Has there been a bit of a rumor in the Taiwan drama industry recently, and everyone is saying that the Taiwan drama has turned over and is in charge? Has the idol drama that I chased in those years become a good memory, but now the Taiwan drama has played a profound role? Take "We Are Not Kind Enough" as an example, this drama is not like a shot in the arm for the Taiwan drama industry.
I remember the previous Taiwanese dramas, and I will know that they are all those routines of "young and beautiful boys and girls", "sweet love", and "three hundred misunderstandings". However, feng shui takes turns, and now this wind has blown towards realism. "We Are Not Kind Enough" is such a drama, it is not the kind of drama that makes you want to lie in bed and daydream after watching it, but makes you sit on the sofa, and you may unconsciously touch your conscience and think "Why am I so tired in my middle-aged life?".
Let's talk about the two heroines of this show, Jian Qingfen and Rebecca. One secretly compares the life of her husband's ex-girlfriend on social networks, and the other has a successful career but accidentally becomes a third party in someone else's marriage. Two women, each with their own pains and challenges, struggle in this world that is not kind enough. Looking at their stories, you will find that this is not the epitome of real life? The living conditions and psychological struggles of middle-aged women are vividly displayed in this drama.
Moreover, if you look at the Douban score of this drama, it has soared from 8.5 to 8.7, which is not a cover for such results in today's film and television market full of dramas. Has Taiwanese drama begun to refuse to only have the sweet dream of "pink bubbles" and turn to the embrace of realism? This is not only a change in style, but also a profound cultural consciousness.
You think, in the previous idol dramas, after watching it, the most I could do was sigh, "Oh, if only real life were so beautiful." But after watching the current Taiwanese drama, you may think deeply, "I seem to have encountered the problems in this drama, how to solve them?"
I have to mention that the transformation of Ariel Lin and Xu Weining, who have grown from youth idols to mature actors, also represents the growth of Taiwanese dramas. From the youthful campus of "Mischievous Kiss" to the middle-aged struggle in "We Are Not Kind Enough", this is not only the leap of the two actors, but also the progress and maturity of the entire Taiwanese drama industry.
Therefore, when we see that Taiwanese dramas are no longer just doing some "dream" business, but beginning to seriously explore real problems and dig out the deep-seated emotions and dilemmas of the characters, can we say that Taiwanese dramas have successfully labeled themselves as "next level"?
And for the audience, this is also a new experience of watching the drama. We are no longer just chasing stars, but also learning how to face life and how to solve problems through dramas. This transformation of the way of watching the drama not only satisfies the audience visually and emotionally, but also grows spiritually and intellectually.
In the end, if you still stay on the old concept that "Taiwanese dramas are idol dramas and frivolous", then you really have to say that you are out. The current Taiwanese dramas have begun to move towards depth and reality, and have begun to touch on the life problems that each of us will encounter to a greater or lesser extent. "We Are Not Good Enough" is not just a drama, but more like a mirror, reflecting our own lives, our predicaments, and our imperfections.
Is this transformation of Taiwanese dramas really next level? This question, perhaps we can find the answer at every moment we click to play.
