Although "School for Teenagers" and "Little Joy" are both about high school life, the former focuses more on the story and growth of four teenagers, while the latter obviously focuses on the differences caused by the different degrees of parental companionship and intimacy between different families. This is why these two plays focus on learning and growth, but give the audience completely different psychological feelings.
Secondly, there are great differences and disputes between the two dramas, which are the layout of the plot and the development of the story line. In TV series, whether the plot scene can be highly restored to reality is related to whether the audience can be well brought into the plot to resonate. One of the main reasons for the low online rating of "Youth School" after its launch is that the audience thinks that the writers don't respect the real high school life, and the layout of the dormitory, classroom and other scenes in the play is too "suspended" and not grounded enough.
In contrast, Little Joy seems to win the audience's love in this respect, but there is a good saying that art comes from life, but it is also higher than life. After all, TV plays are not documentaries, and sometimes some scenes are arranged to better create dramatic conflicts. However, I have to say that "little joy" is not unreasonable. As one of the two high-scoring dramas, its scene layout seems to pay more attention to details and be closer to life.
Speaking of the development of story lines, viewers who have seen these two dramas know that the plots of these two dramas do not develop along only one line, and each drama has a main line and a sub-line, which belongs to the type of TV series with multiple story lines developing together. "School of Youth" can be recognized by many peers probably because the family line is true enough. When I saw Lin's mother, it was almost the restoration of family life! In the homes of thousands of high school students in Qian Qian, China, I don't know how many times this situation between mother and child has been staged. But in contrast, the campus line of this drama is much inferior. The experimental classes in key middle schools in the play are disorganized and undisciplined, which does not conform to most real life settings.
For the story line of little joy, not over-amplifying contradictions is one of the reasons for its strong sense of substitution. It is no exaggeration to tell a true story, "grounding gas" and "not hanging" are the fundamental reasons for its success. The story of three families and three lines tells the education methods of different families and the relationship between parents and children, which greatly covers the different situations that will happen in today's high school students' families and embodies the image of China's family group.
Let's talk about the different character settings in the two plays first. In Little Joy, the other two families also have distinct personalities, such as Eiko's suffocating desire for control and Ji's lack of parent-child relationship. Although this character setting is not comprehensive enough, it has also become the epitome of many families.
As one of the two low-rated dramas, Pi was well received from the beginning, and many viewers found a sense of substitution in it, also because the characters, especially the parents, were simply the real version of "Me and your mother". But the only drawback is that individual characters are too funny. For example, Qian Sanyi, the super schoolmaster in the play, has a distinctive and likable personality, but the screenwriter has over-templated this role in order to highlight the character. In order to reflect the personality of Xueba, you don't have to wear headphones in class. In addition, some teachers have the same problems in their roles. However, on the other hand, there is a gap between TV series and real life, and this dramatic setting is only to enrich the plot.
In fact, both plays show the family contradictions and conflicts in today's society. They take the campus and family of teenagers as the starting point, not only focus on the growth of children, but also show the conflict of different family education concepts. Education and youth are the hurdles that parents and children should and must cross together. These problems will resonate with parents and children. As the saying goes, this is not necessarily true, but it is realistic.
