Treat People as People, Society as Society, and Reality as Reality

00:00 I recently finished a Japanese drama

00:03 called dele.

00:07 When I started watching it,

00:09 I saw that it had quite a high rating.

00:12 But after finishing it,

00:15 I felt the rating was a little inflated.

00:19 Yet when I reached the very end,

00:23 I was left with a powerful impression:

00:25 Japanese dramas

00:27 really do treat people as people,

00:31 society as society,

00:33 and reality as reality.

00:38 At the end of the final episode,

00:43 there was a man in power

00:45 who had done certain things

00:48 and was condemned for them, right?

00:52 If something like that happened

00:56 in a mainland Chinese drama,

00:59 it might end with justice being served.

01:06 But its treatment of this made me feel

01:10 that this was how reality actually works,

01:17 for reasons that can't be spoken of.

01:23 As I watched the ending,

01:26 I'd first felt the whole show was a bit...

01:31 how should I put it?

01:32 I wouldn't say it was dull

01:37 or that it had no highlights,

01:41 but in terms of the overall narrative,

01:44 it didn't offer many surprises.

01:48 Yet the way the ending was set up

01:50 left a deep impression on me.

01:52 It respected the way reality works.

01:55 That made me feel

01:58 that it truly

02:00 became the best part of the entire drama.
