Xiao Cheng Liang Fang is a masterpiece that uses the fireworks of a small town to speak about the sharpest propositions of existence.
完全神作,拍得落地、接地气,但表达的内涵又非常有艺术性和思辨性。

I need this kind of smooth, breathing-with-life TV drama that makes you cry and laugh at the same time.
我需要这种流畅的,有活人气息的,让人一会哭一会笑的电视剧。

Liu Zhengliang is slowly getting warmer and warmer too.
刘铮亮也在慢慢变得越来越热乎

This is just the ending of the drama, not Liu Zhengliang's; on the contrary, his rebirth has begun.
这只是剧的结局,不是刘铮亮的,相反他的新生开始了。

I oppose the de-intellectualization, short-dramaification, and stereotyping of long dramas
反对长剧低智化、短剧化、脸谱化

The female lead is trying way too hard to play a wicked woman.
女主为了演出恶女,用力很过猛了

Terrible acting, awkward character setups, and a poor plot.
演技烂,人设尬,剧情差。

The female lead's acting is so bad the character setup totally collapsed.
女主的演技差到让人设也没立住啊

The harder the heat fails to go up, the more money fans smash into it.
热度越上不去粉丝越砸钱

Anyone who has ever worked a job knows that inside a company, everyone has their own interests.
公司内部每个人有每个人的利益。

What on earth is the meaning of this, do lower-tier markets really love watching this stuff
到底是何意味啊,下沉市场就喜欢看这些是吗

Republican tragic romance just has to be a sea of hatred and deep love to hit the spot
民国虐恋就是要恨海情天,就是要执念纠缠才够味
