5, "I Have a Friend"
Rating: 8.5
Starring: Xie Xingyang/Su Mengdi/Wang Hanwen
Plot review: This script and this director are so excellent. A good TV series (movie) cannot be separated from a good script, director, and actors , this drama perfectly possesses these three elements. The script is unique, original, and it will make you think deeply while laughing and joking. It inadvertently echoes the previous plot. The director Jue, he presented the script perfectly, with good logic. The plot is smooth, the rhythm is clear, the actors are fine, and there are no problems. Although they don’t know each other, their acting skills are normal. They can beat the popularity of the popular traffic by themselves. They are ordinary things, but they are also very profound. They are obviously funny, but they are also thought-provoking. There are too few good original dramas about Shen Shen, really few, so I cherish this one very much.
4, "The Silk Case of the Ming Dynasty under the Microscope"
Rating: 7.8
Starring: Zhang Ruoyun / Wang Yang / Qi Wei
Plot review: This adaptation is great! First, I spent an episode to establish the characters with rich details. The details of entering the cabinet library are also more rational. The officialdom ecology of the Ming Dynasty is revealed through the use of "people's silk silk" and tax lapses, and the way of being an official is presented in a more in-depth way. The newly added characters such as Feng Baoyu and Feng Biyu have dramatic significance and vivid personalities. The acting skills of the actors are overall online, especially Wu Gang's, which is quite ancient. But the plot did feel a bit thin and overacted. But the scenery and props are really amazing. It's a real costume drama rather than some magical modification disguised as a costume drama. It's very elegant and has a good idea. Therefore, the score of 7.8 is on the low side.
3, "Lotus Tower"
Rating: 8.5
Starring: Cheng Yi/Zeng Shunxi/Xiao Shunyao
Plot review: I rarely watch this type of drama, but the popularity is so high and the ratings are so good. I watched it when the drama was in short supply. Not bad, even very good. Calm down and feel the vastness of a drop of water. In fact, the force system is a bit broken, Yangzhou Shou is omnipotent, the suspense is not the kind of rigorous reasoning, and some special effects are really fake at first glance. But, fortunately, the story is well organized, the plot has ups and downs, and the rhythm is tight, unlike some ancient puppet shows that are eye-catching and draggy. However, maybe the male protagonist is really too strong, which makes the villain seem weak. The male protagonist's lines are quite clear, but it always feels like he's talking with something in his mouth. However, the overall shortcomings are not hidden, and it is still one of the most conscientious dramas worth watching of the year.
2, "Under the City"
Rating: 8.5
Starring: Bai Yufan / Ning Li / Xiang Hanzhi
Plot review: The advantages and disadvantages of this drama are obvious, but I admit that there are still many plots that moved me. In the case of soaking snails in butter, the boy with a broken eyebrow finally turned against him; in the apricot flower poem and wine, a generation of genius finally ended his hatred. These are my two favorite episodes in the entire show. Frustration, love, hate, regret, justice. Many of the characters in the group portraits are three-dimensional and fleshy. I can still name them now. They do not portray a single good person or perform pure evil. Everyone is swinging on both sides of justice. We have to watch a smart and clever young man go astray step by step. This is the director's ability. However, some of the plots are too complicated and the protagonist's character is very shallow. These are also the various regrets of this drama, but the flaws cannot be concealed!
1, "Ancient Acacia"
Rating: 8.6
Starring: Zhang Yaqin / Guo Jianan / Zhu Linyu
Plot review: Although it has the shortcomings of a small-cost drama, it is overall good. I cried when I watched it. Time and time again, I was saved in exchange for powerlessness again and again. It was a fateful tragedy. We live in two timelines and are destined not to be together. The BGM also added points to this drama. I am listening to it now. I still shed tears in Kong Wait and Su Hui. The scenes in it are so beautiful and the language is so rich. Everything is perfect. Lu Yuan is also very good. Lu Yuan has acted well in all periods. Lu Yuan is so beautiful. And the leading actor's skills are the best in medical beauty. The male protagonist changed his impression of Lu Yuan and rectified Lu Yuan's name. Everything that happened was not meaningless. Ancient Acacia is the most valuable ancient drama I watched this year.
