2021 TAIWANESE DRAMA : MOTHER TO BE (未来妈妈)

Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the simple #blogsocialdiary.

It has been quite a long since we posted the newest review of Taiwanese drama. It’s a 2019-2020 Taiwanese drama series called SomeDay Or One Day which has succeeded in reaching its target audiences and go to Japan! Click the link if you haven’t read about it later. Of course, after you are completing to read this review.

 



As I know and you could see in the right corner of the video, there is a logo of a specialization hospital or something like that. The Mother To Be series is official partnered with the kind of hospital. Because it tells us more about (mostly) woman’s health. Not only that but some problems of men’s is also told there. Likely, it is about the infertility case. There is some mental health issue that happens when someone keeps asking us when do you have a child?, or how’s come you haven’t got pregnant yet?.

Hey, just keep this statement in your mind: This kind of questions could bother someone so much. Sun Li Fang would tell you later in the series.

 

Gao Jia Fei works in a hospital as an Infertility Consultant. She aids women who want to get pregnant soon. She finds lots of story from a married woman who wants to have a child and what they dream for don’t happen instantly. How frustrating it is!



Gao Jia Fei is mature enough to  get married to her boyfriend, Du Bo Qian, a Marketing Leader in a game company. Nevertheless, she worries about the infertility case after she’s getting married. It threatens her so much. Once she rejected Du Bo Qian’s proposal because of her thought. It makes Du Bo Qian feels sad deeply. He never thinks Jia Fei would reject his proposal. He assumes that their relationship is okay and doesn’t have any bad debates. Jia Fei keeps her worry about the issue by herself. In earlier episodes, Jia Fei and Bo Qian decides to calm themselves in their ways. Lately, Jia Fei realizes that she loves Bo Qian. Also, she keeps thinking about him whenever she is alone. She gives Bo Qian another chance. They are getting married. The conflict appears after the wedding. They try hard to have a baby soon. Both of them love a child. It is the way they get along well with their niece. She is the daughter of Jia Fei’s younger brother.

After several times of trying, Gao Jia Fei gets pregnant. She and Du Bo Qian are happy. They can’t wait to announce the good news to Du Bo Qian’s Mom, Gao Jia Qi (Jia Fei’s brother), and his wife, and of course, to their friends. But, Jia Fei takes a careful way to announce her pregnancy due to her close friend, Sun Li Fang, also is trying to get pregnant. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have the chance to be a mother. Jia Fei knows Sun Li Fang’s pressure to get pregnant because of her mother-in-law.

Sadly, the time doesn’t allow Jia Fei and Bo Qian to be parents soon. About three months of pregnancy, Jia Fei had an accident in the hospital where she works. She loses the baby in her womb. Since the moment Jia Fei feels depressed. She can’t think about other things. All the things she has in her mind are why she should have them. She never expects that everything she and Bo Qian had prepared for their baby is useless. Bo Qian sees Jia Fei is so depressed. As a husband, he could feel it, as well. Bo Qian is getting frustrating seeing her wife keep silent all the time.

Then, Jia Fei and Bo Qian look for another method to get another chance of pregnancy. They consult it with the obstetrician in the hospital. Jia Fei takes some pills and injections to increase her fertility. It hurts her. However, it is the way she keeps getting pregnant again. She thinks that she is strong to stand for it.

 




Guo Qin is my favorite character in the series. Guo Qin is an independent woman. She has a good carrier in the company. Unfortunately, she is still single. She seems she isn’t able to fall in love with a guy easily. 

I guess this is a similar circumstance of the unmarried successful woman who has good level of carrier in the company.



 

Guo Qin is Gao Jia Fei’s senior. Guo Qin works in a pharmaceutical factory as a Representative. One of her duty brings her to get closer to the doctors in the hospital to discuss the drug ingredients. One of the doctors she often meets is Zhou Yong Ran, an obstetrician, and Gynecologist. Poor she is. Slowly, Guo Qin starts to love Zhou Yong Ran. It is okay to keep her feeling. In fact, Zhou Yong Ran has a family—a wife and a daughter who stay in Canada. As a bestie, Jia Fei alerts Guo Qin to stay away from Zhong Yong Ran. Guo Qin doesn’t take it in her mind. She chooses her way to loves Zhou Yong Ran.

Zhou Yong Ran has a good detachment to keep their family's trust when Guo Qin tries to get into him. He said to her that he has a child in Canada and he never leaves for her many times. But, that is called blind love. Guo Qin doesn't care much about it. She only cares about her feeling to the Doctor. Zhou Yong Ran is also a human and a man. He almost falls for Guo Qin in one night. Fortunately, his daughter comes up in his mind. He refuses Guo Qin. And, the day after he decides to come back to Canada to work there and not being far away from his family. He also doesn’t want to hurt Guo Qin any longer. She deserves to get the better one than him.

                              

Actually, Guo Qin doesn't know that there is a man who likes her silently. No, he doesn’t like her in silence. Wu Da Zhi, a café barista and freelance programmer, sometimes shows his caring toward her. But, as long dr. Zhou still exist in Guo Qin’s eyes, she won’t see Wu Da Zhi is a special person in her life. Wu Da Zhi is only a friend of Guo Qin. Lately, Guo Qin thinks of Wu Da Zhi’s existence differently. She feels empty when Da Zhi doesn’t work the usual thing for her. Finally, she realizes the one who waits for her sincerely is Wu Da Zhi. He could be mad when Guo Qin falls sick due to her carelessness and not informing him anything. From the moment, Guo Qin knows that Da Zhi Is willing to accept her unconditionally.

 

Next, we move on to Sun Li Fang’s marriage life.

 



Sun Li Fang is a patient and client of Gao Jia Fei in the hospital. Li Fang visits the Infertility Consultant because she wants to know what’s the matter of her body and the reason she hasn’t got pregnant yet. It will be okay since her husband, Yan Zheng Hao, doesn’t take it seriously. But, her mother-in-law does. It keeps her frustrating. Her mother-in-law keep asks her to gives her a grandchild.

Yan Zheng Hao, husband of Sun Li Fang, is a man from a wealthy family. Of course, because Yan Zheng Hao seems to have become his Dad’s successor to lead the construction company. Zheng Hao’s Mom cares enough about their status in public eyes. So, Mrs. Yan asks Li Fang to get used to wealthy family habits. It is a bit hard for Li Fang since she grew up in a normal family which runs life without any pressure of life prestige. Li Fang’s husband, Zheng Hao, and her dad-in-law never make it a must for Li Fang. But, it is a must from Mrs. Yan.


                             


Li Fang gets more pressure to act like a wealthy housewife since Yan Zheng Chi, Zheng Hao’s younger sister gets back from the U.S. Actually, Zheng Chi is kind to her sister-in-law. However, her mother does make her do the same. Additionally, the existence of Zheng Hao’s ex-girlfriend when they were studied in the U.S.,  creates a difficult phase for Li Fang. She keeps comparing her and Wang Lein (Elaine Wang). Also, with her parents, Zheng Chi praises Elaine so much. Li Fang hears it.

Then, Gao Jia Fei, Sun Li Fang, and Guo Qin needs time to relax. Guo Qin asks her two friends to makes their time for a while. Being isolated from their family. So, they would have a fresh mind to think and clear up the mess in their life. Because it is the way that Guo Qin does for her movement previously. And, it works! Li Fang gets happier than before. She seems prettier with a beautiful smile on her face.



As for Jia Fei. She can clear her mind and have a casual chat with Bo Qian about their future stage of life. They think about an adopted child.  So that, Jia Fei doesn’t need to take any pills any injections for increasing her fertility hormone. However, there are some thoughts until they are ready to have it.


Finally, I think Mother To Be is a recommended series that tells us about women’s health issues. How do not keep asking a woman how come they do not get pregnant? Because they have their mind themselves and not anyone knows their struggle behind. So, stop to ask about it to the married couple.

Also, stop to ask the unmarried-working women when will they got married. They would have it when their prince comes politely to them. Remember, everyone has their timing. No need to rush them.

You Are Not My Manager, You Are My Leader

 Hello, everyone!

It is a time for us to share with you our opinion. Likely, what we have posted before: What Employee Think About Your Company? and The Advantage of HR Personnel. Of course, you can read them later after you complete reading this post.


#blogsocialdiary


We guess what we are going to share with you here just like the experiences that she got when she had a job in the year 2017- a year that had made her grown-up. She had told us, I and Yingshan, about her Ex-Manager in the company. Until now, she keeps thinking that her Ex-Manager was the best leader she ever had. She said The Manager could be an idealistic person, but also she could be a real person. The manager could be someone who delegates her team well and lead the team just like a best friend who supports each other. A best friend? Is it really exist?

 

She said her Manager once was offered a Sales&Marketing Head Division by the CEO. But, she refused it. Because she didn’t have any experience in the marketing industry. Nevertheless, approximately in half and a year later, the CEO offered her again to be a Finance/Accounting and Administration Head Division. Fortunately, she accepted it. She said the position was suitable for her since she had experienced as a Financial System Business Consultant. Because of that, she also had a double job in the company: a Finance/Accounting and Administration Head Division and a Business Consultant. Can you imagine how tiring is it? But, she could negotiate her worktime with the CEO. It worked! Unfortunately, she decided to resign since she wanted to maximalize her potential in the political section. Well, it is her decision.

 

Hereby, some of the examples she shares with us refer to her Ex-Manager’s attitude at the time. Let’s decide if these ones are referred to the Leader or Managers.

 

1. She is telling not asking

Our supervisors usually asking for doing something, both if it is our duties or it is only something that she/she couldn’t handle for a moment. In other words, she would tell us before we do the (additional) task. That’s right! It is what The Ex-Manager of hers did. Perhaps, she thinks about responsibility. She makes an example first, and her team will follow under her control.



 

2. Let’s discuss and no need to get mad

As long they were teaming each other, she claimed her Ex-Manager never scold them. Or else, someone in the company has never been scolded by her. She always is kind to everyone. When something didn’t work right, she only said: “Hey, something is bothering your mood? Is there something you think about? Here, I listen up”.

 

3. Never scold a team in the public

It is still related to number two. When personnel in the team make a mistake, she invites the person to comes to the next room and talk to each other. No, she does not get mad. In the next room, what they do is having chat. That is.

 




4. She has our back to the CEO’s eyes

We work well with her as a teammate and someday a CEO ask they to discuss a job, her Ex-Manager wouldn’t let her team face it by themselves. When she works outside and the CEO is in the office, she asks the team to tell anything they are discussing with her supervisor. The next day, she has a meeting with the CEO and clarifies everything she should do.

 

5. She knows the ideal things, but also she knows how to be realistic

Being idealistic is good. In our opinion, it is the way we know that everything should be put in the right place. But, if something does not work like what we think, as usual, we cannot defend it as what we want to. We should see it from other perspectives. The Ex-Manager had taught her about it. And, change her mindset about idealism.





 


Hey, how are they? Do you think about something or someone while you are reading it?

Speaking truthfully, we do not mean to point someone who relates to this post. We want to show you there is a woman who used to be called by Manager. She isn’t an ordinary person to be a Manager. She is truly a Leader. Of course, she and her teammate felt down when their leader left the company.

 

We hope this post would be your insight to reflect our attitude to each other. Are we already doing something good for other people, or it is make people talk behind us?

Finally, we are done write down our opinion based on what our Author had told us about her inspiring Ex-Manager. Once again, keep something inspirational to get the best version of us in the future. Like what Ally does. Cheers!
