On the evening of May 19, the TV series "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You" Mango TV premiered in multiple episodes. Whether it is the title of the tv series or the materials announced in the early stage, it carries the visual sense of a bad drama. In addition, Mango likes to broadcast those bad love dramas very much, so the drama is not expected by the audience.
However, after watching many episodes of this TV series, the old editor felt as if he had discovered Pu Yu. This is a relatively high-quality TV drama work that is too easy to ignore. Of course, to say that it is excellent is an overly flattering statement, but it is still very fair to say that it is a relatively good play in recent times. This is really not the kind of mango-style rotten love drama that is imagined.
"I don't want to be friends with you" begins with a bit of realism. The heroine is a seventeen-year-old high school girl who does not work hard in school and often skips school late. The mother is a single mother, raising her daughter alone, and the father does not know where to go. The mother's life is very hard, but there are various misunderstandings between mother and daughter. The story unfolds in this dilemma, making the audience more willing to believe that this dilemma is real.
Later, our young heroine was sweating in the bathhouse in the northeast, and as a result, she was confused. Later in the plot, we can say that this is a crossing, or it can be said that the heroine has been confused for a while, and "Charlotte Troubles" is a road number. Let's call this a crossing.
The seventeen-year-old heroine crosses back to her mother's eighteen-year-old and becomes good friends with her eighteen-year-old mother. Although the two have different values and often make jokes, eventually the heroine begins to understand the state of an eighteen-year-old mother. After the heroine returns to reality, she begins to reconcile with her mother. This plot path does not seem to be new, and many classic Hong Kong films have been used. Later, a popular "writer" after the 80s also directly "took it" for a while.
However, "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You" I think is a wonderful work in this kind of cross-over drama, and its level is beyond the "take-ism" film works of some writers and internet celebrity directors. Why? Because this TV series is more realistic, it can hang the era and region to which it belongs. This is the part that the influencer writer can't achieve after becoming a director.
In this TV series, the regional and era style of the Northeast around the new millennium is very clear. In particular, the large bathhouses in the northeast, which have typical regional characteristics, appear intensively in the first episode of the TV series. This very clever regional symbol makes the audience more willing to believe that this TV series is very real.
Coupled with the scene of ice and snow in the northeast, it is really impossible to appear in other regional environments. In the plot, many actors even have their own Northeast accents, making this TV series full of sitcom laughs. This is the truth of environmental construction and character building, and this kind of truth makes this TV series a relatively good work. At present, the drama in Douban is a five-star praise. There is a four-star, which the old editor has just given, after all, it is still a little far from excellent.
A TV drama work can get such a unified rating from the audience, which naturally has its superiority. Obviously, "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You" should be among the leaders of recent TV drama works, which not only has some value to watch, but also has a relatively good background of realism. In terms of emotional conflict, the contradiction between the two generations eventually becomes a "smile and a grudge" between friends through this cross-over mutual understanding.
Because of the effectiveness of the plot, it brings the fullness of the acting skills of the male and female protagonists. I have to say that when we evaluate the acting skills of actors, we must put them into the specific plot. No matter how good an actor encounters a script with an invalid plot, he cannot form an advantageous acting expression, Song Dandan is not good, and Li Chengru is not good. This exists objectively. The plot of "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You" is real and effective, giving the actors more room to perform.
In terms of the male protagonist Zhou Yanchen, his acting skills are relatively poor, but because he has a relatively good script as a support, the characters he presents are also vivid and cute. In terms of the heroine Chen Haoyu, her acting skills are very strong and she has completed the role well. In particular, Chen Haoyu's more neutral outfit in the play provides more space for his acting skills. If you don't speak with beauty, you're already halfway through, for actresses.
The drama obviously belongs to a small and exquisite work, and the plot of 24 episodes can also be regarded as a representative of short and fast. Emotionally conveyed, this is a work of positive energy, and the story statement is very interesting. Just the name, too easy to think of as a bad drama. That being the case, the old editor should still help recommend it. Audiences interested in this type of TV series should not miss this work.
