How do you evaluate the TV series "Foreign Wife, Local Man"?

How to put it, the quality of this drama was a watershed around 2006. Before 2006, due to the high quality of the script and the better acting skills of the actors, this drama could sometimes criticize current ills! Moreover, those Xiguan mansions, old neighborhoods and certain festival customs in Guangzhou are all unique. However, since the actor Guo Chang, who played the second brother "Kang Qizong", passed away from cancer in 2006, the drama's soul has gradually "gone cold". First of all, the character of the "second brother" was made as bad as possible, saying that he abandoned his wife and children and went to a paradise island to marry another person. After that, he added a lot of supporting characters. The acting skills of the original Kang family actors gradually deteriorated. Then the script became less and less grounded, the lines became more and more "watery", and they were not at all relevant to people's livelihood. Some actors either passed away due to illness (such as Zhao Chu, Mai Tai, Liang Bo, etc.), or left the crew for various reasons. The acting skills of the newly added character actors are exaggerated, and the conflicts between the characters are too bland. It is basically a quarrel for the sake of quarrel. Every episode can have two episodes because of a small misunderstanding. Coupled with the soft placement of various advertisements, or some episodes are used to promote certain tourist attractions or products. As a result, some viewers thought they were watching a drama or an advertisement. Later, after the Kang family moved into the village in the city, for some reason, the main line of the story changed from telling about the Kang family to telling about the neighbors related to the Kang family, and the number of appearances of the Kang family decreased year by year. The original title was "Foreign Wife, Local Man", but now it is not more about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but about the relationship between neighbors. And the character designs are getting more and more exaggerated. For example, the eldest son of Kang Kang, the legitimate grandson Tianyou, was written as being too honest, so honest that he didn't even want to be like a normal person. To be honest, it would have been better to stop broadcasting when Azong passed away in 2006, so as to leave a message for everyone.
