"Southern Dance Hall" is really a person who talks about love, writing about the love and marriage of red men and green women, she has always been very transparent. The most powerful thing in her drama is not the terrifying waves and earth-shaking, but the real interpretation of you and me in life.
Not only the lines, dubbing, even the picture, the composition of each frame, are very exquisite, I really hope that such a conscience drama in China can be more.
"Margaret and David Mung Bean"
"I like you like me," David thought over and over again, and if Margaret was with him for that reason, David felt it didn't matter, at least his efforts had a role in maintaining the relationship.
But not all the feelings that have been given are valuable. Remember why you were with him or her in the first place?
The first episode says that love is basically "three pictures" (routine), every couple walks almost the same path, "shopping, eating, quarreling, reconciling" After the romance, you have to face reality.
David and Margaret were the same, in love for three years to their run-in period.
David (Norma Lam) is an honest taxi driver who lives in a step-by-step manner, without waves, and does not like new things.
Margaret (Zhou Jiayi) is different, she loves to play, greedy for freshness, pat for three years, has felt boring.
David went to the sushi restaurant to eat only cooked shrimp, did not climb the mountain, did not dive, did not ride a roller coaster, did not ride a motorcycle, did not drink coffee... These are the reasons why Margaret wants to break up.
Friends say, "David is a man worth marrying, he is so good to you, why do you have to break up" (this dialogue is not very familiar, I feel like I have heard it countless times).
Perhaps sensing Margaret's change, or possibly feeling that the time was ripe, David proposed to Margaret to live together.
It is difficult to fall in love with each other, it is even more difficult to get along, and two people with completely different personalities and habits have to overcome many difficulties in themselves to live together.
"She likes to brush her teeth after breakfast, but he has to brush his teeth before eating breakfast; she has to turn on the TV to fall asleep, but he can't sleep when he has light..."
Cohabitation did not solve the problem, but made their differences grow stronger.
When he met David's friend Zhao Zilong, an interesting and courageous person, Margaret cheated.
Love is always lost to greed, want to be stable and want to stimulate, want to get more courtesy, want to prove their charm. Feelings are really too fragile works of art, and if a person is distracted, it is inevitable that the end will be broken.
Margaret wanted David to be good to her, and she wanted Zhao Zilong to be funny.
Doomed, neither end can get it.
In this relationship, David also had problems.
One of the most common types of emotional kidnapping in the world is: I've been so good to you, why don't you still love me?
Unconditional giving is also not a healthy love.
Thinking that buying sanitary napkins for girlfriends is considerate, thinking that "always" sending messages to girlfriends is sweet, thinking that making breakfast is gentle.
Margaret felt that it was a disgrace and a burden. All she wants is a boyfriend who watches ghost movies with her and talks about meat.
Zhao Zilong, a very straight-looking man, you can't believe that he did all this and originally liked David.
Since graduating from high school and david's disappearance, he has been living alone for so many years. He remembered what David had said and liked. "I remember everything about you"
He plucked Margaret, eventually leading to the two breaking up. I prefer to believe that he tested Margaret's heart for David. Unlike those bottomless brain dramas, Zhao Zilong has never admitted to liking David, and his love has always been in the cupboard.
Emphasizing David as the "only" brother is the only way he expresses his feelings.
Diamond is David's confidante, she is beautiful and tasteful, living in a mansion and a Filipino maid, but her face is always sad.
Her lover has a family, and she is a little three.
Different from the small three used to brain dramas, even if she is pigeoned by the other party countless times, she will not "embarrass" her lover, and when the other party's wife is accompanied, she will take the initiative to walk away and not disturb.
She wasn't treacherous, unpretentious, not spilled, she just kept telling David that she was lonely.
David asked, aren't you destroying the happiness of other people's families?
Diamond asked, do you know that people are happy?
There is a feeling of telling the truth, and many people's marriages now are not - brothers in bed, roommates under the bed.
Each of us is like the people in "Margaret and David", in love, we have done a lot of wrong things.
Even if there is no cheating, perhaps like David, the way of love is not right, it is the same as hurt.
We are all Margaret, also David, also Zhao Zilong, also Diamond and Candy.
At the end of the story, Margaret chose to break up and face herself again.
David took the first step in his efforts to salvage.
Zhao Zilong no longer indulged in the middle school era and chose to start a new relationship.
And then there's Diamond, who left her married man and lived alone.
Everyone has gone through pain and struggle and finally chosen the right path.
As the opening drama of ViuTV, "Mung Bean" is really heartfelt, with a double harvest of word-of-mouth ratings, douban score of 8.9, ranking in the top ten popular Hong Kong dramas.
The narration of each episode is also very heartfelt, and the music and narration are not tired.
"Man, not always single-minded, there will always be a moment, will be moved by other people, and one of the reasons for the heartbeat is that he makes you recall happy memories." 」
