As its name suggests, the drama "*Love Study Room" has a large scale, and it speaks out about sex-related topics, making domestic movies and TV shows beyond reach.
In order to prevent the article from being deleted, I had to use * instead of sensitive words. We dare not even write the name of a TV drama in its entirety. In this environment, it is impossible to produce a film and television work like "*Love Study Room".
Of course, the success of "*Love Study Room" lies not only in its large scale, but also in its large-scale subject matter. In fact, it is an in-depth analysis of the psychological activities of high school students in adolescence.
So "*love" is just the shell, and "youth" is the real theme of the show.
Everyone must have watched a lot of domestic youth films, but they are all about abortions, love triangles, fights, and skipping classes. Even if it is about love, it must be pretentious and reserved, which makes people feel very fake and contrived.
For example, in the recent release of "Little Wish", the actor's wish in the original movie "The Great Wish" was to "have sex", but in "Little Wish" he wanted to "fall in love". It's magical.
And foreign youth films are different. Sex comedy movies such as "American Pie" and "European Sex Travel" are emerging one after another. Of course, this "*Love Study Room" is indispensable.
The characteristics of these film and television works are that they dare to love and hate, and go straight to each other, which makes people feel very upright and does not deliberately pretend to be pure.
The same is true of "*Love Study Room". Everyone in the play can face "sex" and see the good side of "sex" instead of treating it as dirty and nasty things one-sidedly.
For example, Jane, the mother of the protagonist Otis, is a love and affection therapist.
When Otis was very young, Jane was willing to tell him what sex was.
Otis also has in-depth theoretical knowledge of sex under the influence of his mother, but there is still a lack of practical experience.
As a result, Otis and his classmate Maeve launched a "sex clinic" to provide sex education for the students for a fee.
Under the guidance of Otis, Adam finally overcome the obstacle of shooting.
With the help of Otis, Kate and Sam get along more harmoniously.
Amy overcame the psychological barrier and began to try to masturbate; Jackson learned how to get along with girls...
Although Otis is an "old driver", he is very good at teaching others to deal with emotional problems, but he can't handle his own emotional problems.
He likes Maeve, but Maeve is with Jackson at this time.
Actually Maeve liked him too, but he didn't know it. So he didn't know whether he should take the initiative to pursue Maeve or not to disturb Maeve and Jackson.
Otis and Maeve have a two-way crush. Both of them like each other, and neither of them knows that the other likes themselves. This problem has not been resolved until the end of the first season.
The story of Otis and Maeve once again shows that although the success rate of confession is only 50%, the success rate of non-confession is only 0.
It's a shame that two people who love each other haven't been able to be together because they didn't tell each other.
Of course, we are in the perspective of God, so we know that they are happy, but they don't know it.
Otis thought that Maeve liked Jackson, and Maeve thought that Otis liked Euler.
What Maeve didn't know was that Otis was jealous because she was with Jackson.
Otis didn't know, but Maeve had actually kept the sweater he lent her.
Of course they wanted to show their feelings to each other, but they were worried that the other party did not like themselves, so they had been observing and waiting, and at the same time, they were getting farther and farther away from each other while observing and waiting.
The film is very detailed and sincere about the psychology of adolescent high school students who have a crush on their classmates and want to tell them about their lack of courage.
Maeve is very clean and self-conscious, she has only Jackson from the beginning to the end;
Although Otis was still a virgin, he didn't just want to sleep with Maeve.
The film does not overemphasize their desire for sex, nor does it avoid talking about it, but the intensity is just right.
Because the fact is that 17-year-olds are curious about sex, but they don’t regard sex as a scourge like adults.
It is completely unnecessary to demonize "sex"; it is too obscene to make a youth film too obscene.
Rumors have been circulating in the school about Maeve: She gave 12 men in 10 minutes when she played Truth or Dare, and she had sex with four men at the same time, and she would help you with five dollars...
It wasn't until episode 5 that the mystery was revealed. Maeve was not as casual as everyone said, everything was a rumor.
Maeve knows how rumors can hit a person, so when someone claims to disclose Ruby's nude photos, Maeve doesn't want to see Ruby go through the same experience.
Even if Ruby is mean to her, she is willing to help her find out who wants to publish her nude photos.
Especially at the end of episode 5, everyone stood up and said "This is my way", which tacitly protected Ruby.
However, the plot of the eighth episode reversed again, Ruby healed the scar and forgot to hurt, and continued to slander Maeve.
This is too real, because it is like this in reality. Some people will remember it when you help them, and some people will never be grateful.
Eric's relationship with his father is also impressive.
Eric likes to dress up as a girl.
He thought that his father did not understand him, on the contrary, his father understood him best.
Especially when he was beaten by homophobics in women's clothing, it was his father who encouraged him and gave him the courage to stick to himself: if you want to continue to live like this, you have to be strong.
The next day, my mother said, "I always tell you that the bicycle is dangerous." Obviously, my father didn't tell his wife all this, only that Eric was injured while riding the bicycle.
It's not that the father doesn't support his son, he just doesn't want to see his son hurt.
When Eric decided to go to the prom in women's clothing, his father said he didn't want his son to be injured.
Eric said: I will get hurt anyway, so I might as well be myself.
So the father respected his decision: Maybe I learned something from my brave son.
Such a father is really friendly. He did not firmly believe that he was right, and did not use his parental status to force his son to obey him unconditionally.
He knows that he is not all right, and sometimes he should listen to his son's thoughts.
If parents all over the world can think like this, if every child's ideas are heard by their parents, who would want to be rebellious?
Adam is like a school bully and often bullies Eric.
It turned out that he was the principal's son, and his father had high expectations of him, but he just didn't have the talent for learning.
His father was very strict with him, he was very angry at home, so he used to bully his classmates to vent his depression.
Of course, this is not whitewashing Adam. After all, campus bullying is wrong under any circumstances, but it is also necessary for us to understand the heart of the perpetrator. We can only know the reason why he bullies others. Help him to reform.
Adam used the way of bullying Eric to release the pressure. In addition, he also used this way to hide his true side.
As early as the beginning of the first episode, it was hinted that he was absent-minded and dull when making love with Amy.
This is just to imply that he is not interested in girls.
After he sternly warned Eric not to tell him that he was gay, he couldn't help but slowly approached Eric in class. This detail was even more delicate.
His father was too harsh on him, he was a person who lacked love, so he always acted like a bastard to cover up his fragile heart.
In addition, he has been bullying Eric for a long time, so he is embarrassed to face Eric.
But this time when he showed his fierce side to Eric again, he found that he couldn't go against his heart.
So he no longer violated it, but followed it and accepted it.
Later, Eric rode a bicycle to find Adam, but Adam was about to be sent to the military school by his father.
Adam's eyes were love and hateful, there was the joy of Eric coming to him, the loss of reluctance to leave, and more reluctance and regret.
The first episode first showed Adam's harsh and tough side, giving the audience a negative first impression, and then peeling off his shell layer by layer like cutting an onion, revealing his heart, and you found him on the surface fierce and fierce. In fact, he is also a poor man.
Maybe he thought about coming out, maybe he wanted to have a relationship openly, but when he thought of his stern father, he dismissed the idea.
But at least, Eric understands him and tolerates him, because they are the same kind of people.
There are a lot of LGBT people in this drama, such as Anwar, Jackson's two mothers, Lucy and Tanya who have known each other since elementary school...
As Anwar said: As Anwar said: Homophobia was a thing of more than ten years ago, and it is out of date.
(Ironically, Adam called Eric a "gay guy", but he was actually gay himself)
At least they still have homophobia, and some countries don’t even have homophobia because they don’t recognize the existence of homosexuality at all. If you don’t even have homosexuality, how can you be homophobic?
"*Love Study Room" is a very tolerant drama, in this drama you can see people with various sexual orientations, maybe they have disclosed their sexuality, maybe they are not ready yet, but at least they admit that they have The existence of LGBT people will not deny their existence, let alone say that this is a disease.
Just like they dare to face up to sex, dare to talk about sex, instead of seeing it as a scourge, as a dirty, nasty thing.
How many parents in China would tell their son what sex is like from an early age like Jane?
How many parents would support Eric's father to be his true self?
Apart from anything else, Jackson called on the whole school to gather and confess this kind of thing to Maeve in public. It would not happen in a Chinese middle school. Even if it happened, it would be criticized by the school and teachers.
But Jackson and Maeve were not criticized. On the contrary, they did something destined to be unforgettable for a lifetime, and they also received the support of the entire school.
Even the most unapproachable principals witnessed the confession ceremony at the scene, and did not stop them, let alone punishing them.
Because he was also a student back then, he also liked classmates back then, he knows that a 17-year-old student needs great courage to plan a confession ceremony. You don't need to help, but at least don't destroy their youth.
