What happens

《生活在別處的我》,是2024年中國時裝偶像劇,改編自2016年台灣劇集《荼蘼》,由韓青執導,鄒嘉妮擔任編劇,鍾楚曦、劉學義、林雨申主演。於2024年5月6日在騰訊視頻播出。 生活在樂山的夏果生活沒什麽波瀾,按部就班。與男友郁見的感情雖沒有轟轟烈烈,卻幸福而甜蜜。而夏果內心一直都希冀著她的人生能夠有一點點的不平凡,哪怕只有一點點。當夏果得到了去上海的工作機會,與郁見倆人幻想著未來時,郁見父親生病住院。夏果進退兩難,去還是不去? A方案:選擇去上海,上海的夏果到達了新的壞境後充滿幹勁,也期待著著郁見早日來與自己匯合。挑戰接踵而來,面對友情的考驗、事業的沖擊以及異地戀的痛苦,她都會想起,如果當初選擇留在老家,是不是會和現在不一樣? B方案:決定留在樂山的夏果很快和郁見結了婚,懷孕生子的她照顧起整個家。可生病虛弱的公公,不通情達理的婆婆,以及不省心的小姑子都讓她焦頭爛額。偏偏郁見的事業也搖搖欲墜,二人的感情也出現了危機。 上海的夏果最終還是和郁見分了手,成熟的總經理薛宇明、年輕的艾倫相繼走進她的人生,生活發生了翻天覆地的變化,可她內心的孤獨始終得不到疏解。老家的夏果困於生活瑣事,為省錢、為老人、為孩子終日奔波。她與郁見的隔閡也越來越大,人生徹底陷入困局。 經歷了兩種人生的夏果彼此相見了,她們詢問對方,如果可以知道答案以後,再做出選擇,我們的人生會不會是不同的樣子?
