[Notes for Chasing the Drama] The "Chen Jialing" trend is re-emerging Those things that "Happy and happy from now on" did not say - "The Cultivation of a Common Girl 2"

Title: The Making of an Ordinary Woman 2
Language: Chinese Episodes: 10
Year of broadcast: 2021

Continuing the "Chen Jialing" craze in 2019, "The Cultivation of a Vulgar Girl 2", performed by the original cast of "The Cultivation of a Common Girl", Xie Yingxuan, Yang Liyin, Chen Zhusheng, Yu Ziyu and other powerful actors, may not be the most expensive in 2021. Taiwanese drama, but at least in terms of ratings, it must be the most successful Taiwanese original drama in the same year. Even though the first season has already achieved the best results of China Television's self-produced dramas in nearly 10 years, the second season is still out of the blue, setting a new ratings record again.

It also revolves around the protagonist "Chen Jialing", but compared to the first season's emphasis on running away from the "regular" society and pursuing herself, the second season focuses more on how she regains her rhythm and anchors her life, and Many major decisions have to be made. For the author, the first season was like a fairy tale, and it seemed to have a perfect ending; however, the second season made the audience understand that life is not about "living happily ever after." Among them, Xie Yingxuan's cry, "Why is my life so realistic?" not only captures the essence of the play, but is also a key factor for the audience to be completely immersed in it, crying and laughing along.

In addition to acting and plot, as the author of the square grid "Lin Zuo Ma" said in an article, the scriptwriters of "The Common Girl" and "The Common Girl 2" have strong line skills, so that these actors are still full of life in the play, and Unlike many works, it gives people a "light and fluttering" feeling. Even Taiwanese dramas, which often make people feel that they are "playing" in recent years, have passed the test perfectly with the performance of veteran actors such as Chen Zhusheng and Yang Liyin.

Although it can't be said to be an epic masterpiece, "The Ladies 2" has all the "good-looking" elements. For the author, it is definitely the most worth watching Taiwan drama work in 2021.
