Reality show follows couples lacking marital bliss
The program enlists the expertise of Shen Yifei, an associate professor of sociology from Fudan University, along with several other celebrities, such as singer-songwriter Hu Yanbin, actress-vlogger Jiang Yilei, and Taiwan anchorwoman Patty Hou, to observe the couples as they face communication challenges, conflicts and other hurdles during their journey.
With the release of its first episode, online discussions about the show have surged. Particularly noteworthy is the dynamic between Yang and Huang, a couple deeply intertwined in their careers as Huang is signed under Yang's company.
Despite being married for 17 years, the two exhibit a surprisingly distant stance in their perspectives on life. Yang, who confidently speaks in front of others, struggles to grasp Huang's expressions, leading to his wife gradually losing her desire to communicate.
The series delves into the shifting dynamics of gender roles within marital relationships, the evolving nature of marital responsibilities and the power imbalances that lie beneath unspoken tensions.
By examining the emotional patterns that surface in the three couples' interactions, the show aims to present intimate relationships as a reflection of broader societal issues, serving as a mirror for personal growth for both participants and viewers.
