Why do you call me fat!

The first opportunity to start this drama was that a certain male teacher in the office always connoted my body shape intentionally or unintentionally. Every time I had lunch, he kept telling me to eat less, often calling me "strong" and so on. At first, I thought that I don't care, I'm just a normal body shape, and I'm not really a thin fairy, but because he often mentions it, I always feel uncomfortable. One day I accidentally brushed everyone and found this drama.

The protagonist is a single-parent family, likes to overeat and overeats sweets, and the weight is out of control. Due to various reasons in life, one day he had a mental breakdown and chose to commit suicide and was admitted to a mental hospital. This drama tells the story of the girl who readjusts to life and embraces life after she is discharged from the hospital.

From the beginning to the end, the plot did not make the girl lose weight into a body shape acceptable to the public, but only emphasized accepting herself. Even a little fat girl will gain love, friendship, and have a beautiful and complete life. Although this "self-acceptance" type of drama is a bit immune to watching too many, many points in the drama are very moving.

For example, when the girl chooses to commit suicide again, she sees the world after her death in a coma: everything has changed, and everything that should be on the right track is out of control. That's when her friend told her "Did you just think you could slip out of the world without nothing happening because of it? Do you think anyone can do that?" At the origin, there is a small whirlpool just for you.

The girl went to see a psychiatrist regularly, but the psychiatrist's life was also a mess, and finally went home to recuperate after the two girls he treated and chose to commit suicide and give up. When the girl visited the doctor again and told him "It's not your fault", the doctor burst into tears.

Doctors have said a lot of life principles, my favorite is this sentence "Whatever situation you find yourself in, there is always, always, always a way out... You can't spend the rest of your life being afraid of people rejecting you . You have to start by not rejecting yourself. You don't deserve it. So, from now on, people either accept you for who you are, or they can fuck off because you are an amazing person."

Be the most authentic self and embrace the real life. After watching the drama, I really want to say fuck off to a certain male teacher who used to mean me, but unfortunately I am still a soft bun in reality~

    The accent is so cute! The heroine Sherlock is a rotten female fan

    With the skin in front, Channel 4 can easily shoot such youth-themed dramas! Who is not in secondary school, and which girl is not in love with spring, Fei Rui is too much like a friend of mine! I always think of her when I watch this drama, it's very kind. The original sound is great, and the nostalgic atmosphere deliberately created has a unique taste
