar people and discover a different landscape.
Asami's homeroom teacher in high school was a very annoying male teacher, who liked to go online at every turn, and everyone named him "Donkey Kong Mita".
During the school day, the teacher confiscated Asami's game console, which also contained her newly purchased game cards.
Twenty years have passed, and it has still not been returned to her.
Therefore, Asami was very happy when she learned from her friends that her teacher had been expelled from school because of her mistakes.
One night after being reborn, Asami meets her teacher on the train.
The teacher is mistaken by the female passenger for a satyr who touches herself.
Asami, who only wanted to see the joke, decided to help the teacher in order to accumulate praise for Yinde.
Unexpectedly, the teacher finally came to the door to solemnly thank Asami.
The teacher said that his wife was just 2 months pregnant, and if she was expelled because of this misunderstanding, the family would become very difficult.
After speaking, he also returned the game console to Asami.
Although the game inside has been cleared, Asami can't laugh or cry.
But she also understands that people have strengths and weaknesses, as well as their own sufferings.
Retracing the path of life also allows Asami to rewrite some wrong moments and make up for some regrets.
Asami's grandfather died of a heart attack in the "previous life".
This made Asami cherish her still living grandfather even more after she was reborn, and as long as she had time, she would visit her grandfather in the countryside.
It is really because of this that Asami, who is a pharmacist in her new life, discovers in time that there is a problem with the medicine her grandfather takes, thus saving her grandfather's life.
Retracing the path of life also allows Asami to pick up those missing corners in her memory and understand that change is not something everyone needs.
Asami and her friends met classmates in KTV, not only failed to pursue their dreams, but also had a failed marriage.
Because my current girlfriend is unexpectedly pregnant, I work part-time at KTV to support my family.
Sounds a bit miserable, doesn't it?
Asami thinks so too.
So after being reborn, Asami decided to help this classmate and solve this problem from the source -
Don't dream of being a musician, live your life steadily.
However, Asami, who had conceived of various options in her mind, finally gave up.
Because she recalled that her classmates were full of happiness when they talked about their current wives and children.
If Asami had changed the trajectory of his life, this happiness would not have come again.
You know, life has limits, and death and failure are our limits.
Understanding these limitations and countering them is the value of life rather than judging the success of others, rather than how to be born again and change their lives.
As the poet Pablo Neruda wrote -
Today is today
Carrying all the weight of the past
Open wings that will be the hallmark of tomorrow
Therefore, it is most important to live this life well than in the next life.
My colleague's sweatshirt reads: To be honest, I've relived it many times.
