The acquaintance of three people, the change of their own fortune, make them constantly re-examine their choice.

Tanaka, who doesn't want to be tied by age and still wants to fall in love:

She can still get her mother to understand, "I want your partner to be someone you can spend every ordinary day with."

Haruko, who is conscious of living alone and thinks work is the best partner:

After being betrayed by her job, she starts a new adventure and throws off her "must be single" inhibitions.

What is remarkable about this drama is that it is a two-way reflection, questioning both the "everything is good when women get married" and the "everything is good when men get married".

The netizen Cat knows: One episode discusses a social issue related to late marriage, and finally comes to the conclusion that love is all that matters, and the marriage certificate is just a piece of paper.

"Employment under the guise of marriage"

It discusses these questions well, and is very recommended: do you get respect and reward for your efforts in the family? When one person works and one person takes care of the home, what is a reciprocal and reasonable way to get along?

Goodheart: Absolute topic piece... The core themes of the play are as follows: (1) The main line: the productive value of feminism to women is an in-depth discussion on the nature of contract marriage by covering up paid housework with free love; (2) Side line: the definition and pursuit of self-happiness of older female/male youth in the face of discriminatory social pressure.

04. Masters of Sex

"The time when I had to plan my life around men is over."

Based on a biography of a real person. It tells the story of William Masters, an obstetrician and gynecologist, and his assistant Virginia Johnson, who conducted the study in the 1960s when sexual behavior was still in need of research.

Their common career, and the feelings inside and out, make William's wife Libby in the role of the third party. Libby's marriage was a "good home" set by the society at that time. She painstakingly maintained a family in which no one was happy, befriended Virginia, the other woman, and told her that her bottom line was: family integrity.

But when her family finally breaks up, instead of being overwhelmed, she is reborn. I stopped trying to please people, stopped trying to be emotional, and discovered what I wanted to do: become a lawyer.

She loves her lawyer boyfriend, but knows: "The time when I had to plan my life around a man is over." She will no longer stop fulfilling herself for anyone.

Internet users are darker than black: childhood, family, personality disorders. The separation and connection between sex and love. Ideas and exploration ahead of their time. The independence and rise of feminism. Take your whole life as an adventure, declare war on the world.

Netizen Dabaa: "Our body, our organs, what does a woman mean?" It needs to be defined by women themselves, rather than relying on the judgment of a patriarchal society. That's eight minutes to go.

06. "Desert Flower"

I can only tell the world what needs to be done."

When she was 12, her father tried to marry her to a 60-year-old man in order to get five camels. The night before her wedding, Wallis escaped from the desert with her mother's acquiescence.

The woman's body is like an instrument of grief, disposed of by custom, power, and male power. After giving up modelling in 1997, she became a UN goodwill ambassador for the abolition of female circumcision, a practice still prevalent in many areas.

Netizen Kuang Kuang: How many women are still bound in the heart, the spirit is still circumcised.
