Long live SIMPS of China - a story about feminized men and masculine women
This show is the stereotypical Chinese feminist story where all male characters are actually women, and all female characters are more manly than Arnold Schwarznegger/Sylvester Stallone. Every single man in this show behaves, talks, cries, weeps, begs, cooks and takes care of house like a real woman. And every woman in this show behave like very manly men and expect the male characters to kowtow to them and take care of their needs.
Except one. The character Lu Wei Bin (played by Tong Yue) is the only REAL MAN in this show. And he commands the screen in the few scenes he gets as a supporting character. But his character is portrayed negatively as required under the rules of Chinese feminism. Still he shines in the way he conducts his life and wins against his opponents. The opponents also include his wife in the show - Jiang Jing (played very well by Cao Xi Wen). Tong Yue succeeds in overcoming the negative bias of his character and manages to command sympathy and support for his character despite the attempts by the screenwriter and director to turn him into a villain.
The other characters and their story arcs are just NOT interesting and can be safely skipped. Tong Da Wei is the star of this show and plays his character as a female to perfection. Tong hasn't had to play a real man in decades and his acting skills have atrophied so he is strictly confined to playing simps, cuckolds and feminized men.
Ultimately, this show is just not worth watching since it parrots the Chinese feminist delusion that ALL real men are evil and ALL women are angels.
The ending of the show was meaningless - all the men turn into women and praise the female characters, and all women become more manly and praise the (FE)male characters, i.e men who behave like women.
