男言之隐 18

Plot: The drama delves into the topic of"male silence syndrome" and showcases the struggles and endurance of middle-aged men under family, career, and emotional pressures through the stories of Chen Mo and Lin Kun. The plot is cleverly designed, such as Chen Mo secretly driving for his daughter's surgery without telling his family, only to encounter his wife and suitor walking together at the entrance of the community. He chooses to turn around silently, reflecting the middle-aged man's patience and self-esteem; Lin Kun voluntarily gave up his spot during the hospital evaluation because he was afraid of not being able to control his hand tremors during public speeches. This"self sacrificing avoidance" is even more heartbreaking. Production: The production team used camera language to enhance the expression of"secrecy", such as Chen Mo's office always being brightly lit, but when he is alone, the blinds cut out mottled light and shadow, like a divided self;; Lin Kun's clinic is always filled with the smell of disinfectant, and in close-up shots, his fingers playing with the stethoscope are more nervous than the patient's. Theme: The drama does not pursue forced perfection, but rather offers the possibility of healing.. Chen Mo finally confessed his predicament to his wife, and what he received was not blame but a hug; In a charity drama, Lin Kun was recognized by a high school student suffering from depression as"taking the same medicine", which actually gave him the courage to publicly disclose his condition. The ending stopped when the two of them met again at a barbecue stall. This time, they ordered two skewers of waist. Chen Mo said,"I resigned and opened a studio," while Lin Kun laughed,"I joined a doctor's mutual aid group." There was no earth shattering comeback, only the two men finally dared to say to the world,"I need help," feeling relieved.
