What I want to recommend today is a debut drama from HBO.
Some friends may be confused. HBO has been established for many years, so how can it make its debut?
Actually, Shajie refers to HBO’s streaming media platform.
5.27, HBO officially announced the launch of its new streaming media platform HBO Max.
In the past, HBO also had such platforms, such as HBO GO and HBO Now.
But these are more like an accessory of HBO, mainly providing some original content of HBO.
But we know that HBO has always had the characteristic of "less but better".
Its video volume is far less than that of some streaming media giants Netflix, hulu, Disney...
So HBO Max came into being.
It not only contains its own original content, but also many IPs of Warner Bros. Pictures, all works of DC Films and Studio Ghibli.
This move will undoubtedly greatly increase HBO’s audience.
But a question also arises:
Will this break the original intention of "content is king" that they have adhered to since their establishment?
Today, HBO Max’s debut drama is here, let’s take a look!
" Love Life " Season 1
Love Life season 1
Looking at the title and poster, I thought it was a fresh love drama.
But don’t be fooled by this illusion. How could HBO make a romantic drama so simple?
In one sentence:
Taking care of the kidneys is its characteristic, but taking care of the heart is its label.
On the surface, this play is about a love story, but in fact it wants to discuss the growth of women in this process through love.
1
The heroine Darby (Anna Kendrick) is an ordinary "New York drifter".
Like many young people, they work hard during the day and go out to bars after get off work at night.
It can be said that she lives a fulfilling life every day.
But she always felt a sense of loneliness. In order to fill the emptiness in her heart, she often changed her boyfriend.
She hopes to make herself feel better by adding freshness.
With this background, the biggest highlight of this drama is:
The heroine will change her boyfriend in every episode.
Of course, Darby becoming like this has a lot to do with her experience as a child.
Little Darby had a broken native family in his childhood.
When she was very young, her parents divorced and each started a new family, but they had no idea who their daughter would be with.
So Darby was like a football, sometimes living with his mother for a while, and then being sent to his father for a while.
This kind of life without a fixed place made her feel like a superfluous person that no one wanted.
Therefore, she desperately longs for friends and hopes that someone can really care about her.
A very typical example:
In her childhood, in order to talk to a little boy, she would take him home even if she got lost.
This long-term lack of love made her develop a pleasing personality.
This made her very passive in love when she grew up.
2
The first romance in the film comes from Aji.
Aggie is different from many of the boys Darby has met before.
takes the initiative not to say anything, but is also very skilled in "picking up girls".
At the party, he first used the excuse that he couldn't choose the playlist and asked Darby to help him choose.
In fact, he had already selected the songs, and then when the songs were played, he invited Darby to sing together affectionately.

takes the initiative not to say anything, but is also very skilled in "picking up girls".
At the party, he first used the excuse that he couldn't choose the playlist and asked Darby to help him choose.
In fact, he had already selected the songs, and then when the songs were played, he invited Darby to sing together affectionately.
Darby, who pursues freshness, loves this sense of surprise!
The two chatted happily, and that night they...
What Darby didn't expect was:
The next day, Aji just jotted down her phone number and promised to call and left.
One day has passed, and his call has not come... It's okay, I'll just wait.
The next day, there was still no call. He must be busy with work. He must be a serious and responsible person for his work!
On the third day, there was still no call. He was about to collapse. Could something have happened to him? How about I call over?
...
In this aspect, it can be said that this drama vividly depicts the thoughts of women when they are in love.
Of course, not contacting Darby was Aji’s little idea and his method of playing hard to get.
The purpose is to rekindle the sense of freshness when we meet for the second time.
I have to say that Aji is a master in love, but such a master in love often has a high chance of becoming a scumbag.
During the period of love, Aji was very kind, meticulous and considerate to Darby.
But once life comes to daily necessities and they have to run for it, love will come to an end.
The reason for the breakup is:
Aji is going to work in Washington and may take root there. He is not confident that he can maintain a long-distance relationship forever, so it is better to end the relationship as soon as possible.
But the scene changed, and not long after, Aji was shopping in New York with his new girlfriend, and Darby happened to catch him in this scene.
Logically speaking, this Aji would die of embarrassment.
But he performed a series of golden sayings "As long as you don't feel embarrassed, then the embarrassment will be someone else's".
not only introduced his new girlfriend generously, but also told her that he quit his previous job in Washington for his new girlfriend’s global travel!
This is so infuriating!
In the final analysis, their previous relationship Aji was not serious at all.
Darby, on the other hand, devoted himself wholeheartedly, and even thought that he was the one who would become her husband.
This kind of wrongly paid sincerely made Darby particularly uncomfortable.
The pleasing personality caused by her native family made her paralyzed in this relationship.
Although it was obvious that he was a scumbag, it was a pity that she couldn't see it at all. At this time, she didn't have the ability to distinguish between scumbags.
Failure in love is also expected.

It took a full year for her to get over the sadness of being broken up in love.
The new boyfriend who ends her misery is her former boss, Bradley.
Although there is a slight age gap, the beginning of their love is equally exciting.
Darby didn't mind whether he smoked or not, and could still admire his favorite paintings, and always looked at him with a hint of admiration.
This made Bradley feel very relaxed with Darby, and the two chatted happily.
After the relationship was established, Darby moved into Bradley's apartment.
Bradley is a typical rich second generation. He was born in a celebrity since he was a child, and all his friends are rich or noble.
And Darby is just a working man who lives in a house with his friends.
The two of them are in different classes.
In order to maintain this relationship, Darby made great efforts.
She tried hard to package herself, wearing expensive and beautiful clothes, but not very comfortable.
signed up for a training class to supplement photography that I didn’t like.
Gradually she became less like herself.
She is Bradley's girlfriend, but she is no longer Darby.
The pleaser personality is at work again. For Bradley and this relationship, she has been working hard to catch up, trying to become someone worthy of him.
This kind of sacrificial compromise is destined that the relationship between the two will not last long.

Next, Darby made many boyfriends one after another.
She was constantly hurt, constantly refreshing her understanding of love, and gradually learned how to love.
This is the greatest value of this drama.
Because to some extent, experiencing pain is also part of the pursuit of love.
It is said at the beginning of this play:
According to statistics, on average, a person will go through seven relationships before finding true love.
Of these relationships, two are often long-term, while the rest are short-term indulgences, casual dates and one-night stands.
The average person will fall in love twice and be heartbroken twice in these relationships. Why does
take so long? Is it bad luck?
Of course not, this data does not mean that we have to go through 7 failed relationships before we find true love.
But it means that before true love, most of us have been hurt and have been prisoners of scarred love.
Maybe it’s because of your own personality, maybe the other person is too scumbag and we can’t tell the difference, maybe they broke up suddenly...
In short, there are all kinds of strange reasons for the failure of love.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t deserve love.
Failed love, only then can we find the source of our misfortune and then heal ourselves.
Failed love can also make us understand ourselves better and better.
As you walk, that TA will appear.
In the final analysis, the person who will be with you for life may not necessarily be the person who will bring you happiness.
But he must be the person you meet when you have the ability to be happy!
So no matter how many times you have failed in love, never give up on love and never give up on yourself.
