Taiwanese dramas in the past few years have been making hits with bold themes and a style that directly hits the pain points.
The just-finished "She and Her Her" focused on the various "violations" suffered by women in life. The performance of
starring and Tiffany Hsu particularly impressed the audience.
And another large-scale taboo-themed drama series of this Italian mixed-race actress has been launched.
talks about the taboo and sensitive topic of teacher-student love. The trailer makes people cover their eyes: It's so exciting, can I watch it?
Many viewers said that this is the Taiwanese version of "The Witch's Condition".
This drama is -
"Lesson 9"
The beginning of the story is a live video on the 70th anniversary of Nanyi High School.
Chinese language teacher Chen Mengyun (played by Tiffany Hsu) fell to the ground, covering the wound on her abdomen, with a look of disbelief on her face.
7-year-old math gifted student Zhang Yixiang ( Chen Haosen ) stood in front of her with a blood-stained knife with a sad look.
asked: "Teacher, in your eyes, who am I?"
Back to 4 months ago, Chen Mengyun came to Nanyi High School and became a Chinese teacher in Class A of the third year.
Nanyi High School is the top private high school in Taiwan Province, with a clear class division.
The most typical one is Zhang Yixiang, a gifted student in Class A of the third year, who has always occupied the second place in the grade.
Mom Xie Shufen is the president of the parents' association, and her grandfather is the school director. Even the principal has to give her some respect.
When Zhang Yixiang was about to be punished for helping his classmates steal test questions, Xie Shufen rushed directly into the principal's office, arranged for workers to remove the furniture, and made no secret of it: her son was superior to others.
Chen Mengyun couldn't stand this kind of strong behavior of using power to oppress others.
Since it cannot be changed at the school level, then pick the easiest place to start.
When Zhang Yixiang said arrogantly: You can't touch me.
Chen Mengyun replied lightly: I can’t touch you, but I still can’t touch your mother.
Boys in high school are always lawless and have a strong rebellious mentality.
is simply unbearable to be insinuated by others that he is a mother's baby, a child who seeks protection under his mother's wings.
As it happened, his mother's excessive interference in his life had long made him dissatisfied.
If you want to prove that you are not a mommy’s baby, you have to start resisting. How can
resist?
Zhang Yixiang chose to admit at the school meeting that he had stolen test questions and asked the school to deal with it strictly.
Since mother wants differential treatment, then I will force you to be fair.
It also started from this incident. Zhang Yixiang felt that this teacher Chen was different.
When others are telling me to be an obedient and good boy, when others are afraid of me trying to please me.
Only you remind me to resist.
recalled her looming body when she wet the teacher's clothes as a prank.
The hormones of youth are moving.
The domineering school bully on campus expressed his love in a simple and crude way.
posted an entire hallway of hearts and balloons on Monday morning.
At the school assembly, he walked directly onto the stage, hugged him and gave him a sip.
Teachers and students are in abnormal love, and such explosive gossip spread throughout the school instantly.
But everyone thinks that Zhang Yixiang is just a student and must be a bad teacher.
Women, especially beautiful women, coupled with their status as teachers, became Chen Mengyun’s original sin.
Just as in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", Marlena's defense lawyer said: Her crime was just because she was too beautiful.
’s mother Xie Shufen slapped her in the face and accused Chen Mengyun of seducing her son.
Students quit the West Point Club run by Chen Mengyun because of the teacher's misconduct.
Even colleagues who should understand Chen Mengyun the most are ridiculing him behind his back.
When these people see the complete story and know about Zhang Yixiang’s misdeeds, do they really think that everything is Chen Mengyun’s fault?
Or is it their natural jealousy and prejudice against beautiful girls?
No matter what they think, these controversies and backstabbing have brought the two people closer.
School bully Zhang Yixiang hurt his beloved female teacher, and worked hard to make amends and become a good student that the teacher liked.
Chen Mengyun also discovered that the school bully was not bad at heart and was willing to tutor him alone.
So, every night, in a tutoring classroom in the school, the 9th period class for only two people started.
Everything seems to be fine, but Chen Mengyun seems to be hiding a secret.
For example, seemingly unintentionally, I inquired about the feelings of Zhang Yixiang’s parents.
The camera panned over the desk at home. There was a photo of a family of three on it, and the father’s face was scratched.
There is something covered with white cloth on the wall at home.
Think back to Zhang Yixiang’s question to Chen Mengyun at the beginning.
Could it be that Chen Mengyun, who seems to be prey, is actually the best hunter?
From the time she entered Nanyi High School, everyone and everything she encountered were tools she used.
Chen Mengyun's favorite song in the play is Stefanie Sun's " It's Dark ":
I fell in love with a person who made me desperate for my life
I thought This is the world I pursue
However, running rampant, being misunderstood and deceived
Is there always something incomplete behind the adult world
perhaps hints at the ending of the story.
Love without caring about one's own safety may just fall into a trap carefully woven by adults.
Starting in 2019, Taiwanese dramas took the lead in starting content changes.
While the mainland was still immersed in fairy tale dramas and idol dramas, Taiwanese dramas turned to realistic themes.
launched three hit movies within one year: " The Story of a Common Girl ", "The Distance Between Us and Evil", and " Want to See You ".
and then to " who is the victim" and "she and her her".
Today’s Taiwanese dramas are becoming more and more daring and adept at filming, with diverse themes and profound themes.
But when talking about the growth of feelings between men and women, it is inevitable to use routines.
When the male protagonist falls, he must drag the female protagonist down with him. When their eyes meet, the shelf next to them happens to fall down.
just gave the male protagonist a chance to "hero save the beauty".
The male protagonist is stubborn and refuses to admit his feelings. He deliberately said in front of his classmates: She is just my toy.
At this time, the heroine must have heard it accidentally.
The male protagonist actually chose to jump out of his car and run away in order to go on a date with the female protagonist.
Compared with the mutual redemption of two people with twisted hearts in "The Witch's Condition", and the delicate and gentle youthful hormones in "The Diary of a Middle School Saint".
"Lesson 9" is more like a youth idol drama wrapped in a taboo cloak. It treats teacher-student love, an emotion that wanders on the edge of morality and rationality, in an overly flat manner.
Everyone always likes to say: To like is to be unbridled, but to love is to be restrained.
An excellent work, in addition to showing unbridled love, should also show restrained love, the courage to move from immaturity to maturity, as well as responsibility and responsibility.
At present, "Lesson 9" does not have the depth of "Her and Her Her", but as a campus love drama, it is also good.
Coupled with the crime and suspense elements added to the plot, it also adds a lot of fun to watch.
Even just because of Tiffany Hsu's appearance and the motel invitation sent by Chen Mengyun at the end of episode 6, it is enough to make people scratch their heads and wait for the next episode.
