The recently hit family drama "Cheng Huan Ji" has finally come to the finale, this drama has gone from being mediocre at the beginning, to becoming more and more exciting later, and the response has been very enthusiastic.
But the arrangement of the finale surprised many viewers, with unacceptable regrets.
"The Story of Chenghuan" tells the story of the struggle of Mai Chenghuan, a Shanghai girl from an ordinary family.
She encountered all kinds of difficulties at first, and was even despised by her fiancé's family, but later gradually made achievements in her career with her own efforts, and also won the affirmation and support of the younger generations in her life.
The biggest highlight of this drama is that it creates a positive image of a modern woman who dares to pursue her dreams, which has a strong sense of substitution and inspiration for young people today.
The beginning of this drama is relatively bland, even a little contrived. The character of Mai Chenghuan has a typical "protagonist aura", and the difficulties she encounters can be easily resolved.
This is quite different from the experience of ordinary people and is not real enough. And her breakup with her boyfriend is also a bit far-fetched. These have affected the audience's investment in the plot.
As the plot progressed, Mai Chenghuan began to make achievements in his career, and the conflict between the two gradually took a turn for the better.
Mai Chenghuan began to hold important positions in the company and had a successful career, which brought more exciting episodes to the plot. The audience also changed from the initial disdain to the support and love for Mak Chenghuan.
However, the arrangement of the finale was unexpected and left a deep regret on the audience. Mak Chenghuan's mother and grandmother died of illness one after another, and she finally failed to be with the actor Yao Zhiming.
In particular, the sudden death of my grandmother was even more unacceptable. This kind of finale is too tragic, which forms a strong contrast with the positive energy that has always been contained in the play, and fails to meet the audience's expectations for perfect love.
Analyzing, this finale design may have the following considerations:
Break through the cliché and pursue innovation. Traditional dramas all end successfully, but "The Legend of Cheng Huan" dares to break through the inherent mode and end in tragedy, giving people a sense of sadness and displacement, which increases the dramatic effect.
Leave a sequel in suspense. This kind of open-ended ending leaves a foreshadowing, and it is possible that a sequel will be launched to meet the audience's expectations.
Highlight the topic. Birth, old age, sickness and death are fates that every ordinary person cannot escape, and the finale emphasizes the impermanence and cruelty of reality.
Despite this consideration, this finale arrangement is still inappropriate: it is incompatible with the play's usual positive theme, and it is too abrupt to make the audience accept it psychologically.
Overall, "Cheng Huan Ji" has won the recognition and love of many audiences for its distinctive image of modern women and gripping inspirational stories.
But there are also shortcomings in the plot setting, especially the arrangement of the finale is a bit sharp and unsatisfactory.
This drama may be a useful exploration of family ethics dramas, but it still needs to be further optimized in character portrayal and plot advancement to show higher artistic taste and social value.
