TVB's 56th-anniversary show,*The Queen of News*,has become popular across the country. It stars actors Charmaine Sheh and Kenneth Ma. People enjoy talking about its plot(情节)and copying its pointed lines.
The show got 8.2 points out of 10 on the review website Douban. Telling the stories of news reporters competing for the top spot during golden time,some said,the show was a bit *over the top*. But the fantastic plot where the main character overcomes(克服)challenges on the way to success is loved by many.
*The Queen of News* is a so-called “feel-good drama”,a type of drama that has become more and more popular in recent years. But why do people enjoy such dramas so much? One of the reasons is that the plots in these shows are easy to follow. They often tell stories where the main character goes from facing difficulties to seeking revenge(复仇)and,in the end,winning respect and success.
These shows allow people to forget about their worries and challenges in life and feel happy while watching them. Han Ning,a psychological doctor who works in Nanjing,told the *Yangtze Evening Post* that feel-good dramas can help with mental(心理的)health in some ways. These shows can meet the emotional(情感的)needs of the audience(观众). They also help people lower their stress levels.
However,some people worry that feel-good dramas may lead people to look at life in an unrealistic(不切实际的)way. If people look too deeply into these big personality changes of characters and the excitement of the story,it may influence how they think they should live their lives,noted *Guangming Daily*. The newspaper added that these dramas should cut out the over-the-top parts that are larger-than-life.
