Ahem, although I really don’t want to be involved with "5 to 9", I have no choice but to make it popular.

However, among the Japanese dramas this season, I personally feel that there is a love drama that completely surpasses the Mary Sue kings such as "The Domineering Monk Falls in Love with Me", and that is "The King of Mary Sues" starring Shinohara Ryoko and Eguchi Yosuke. Mature women are young." This drama also has actors such as Michiko Yoshise, Shosuke Tanihara, and Saha Suzuki joining the cast. Michiko Yoshise, who is well-known to more people for Hirugao, is believed to be an unexpected surprise for many people after seeing this drama.

This play tells the story of three women in their 40s who encountered emotional, family, career and other crises at that time. Of course, in the end, the sisters stood up and walked out of a new world on their own.

Very official, very old-fashioned.

However, the play is also full of all kinds of old jokes, which the audience knows very well, but they are very useful. Because it is beautifully photographed, old memes are a major feature of it, which will be discussed in detail below.

Shinohara Ryoko, anyone who has watched a lot of Japanese dramas will definitely be familiar with her. From "The Son-in-Law" and "Moon Lovers" to "Anego" which was popular due to its sister-brother love plot, and then to "The Last Cinderella" in recent years, she has shown her charm time and time again. Even now in her forties, she is still as bright and beautiful moving.

Nakahara Aki, played by Sister Ryoko, is the person in charge of developing a love app. She is 40 years old and her boyfriend is in a band. A rule of thumb for romance dramas: As long as the guy who plays in the band doesn't play the leading role, he must be a scumbag. So, the heroine came home early one day and caught her in bed... One more thing, the man in the band is Saito Takumi, the hero in "Hirugao", and he is indeed full of lust.

Then she met her second boyfriend, an editor. He is gentle and hard-working. He will go to the date place in advance to familiarize himself with the situation, and he has experienced dating Yaji again. But wouldn’t this take away the surprise of the date? The two of them were always polite, even to the point of kissing. After the kiss, the man could immediately start talking about work. This can no longer be regarded as incomprehensible. How can you be with someone who has no passion? So, the breakup ended.

The former one is a scumbag, and the latter one is a warm man. It is very dramatic. If there are no accidents, the heroine Aki Nakahara should find an "enemy". Therefore, the playwright Takayama Fumio played by Eguchi Yosuke has embarked on the heroine's emotional line. One is the Central Plains and the other is the Mountains. Such old friends have a kind of knowing smile. Here I would like to introduce you Eguchi Yosuke. He is Mikami in the super classic Japanese drama "Tokyo Love Story". He was very handsome back then. Although he is old now, he is still mature and handsome.

The female protagonist raises cats, and the male protagonist is allergic to cat hair, so every time they meet, the male protagonist will sneeze heavily. (I can no longer complain about this kind of old story, so much so that I actually find it cute.) The male protagonist used to be a popular romantic dramatist, so he himself can use various old romantic drama stories to preach and guide people.

At the same time, as a standard romantic drama male protagonist, he has a standard attribute: "tsundere". Duplicity is commonplace.

Worried about the heroine, she acted silently and firmly denied it.

When encountering a misunderstanding, I will never explain myself. I will force myself to confess myself at the last moment, then turn around and leave.

To avoid spoilers, I’ll stop here. However, this kind of contrasting tsundere becomes extremely sweet once the candy comes into play.

Of course, this drama is not just about love and love, but also explores the social pressure faced by 40-year-old women. In addition to being dumped, Yaji has also encountered rumors of sexual harassment and being framed at work.

On the one hand, the flower shop owner played by Michiko Yoshise is still managed autocratically by her mother even though she is 40 years old. On the other hand, she is played by the rich scumbag played by Shosuke Tanihara.

A single mother played by Suzuki Sunaba raises three sons independently. The son is optimistic and filial but still gets into trouble from time to time, such as encountering campus violence at school, making other people's belly bigger... Moreover, she herself is also trapped in In the ambiguity with his son's teacher...

Everyone has his own troubles and confusions. But the most heart-warming thing is the girls' parties held by the three of them from time to time. Let’s drink and complain together and laugh at each other. Hard days require a little sweetness. Although there are many encounters, fortunately everyone is finally relieved, which may not necessarily be beautiful love, but may also be independence and hope. Having friends around you to support each other is a great blessing in life.

In this drama, there is no Mary Sue, only "a person secretly trying his best to shine, and then being seen by the person who should see it."

So what if you are 40 years old? A 40-year-old woman can also be a girl. In the play, Gao Shan quoted Chaplin's line from "Spring and Autumn on Stage": "The beauty of a rose does not lie in how beautifully it blooms, but in her efforts to bloom... The key is the attitude towards life. Even without makeup, you can look from within. Exude beauty. First of all, you must face your true self. Is your bare face acceptable, or is it completely unsightly? ”

Face your bare face and dress up well at the same time. Because it’s not about making others like you, it’s about making yourself like it.

Finally, I would like to quote the sentence at the end of the first episode for everyone:

"Girls, have high aspirations."

Here are the Easter eggs:

p>

The most popular person in this drama is actually not Sister Ryoko, Uncle Eguchi or any of the actors. But this is Aki's cat, named "Kamaboko". Definitely the cat co-star with the most important role hahahaha. It's so cute that it's printed on the covers of surrounding books.

Let’s enjoy the cute cats together:
