Taking advantage of the waste heat, Mango Taiwan, which has never fallen behind, recently launched a female workplace drama-
dear self
Dear Yourself is the first drama of Liu Shishi's postpartum comeback. There are powerful actors such as Zhu Yilong, Adi, Peng Guanying and Li Zefeng (played by Xu Huanshan), and they have an unexpected fire in Die at Thirty with Nothing.
At present, the score of Douban is 7.2, which is more than enough compared with other similar dramas.
The story takes place in Shanghai.
The hostess Lizzie (Liu Shishi) is the sales manager of a battery company. She is beautiful, kind and enterprising. Her daily job is to travel in different cities, find customers, discuss business and sign contracts.
Chen Yiming (Zhu Yilong), the male owner, used to be the planning director of a company (later resigned). He is handsome, gentle and considerate, and is the "fairy boyfriend" in the hearts of many female audiences.
At the beginning of the story, the man Chen Yiming and a group of friends are busy planning an unexpected surprise-proposing marriage.
Unconsciously, the hostess Lizzie is still in Wuxi on business.
At the grinding moment when everything was ready, except for Xiao San, the half-sister (Chen Shi) suddenly found her boyfriend intimate with other girls from the pictures taken by the drone.
A happy marriage proposal scene turned into a group of "sex-catching" scenes.
When Lizzie rushed to the police station to meet Chen Yiming and his sister, a "huge debt" falling from the sky had hit Lizzie's head-because of Gu Xiaoling's entanglement, her boyfriend's uninsured luxury car and other cars scraped.
Shui Piao was hit by this elaborate proposal. Chen Yiming was a little depressed, but Lizzie was happy.
Why?
Because of fear of getting married.
Lizzie is afraid of marriage for two reasons.
First, because of family background (parents divorced).
Second, the self-identity is low. Although I am very busy at work, Lizzie actually feels very inferior. I feel impetuous and paranoid, and I don't deserve so much love.
Not long after the marriage proposal storm, the two men ushered in the bottleneck of their respective careers.
Chen Yiming resigned on impulse because he defended his employees.
Lizzie was forced to talk to her boss Yuan Jie (Zhang Yao) who had worked with her for seven years.
From the elite in the workplace to the bottom job seekers, Chen Yiming is under the psychological pressure of being chosen and humiliated, and at the same time, she has to take care of the emotions of Lizzie, who is also under great pressure.
Chen Can Yi Ming is so anxious that he can't sleep all night. How long can this situation last?
In the process of competing with the boss, Lizzie is always struggling. Emotionally, she doesn't want to turn against Jie Yuan. But intellectually, she doesn't want to disappoint her boss's kindness to see him. Besides, Chen Yiming's unemployment has brought some pressure to her more or less.
Therefore, different troubles and crises made Chen Yiming and Lizzie's later emotional trend confusing.
Let's look at Zhang's second daughter (A Di).
The design of Zhang and her husband Liu Yang () can refer to the design of Zhong He in Thirty. Slightly different, Zhang has a daughter and a mother-in-law (played by Yue Hong), which seems very troublesome.
Zhang He is a colleague and best friend. Although their looks are average, their abilities are average, and their economic conditions are average, like Gu Jia, they are bent on squeezing into their unreachable wife circle in order not to let their daughters lose at the starting line.
In order to enter the rich circle smoothly, Zhang spent almost all his spare time and energy on a series of thankless chores such as making cakes, planning and cleaning for people for free.
As for her daughter Yu Wei, she either gave it to her husband or threw it to her best friend. Later, for once and for all, she also recruited her mother-in-law who was originally in her hometown.
In this regard, Zhang has always been confident that everything he has done is "for"
As for Liu Yang.
At work, because of his excellent ability, Liu Yang was promoted as the project leader by the leader; In life, Liu Yang is not a wife slave, nor a daughter slave, but a foolish and filial person.
After receiving the bonus, Liu Yang's first thought was to give her mother 40,000 yuan and keep it for herself 1 10,000 yuan. Later, because Zhang flatly refused, she compromised and gave her 20 thousand yuan.
When her mother comes, as long as she and Cecilia Cheung have differences, Liu Yang will protect her mother indiscriminately and scold her wife.
Not only that, Liu Yang, who was a little "gone with the wind" after her promotion and salary increase, met a little girl who looked like Lin Youren at the critical moment when Zhang was busy entering his wife circle.
Spoiler over. Let's talk about the current popular workplace competition and the performance of several protagonists in the next play-
From the moment Yuan Jie became Lizzie's competitor, she has been suffering.
On the one hand, Lizzie has been with her for seven years, from right-hand man to teacher friend, and the relationship between them has already surpassed that of ordinary colleagues.
However, if Jie Yuan doesn't try to crowd out Lizzie, three months later, the person sitting in the position of sales director is likely to be Lizzie. At the age of 35, Jie Yuan, who is still raising a baby alone, probably has no chance to make a comeback.
Lizzie, 30, is still eager to get the position of director to prove himself.
The relationship between the two people also happens to be the phrase "only interests in the workplace, no friends."
You see, the status quo of working women born in 30+ is so cruel.
Zhu Yilong's face aside. You can play 360 degrees without dead ends, and some angles are very similar to Tony Leung Chiu Wai.
Chen Yiming, who couldn't find a job, had to cook every day to kill time, but unexpectedly, he was hit by an uninvited Lizzie. Faced with Lizzie's misunderstanding and slamming the door, Chen Yiming had no choice but to confess his unemployment to his girlfriend.
In this clip, Chen Yiming's accumulated grievances, depression and shame for a long time are properly expressed by Zhu Yilong's eyes and expressions, which makes people unconsciously enter the play instantly.
This shape is really amazing.
Liu Shishi's face value, state and skin are as good as ever.
Compared with some old actors in the play, the acting skills are not very good. For example, some positive scenes with company colleagues, the performance is still very bright.
But I don't know if it is because Zhu Yilong is too eye-catching, and I feel that Liu Shishi's performance in the play has not been fully released.
Compared with the image created by Adi before, the shape of Zhang broth dried noodles in the play has not made much breakthrough.
But both the humbleness and uneasiness with a group of rich women and the caution in front of her mother-in-law are portrayed quite accurately.
Especially with Peng Guanying height difference, cute and take.
Since "Dear Yourself" was broadcast, many viewers feel that this is another low-quality version of "Die at Thirty with Nothing". For example, the heroines of the two plays are girlfriends, Zhang corresponds to the clock, corresponds to it, and so on.
However, nothing more than thirty focuses on the transformation and growth of three girls, while my dear self pays more attention to the competition and pressure in the workplace.
Moreover, the part about the workplace in the play is also the place that causes the most netizens to sing bad.
So far, the two plays have their own strengths.
If you are a fan of Zhu Yilong and Liu Shishi, and you just love this kind of female workplace drama, then dear yourself can catch up.
