"Spring Sending Lover" was quietly launched on CCTV 8.

Although there is no overwhelming marketing publicity, there are two new-generation acting actors Li Xian and Zhou Yutong to take the lead, and there are old actors such as Liu Lin and Fang Fang to join, and the ratings are gratifying as soon as the broadcast starts.

"Spring Sending Lover" was filmed in the beautiful Quanzhou of Fujian Province, and the "Nanfang Town" in the play is also a place where mountains and rivers coexist. Don't be frightened by the overly literary title, after watching a few episodes, I was really attracted by the soothing and fresh scenery of this fireworks town and the real life characters in the play, only to find that this is not only an idol drama, but also a light comedy of small town life that can particularly resonate.

 The first few episodes have explained the background of the protagonist's life experience clearly, Chen Maidong (played by Li Xian) was unruly when he was young, and after his parents divorced and started their own families, he lived with his grandmother all the year round. Zhuang Jie (played by Zhou Yutong) was in a car accident when she was young, her father died, and she amputated her leg. Her mother took her and her younger brother to remarry someone else, and it was also when she was most helpless that she met Chen Maidong. Later, in order to prove himself and become a better version of himself, he worked alone to become a medical sales elite of a large company in Shanghai. Although he has a disability, he has a cheerful, tenacious personality and is full of vitality. The two reunite in their hometown of Nanfang and develop a heartwarming love story.

Two-way crush + reunion after a long absence + mutual redemption, this setting is too gripping.

 The e-person heroine with a long mouth and a long brain is a plus!//

 One thing to say, Sister Zhou is quite good at choosing books. There are many comments on the Internet that Zhou Yutong is a more "popular" female star, mainly because this sister has acted in a lot of workplace dramas, and the role creation is too real and affects herself, saying that her "colleague feeling" and "sister feeling" are very heavy, not sexy and beautiful enough. Let's just say, Zhou Yutong is super beautiful in this drama! The bright atmosphere is very infectious, the role of Zhuang Jie is particularly suitable for Zhou Yutong's own temperament, and there is a sense of literary and fashionable atmosphere, which belongs to the image of an independent, sober and confident light mature woman.

 Zhuang Jie returned to her hometown Nanfang to recuperate due to illness, and met Chen Maidong on the high-speed train, and did not hesitate to recognize her old classmates at the moment of recognizing him, and her e-person attributes were exposed. And when chatting with Grandma Chen later, she generously admitted that she did have a good impression of Chen Maidong.

In order to add Chen Maidong's WeChat during a meeting in the town, Zhuang Jie, a "social bandit", added the WeChat of everyone present, but he was still rejected, and kicked him in anger, and also broke his prosthetic. After being "saved" by Chen Maidong, he didn't forget to "tease" him, and he couldn't fix a serious Chen Maidong. It's kind of cute.

I have to say that Director Cheng is really good at filming, Chen Maidong rode a bicycle to "rescue" Zhuang Jie: the old alleys, the warm light, and the two people who are surging with feelings, who understands this natural and ambiguous atmosphere, with the emotional BGM, the deer collides, absolutely amazing.

It is not uncommon for the e-person female protagonist and the i-person male protagonist to have such a setting, but Zhuang Jie's social cow is very natural and comfortable, and it is not embarrassing at all. She is also very smart, and she has skills, strategies and courage in the process of "flirting with men", but she is not submissive. Such a generous girl is too rare, and He Yuanyuan's evaluation is the most pertinent: Our sister has always been frank and open.

Zhuang Jie, who pretends to be cheerful and has a sad background//

But the real Zhuang Jie has a distressing and sad background.

Zhou Yutong shared her own understanding of the role of Zhuang Jie in an interview: she is a character who pretends to be cheerful.

Indeed, Zhuang Jie's liveliness and brightness almost made us forget that she was a disabled person with an amputee, Chen Maidong's sentence "crutches can also be weapons" saved Zhuang Jie, who was sealed by crutches when she was young, and supported her through the lowest point in her life.

 Zhuang Jie's bravery and stubbornness in the play are not only sensible and independent as the eldest daughter in the family, but also to tell others that although they have a disabled leg, they can still live beautifully.

 Zhou Yutong's portrayal of Zhuang Jie's character is particularly delicate, which is inseparable from her own deep understanding of the role.

Although Zhuang Jie looks cheerful and generous, even a little skinless and faceless, in order to prove that she is not inferior to normal people, she walks and jumps, and when she has a meeting in the town, she also emphasizes that her job is to run around, which reflects that she actually does not really accept her imperfections. As a conciliator in the family, the love for her family made her hide all her vulnerability. Including when she faced Chen Maidong, although her words were bold, she didn't dare to have too many expectations in her heart. Physical disability is still the most secret inferiority complex in her heart, which makes her afraid of having it and dare not have clear expectations for the future. Although she was smiling in front of anyone, the sense of powerlessness that seemed to be nothing always lingered.

This conversation with her mother may be the truest thought in her heart. This is also the reason why even if she likes Chen Maidong again, she insists on going back to Shanghai. 

Chen Maidong, who is twisted but warm under the hard shell //

 Chen Maidong's character setting is also very poignant, when he was young, the breakdown of his original family led to his unruly personality, and when he grew up, the work of a body plastic surgeon became more alienated from others, and he would not and did not want to establish intimate relationships. Because he was afraid of parting and hated parting, he simply chose not to start.

Chen Maidong in high school must have expectations for Zhuang Jie, but Zhuang Jie transferred to another school, and for Chen Maidong, there is nothing in his life that can be kept, so at the high-speed rail station, he clearly recognized Zhuang Jie but deliberately put on an estranged attitude, and said that he didn't remember what characteristics she had. The classmate who lost a leg is considered to be characterless? This is obviously three hundred taels of silver here.

When Grandma Chen tried her best to match them, Chen Maidong also looked resistant, but secretly looked at the group photo in high school behind her back. In the memory, he and Zhuang Jie faced each other in the corridor dressed as two trees, from the awkward at the beginning to the time when they couldn't help but look at each other and smile, presumably this was one of the few warm moments he had back then. How could it be forgotten.

In the face of Zhuang Jie's overtures, the entanglement in his heart also means that the cement paste heart has begun to crack. These two imperfect people, who have wounds in their hearts, begin to test and pull each other, one is afraid of possession, the other is afraid of losing, but they can't help but attract each other. This kind of real, meticulous and heartfelt ambiguity is the love that can arouse the empathy of ordinary people.

Epilogue//

At present, there is not much conflict in the plot, there is no silly and sweet love brain, and there is no embarrassing bloody plot out of the sky, the overall is slightly bland but not bland, there are jokes and knocks, and the rhythm is very comfortable.

This is a drama that can calm the mind. Healthy love is not a one-sided pampering and giving, but a common growth and transformation. I look forward to seeing how Zhuang Jie and Chen Maidong open their hearts step by step, bringing warmth, healing and redemption to each other.
