When I first glanced at this poster, my first reaction was another brain-dead youth idol dog blood drama. The name insatiable also sounded like a bitch, so I skipped it directly, but then I accidentally heard about this drama. Controversy, in the spirit of seeking truth from facts without the right to speak, I tried watching this season and found that this drama is actually quite interesting.
Of course, from the standpoint of comedy, there are not many stalks and puns in this drama, and it is not that funny. The whole plot and characters are also quite crazy, but the screenwriter actually made a lot of nonsense. In terms of comedy, the logic is basically within the acceptable range, so the technical aspects of the script are normal, and the casting is also OK. Although everyone's southern accent is a bit awkward, the image is quite southern, and it is inexplicable after watching too much. Weirdly cute.
As for the most controversial content of the audience, I don't really think it is offensive, but it is very real, and it is still a real hodgepodge. For example, the heroine who suffered body shaming and bullying wants to avenge the person who bullied her and participate in the most objectify/ When the beauty pageant that sexualizes women comes, the audience may feel that "this message/three views are very wrong" when sitting and watching, or "this is showing fat people maliciously", or "how can beauty pageants be praised for something that should be eliminated in the first place" But on the other hand, if you are an ordinary girl who has been in an environment of low self-esteem bullying from the outside to the inside for a long time, even if you lose weight by coincidence, your low self-esteem mental state will not happen in a day or two. Things that can change suddenly. It is precisely because of the coexistence of low self-cousciousness and the outside world's apparent increase in friendship based on her appearance that the heroine wants to express her break with the painful past (revenge) on the one hand, and she wants to obtain this A nod to an unhealthy past (participating in beauty pageants), because that life seems to be easier and more enjoyable, and because she still ends up living in a real world where looks and women are inferior. From a psychological point of view, this is the product of a very typical mental abuse. Basically, this is not the problem of the female protagonist, but a reality directly caused by some malice towards fat people and women that has always existed in human society. I don't think there is anything wrong with the Lord's "low ideological awareness", and it can't be said to be a bad display of the problem of obese people. In my opinion, this just shows how the maliciousness of this world comes from outside in and then from inside out (it is worth noting that the heroine's own family background is not good, so even if she is not fat, she will inevitably be have low self-esteem). It's true that not all people who become fat and thin will become like the heroine, but if these people really become such pitiful people as the heroine, who can blame them? What's more, the heroine's character seems to be an ordinary person, not perfect but not so bad.
If you can put aside the shackles of the usual "watching TV to escape reality" and PC thinking, and really look at the logic of this show from the perspective of those who have been harmed by malice, I think the reverse thinking of this show is actually very valuable. , and from the fact that there are both positive and negative PCs in this play, it can be seen that the screenwriter is actually quite ambitious. As far as the degree of completion is concerned, except for the final collapse, everything is okay. Anyway, it is not a brainless drama that should be relegated to hell. set. Of course, whether a work is offensive or not is ultimately decided not by the author, but by the person who feels offended, so I must say that I have no objection to the offense, but the audience who feel offended can't speak for all. And I don't know how badly such a crazy plot will definitely affect young people. It can only be said that some people like this kind of line and some people hate it. It's not harmful to open up another perspective to see the problem.
The two Asian characters that are undoubtedly very dark in the play, of course I feel offended as a Chinese, but on the other hand, the horny Asian male and the petite and crazy Asian female are not exactly the stereotype of Asians that Westerners have always had , it's nothing new, it doesn't make sense for us to boycott others here (I didn't contribute to the Netflix membership fee, hahaha) It's good to know
