I’m still enthusiastic just after watching it. I feel that this drama is beyond my imagination. Let me record the feelings of this youth drama. Yes, it’s not a gimmick of “teenage politicians”, big ambitions, etc., but another Netflix drama. Zhang Qingchun is indeed an alternative. It is not as refreshing and refreshing as "Sex Education" or even "Half Understanding". The protagonist is indifferent to the world, but everyone writes utilitarianism on their faces, but looking back, there are indeed surprises.
First of all, when I first heard about this drama, I felt that I couldn’t say enough. What high school students are running for the student union and throwing money casually, and the little pepper couldn’t arouse my interest. When I opened the first episode, Payton’s self-introduction in Harvard’s interview made me He has a stern look on his face, and knows where his strengths lie. Apart from being rich, his life experience is also a card. Although I am rich, I was adopted. What makes me different, because I have known since I was a child I want to be the president myself, and I chose Harvard because the presidents from Harvard are the most worthy of me. Isn't this nonsense, I won't give him an offer even if I put him aside.
Looking back, except for this slightly greasy teenager, the setting of the whole drama is also very interesting. I don't know much about American elections or high school life, but this kind of serious competition is very similar to a group of like-minded people who have taken the student council election very seriously. The setting of the child attracts me to continue watching. This group of rich kids who have been playing together since the age of eight dreamed of going all the way to the White House with Payton, a good friend who was destined to be president. Our protagonist even found his own first lady, his "high school sweatheart" Alice. This setting is also very good, and I will talk about it later.
In short, this election for the student council president is a poll and a running mate, a proposal is put forward, and a debate is required in front of the whole school. In addition, during the fifth episode of the election, the campaign teams on both sides continued to lobby and watch the parents and teachers. Emphasizing the right to vote, etc., seems to be a scene for American teenagers to show the charm of election campaigns and to ridicule the new generation who do not understand the importance of elections. Education comes first, but it is not the whole story. If you only talk about a rich kid who is destined to be the president, working hard, and starting a business with his friends from a young age, that's fine, and you can watch it, but "The Politician" is good-looking, and it doesn't stop at the campaign part.
Payton lives in a prominent family, but he said at the beginning that he brought it back. The twins played by Little Pepper's mother and the rich father are two idiots. They are ignorant, ignorant, and have a Harvard degree that their parents paid for. They only think about picking up girls and inheritance, and fighting against their own mother. I look down on Payton, my mother's favorite adopted son. The mother, on the other hand, is deeply involved in a wealthy family, and her heart is free. She cheats at will when she has nothing to do. She has exported the most maternal love to this ambitious adopted son who is actually soft-hearted. She often says "I love you so much" to Payton. The reason has also been said, the first two sons were not taught well, and they were stupid and bad, and Payton, who was brought in, was alone. They depended on each other in this family. To put it bluntly, only the two of them in this family will be kicked if they disagree. Going out, but when I was there, I was really bound by this title. The old man and the twins were not shy and didn't care what they took from the family or what they squandered, because it really belonged to them.
Coupled with the fact that his adopted son status and his mother depend on each other for life, Payton's greasy image at the beginning will not be added, but he will only feel that he is more likely to be an opportunistic villain. The plus point is that after the first scene where he had a bright relationship with his mother and the twins, River came on and changed Payton's life and my feelings about Payton. He suddenly cried in the face of the gentle and tolerant River, which would feel abrupt at the moment, but after reading it all, and then looking back, River has brought sensibility to Payton's life, and as Payton's sensibility increases, he wants to be a good person. The desire is stronger, or we are more able to see his tendency as a good person, we began to like him more, and began to notice that he did not regulate his words and deeds just because he wanted to be president and did not want to black history, but because He wants to be a good person and wants to change the world, so he starts with himself and tries his best to export gentleness and kindness to the world. He stopped James from calling swing voters trash without knowing that there was someone in the toilet, saying that no one should be treated like this, and he even wanted to be the student council president to change the situation; when he knew about Infinity's condition, he secretly Tell her the truth, which is the most he can do, and help her, invite her to sing on stage and be her friend when she's alone. He may be doing what he thinks is right and always being politically correct, but he is also a kind, honest and upright person.
James is too beautiful, and with a flat head, I didn't think he was a straight man at first, I thought it was a private sale: In the worldview of this show, the lack of sexual flow is not a black spot, just like ours As it should be in the world. River, Astride, Payton, and even the female congresswoman who was finally targeted by this small group also have an extraordinary "family of three"; and between the same sex, since the male protagonist has already started, the girls are not idle. , Little Pepper's true love is a sister, Skye and McAfee are also a couple who used to be full of sugar.
Alice, I didn't know what to do at first. Like Payton, I thought it was very strange. If James and McAfee are the technical flow of brains, Alice can be said to be the strangest looking one on the team. I don't know what she is responsible for, so she came out and confessed to Payton. But knowing that she is P's future "first lady", everything is relatively clear. She is obsessed with Payton and is willing to do anything for him. At the same time, she has a clear mind and can be admitted to Harvard in the first round, but she has never looked down on it. over your lover. She demands herself by the standards of the first lady. The jewelry, accessories and behavior she wears all reveal a strange maturity and solemnity, but with her purpose and intention, everything is logical. And she was not at all timid in the battle of Payton's retention. Although I slept with your good brother, sex has nothing to do with betrayal. Instead of "I did something wrong, I'm sorry for you, etc.", it is her strength to be clear, and cleverness is second.
Why Astride and Payton are rivals to the end I don't understand very well, it seems that she does not have the strength of school bullying. Anyway, she may be the best in the whole drama, and she may not be the coolest, but she has come out of her disguise and is strong, and she has an expression of "I want you to take care of it" everywhere, which is really cool. She is afraid, afraid, and a little bit rebellious to report her own father, but in any case, she is living a good life, willing to have nothing, it is better than a delicate princess falling into the world and complaining. In particular, because she had nothing, she brought a big melon, which eventually prompted Payton to pursue his dream again. This kind of drama of falling in love and killing each other finally doesn't need to be staged between a pair of lovers. The inexplicable relationship between rivals makes the drama of the two people quite interesting. A doesn't seem to care about River, and even doi pretends to be a climax, while Payton River is obsessed and dependent, River's sensibility is a kind of magic, he pulls the trigger, leaving the two in the world, tit for tat in a sympathetic gesture.
Infinity is the turning point of the whole show. It is the only setting that has changed the fate of almost everyone after River. Because of choosing such a strong and sunny cancer patient as VP, Payton has the possibility to win, and because of her broken relationship, Astride ran away from home and Payton was interrogated. As for her grandmother's big lie, let's take a look at the total consequences: first, the video leaked, Payton's polls dropped, Ricardo went to New York to ask Astride to ask for his guilt; People's campaign was screwed up; not to mention Payton was fired, lost his offer, and nearly lost half his life because of the revelation. And her and Skye's appearance in Payton's bar is an opportunity, she has regained her life for many years, and even more powerful, btw, as an editor-in-chief and a public figure, in the following campaign, we can predict: she will be in the public opinion. become their rare advantage. I'll say it again, and that's exactly what Payton's good causes are. Infinity's optimism and naivety are actually a little weird. Her character and even her mental state remains to be seen. I don't know if there will be new content in the second season. After all, her name is Infinity, and the possibilities are endless.
And the youth of this youth drama is not only because the stories of all the protagonists start from the second to the third year of high school, but the state of these people. The pride and ambition to change the world is gearing up, and everything is youthful. At this time, I can throw away the lies of the past ten years and pick up my life; I can also temporarily let go of my so-called ambitions and feel the world. Everything is too late, and all the so-called love and hatred, there is no absolute, we Interact with kindness and face each other head-on. On the surface, these juveniles seem to have intervened prematurely in the stinging methods of adult society, but in fact, they do what they can to accomplish things within their ability with juvenile spirit.
Everyone is honest, what I do, what I do, no one hides a knife in the back or needs to investigate, no mysteries, all problems are straight to the point, what I want to know, I do it, I run away from home You weren't kidnapped, you didn't get sick, neither your mother nor your mother got sick because of your grandmother. The sincerity of everyone was unexpected. It's hard to believe that this kind of thing can really happen? On the other hand, I feel relieved. Although such people have done some things out of impulse, their essence is not bad enough to make people grit their teeth and act a little bit, but with the light of adolescence, they can always understand, so to In the end, these people can come back together again and make a big vote.
The gathering of friends and enemies is really what touched me the most. The former enemy took over the olive branch without saying a word, and the lover was waiting for him in a wedding dress.
Regarding the big vote we did together, Mrs. spoke up.
Before that, Payton, who once again befriended River, brought me the title of the article.
Now the dream has become the mission. This sense of mission brings a dreamy impulse to the ending. Although the final campaign scene is almost as deserted as Standish's winning office, the ambition on everyone's face must be like a joke, but who can say for sure? Life is still long anyway.
