This year's family dramas have somewhat disappointed the audience.

《Cheng Huan JiAlthough "Fireworks Family" is quite popular, the plot is a bit old-fashioned and failed to meet the audience's expectations.

《Small days》Expectations were high before the show started. After all,Chen XiaoPlaying a couple with Tong Yao must have been a feast for the eyes, but who knew that the plot was too bloody and the audiences were discouraged from watching it.

The family dramas that are truly worth watching are all waiting to be broadcast.

For example, "180 Days Restart Plan" starring Wu Yue depicts the affection between mother and daughter, and "Youth Facing the Wind" starring Liu Lin and Tian Yu has also attracted much attention with its strong lineup.

However, before waiting for these two dramas, I waited for "Young couple》。

CCTV's move immediately reversed the declining trend of family dramas. On the first day of its broadcast, the ratings of "Young Couple" were close to first in the country.

I watched two episodes in one go. The narrative style is brisk and the main plot is clear. If all family dramas are of this quality, there will be no shortage of viewers.

01Focus on real life

"Young Couple" tells the story of Zhou Quan (Guo JingfeiHe suddenly lost his job in middle age, and his wife Che Li (Yin TaoAs Zhou Quan's career was booming, he became a full-time dad, and thus began a period of joy and hardship.

The routine of some family dramas is that the more dramatic the plot is, the higher the audience's blood pressure will rise, and the ratings will also climb steadily.

But if you want to see such a bloody plot in this drama, there is really none.

The two dilemmas raised in the first two episodes hit the pain points directly.

One is the conflict between generations in the family.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the relationship between parents and children, are topics that families can never avoid, and these are ultimately intergenerational conflicts.

The origin of these conflicts mostly stems from differences in concepts, but the concepts given by age and experience are difficult to change, so the conflicts naturally cannot be changed.

In the play, Che Li teaches her children to be independent, sensible and graceful, but Che Li's mother (Xu DiThe father-in-law (played by Wang Yibo) dotes on his child without any bottom line. He gives his child everything he wants, and lets him play games as he pleases, and whenever asked, he always says, "The child is still young."

It is very common in life to see elders doting on their children. Their educational concepts are completely different from those of young people.

The huge difference in concepts is more directly exposed through the issue of educating children.

This intergenerational conflict not only applies to educating children, but also to all aspects of life. If it is not handled properly, it will be like having an active volcano in the home, which may suddenly erupt during any crustal movement.

The second is the life difficulties faced by middle-aged people.

The midlife crisis is a time point that makes countless middle-aged people anxious.

When people reach middle age, they have elderly parents and young children to take care of. No matter what they do, family is a factor they must take into consideration. The word "doing whatever they want" is almost impossible to describe to them.

In the play, Zhou Quan was forced to work overtime by his new boss and had no way to deal with the fight between his children. However, when his boss asked him to work overtime, he ran away and took his family on vacation.

Che Li also struggled with signing the contract because of the issue of her children.

They have made a name for themselves in their respective fields, but seem to always be caught in the choice between work and family. Life forces them to make this choice, and family has become an inseparable part of them.

However, judging from the plot, Zhou Quan will face a greater crisis to come.

It can be said that this drama revolves around the family, taking the identity transformation of the couple as an opportunity to show the different life concepts of three generations.

This drama returns to the essence of a family drama, incorporating warm and noisy daily life into it and showing the real state of life.

02Many first-class actors and actresses, strong lineup

Looking at the luxurious cast before the show started, the expectations were already high.

In the main film, the performances of the talented and veteran actors did not disappoint the audience.

First, Yin Tao.

In recent years, Yin Tao has not appeared many times in domestic film and television dramas. Although the quality of the dramas varies, Yin Tao's acting skills have never dropped.

In the new drama, Yin Tao plays the full-time mother Che Li. She originally regarded writing as a hobby, but suddenly she became popular on the Internet, publishing books, holding book signings, and her career is in full swing.

In the drama, Che Li looked at the room full of fans at the book signing event with disbelief in her eyes and shock. She was surprised but also a little nervous.

Yin Tao's acting skills are as stable as ever.

Second place, Guo Jingfei.

Urban dramas are definitely Guo Jingfei's home turf. If we talk about the most impressive role, it must be "All good》, a mama's boy with no opinion and selfishness, makes people angry whenever they recall him.

In the new drama, Guo Jingfei plays Zhou Quan. Although his name is Zhou Quan, he has nothing to do with the word Zhou Quan when it comes to doing housework.

Guo Jingfei looks a lot fatter in this drama, but his image is quite consistent with the identity of a programmer and the character's personality, and also adds a bit of humor to the role.

The most impressive thing about Zhou Quan in the play is his vivid little expressions. Listening to Che Li's mother and Che Li complaining, he chewed some food with his eyes downcast, his face full of grievance.

He completely grasped the temperament of the character Zhou Quan.

The third one is Xu Di.

National first-class actress Xu Di is also a "professional mother" in domestic dramas.

《My First Half of Life》《Ideal City》《Star Han Cancan》she contributed superb acting skills and portrayed mothers with various personalities.

In the new drama, Xu Di plays Che Li's mother, who has a hot-tempered and impetuous personality. Wherever she appears, there will be no peace.

In the play, she looked at her grandson with a smile so sweet that her teeth were showing.

When he heard Che Li educating her children, he instantly performed the "Sichuan Opera Face Changing", frowning and looking unhappy.

Xu Di is indeed a veteran actor and can play any role well.

Fourth place,Zhang Yunlong。

Although Zhang Yunlong is not very popular, his acting skills are remarkable

In the new drama, he plays the male protagonist's friend Yuan Yi, a mature workplace elite who looks casual and free but is actually steady and reliable.

The emotional line between him and Qi Xi's character in the play is also quite interesting, and the subsequent transformation of the character Yuan Yi is worth looking forward to.

In addition, veteran actors such as Han Tongsheng and Yue Hong will also appear in subsequent plots, and their acting skills are the biggest guarantee of this drama.

03 Conclusion

The reason why "Young Couple" can capture the hearts of the audience is that it captures the essence of family drama.

Some family dramas try to take a different approach and mix too many elements into the drama, so that what they should and want to say are not made clear.

Others, in order to attract attention, present melodramatic plots to the fullest, but the plots are superficial and lack the family affection that a family drama should show.

"Young Couple" returns to the essence of "family", puts aside irrelevant settings, and develops the plot around family and life, allowing the audience to feel the power of family affection.

As long as the plot rhythm can be maintained in the future, "Young Couple" is expected to break the ceiling of family dramas and reach a new peak.
