The First Half of My Life tells the story that Luo Zijun, a typical full-time wife, went from despair to introspection after being cheated and divorced, and finally realized the counterattack of life and became a modern independent woman.
Luo Zijun's transformation is inseparable from the three people who have the greatest influence on her in her life: Tang Jing, her best friend, He Han, her boyfriend, and Chen Junsheng, her ex-husband. The most interesting point of the plot is that Luo Zijun, who was divorced by a third party, eventually became a "three". Although he was in the name of true love, he still ruined the relationship between Tang Jing and He Han after ten years of wind and rain. The end of this love triangle ended in He Hanyuan's departure, but Tang Jing still could not forgive Zijun's emotional betrayal.
On the other side, Chen Junsheng's family life after divorce and remarriage is not satisfactory. In the long-term relationship, he gradually discovered Lingling's dark side, but he didn't have the courage to ask for a divorce again, and finally chose to compromise in the face of reality.
I don't know if it was the writer's intention. The first half of my life gave the audience an open ending with infinite reverie, and several foreshadowing in the finale seemed to indicate the possibility of the second part. Not to mention whether "My First Half of Life 2" will exist in the end, these appetizing foreshadowing alone are enough to give the audience a reason to continue chasing.
foreshadowing 1: When the relationship between He Han and Zijun went to the finale, Zijun and He Han were on the same dock but missed it again. In fact, we all hope that the person Zijun saw when he turned back was He Han, and then smiled at him for a long time and said, Long time no see. In fact, when He Han gave up all his fame and fortune in the first half of his life to protect Tang Jing, the entanglement between him and Tang Jing had come to an end. In feelings, it is difficult for us to define who is right and who is wrong. The only mistake is that He Han did not secretly fall in love with Zijun before a complete showdown with Tang Jing. In the finale of "My First Half Life", Zijun's last sentence was meaningful. She said, "Only after we leave can we understand how important it is for us to be willing and unwilling to give up things." Zijun left Shanghai with Aunt Wu. Before leaving, she may still be afraid to face He Han's feelings, because Tang Jing is also guilty of her own heart. But after leaving that city, maybe Zijun can really understand what she wants, and whether her final emotional affiliation is He Han or not can only be seen in the second part.
foreshadowing 2: Chen Junsheng and Ling Ling
In the finale of My First Half of Life, Ling Ling was used by friends to frame Tang Jing, while Chen Junsheng took the position of He Han by mistake. When Tang Jing asked him to question the truth, Chen Junsheng's heart was actually not happy. Watching his best friend take the blame and leave, he knew that Lingling had done everything, but he could only choose to hide the truth in his inner suffering. Luo Zijun went to Chen Junsheng before he left and said, "Congratulations, Manager Chen". At that moment, Chen Junsheng's pent-up emotion broke out completely. He told Luo Zijun painfully that he wanted to go back to the past, the past. In the end, Lingling revealed the truth to the world, and Chen Junsheng held her tightly in her arms in a complicated mood. However, once there is a crack in their relationship, it will be a very difficult defect for the remarried family. Chen Junsheng has been caught between two families for a long time, and Lingling's gentle and kind image in his mind has all collapsed. What he and Lingling are experiencing seems to be what he and Luo Zijun once experienced. What will happen to their feelings is also a very exciting part in the second part.
foreshadowing 3: emotional closeness of Tang Jing
After He Han left, Tang Jing sent him a message: You will never know how much you missed someone who loved you. Although He Han's mobile phone has already been disconnected, he may never hear this message. But as a final farewell to this relationship, she still sent this message out. In fact, in the whole drama, Tang Jing is the most hurt. The audience can see how deep her feelings for He Han are and how good she is for Zijun. But in the end, she not only lost ten years of love but also lost ten years of friendship. Ten years, how many ten years in life can be wasted. It's hard to imagine whether Tang Jing will fall in love with others in the next life.
If The First Half of My Life 2 can be published in the future, I'm looking forward to finding the answer. No matter who they are, I also hope that they can finally have a happy ending.
