I finished watching the drama Youth Royal Family on the recommendation of a friend. I thought it was a niche BL drama, but it turned out to be a little surprise. It is not an idol drama with pink bubbles. I think it is called youth. The drama is more suitable. The atmosphere of the whole film is not relaxed and happy, and even a little depressing. The tone of the film, the soundtrack and the plot all express the chaos, confusion and confusion of adolescence very well. Everyone in the play has their own characteristics. Pain in confusion, make mistakes, grow up, and move forward on the road to find the true self. The protagonist William has an excellent brother. When he encounters a difficult situation, he will think: If only my brother was here, he must know what to do, instead of being overwhelmed like me. Another male protagonist, Simon's sister, has never had any friends. Because of mental illness and interpersonal problems, she was transferred to another school and downgraded to the same grade as her younger brother. She finally made friends and forced herself to do things she didn't like in order to make others like her. My favorite little chubby girl, in order to meet the expectations of her parents, she was afraid of riding a horse and even posted a message and pretended that she liked it. Later, she finally dared to express her views to her mother and resisted her mother's arrangement of her life. Even Augustus, who is barely a villain, was sent to a boarding school by his mother after his father committed suicide. He was always trying to be perfect in the eyes of others, and he was always on drugs in order to stay in the best condition. The air of class, what he tried so hard to want is not worth mentioning to others, and the male protagonist also publicly tore his perfect illusion, which led him to publish the male protagonist's small video online, which also made this person not. So annoying. And Simon, one of the male protagonists, can be said to be the most loyal to himself. He has the courage to express himself and is not afraid of power. Even if he falls in love with the prince, he can bravely express his needs. This is also a large part of the reason why the prince is attracted to him. . The last episode of Simon and his sister's conversation can be said to be the point, that is to be yourself, to be true to yourself.
Sister: Your problem is that you always want to help others, so you are always bullied.
Simon: At least I don't bully my family, and I don't want to be someone other than myself
Sister: No one likes me to be myself
Simon: I like you to be yourself
Sister: You're here again, trying to take care of me
Simon: I'm trying to be your friend again because I really need you.
The title of the film is youth and the royal family. These should be the two major issues of the film, personal growth and social class, so the film also involves class issues. From the beginning, Simon tried to integrate into the upper class. In order to get a good score, he left this place and had a family dinner. There was no place for the Simon family at the time. After the prince's affair with Simon was made public, the magazine wrote that he betrayed his class. In addition, there are family and friendship. These adolescence-themed plots are well filmed. Of course, there are many unreasonable points in the plot settings, but the flaws are not concealed. It is worth watching, at least much better than those silly and sweet idol dramas!
