The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (of adulthood)
This drama showed me the reality of adulthood, and I guess specifically womanhood. The three women have their own distinct personalities, ambitions, and values in life. (I don't wanna dwell on the men characters because men ain't shit lol)
- Nan Nan is deeply a romanticist. She seemed to me as someone who just ~goes with the flow~, lives in the moment, and cherishes her relationships a lot. She can quite easily connect with others then get attached. This is both her strength and a weakness as well, for she can get caught up or blinded by her emotions.
- Han Han can also be quite romanticist. She is firm on her beliefs, on what she wants and what she deserves. She got caught up with her feelings as well which led her to bend her own principles. Yet, her strong personality shine through. At the end of it all, she loves and respects herself.
- Han Su is practical and realist. If she wants it, she have to get it. Being competent is part of who she is which also both her strength and weakness. She is clear on her goals yet struggles to have a work-life balance. A non-nonsense woman but slowly showed her vulnerablity.
These three (I wanna add Zhen Cheng) are far from perfect but I love how they tried to resolved their own personal shortcomings. This story is a good representation of the people navigating their adulthood in terms of romantic relationships, friendships, career, and identity.
- The Good: Ah, Freedom! Free will at its finest. You can relatively do anything you want, be friends with anyone, and go anywhere.
- The Bad: But better face the consequences of your actions. This liberating feeling of adulthood also comes with great responsibility.
- The Ugly: Life challenges is inevitable. It would really challenge you, it could make or break you. It might even lead you to questionable or painful decisions that you never thought you could do - just to survive in this harsh world.
This drama speaks a lot to me as someone who is having a crisis in adulthood. This brought me comfort, and seemed to tell me "you are not alone."
