You are perfect, You are strong.

It took me several days to watch the first and second seasons of "Ferry's Crazy Diary" on and off, and I'm going to make up for the third season. Although many comments say that this British drama is quite Soviet, it is true that the fat and strong heroine in it has a good luck with peach blossoms, but in my eyes, although the protagonists are very good, they are not young! Who did not commit hypocrisy when they were young. The twists and turns of the plot and the analysis of the heart, beauty and ugliness fly together, and the essence is the same... There are many protagonists in it that make people love and hate, because this character more or less reflects what each of us is or has experienced. Some dark sides and negative energies in the past rebellious period, as well as the painful self-struggle and self-redemption of trying to seize a glimmer of hope.
Fei Rui is recovering from mental illness. She has worked hard to integrate into her circle of friends to become a natural blender of her circle of friends. She has gone from neurotic self-denial and self-closure to confidently facing the eyes of others. She is sensitive from the heart. Selfishness has turned into optimism and self-confidence... She has been struggling, she has been looking for an outlet, she has always wanted to shrink herself into a ball and not be seen, she has always wanted to die, but she has been trying her best to save herself. She is fat, sensitive and inferior, and her special upbringing makes her hostile and afraid of the world. Her wild thoughts and subjective assumptions made her fall into endless self-denial and anxiety; she was very fragile, desperate for someone to understand her, she was stubborn, she was obsessed with her fatness, the goddamn shortcoming, she didn't realize that she was also wonderful. Her hysterical and morbid behavior and inner thoughts, but through this character, I saw the shadow of myself in the previous period of secondary illness, the self-centered neurosis, and I can't wait to prove that I have grown up and different, and made Many things that seem to be only mentally retarded now. Extreme self-esteem is actually an inferiority complex, unwilling to be ordinary and afraid of attracting attention.
It is better to rely on others to save yourself than to give yourself the affirmation of "you are strong and you are very good". Even if you have many reliable friends around you, the consequences of your own inferiority complex and conceited and arrogant mentality still have to be tangled and digested by yourself. If you can't do it, then wait to be slapped by reality. People are often defeated by themselves to the point of no redemption before they even start fighting.

    BGM lives up to its name. Male gods change every day.

    The core of the story is also a standard youth drama, but it is not lost. Character setting (fat heroine and half geek half rock god) + time setting (The good old 90's) + soundtrack make this show interesting.
