Why are Chinese entertainment dramas still often about middle-aged people falling in love?
Recently, I watched Hu Ge's "Why Is He Single," where a 40-year-old single toxic man falls in love with his female neighbor.
Today, I also came across "Sniping the Butterfly," where Chen Yanxi's character is with her 12-year-old college student sponsor.
Is it that people who enjoy these Qiong Yao dramas are getting older, while the post-00s are solely focused on making money? Ultimately, all these Qiong Yao dramas were bought by people born in the 80s and 90s. When that age group gets older, TV will be full of stories about grandparents and elderly people falling in love with caregivers every day.
