Like Shadow

Today, I watched the drama performed in UCC named like shadow by Chinese drama group. It was fantastic!

It tells about a rebelled girl who is encountering a great revolution in her family, trying to figure out the truth behind her mother’s murder and her father’s disappearance. While her father and mother kept showing up around her, exposing numerous incredible secrets and finally led to enormous inspiration in spirit. The whole story didn’t follow the chronological way of narrating. It’s scaring but also a cliffhanger. It’s my first time to watch a professional drama show but I like it a lot. I was so impressed with the two main actors’ passionate performance. What’s more, the lighting facilities, stage setting, the music, everything is so perfect.

In this show, Mengru, the heroines, pretends that she has a beloved boyfriend when she first met Daqiao, her potential husband. In the following years of their marriage, she keeps pretending that this boyfriend is so rich that he takes her to travel around the world and provides her a cozy room in a castle in Provence when she has a fight with Daqiao. Daqiao gets so angry but Mengru says that the boyfriend is just an imagined figure. All she has done is just a stupid way that girls would do to prove her value in order to attract the boy she likes. In my opinion, this hook is definitely stupid. I myself would never do such things. I think falling in love with someone is the most sweet and natural thing in the world. If you can win a lover over by simply telling him or her that you have a good market then this one must not be your Mr. or Miss right. People say that couples in love have less intelligence. Maybe in terms of love, we need to feel by heart rather than brain.

On top of that, the drama made an analogy that there are actually some angles and invisible persons in our lives. Some angles keep running on their way that they lose themselves. So they get stuck in the gap between heaven and the world and become an invisible person. I quite agree with this idea. Nowadays, everybody is racing. They do everything in haste even without a short stop to enjoy the process of living. They would not even spare one minute to think about what they are doing and why they are doing it. It then cost their wings of flying to heaven to make them feel regret. None of us would like to regret about what we have done. So please take a breath, and enjoy life more.

This drama is really incredible. It deals with those realistic issues in our daily life. It teaches us a lesson about love and makes us have more deep thoughts about our lives so I highly recommend it.

  1. I used to have some prejudice of drama, because I think it is boring and a waste of time.But after your vivid and propfessional description,(which forces me to use my dictionary to understand those uncommon words)I began to changed my attitude towards drama and perhaps it is a wrong decision to ignore the drama........

  2. I enjoyed this drama, too. Its special design of the stage, lighting and passionate performance impressed me a lot. What's more, I think the idea which this drama brought to the audience is very thoughtful and interesting. Maybe there do exist angles around us, who cannot be seen by living humans. Or we are perhaps just the imagined roles in someone's dream, and once he or she wakes up, all of us will disappear. Who knows?

  3. according to your description, this show is quite wonderful. unlike those dull and stodgy shows, it deals with something more meaningful and helpful. these days it is true that many people do things following what others say. for example, they choose a major depending on what others say about it or how much they will probably earn in the future rather than what they are interested in.

  4. I'm impressed by your vivid descriptions.

    PS 'Angels' and not 'Angles'...if you continue with the wrong spelling, your angels may charge you 'protection money' the next time they watch over you.
