The annual refreshing drama
"Hurry Up"
How to judge whether a drama is a hit or not? It has at least two elements, a popular actor and a popular story.
"Crazy" is undoubtedly the one that best matches this kind of explosion among all domestic dramas this year. It not only once again verified the acting skills of Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen, but also made Gao Ye, Li Jian, Jia Bing, Su Xiaoding, Aruna, etc. Waiting for powerful supporting roles, ushered in a "spring of good actors".
As for the popular memes contributed by "Cyclonus", they are also well-known - there is no one who doesn't know what "Old Mo, I want to eat fish" means, right? It is a good sign for the film and television industry to have a "Hurry Up" film at the beginning of 2023.
Since then, "Hurry Up" has become the benchmark for hit dramas throughout this year.
"The Three-Body Problem"
A science fiction theme that is unpopular and not easy to get into, a huge and hard-to-please book fan base, and an original story that requires very technical skills to adapt, "The Three-Body Problem" is an extremely good piece no matter which angle it is evaluated from. A tough nut to crack.
However, I never expected that the drama version would be so successful. It won the highest praise from book fans on the first day it aired, and it was called a "book-cutting remake". I would like to ask, is there any other work in the big IP world that has won this honor? Very rarely, this is a new word coined by the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem". What is valuable about
is that not only the content and temperament of the story are "cut out", but the technical special effects also do not disappoint, especially the restoration of the game part, which is worth kneeling down and crying.
Even though the Netflix version has been previewed, it is true that it looks rich, but this time we can really pat our chests and say: "domestic products" have won!
"The Long Season"
In 2023, the suspense genre inexplicably came to the forefront, the drama became popular, and the movie also made a lot of money. But The Long Season is also very unique in this field.
Its story is about murder and solving crimes, but the way of expression does not belong to the traditional crime drama method. It is more like inserting a case into a swaying, sad life drama. The case is part of life, and life is the story of Wang Xiang, Gong Biao, Ma Dui, Shen Mo, Li Qiaoyun and other two generations. , that autumn that seems to never get out and is trapped.
Autumn means harvest, but in their autumn, no matter how sunny it looks, it can't resist the cold air. I have to say that Xin Shuang is really a master at picking out the mood and temperament of a drama.

The annual eye-catching drama
"The Ming Dynasty under the Microscope"
This year's high-level costume drama aesthetic can withstand microscope-level magnification and scrutiny.

In terms of creating an oriental atmosphere and aesthetics, Guo Jingming proved his ability in layout and creation with this suspenseful costumed Werewolf.
"One Thought Off the Mountain"

A story full of suspense, a sparkling run-in, full and vivid group portraits, and the texture of real-life shooting... Every detail is carefully described, making this costume drama leave a strong mark on the small screen at the end of 2023. Pen.
Liu Shishi is still able to compete in ancient costumes after many years. Whether it's makeup or action scenes, they all give people a pleasing feeling. The lonely smoke in the desert, the majestic chivalry, the children of the rivers and lakes, cold and righteous on the surface, hunting in red, white robes in the wind, swordsmanship, and radiant light.
Once I get it on my head, I can't move my eyes away.
How can things in this world go as one wishes? I would rather travel far away in the rivers and lakes.

annual top drama
"Can't Hide Secretly"
It is a refreshing and sweet bowl of sugar water this summer.
At first, it was the innocent throbbing of a young girl. The shy eyes every time she looked at the other person, the fox doll he gave, the milk bottle filled with stars, these secret and poignant emotions formed a pure and passionate secret love.
was the response from the beloved Duan Jiaxu. He slowly understood Sang Zhi and himself, and he did not hesitate to cut himself open, just to give the girl the most sincere answer to her passion.
"Can't Hide Secretly" is a story of a girl's growth, and it is also a two-way healing and pursuit of "childish love".
"It's Just Love"
is pronounced as "sibling love" and written as "adult love".
Song Sanchuan and Liang Youan, from acquaintance to acquaintance, from colleagues to friends, are all told in plain and natural writing. There is no blood and industrial saccharine, but it is delicate enough and full of tension.
I am addicted to "Sansei Youxing" because I saw a sister-brother relationship in the drama, or the correct way to start a healthy love relationship: regardless of age or identity, truly equal, understand and respect each other, and become each other's confidence. .
Just like what Song Sanchuan said, "The best love, why does it have to look up or down? Shouldn't it be looking at the same level?" This is also the original appearance of love.
"Peace is like a dream"
"Peace is like a dream", childhood sweethearts "there is tranquility in the swallow", love for each other "covering the love for peace", forced love "writing poems for Ning"... It's really delicious.
Even though it is impossible for every relationship to be perfect, it is natural to regret missing your lover. What is rare is that every relationship is full and sincere, and is the best.
But I still want to say quietly, Jiang Xuening cares about Zhang Zhe and Yan Lin, otherwise he should stop asking Xie Wei to show his favor. It is more important for the four of you to live a good life than anything else.

Annual liver-damaging drama
"Sauvignon Blanc"
I have never seen such a drama, it is physically and mentally abusive and makes people want to stop.
The blood in her eyes was the pain of her flesh and blood, and Xiaoyao felt sad in her heart but could not tell anyone. I met my brother without knowing him, the one I loved was engaged, and I missed the silently guarding Xiangliu...
However, in the era of chaos and separatism, I was forced to be involved in the torrent of fate. I couldn't help but love, hate, and escape. The inextricable fate is like a dead knot that cannot be untied. No one is innocent and everyone is guilty. There is only a sigh.
"Long Moon Ashes"
"Long Moon Ashes" revolves around the ultimate theme of fairy tale dramas: the common people are still one person.
In order to save the turbulent times, Li Susu went back to five hundred years ago with the mission of "preventing Tantai Jin from becoming a demon", and the way to stop him was to kill him. Various misunderstandings were intertwined and entangled in the three lives of humans, gods and demons. The soul-killing nail was driven into his heart, and she also used fairy marrow to replace his evil bones, but it ended miserably.
However, love flattens the cliff and makes the loveless develop love. Tantai Jin is saved by Li Susu, and it is finally his turn to save the world.
My liver is really aching from being tortured, but I am always moved by fate.
"Ancient Lovesickness"
2023 The dark horse of ancient dramas is none other than "Ancient Lovesickness".
Shen Buyan, a best-selling historical writer from modern times, met Lu Yuan, the "demon queen" who lived in the history books through time, and the fate of the two people intersected. The story seems to be the same as that of other dramas of the same type, but its essence lies in the fact that the worlds of
Shen and Lu exist in opposite and displaced timelines. His encounter is her departure, and his ending is hers. Start. Even if there is no solution and they are destined to pass by each other, they are still looking for each other in the reverse river, and rush to this love that spans thousands of years without hesitation.
The pure love warrior fell to the ground. This is probably the so-called "extreme sadomasochism".

annual heartwarming drama
"Go Where the Wind Is"
"Go Where the Wind Is" scored 8.7 on Douban. Is it any worse than the so-called similar overseas high-scoring dramas?
is not bad at all: the actors are eye-catching, it has it, every frame of the painting style is pleasing to the eye, it has it, the story is heart-warming and healing, it has it, the mood it provides is very soothing, peaceful and beautiful, and it helps to remove the depression in the heart. , it also has.
Therefore, this drama really sets an example for the trend of creative works that focus on trending topics rather than the audience’s survival. If the slow drama is slow, the market will be rich.
"Hometown, You're Safe"
A drama that hits women's tears, pain points, and joys all at once, "Hometown, You're Safe" must be one of them.
It focuses on the role setting of a four-person bestie group. To be honest, it is not new, but the interaction between the four sisters feels like they are "acting me" instead of pretending to be in love throughout the whole process. It is done, which is very fresh.
Then, the daily work routine, parents’ nagging, and account books written down for a few dollars are laid out in detail. The shape of life can be touched, the smell of life can be smelled, and the feelings of life can be warmed. .
"The Ordinary Road"
Is it a workplace drama involving legal issues? The style must have the characters wear high-end fashion, wear stilettos, and walk on the red carpet in an office building in a pretentious but incomprehensible manner? "The Ordinary Road" gave the answer: without pretending to be high-end, without trying too hard to make money, a story about an ordinary office worker working hard in a law firm can be very interesting.
The "good" thing about a good story is that it touches people and empathizes with them. So what kind of stories are the most empathetic? They are always about ordinary people and ordinary things.
didn't mean to say anything bad about Guo Qilin, but the lead actor in a drama dared to show off Guo Qilin's "ordinary" face, so powerful and courageous. This may be the reason why this drama is heartwarming, because it is ordinary enough, ordinary enough, and sincere enough.

annual appetizer drama
"Lan Gui's Happy Event"
non-IP, no traffic, all based on word of mouth to get out of the industry.
"Lan Gui's Happy Affair" is a light comedy with a costume theme. As you can tell from the title, it focuses on the female market. It tells the story of a professional mother, Liu Lin, who tries her best to choose a son-in-law for her four daughters with very different personalities. The first reason why
has become such a hit is because of its good casting skills. The two protagonists, Liu Lin and Li Jiaqi, are the kings of emojis. They can make people laugh with every move they make. The supporting roles are also players like Yang Haoyu, Xiang Xia, and Han Yunyun who have a sense of joy. They can make the audience laugh with just a little effort.
The second best thing is that the rhythm is comfortable. "Lan Gui's Happy Event" doesn't have much ambition, it just aims to have fun. The story is very TVB, focusing on the petty and trivial matters of parents, and it also incorporates many current hot memes and jokes. It is a good electronic mustard.
"I Have a Friend"
This is a low-cost online drama. Director Bi Xinye, also known as Douban Orientation Sniper, is famous for his masterpiece "Staying Together", which scored a high score of 9.1 for all the members. This drama continues to create high scores, with a score of 8.6, ranking the highest among domestic comedies this year.
is the same as its predecessor. Its high reputation comes from capturing the tastes of young people and taking the route of nonsensical comedy. The three protagonists are a bitchy, an upright, and a poisonous tongue, all of whom are popular nowadays. The plot of
is about the daily life of three miserable and resentful migrant workers. Bi Xinye used the leather sheath of ancient costumes from a modern perspective to create a misplaced comedy effect by reflecting contemporary stories and lines.
"The Legend of Magpie Sword"
is also known as "A martial arts drama more suitable for Northeastern babies' physique".
"Legend of the Magpie Sword" is one of the dark horses of this year's domestic dramas, with a Douban score of 8.2. Zhao Benshan, along with Song Xiaobao, Song Xiaofeng and Wen Song, gave domestic entertainment a little shock as the king of comedy.
"Legend of the Magpie Sword" is similar to "Wulin Gaiden". In the same martial arts + sitcom + unit drama mode, Uncle Benshan plays two roles, one is the righteous hero and the coward cook.His acting skills are good and his jokes are interesting. Especially as a comedian, his sense of rhythm and ability to shake off baggage are still online. He also unceremoniously makes fun of himself and the old Guo family next door. As expected, your uncle is still your uncle.

The annual elder-respecting drama
"Grandma's New World"
"Grandma's New World" has made new ideas. It is adapted from the high-scoring comic "Grandma Elopes". The screenwriter is Li Qiang, who has written female themes such as "Peacock", "The Beginning of Spring" and "Aunt's Postmodern Life". The powerful combination creates a rare image of an elderly person. Grandma Sun Yuping.
The story is told in flashback. Sun Yuping, who has been away from home for many years, suddenly gets news. Her sister Sun Yulan and granddaughter Dou Qi decide to go on the road to search.
In the process of tracking, they met all kinds of passers-by, such as fugitives, disabled people, first lovers, etc. Dou Qi gradually discovered a different grandmother from these people.

Annual child-friendly drama
"Zeng Boy"
In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer group dramas about youth growth in alleys. This year, "Zeng Boy" was released with a good reputation. The story of
begins in 1997, taking the growth story of four teenagers in Beijing's Denghua Hutong as the main line, interspersed with the occurrence of various major events such as the Olympic bid, SARS, the stock market crash, the Wenchuan earthquake, the Olympic Games, and Double Eleven. Maybe for young viewers, these are just a node in history, but for those born in the 1980s, it is really a youthful memoir.
also has a good choice of actors. The two protagonists are Zhang Yishan and Guan Xiaotong, who are the most "stereotypical" in the entertainment industry. Before watching it, I thought they didn't match up well. I didn't expect that when I opened my mouth, it smelled like a Beijing movie. When I started bickering, I felt poor and poor. Naturally, "Liu Xing" is still stable when he returns to his comfort zone.

Annual migrant worker drama
"Ask the Heart"
"Ask the Heart" was not favored at first. After all, the painting style of the three faces of Zhao Youting, Jin Shijia and Mao Xiaotong really looks like a crazy love affair under the guise of a workplace drama, but in fact it basically has nothing to do with it. The old problems of workplace dramas are that the plot is fake and the characters are fake.
The two male protagonists, one is a middle-level veteran, who is listless all day long and has no eyesight. He has to deal with complex office politics on the first day and is tortured by the boss who is greedy for money and uses power to suppress others. On the other hand, he has to deal with all kinds of patients carefully. Handle the doctor-patient relationship.
The other is a genius recruit named Danzi, who thought he could show off his skills after entering the hospital. However, he was taught how to be a good person by interpersonal relationships and rules and regulations along the way.
