I saw some people criticize the first few episodes of "Love Only" for mourning and slow pace. Usually I don't believe this kind of nonsense when I hear fans say that it's good to endure the first few episodes, most of the dramas are tigers and snakes, but "Love Only" is not like this, chasing all the way down, touching my conscience and saying, it looks good from the beginning, the first few episodes are about the life plight of urban women, and now it turns to the hard line of sports, it is getting better and better, more and more bloody.
And its beauty is not the kind of golden phrase chowder deliberately arranged for transmission, but a solid, heartwarming detail built, and it also has a feeling that you know you know it's made up, but it's very real. This is probably where it doesn't work well, you can't start with one sentence. If you have to give an example of a certain plot, there is a seemingly outrageous setting: the male protagonist is 22 years old and wants to switch from a badminton player to tennis, and when he looks at it, he wants to say, "Has the screenwriter not even watched a tennis game?" ”
But this thing in the play is self-consistent. First of all, everyone in the play who knows a little about sports will violently question this idea when they hear it, even the male protagonist's father is no exception, saying that there is no precedent for putting it in the world sports world, and the male protagonist himself is not particularly confident. He was not randomly opened with gold fingers, all gave foreshadowing, such as he learned tennis for two years when he was a child, he also liked tennis, and was forced by his mother to change to badminton, he has hobbies and foundations. Secondly, he is not trying to win the world championship, but in a local club, the current goal is not to set into the top 100 in the country, very steady.
The play gave him a test, physical fitness and other indicators are very good, willing to use the brain and willing to endure hardships, such a person can succeed in anything. One cool point is that he studied for three months and broke the serve of a famous coach, but the premise is that he studied the coach's serving habits and lines a lot, and specially practiced his serve to win, everything is much more reasonable.
It is rare to see such a slight design in domestic dramas, especially romantic dramas. Of course, "Love Only" has other advantages, such as Liang Youan (Zhou Yutong) is too much like a real social animal, and where can you find a big dog like Song Sanchuan (Wu Lei)?
Wu Lei's light and firm flesh, the appearance of plain face, sucking and sucking! On the contrary, it is the least worthy advantage of this show!
Some creators will fall into the misunderstanding, thinking that if the audience wants to see "strong women", it is enough to write a woman with high status, no! No female audience is willing to substitute for a female executive and a female lawyer, or a female president who combs a big oil head to tell chicken soup quotes, and is not as good as a female white-collar worker who really does things in the plot.
Seeing Liang Youan's work substitution sense is very strong, once she and the boss had a very unpleasant fight, or after work time, the urge phone rang again, she gambled for the first time and stuffed the mobile phone under the pillow to try to cover her ears and steal the bell, but the person next to the TV sound was turned up and turned up. In the end, he didn't hold back, and scolded himself while taking it: You are a!
Liang Youan's "strength" lies in the more core - she is a stable and self-consistent person at heart. There is a setting that is very easy to be scolded: Liang's father cheated on her in marriage in her early years and divorced and remarried, and she lacked money when she went abroad to study, so she asked her biological father for 300,000 batches to slowly pay it back, and still did not recognize this father after paying it back. You can imagine how much pity and support this biological father will receive in the traditional context, and how much pressure and accusation she has to bear, but she doesn't care, her father has never called, called his full name.
The problems she encounters in this play are both numerous and real, but do you think that people who can't even control the moral high ground will still be afraid of life PUA? The screenwriter captures the essence of sibling love, the reason why my sister is a sister is that she is the one who can't grind in life, otherwise she would have married and gave birth and gave birth earlier.
And the reason why the younger brother is a younger brother is that he is really different from those men! The character of Wu Lei has a feeling that Wu Lei himself is possessed, and the deeds of Wu Lei's brother do not need to be repeated, right? It is rare for him to show such carefulness, decency, maturity and respect for women at his age.
Now there is a second such person, which is Song Sanchuan, played by him. Song Sanchuan is a kind and gentle person with a full background, no matter how young he is, he also wants to do his best to take care of everyone around him, regardless of his or her family.
In the play, he will secretly stuff his hard-earned extra money into the cupboard of cancer patients, a bit of a holy father, but it makes sense in him, his mother died of illness, and his stepfather ran a wig shop opposite the cancer hospital for many years, providing some relief to the patients in their final period.
When we go on a business trip to play a game together, only he notices that his sister's room is close to the elevator entrance, which affects the rest, and he will take the initiative to change rooms with her. In order to get the company's funding, he drinks for his sister, makes games for her, grabs stools, and helps her flatter her financial sister, even if you don't have Wu Lei's appearance, you will very much want to have such employees.
The important thing for the younger brother is not his young age, but the heart that can penetrate the outside to appreciate each other's soul because of his young age and has not been contaminated by too many group diseases. When he was attracted to Liang Youan, who was shining at work, his eyes said "she is a wonderful person", not "this woman is very special to attract my attention"!
The younger brother was attracted to his sister almost at the first meeting, and without any disguise, even the opponents of the badminton team could immediately sense his concern for Liang Youan. But there will be no pressure to be liked by him, that gentle sense of proportion is the most fascinating to mature women, he will not suddenly approach, will not create inexplicable physical contact, will not say those plausible possessive words, all the dramas that write straight ball brothers come to learn - playing straight ball is not sexual harassment!
Not trying to control your life, but wanting to be involved in your life. He would whisper next to his sister wearing headphones: I want to be your strength. His sister pretended he didn't hear it, and he pretended he didn't know that his sister did.
Make your intentions clear in time so that you don't get into doubt and embarrassment. He would ask his sister, if the feather transfer network is successful, can you go on a date with me? Staring at you face-to-face, directly, watery and asking generously. In the buzzword, sincerity is a nirvana.
Maybe you have found from the screenshot that Wu Lei is not the same as in other dramas, because many of his shots are stark, and he thinks that Song Sanchuan is a professional athlete, sweating every day, and it is impossible to draw exquisite makeup. The title of the play is written "love", but it is not filmed in the way of idol dramas, but in the form of realistic dramas, detailing and well talking about their lives, no one is a love tool person.
Liang Youan did not have the aura of a big heroine, and she could not find a job two months after resigning, or her former boss asked her to manage the loss-making tennis club of the original company. This setting is very realistic, and most people in the workplace still have opportunities from acquaintances. The heroine did not twist her neck to refuse to speak, but accepted it very practically, without shame, which is the opportunity that workers can have.
Compared to Liang Youan, Song Sanchuan's background is much more dramatic, he was originally a talented player, but he has been living under the great pressure of his mother giving up his badminton dream because of him. Later, during an important game, his mother passed away due to terminal illness, leaving him with psychological shadows and serious sequelae, and when he saw the score of 18-18, he would be out of shape and have been in trouble ever since.
However, he did not heal the shadow with love like traditional idol dramas, shadows are shadows, how can he hold a person for so long if it can be easily cured? He retired, and later under the encouragement of Liang Youan, he took a salary of 6,000 yuan in the tennis club, doing all kinds of miscellaneous work, after the stadium was closed, he had time to practice, came at six o'clock in the morning, it was dark and still practicing, such a down-to-earth employee, really, it's good not to fall in love and be a colleague!
A particularly bad point in idol dramas is that the protagonists don't do business and only care about falling in love, but the two protagonists of this drama are down-to-earth strugglers and are not ashamed to do small things. The heroine said that what she admires most about Song Sanchuan is that he is the kind of smart person who does stupid things, which means that he uses his brain and is willing to endure hardships. Two people value each other's personality, not just appearance.
Netizens said that looking at the scene of Liang Youan and Song Sanchuan getting along, just looking at the picture is really not romantic at all, not a fairy tale at all, and more serious than brothers.
But no industrial sugar is the sweetest, the kind of adult love that slowly attracts, gradually falls, and is properly measured.
Of course there is hormonal attraction. The younger brother took his sister to run, and the sister had not yet run and her heart rate was already speeding. The cover-up failure was discovered, and the rabbit rushed out.
My sister was drunk and talking in my brother's ear, and the director was super good, and he took a close-up of his Adam's apple!
Even better is the touch of the heart. In the game about dignity, in order not to let Song Sanchuan be affected by the shadow again, Liang Youan quietly stood in front of the scoring board and blocked the 18-18 score. The moment he saw her, Song Sanchuan's world lit up.
And Liang Youan was inspired by Song Sanchuan's experience, resigned from the general assistant job, and leapfrogged over a tennis club full of pits as a professional manager. She had a passage that I particularly felt for when her brother made her realize that she was losing more collagen than collagen, and that was courage.
Liang Youan also has wealth that has never passed away with collagen, that is, the habit of thinking, the willingness to change and the ability to change. The step she firmly took changed Song Sanchuan's life at the same time.
The younger brother chased love straight ball, successfully exchanged the feather transfer net for his sister dating him, and confessed to his sister on the day of the date. Usually the plot develops to this point, the sister has long been unable to resist, coquettish and love, the two kiss and scatter flowers. But the heroine of this drama is not like this, she sadly refused, there are too many things she has to consider. She said to her girlfriend: "My goal is to take the club to an A grade, there are only two months, I have to think about 100 things in these two months, and none of them is to fall in love with my brother.
At the same time, Liang Youan is not a steel man who only cares about her career, she has been pitted by her ex-boyfriend, she is worried that love is too intense, whether it will hurt more seriously, this is a girl's very subtle but very practical thoughts.
The most valuable thing about "Love Only" is its appropriateness, usually the younger brother is brave in the sibling love story, and the sister just passively accepts the pursuit. But Liang Youan is not considering the secular difficulties caused by the age difference, but the professional ethics of a manager, and whether falling in love with players is fake public and private. You will very much want to be friends with her, age is not her burden, but confidence, she has accumulated a lot of wisdom that belongs only to mature women, and is not afraid of momentary grievances and only seeks results.
Song Sanchuan has excellent qualities that are rare among men on the market, and he is very uncomfortable after being rejected, but he is not depressed, and he will not pour dirty water on Liang Youan like a male colleague who can't ask for it. He motivates himself to work hard, to be worthy of his sister, and to have the opportunity to confess again. The barrage said that if you change the old man's confession once, it will shrink long ago, which is the good of the younger brother. Liang Youan was also worried about embarrassing to meet the next day, but he didn't expect Song Sanchuan to work with a more lofty attitude. I just want to ask: Is such a younger brother energy productive?
Now my motivation to chase every day is to see how Liang Youan saves the muddy tennis club, watch Song Sanchuan PUBG and drive a group of rich second generations, it is more burning than many dramas specializing in sports!
And love is just a matter of course. Love is good, but none of them have to be in love, there are more things with higher weight. But you can really see the happiness that meeting a good lover brings to both of them, and the courage to push them in the face of major decisions. Now many people have been enchanted by the performative love in the sweet pet drama, "he is super in love" has become a ridiculous joke, but "Love Only" made me see the true beauty of love - not who redeems whom, who spoils whom, but we are originally very good and self-consistent souls, even if the whole world is blind, we can affirm and appreciate each other
