In recent years,dramas themed around women have gradually reached a bottleneck period,revealing issues such as stereo-typed characters,formulaic plots,and idealized endings.The reasons behind this are twofold:on one hand,influenced by binary opposite thinking,female independence is often built on the basis of weakening the opposite gender,attempting to replace and thereby resist the patriarchal society,which has led these dramas into the narrow confines of revenge-themed entertainment;on the other hand,affected by consumer culture,women's issues are used as gimmicks to attract viewers,creating extreme environments through exaggerated diffi-culties and anxiety-inducing narratives,oversimplifying the meaning of independence,and excessively glorifying economic capability,causing the female audience to be once again labeled as materialistic and reduced to mere consumers,eliciting public backlash.As the reputation of dramas themed around women continues to decline,The Making of an Ordinary Woman has created a ratings miracle sin-gle-handed.It carves a new path by questioning uniform standards,blurring distinctive features,emphasizing growth processes,and highlighting collaborative futures,opening up new possibilities for dramas themed around women.
