As of now, the playback volume of the drama has exceeded 50 million, becoming a popular drama recently. From the perspective of the profession of body makeup artist, the play tells the cruel status quo faced by this profession, and also explores the situation of people when facing death, showing the various aspects of the world.
"Sanyue has a new job" tells the story of Zhao Sanyue (played by Zhou Yiran), who ran away from home due to anger with his mother, came to work in the funeral home under the introduction of his aunt Su Rong (played by Guo Keyu), and became a body makeup artist. From the unknown at the beginning to witnessing many separations and deaths, he gradually grew up and established his belief in this profession.
This drama has many similarities with the popular Japanese drama " Unnatural Death ". They are all about the profession of death, and they also introduce thoughts on the issue of life and death through the form of telling one story in one episode. In addition, many of the lines in the drama are quite similar to Japanese dramas, profound and philosophical, and thought-provoking.
The main issue triggered by the drama is the discrimination and unfair treatment of funeral practitioners by . Chinese people are very taboo about death, so practitioners in related industries are also "coined" and rejected. When asked about his profession during blind dates or conversations with others, he could only be generally referred to as a "service industry" practitioner; Liang Ge (played by Kang Keren) was fired because his boss knew he was working in a funeral home;
When taking a taxi, the taxi driver did not accept the order to go to the funeral home, so he had to change the address to the noodle restaurant opposite. All of these reflect a reality that is both far-fetched and helpless, calling on society to face up to and treat this group rationally.
Secondly, this drama also shows many social and family problems in China today. First, let’s talk about the protagonist Zhao Sanyue in this drama. Zhao Sanyue's relationship with her mother has always been in disagreement, and she will confront her tit-for-tat as soon as she speaks. The reason why the relationship between the two became like this is because her mother Su Wenjing (played by Zhang Yinyan ) has been scattering the resentment of divorce on Zhao Sanyue, causing the relationship between the mother and son to gradually fade away.
When Zhao Sanyue saw a woman feeling ashamed of her husband being murdered by her mistress, and tried her best to repair her husband's face just to give her child a fairy tale childhood, she couldn't help but think of her mother's situation when she divorced, so she finally asked, "Why do men's faults need two women to bear it."
And most of the family problems of Chinese people cannot escape the ironic reality of favoring boys over girls, and this drama reveals the harm of the concept of favoring boys over girls to children and the tragedy of family . A woman who was given away by her biological parents because she was a daughter died of a heart attack on the day she recognized her biological parents. Her adoptive parents were so sad that they couldn't shed tears, but their personal parents cried and shouted to the sky and the earth. The eldest sister left the house after she was 18 years old. The youngest brother kept blaming himself for being sent away because his sister was sent away. Later, unfortunately she suffered from cancer and eventually died.
In the end, the eldest sister was left. Because she could not let go of her hatred and blame for her parents, she left home again after attending her brother's funeral. Only two "initiators" were left in a family. Such a family tragedy is a true portrayal of how many families prefer boys over girls.
In addition to the funeral home, there are also hospitals. Luo Damiao, played by Liang Jingkang, is a doctor who is involved in medical disputes with patients as soon as he appears. The final issue of this dispute is "Will the doctor help patients relieve their pain or let them endure the torture of illness and continue to live?" This leads to the hospice ward built by today's society for patients who are about to die, so that the dying patients can leave peacefully and face life and death calmly.
In addition to the rich plot content, the cast of the show is also strong.There is the continuation of "Bell Pepper CP" in this drama " Wind Dog Boy's Sky ", and many heavyweight or popular actors have joined. Guo Keyu, who won three best actresses for "Red Cherry", appeared in a surprise role and sang the ending song; Yang En, who played the girl Xiaowen in "The Big Events in Life", also starred in this drama. Although she is young, her acting skills are outstanding and impressive.
"Sanyue has a new job" is a rare funeral-themed TV series in China. Its biggest feature is that it has more humanistic care. The mobile phone repairman who died suddenly in a foreign land was sent to the funeral home but was miraculously "resurrected" students, presenting the separation, separation, and joys and sorrows of ordinary people one by one, bringing us thoughts about life and death.
