As Long As We Are Together: A Captivating Drama Unveiling the Complexities of Life

The TV series "As Long As We Are Together" has captured the trivialities of our lives with the same fervor as popular variety shows. But don't be quick to assume that this is just an ordinary family drama. Beneath its glossy surface lies a portrayal of the various contradictions of real-life society, the brilliance and darkness of human nature, kindness and evil, rationality and emotions, loyalty and betrayal, all of which are revealed throughout the show.

First, let's take a look at the admirable couple, Ye Yi Fan and He Jia Ru. They lead an ordinary yet happy life. Feng Dan remains unchanged and presents a condition to Hou Yuan Yuan: if she agrees to a divorce, he will treat Chen Jia Qi as his own daughter and send her abroad for studies.

Hou Yuan Yuan, considering her daughter's future, once found herself in a dilemma. However, she ultimately trusts Chen Li and chooses to stay. Chen Jia Qi gets involved in a school controversy, causing concern for Hou Yuan Yuan and even making her contemplate divorce. But Chen Jia Qi resolves the issue using her own strength, bringing peace back to the family.

The perseverance of this couple is touching and thought-provoking. It is a journey of mature love, a responsibility of acceptance, and a happiness found in the little things. Guan Shu Ying's behavior angers Hou Yuan Yuan, leading to continuous conflicts that escalate into a hospital scene. Guan Shu Ying goes to extreme lengths, pretending to have a heart condition and placing the blame on Hou Yuan Yuan.

While lying, she also pushes Chen Jia Qi to a point where she can no longer continue her studies. Chen Li and Hou Yuan Yuan humbly seek Guan Shu Ying's forgiveness to resolve the predicament but are met with rejection. The whole situation becomes a maze of confusion as Guan Shu Ying's family members take sides, all claiming that Hou Yuan Yuan was the one responsible for the fallout.

Even though Guan Shu Ying was initially at fault, Chen Jia Qi finds herself in a difficult situation after being persuaded to leave school. She is forced to return to her hometown due to household registration issues, but she struggles to adapt. Everything in the small town disgusts her, and she becomes a target of bullying at school. Despite being a teacher, Guan Shu Ying turns a blind eye to Chen Jia Qi's struggles.

In stark contrast, another young female teacher displays a responsible attitude when dealing with student issues, providing timely care and guidance to Lv Qingqing. She aligns herself with Song Xiao, betraying her trust in He Jia Ru, ultimately leading to He Jia Ru's imprisonment. Jiang Xiao Shan's repentance may seem deeply moving, but it is actually an attempt to make amends for her actions, a helpless choice after her evil deeds are exposed.

In the conclusion of the TV series, some find joy in their families, while others are burdened by their crimes. Chen Li returns to her family, Feng Dan departs alone, and Fang Wen Bin upholds his principles, allowing the wrongdoers to face the consequences. Jiang Xiao Shan turns herself in, but fate cannot change the choices she made in the past.

Life is full of ups and downs, with complex emotions, and "As Long As We Are Together" presents a true depiction of these realities amidst the chaos of the world. Perhaps, every character's choices serve as vibrant hues in life, revealing the truth of human nature to us.
