《English Translation》黄刚: Xiaohua, did you see the finale of 'A Pretty Good Life'? There's a storm of criticism online—everyone's saying the ending is ridiculous.
陈花: I did! I don’t get it either. Hu Manli was strong and independent earlier, but in the end she easily forgave her ex-husband Ding Zhiyuan. It felt like her character collapsed instantly.
黄刚: Exactly! I really liked her character—Sun Li acted so well—but the ending made no sense. Dong Zijian’s character also changed so suddenly. The plot logic just fell apart.
陈花: Even my students are complaining, saying that Chinese dramas often ‘start strong and end weak’—great beginnings, but rushed endings.
黄刚: It’s a real problem. There are so many shows now, but few can maintain high quality throughout. Writers and directors really need to reflect on this.
陈花: Yes, a good drama should not only start well, but also keep the audience engaged until the end—not leave them disappointed.
