"Ordinary Road" is about to usher in the finale, but what I didn't expect was another Yangba new drama to go high and low.
Open high and go low, and even rotten ends, are not surprising now. After all, there are really too many years in this year, and often many dramas have amazing beginnings, but they fail to last, all the way down until the finale is rotten.
And for "Ordinary Road", as a legal drama, it is finally told from the perspective of civilians, not from the perspective of elites. But only in the first few episodes, the middle and late stages took a sharp turn, returning to the elites and returning to the routine. It was expected to achieve a breakthrough in domestic workplace dramas, but it was disappointing in the end.
The upcoming finale is still a reunion full of routines.
The first is Zuo Dajian's divorce case.
This case is throughout, from the side line to the main line, more and more bloody.
The girlfriend became a junior, and she was doomed to this incident from the beginning. And there were twists and turns in the middle, from persuading the teacher to Zuo Na's law firm to represent the case, and then to the father-daughter confrontation, the tug of war can be described as long. When it starts the moment it becomes the main story, it means that the show has deviated.
As a result of this incident, Zuo Dajian went bankrupt and was arrested and imprisoned for embezzlement.
Of course, seeing this tragic situation, Lao Chunxue was also soft-hearted, regardless of previous suspicions, and paid off her ex-husband's debt. And daughter Zuo Na also reconciled with her father, and eventually helped her father get out of prison. And the junior Cai Xiaolei also found out in conscience, issued a confession, and asked for forgiveness.
Although such an ending is satisfactory for the people in the play, it also loses its ideology and falls into the cliché. For the audience, it is not too enjoyable to watch, especially in the middle and late stages, the tug-of-war between the two sides is very bloody and boring. From the perspective point of view, the play has once again become an elite perspective from the perspective of civilians.
Of course, in the later stage of the play, it is basically an incident of the law firm's insiders.
In addition to Zuo Na, there is also Zhu Xinxin who encountered the scumbag PUA and chose to commit suicide for this, but as a result, he had to forgive the other party for money. This incident, at the beginning, was also a civilian perspective, and later it was found that Zhu Xinxin's ex-boyfriend was also a rich second generation, and Zhu Xinxin was the civilian or the victim.
The later it goes, the more rich second generations, Shu Yinan, Zuo Na, Baylor, small law firms, all deal with the cases of rich families, although there are ordinary people, but obviously rich people can make money, naturally become the dominant. But from the perspective point of view, it is far away from ordinary people, not to mention that there are many marriage disputes.
In the early stage, there was also personal growth, and in the later stage, they basically thought that the case was the mainstay, downplaying personal growth, and focusing on bloody events.
For Pan Yan, his parents also remarried. Wedding photos were taken, the wedding was reheld, and it was officially reunited. Although this was also predestined for a long time, the ending was handled more satisfactorily. In the play, the problem of Pan Yan's parents was also clarified very early, but Pan Yan was personally broken up twice, until the second complete breakup, which also became his regret.
Pan Yan, played by Guo Qilin, is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the play, not only has good acting skills, but also plays the reality of a low-level migrant worker.
After graduating from ordinary colleges, he encountered fierce competition from elite competitors, and at the beginning, he worked overtime all night for two consecutive days, but he was almost fired by his boss because of problems such as clothes and communication.
In the rather poignant opening, Pan Yan won the audience's favor with his humorous and down-to-earth broken mouth image. It has become an atmosphere in the subsequent plot, which not only relieves the embarrassment and tension between the characters in the play, but also makes the audience watch with relish.
Of course, his entire temperament image is very different from the well-dressed and elegantly talked elite crowds seen by the public in the past, and it is also clearly distinguished from Shu Yinan and Zuo Na, which is really a true portrayal of ordinary migrant workers.
In the workplace, his mouth is broken and flexible, and although his family conditions in life are not good, and even his emotions are frustrated one after another, it has not affected the hard work in the workplace, but he still maintains a positive optimism, works harder, and attracts empathy.
Among the current "tall and handsome" actors, a male protagonist like Guo Qilin has undoubtedly opened up another channel, which is also like a fish in water and naturally adaptable.
Although the play is no longer "falling in love in the garb of a workplace drama", it has become a bloody life drama dressed in the coat of a workplace drama, gradually detached from reality and returned to the elite again. Coupled with the procrastination of the plot, chaotic and loose, it led to a decline in subsequent word-of-mouth, high and low.
In the middle and late stages of the entire plot presentation, there are three parallel case lines in the same period, although there is a primary and secondary division, but it causes the entire narrative to be chaotic, and loose and not compact enough. It could have been possible to explore real problems more deeply and dig into the complexity of human nature and society behind the case, but in the end it could only be dealt with simply, or even interpreted to the blood.
Originally, I thought that I was aiming at the hard work of ordinary professionals, but in the end, I found that it was all parents who were short, and did not break out of the various stereotypical settings of traditional workplace dramas.
First Pan Yan's family, and his personal emotional disputes, then Shu Yinan's argument with his parents, and Shang Law in the middle, and finally Zhu Xinxin's emotional events, and Zuo Na's parents' divorce case.
These are somewhat different from the title of the play "Ordinary Road", and even go off-track.
Perhaps it can be explained from another angle, but it has deviated from what the public envisioned.
The later you go, you can see that the show wants more, but the result is nothing. "Ordinary Road" could have become an excellent workplace drama, but in the end it was still disappointing, but it's a pity!
