如果你喜歡看電影或影集學中文，或者你想了解台灣人怎麼在生活中交錯₁使用台灣華語和台灣閩南語，甚至呢，你特別喜歡思考，對於人類的創傷₂經驗、或對受過創傷的人的內在世界也非常好奇的話，歡迎你來聽一聽今天這部影集的介紹。我使用的語言程度在HSK漢語水平考試的第5到第6級左右，語速是正常的。那我們開始囉！
今天介紹的台灣影集，中文片名是「她和她的她」，目前在亞洲的Netflix上面排名仍然是前十名，是由台灣演員許瑋甯和李程彬主演的。故事是從發生在養老院的一件命案₃開始，媒體不斷報導這則新聞，但好像都和女主角林晨曦沒有關係，她還是繼續過著她自己的生活，在一家公司當一名非常優秀的獵人頭顧問₄。不過漸漸地，隨著劇情發展，我們發現她在工作時碰到了一些對於女性相當不公平的事情。仔細看女主角對這些事的反應，會感覺她好像有什麼苦衷₅。這一切，到了第二集，晨曦發生了車禍之後，就完全改變了。
在第二集裡，我們跟著晨曦一起醒過來，卻來到了一個不太一樣的世界。林晨曦這時候已經回到了老家，而在她記憶當中已經過世的父親和弟弟，兩個人竟然都還活著，但是他身邊的男友卻不存在了，她工作的公司也不在原來的大樓裡面，林晨曦就像是來到了一個平行₆時空當中，所以觀眾也只能跟著她一步一步地尋找事情的真相。
「她和她的她」的片名用的都是女字旁1的她，顯然是一部女性導向₇的影集。這齣₈戲用了九集的時間，去探討女性在職場上的不平等、性騷擾₉和性侵害₁₀等等這些議題₁₁，也試著呈現事件發生之後受害者的心靈狀態。因為主題很沉重，影集的步調₁₂很慢，有些影評就覺得不需要拍成九集，太長了，不過我倒認為這是有必要的。這部片就像是觀眾跟著女主角用第一人稱的方式，開始勇敢地面對當初不想要再一次想起的痛苦回憶，然後試著透過與人互動對話，更認識自己，才能慢慢地修補心中的破洞。雖然說影集是懸疑驚悚片，但更像一齣心理劇，我一邊看劇、會一邊思考到底發生了什麼事，就像跟著劇中的警察一起辦案一樣，會讓我想要繼續看下去。
這部影集會這麼受歡迎，除了演員的表現出色之外，可能也因為台灣比較少戲劇像這樣經由懸疑片的方式，直接討論非常敏感的話題。我和朋友在最後一集都忍不住哭了，我們都能感受到林晨曦的痛苦，也幾乎能了解她為什麼這麼絕望。看完這齣劇，也更能同理受害者的心情了。就像影集主題曲₁₃的歌詞2：
受過傷的靈魂₁₄、總有無形的疤痕₁₅
受害者的傷痛很難癒合。
如果你跟我一樣，希望更深入了解受過傷的人ー不管是家人也好、朋友也好ー想了解他們是如何看待自己和這個世界，又是用什麼心情看待身邊的人，那這部片確實提供了一個很完整、很接近真實的回答。所以在這邊我把這部在Netflix上播出的影集推薦給大家。
1女字旁 = 部首是「女」。例如：她(女+也)、媽(女+馬)。

The title of the Taiwanese TV series I am introducing today is “Shards of Her.” The series currently ranks in the top ten on Netflix Asia, starring Taiwanese actors Tiffany Hsu and Toby Lee. The story begins with murder investigations at a nursing home. Though remaining as breaking news on all forms of mass media, it seems that the case has nothing to do with our heroine Lin Chenxi. She goes on with her own life and excels as a headhunter. As the plot thickens, we gradually glimpse traces of gender inequality in the workplace. Chenxi’s reactions to these incidents have dropped hints that she has been going through hardship stemming from a traumatized past. Then there follows a drastic change after Chenxi has a car accident.
We wake up with Chenxi in the second episode to a different world. At this point, she has already returned to her hometown. But it turns out that in this reality, her father and her younger brother, both supposed to be dead, are still alive. Her boyfriend no longer exists, and the company she has been working for has vanished, too. Now that she has come to this parallel world, the viewers have no choice but to follow her step by step to look for the truth behind this complete mayhem.
The Chinese title of “Shards of Her” utilizes the Chinese character “Tā” three times with the radical that refers to women, so apparently, it is a female-oriented series. The drama spent nine episodes exploring issues such as gender discrimination against women in the workplace, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. It is also intended to represent the mental state of the victims after such incidents happen. It tackles intense issues at a slow pace. Some critics suggested achieving the same result with fewer episodes. But as far as I’m concerned, I agree that the deliberate use of slow pacing might be necessary. It is like we’re facing the painful memories that are too hard to look back at from the first-person point of view with the protagonist. We try to slowly mend the hole in our hearts by interacting and conversing with people to learn about ourselves. The series is more of a psychological drama than a suspense thriller as it is. As watching it, I kept thinking about what was happening, and I felt like I was investigating the case just like the cop in the series and couldn’t help clicking on one episode after another.
The series possibly went viral for two reasons. Apart from the outstanding performance of most actors in it, there have been relatively fewer Taiwanese dramas that explicitly go over sensitive topics through a suspense genre like this one. Both my friend and I couldn’t help crying as we watched the last episode. We empathized with Lin Chenxi and her excruciating pain and almost understood why she grew desperate. After watching this series, I can better identify with the victim’s feelings. It’s just like the lyrics from the theme song of this series:
In a wounded soul, there are always invisible scars
The lasting pain of a victim is difficult to heal.
If you are like me, you wish to learn more about people who have been hurt — whether they are a family member or a friend — you want to know how they view themselves and this world, or how they make sense of the people around them, this drama does provide an answer that is well-rounded and pretty close to the truth. So here I recommend this Netflix series to you all.
