There have been many excellent works in the TV drama market this year, such as "Hurry Up", "Three-Body", "The Long Season", etc. After watching them, they are all enjoyable to watch.
Regardless of the subject matter or the acting skills of the actors, these TV series are all very exciting.
One "Keeping Up" sparked a nationwide craze for watching dramas, one "Three-Body Problem" materialized science fiction novels, and one "The Long Season" told the story of human nature in the guise of suspense and murder.
But these high-quality dramas are actually very few in the entire TV drama market this year.
today went in the opposite direction and took stock of the bad dramas at the end of the year.
"There is no harm without comparison." If you have never watched any of the following dramas, you are really lucky.
1 "Shen Yin"
This drama was broadcast on December 11, but there is no comprehensive score yet.
However, judging from the comments and ratings of many netizens, this drama is simply eye-catching, and I can no longer watch fairy tales and ancient puppet dramas directly.
There are many negative reviews of one and two stars. Most of them are commenting on the shortcomings of the TV series' starring role and plot. After reading the reviews, I deeply agree.
Let’s first talk about the male and female protagonists of this drama. The male protagonist Kuching is played by Wang Anyu. Reminiscent of Wang Anyu’s handsome image in "Flowers and Boys" recently, I thought that the image in this drama should not be too bad.
But as soon as he appeared, his appearance seemed to drop several notches.
Netizens jokingly call him "rat boyfriend". The last person to be called this was Liu Yuning.
Maybe some male actors are really not suitable for acting in costume dramas. In fact, there is no problem in acting, but just don't say they are extremely handsome. The audience is not blind.
The heroine Ayin is played by Zhao Lusi, and many netizens continue to complain.
In the movie "Secretly Can't Hide" released in June this year, we have already seen Zhao Lusi playing the role of a little girl, talking cutely and with a clipped accent.
I didn’t expect that in the drama “Shen Yin”, her voice would become more and more serious.
It is said that she deliberately designed this for the character, in order to highlight the dexterity and cuteness of the heroine when she was a child.
But this voice sounds milky and milky, as if burping will happen in the next second. It sounds too dramatic.
Moreover, Zhao Lusi’s acting skills always feel lacking. Her facial features fly in front of the camera or her eyes wide open to pretend to be cute, which makes people feel embarrassed.
In terms of character settings, the setting of weak male and female protagonists is more exciting. The audience will expect them to grow into strong people along the way and protect the world as they grow up.
But in fact, what the audience saw was a male protagonist who relied on the blood of the gods to rise to power.
He is like a waste because his divine power has been sealed, but everyone who knows him knows his true identity and protects him along the way and clears all obstacles for him.
Relying on identity and blood to reach the throne of God step by step, what is there to see in such a plot.
The key point is that the male protagonist always does stupid things, either admitting the wrong benefactor, or coming up to break up the female protagonist's spirit. The plot is not only tacky but outrageous.
No wonder netizens are saying that this drama should be "hidden". Calling it a children's drama is an insult to children's IQ.
Speaking of special effects, it’s even more disappointing. If there are no special effects of high quality, there will be no sense of atmosphere at all.
Some fancy spells and moves are not as comfortable to watch as some games.
There are also some monsters that look like robot dogs, but they turn out to be the ancient ferocious beast "Qiongqi". Isn't this a hack of "Qiongqi"?
can only say that if the fairy tale drama continues like this, it may be difficult for it to become a hit again.
2 "I miss you very much"
This modern idol drama starring Tan Kenci and Zhou Ye was actually very anticipated when it was first launched.
This is probably because many people like Tan Kenci and his character Xiang Liu, and they all want to continue playing in this drama to make up for their feelings for Xiang Liu.
But after watching it, many netizens commented: "I don't want to watch it, I still like Xiang Liu."
In fact, if you are purely concerned about appearance, watching the story of two good-looking celebrities falling in love, then there is no big problem .
But watching TV series is just to watch idols, so how is it different from watching reality shows and variety shows?
If we take a step back, this kind of modern love drama does not require actors' acting skills, but it must have reasonable character settings and plot support.
But the character setting and plot of this drama have more to complain about.
As for the character setting, the main job of the male protagonist is a cardiologist, part-time job as a voice actor, and a large studio. On the surface, this character design is too perfect.
This is almost impossible in reality. Doctors are very busy every day. It is common to have day and night shifts, meetings and studies, etc.
Don’t the writers of this show know this?
The screenwriter can't make it up randomly. As long as the male protagonist is given a job that is easier than being a doctor, it won't be so illogical.
Look at the heroine, she is obviously a senior, but she behaves like a primary school student.
was not thinking about the future after graduation, but about falling in love.
A senior student in college fell in love with this voice actor just because he heard a dubbing in a game promotion.
Let’s just say that in reality, is this something that normal people can do? So brainless.
This romance drama is about the process of the male and female protagonists getting to know each other and falling in love. The male and female protagonists of this drama have not met each other yet, they only communicate through social media. At this time, there are a lot of people around the male and female protagonists who say that they are a couple. friend.
Is this how two people who don’t know each other advance the process of getting to know each other and falling in love? This is too far-fetched.
Later, because of an activity to promote an app, the female protagonist came to the male protagonist’s studio to discuss cooperation.
But the people around the male protagonist are all discussing whether the male and female protagonists are together, and they keep saying some specious things, which makes the female protagonist extremely embarrassed.
is like "I am the one you are eating hot pot next to you and me" . In fact, it is the male protagonist's friend who suddenly enters the room while the male and female protagonists are singing in the online voice room, and interrupts from the side. When
talked about the fact that the male and female protagonists had met online, the male protagonist’s friend asked if it was a photo or a video. Is it high-definition and uncensored?
Look, does anyone talk like this?
This is the first time the male and female protagonists have met offline. Is it really appropriate to joke around? The lines are lighthearted and humorous, but not pornographic.
However, many netizens said that this drama does not have too many old routines. The male and female protagonists are in a normal relationship, but the audience is not normal. No matter how the show is acted, there will be complaints.
Everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables, some people like them and some people hate them. But if the logic was more normal, the plot was more reliable, and the lines were more serious, maybe it would be better.
3 "Derailment"
This is an urban idol drama with time-travel elements and suspense routines. When the drama was announced, it felt very interesting.
The male protagonist is played by Lin Yi. Many people came here because of the popularity and good looks of the male protagonist.
In addition to having several popular works in the past, his height and appearance are consistent with the male protagonist, so he should be able to star in the role.
As a result, Lin Yi showed the feeling of wanting to play a domineering president, but his face was expressionless and his eyes were dull.
Many netizens directly refer to Wei Daxun’s Meng Yanchen.
The heroine Liu Haocun's performance is not outstanding, but Lin Yi can't take her role. This comparison shows the difference.
Many people originally had a bad impression of Liu Haocun, and not many people were optimistic about her role as the heroine of this drama.
If the actors themselves dissuade the audience, it may not be fair to the play itself. At least you have to look at the plot before making a decision.
Once this drama started airing, the popularity was very low. Many netizens said they were dissuaded from the show as soon as it started.
The heroine Jiang Xiaoyuan was driving fast on the bridge, and the next second she had a car accident and fell into the river.
No need to think about it, this beginning is an obvious time-travel plot, which is also a common time-travel routine in many modern dramas.
Next, I will explain the identity of the heroine. After clarifying it, I found that this is a story between a rich girl and her "good friends". Does this sound familiar?
The overall story is not expressed smoothly. It always wants to move in a mysterious direction, but it is too far-fetched. Before the accident of
, the heroine had a conversation with Assistant Xu. Assistant Xu asked her if she liked life in this world and herself?
These questions seem to add to the suspense, but how can the suspense displayed by language alone achieve the suspense effect.
But then again, in this drama, Liu Haocun’s dialogue skills are still good, much better than the voice next door.
Moreover, many of the plots are more in line with the feeling of a refreshing drama, so I didn’t feel angry after watching it.
Just like Jiang Xiaoyuan was pushed by her classmates, she could push her back immediately. For example, if a classmate slanders her, she can reply in an orderly manner by counting one, two, or three points.
If the overall story was told more completely and logically, and some of the plots were more novel, the response to this drama might be better.
4 "Thrush"
"Thrush" is the finale of the spy drama in 2023.
was broadcast on CCTV and was also launched on two video websites at the same time. It is unlikely that ordinary TV series will have such momentum.
thought it was a drama worth watching. Unexpectedly, from the title to the plot to Fu Hua Dao, there was nothing that would not make people complain.
Netizens commented that it would be better not to air it, adding another bad spy drama.
The title of the play "Thrush" left the audience speechless. They didn't know what the play had to do with the title. It was not until the end that the male protagonist revealed the meaning of the play's title using two lines from Du Mu's poem "Inscribed on Mulan Temple".
"Bending the bow to fight as a man, I once met the thrush in my dream." The word thrush refers to those women who are not inferior to men, and is also intended to praise the heroine's dedication to the revolution.
I don’t know when the name of the TV series became so enigmatic. Even those who don’t understand some ancient poems are embarrassed to say that they understand the meaning of the title.
The most criticized aspect of this drama by netizens is the plot, which is all about forcibly reducing the audience’s intelligence. When the male protagonist Ji Danyang of
faced someone who didn't know where he came from, maybe he was a spy, he actually said a secret code. Isn't this a clear way to tell people that I am the person you are looking for? A male protagonist like
is actually a math expert and a person who participates in major national projects. Where is his brain? What about sanity? Nothing at all.
Under the premise that the male protagonist’s identity as an expert needs to be protected, the male protagonist not only uneasily studies at work, but also keeps running out, either going into the water to save people, or going to the homes of fellow villagers to eat and drink.
Everyone calls him "expert" when they see him. Doesn't this reveal the hero's identity all the time?
The plot is embarrassing, and the costumes and makeup of the characters are extremely uncomfortable to watch.
The background of the story is the 1950s, but the actresses wear tight clothes and exquisite makeup, making it look like modern people have traveled through time.
Generally speaking, except for some veteran actors who have contributed commendable acting skills, this drama is not worth mentioning, so don’t watch it.
5 "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea"
The sixth TV series in the Ghost Blowing Lamp series received many negative reviews as soon as it was aired.
2016's Jingjue Ancient City, 2019's Nuqing Xiangxi and 2020's Longling Mysterious Cave are all good dramas in the Ghost Blowing Lantern series, with ratings of more than 7 points, and some even reached 8.1 points.
But the current score of "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" is 6.2, which is barely qualified. There is really no harm if there is no comparison.
Why does this drama have so many bad reviews? Many netizens think that the drama has a lot of water-filled plots and is meaningless foreshadowing.
For example, at the beginning, it was clear that Big Gold Tooth came to the Coral Temple Island with Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang. However, he did not get on the ship for some reason, and the play did not explain where he went.
Then the three protagonists took over the task of finding King Qin’s bone mirror, but the origin of this mirror was not explained.
Later, they wanted to enter the Trident cabin to explore, but they were delayed by many trivial matters. They tried three times but failed to enter the cabin.
Such unclear foreshadowing does not have much effect on the advancement of the plot, and will only slow down the rhythm of the plot.
What also made netizens complain was the issue of the actors' personalities. The three leading actors all had varying degrees of personality collapse. Hu Bayi in the original work of
is calm and wise. Although he is curious about the secrets of the bottom cabin, he respects Ruan Hei's beliefs.
Hu Bayi, who was in the camp, was a person who used his status as captain to put pressure on others, and he constantly clashed with Ruan Hei. Even the fat man was acting as an accomplice, and the two of them seemed to be the villains in the play.
Fatty Wang’s character collapses not just in this one place. In the original work, he has no other shortcomings except being afraid of heights. But in this drama, Fatty Wang becomes a lustful troublemaker.
For example, he, Hu Bayi, and Guchai went into the water and met a sleeping shark. He insisted on touching the shark's tail twice, which almost caused a disaster.
and Shirley Yang’s character design also have problems. This drama added a lot of emotional scenes between her and Hu Bayi. Shirley Yang suddenly changed from the calm and decisive Counselor Yang to a little woman with only a love brain.
With such a plot and characters, netizens said: "Let's read the novel!"
Indeed, there are too many points to complain about, and there are also the five-cent special effects that have not changed for thousands of years. The underwater world looks like an ocean. Like popular science comics, it’s too perfunctory.
looks at it this way, 6.2 points are even high. Doesn’t it mean that it’s not good to take photos based on books?
6 "Love in the Red Dust"
It seems that bad movies have to compete for sales at the end of the year. As soon as this drama aired, netizens instantly felt that the previous "Human Fireworks" was not so vicious.
If this drama had been aired earlier, the male and female protagonists of "Human Fireworks" might not have been scolded so badly.
Let’s talk about the male protagonist first, he is the cheating scumbag who was beaten to death by Zhang Tianai’s recording. When netizens saw that this man was playing the male lead, they all exclaimed: Can this man still come out? It's incredible.
The drama team may also be afraid that netizens will react too violently, and even the hot search was removed after only a few minutes. Presumably the producers must have put a lot of effort into getting this drama online.
The heroine is Guli Nazha, an actress who many people think has poor acting skills. Netizens commented: "I have acted in so many dramas, why do I still have no acting skills?"
In fact, even if the male and female protagonists are not these two, even if they choose actors with good personalities and acting skills, they cannot change the uncomfortable plot of this drama. .
The heroine is a doctor in a private hospital. She ranks last in monthly performance, but she can be promoted to attending physician. What kind of trick is this?
After being promoted to attending doctor, you can work normally. No, the heroine will arrogantly choose to resign on the day of promotion. The reason for resigning is to study medicine, and then turn around and open a sex toy store with her best friend.
This is a plot written by some crazy scriptwriter.
The male protagonist is a professional rescue expert. He returned from abroad and joined an unofficial public welfare rescue team as the captain.
Wouldn't it be better to directly write the male protagonist as a more professional rescue team captain? Why pull out an unofficial organization?
Later, the male and female protagonists met, and scenes of unspeakable plots began to unfold.
The male protagonist teaches self-defense to the female protagonist. The ambiguous tone and intimate movements do not seem to be teaching self-defense, but teaching something to make the bad guys more and more excited.
I really can’t stand it.Who is the audience for this kind of drama? Will you really accept this kind of mindless plot?
still don’t watch it. I listened to the advice from netizens’ comments and stopped polluting my eyes.
Each of these dramas is worse than the last. If you want to choose the worst one, then vote for "Love in the World".
is written at the end:
Using "There is no worst, only worse" is not an exaggeration to describe the quality of these domestic dramas.
When watching those high-quality dramas, I feel enjoyment and emotional resonance, but when watching these bad dramas, I seem to be only embarrassed and speechless.
Audiences are also intelligent and thoughtful. I hope that the production of TV series can be more careful, from the early scripts to the post-shooting, and treat the audience with sincerity.
Only in this way can it be possible to present more positive dramas and more high-quality works that people like. Only in this way can domestic dramas occupy a place in the fierce market competition and achieve good results.
