Remakes of classic Taiwanese idol dramas have become popular in the past two years. After "Meteor Garden" which made Big S and Jerry Yan popular, "Destined to Love You" starring Joe Chen and Ethan Ruan The remake version has also been aired, but the title has been slightly adjusted, called "You Are My Destiny", starring Liang Jie and Xing Zhaolin.
I believe that many people have watched the original version and have not rewatched it for many years. Now that I have seen the new version, although there are some adaptations, the context is still consistent with the original. I believe it can awaken the memory of many people, but I guess After watching this new version, everyone has new feelings about watching the drama.
Although many characters have changed their names, playing homophones of lizard, salary increase, and party A, the story lines of the characters have basically remained the same. It’s just that I didn’t notice their behavior when I watched it. So destroying the three views?
The male protagonist Wang Xiyi, played by Xing Zhaolin, still looks like Prince Charming when he appears. He is handsome, rich and capable, and he is also deeply affectionate towards his girlfriend, Anna, played by Fu Jing.
It was originally planned to give Anna a special proposal during the cruise, but Anna got off the ship temporarily due to her career. Even so, although Wang Yiyi was very disappointed, he was quickly coaxed by Anna, expressed support for Anna's dream, understood her behavior very well, and said that he would definitely wait for her to come back.
When the male protagonist saw the silly and dull female protagonist Chen Jiaxin, he did not bully her like some of the heroine’s colleagues, but was full of kindness. Not only did he reveal the true identity of the heroine's cheating boyfriend, but he also spent a lot of money to customize the heroine's look and make her look decent and defeat her ex-boyfriend.
With this opening, the male protagonist is simply the perfect male god in people’s minds. When I was a kid, I kept watching it with this perfect filter.
But looking at this plot now, I still changed my mind due to the male protagonist’s subsequent behavior.
Because Wang Yiyi originally planned to propose on a ship, but before Anna left, he had no time to cancel it, and the host mistakenly thought that Chen Jiaxin was his proposal partner. Then, in order to avoid embarrassment, the two parties acted out the procedure. They signed a marriage contract and then had another night of drunkenness and absurdity.
The consequence is that the marriage contract they signed is true and valid abroad, and Chen Jiaxin is also pregnant with Wang Yiyi's child.
Now that things have developed to this point, Wang Yiyi is already in a dilemma.
Originally, he planned to compensate Chen Jiaxin as much as possible and get a divorce as soon as possible. However, after the plan was interrupted by her grandma, she accidentally met Chen Jiaxin's mother. Under the pressure of their elders, they made mistakes again and again, and the two held a replacement wedding and obtained a domestic marriage certificate.
Then Wang Yiyi became a scumbag who had a wife and children but was still in a relationship with his ex, and had been planning to divorce when the children were born.
However, the two gradually developed feelings after getting along for a period of time. Wang Yiyi, who had been hanging on his ex-girlfriend for several months, faced the sudden return of Anna, and decisively stated that he wanted to be with Chen Jiaxin, and told them about their breakup. Much of the blame falls on Anna.
Unfortunately, Anna's injury relapsed, and Wang Yiyi had to take care of her again. Oscillating between two women, although Wang Yiyi always has a good heart, he is also a real scumbag.
Chen Jiaxin, played by Liang Jie, has shown an extraordinary "dumbness" since the beginning of the workplace. She has been bossed around by the whole company but still doesn't have a good attitude. She doesn't know how to reject others. She is almost alone. Finished all the chores in the company.
The same goes for relationships. I found a boyfriend who didn’t want to give and liked to take advantage. I refused to spend the night at her boyfriend’s house. After making him angry, I invited him to go on a luxury cruise and promised to use my credit card. . Not only is his ability to detect slag low, but his brain doesn't seem to work very well either.
Before boarding the boat, her boyfriend fell in love with someone else, but she had no idea.
After meeting the male protagonist Wang Yiyi, with the help of Wang Yiyi, he recognized the true face of his ex-boyfriend, but he immediately fell into the trap of another scumbag.
Chen Jiaxin came to Wang Xiyi's rescue with good intentions and played Anna to complete Wang Xiyi's proposal ceremony, but accidentally signed a marriage contract with someone and lost her virginity.
However, he still has the mentality of ruining other people's happiness and keeps apologizing to others. After knowing that she was pregnant, she actually planned to give birth, but she still had an attitude of not taking Wang Yiyi's responsibility at all.
First of all, it is very puzzling to insist on giving birth to the child of a strange man. He is obviously a weakling but wants to be responsible for everything. Not only does he refuse the obligation of the father of the child, he also stays up all day long. It doesn't look very smart to apologize to people.
However, some people think that the heroine is retreating in order to advance, and she has a true white lotus physique.
In short, as the age of watching the drama increases, the understanding of the heroine is no longer the simple and kind-hearted thing I thought when I was a child, and there are more and darker interpretations.
However, although the plot and characters have a completely different interpretation than before, a script written more than ten years ago is still interesting to watch today, which is actually a side confirmation. The charm of "classic".
What do you think of the male and female protagonists of this drama?
