Let me talk about a few impressive impressions first:
1. Leading actress.
2. The rebirth song "Gotta Get Up".
3. Emotional control is in place to fit the plot. I don't have the feeling of being unable to make up and yelling to fill the time.
The following is a plot analysis, with spoilers.
Personal perception, the plot is: death with grievances-wandering around the world-relieving grievances-undead supernatural
1. Die unfairly
The hostess came up to see through Hong Chen, feeling that she was unlovable. In fact, she has a strong desire to win, and her "adoptive mother" knows her best. Let’s look at the background and personality. A girl who lost her parents at an early age lacks family education and care, and finally completes her studies to become an excellent programmer. As an ordinary person, she cannot do it without a strong will. She is afraid of dying before the age of 36 like her mother, so this birthday has a special meaning for her. Because of fear of death, she used self-ridicule or absurd behavior to pretend to deceive herself.
The male protagonist is a sensitive, cowardly child. For more than ten years, in order to make him more confident and brave, he has worked hard, self-disciplined to the perverted state, so that his childhood sweethearts hate him. When you encounter a setback in life, you end your life on the impulse. This kind of character drama has already said very clearly, but also through the failure of the game, anger, and gluttony of sweets to further strengthen the characterization. What's funny or sad is that no matter how self-abuse or sloppy he is, he immediately refreshes and dresses up when he receives a call from a friend, and then goes to see his brother "freshly"-someone who could have been honest about his heart and confided in his emotions. His refusal to psychological counseling is to refuse to face his own mistakes, and to forget to commit suicide is to cover up his inner weakness.
2. Wandering in the world
There are also many stories in China explaining that ghosts are dead people who are unwilling to go where they should go. They are often obsessive or resentful. If you can face death more calmly like the "adoptive mother" of the heroine, you will naturally not have such regrets. The heroine finds herself trapped in the time and space between life and death. At first she chooses to escape and avoid death. Then she finds that it is futile anyway. She chooses to indulge and let herself forget everything. However, after all the noise, there will always be calm, and I have to face myself. Then I remembered the past I buried, because I let the mother who loved and feared die early and fell into self-blame. Whenever I remembered this (seeing the girl), I would die. It shows that people who have been obsessed with the past have no future. Then people who have been obsessed with themselves will gradually ignore everything around them, and your friends will slowly leave you unable to stand you. Only those who care about you and love you the most will persist until the end, because of your separation. Go (death) and be sad or destroy (death) with you. Fortunately, because of the love of these friends and relatives, the hostess did not want them to be destroyed by her own involvement, and finally put aside her self-obsession and let the poor little girl truly become a thing of the past.
The male protagonist's story line is not so rich, that is, from continuing to work hard to disguise himself after death, to being forced to face the truth, to accepting the truth, it is easy to understand.
3. Relieve grievances
The last episode, save each other. The screenwriter used the short and humorous plot as possible to tell us that it is difficult, or even impossible, to save a friend (self). So ordinary friends will try once or twice or even three or four times and leave you, while those who care about seeing you step by step towards the abyss will feel distressed, because it is difficult for adults to let others make decisions for themselves. The final decision still has to be made by yourself, but at these important moments, a little care may change the outcome of the choice. At these critical moments, it is also a blessing in life to have two friends standing by to support you.
4. Undead Super
The tramp is the angel who may be there at any time (the line of the heroine when the tramp comes out). It is he who makes the heroine feel the joy of caring for others, so that the two meet (the rescue station elevator) to save each other, and finally guide the two Where to go. A close-up of the scene where the timelines of the two undead meet (red scarf male protagonist, white shirt female protagonist). The torch is a symbol of adventure. The female protagonist’s expression is not the joy of the aftermath, but liberation, anticipation and a little bit of fear. If there is knowledge after death, it is not worthless to be able to die like this without regrets.
Of course, it is a compromise that the writers and directors keep the seeds for the second season (if any), and make the result as open ending as it is now.
Off-topic: My personal interpretation of why the heroine is not so annoying, but is not so annoying. The boyfriend's girlfriend was successfully portrayed as a bitch after a few chats. How do you define good people and bad people?
