The first part of "Under the City"
Rating: 8.5
Starring: Bai Yufan/Ning Li/Xiang Hanzhi
Plot review: After the trial, although the early pace is slow, the cocoons are peeled off, one case after another, and in the end it will be certain It will converge into a line. This kind of progressive reasoning with a thousand miles of twists and turns, as long as you grasp the rhythm well, it will not collapse in 12 episodes. It is a four-star wait and see. BYF resources are really good. I can also receive a costume suspense detective anytime. I really love reading this type of book. The combination of ancient costumes and suspense is really full of buffs, and this kind of drama that depicts the positions of the most basic ancient officials, the process of handling cases, and the lives of ordinary people in such a detailed way is different from the exaggerated ancient puppets and is very suitable for those who prefer costume dramas. In short, it is my No. 2 best TV series of 2023, second only to "The Long Season".
The second part "Those Youthful Times That Can't Be Returned"
Rating: 8.2
Starring: Zhao Jinmai / Bai Yufan / Wu Jiakai
Plot review: On the surface it is a youth campus drama, but there is pain behind youth. And there is no doubt that the biggest feeling this drama gives people is "regret", countless regrets, and endless regrets. I could smell the smell of the north at the beginning of the film. It is indeed the northwest. I don’t know if anyone can understand that rusty smell. It feels like a culmination of the childhood shadows of children of state-owned enterprises, and the final reconciliation of the century is a bit vulgar. Luo Qiqi is like the Elaeagnus jujube tree on the loess land. She is very kind. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to cultivate it when I was a child. More realistic than August Chang'an, which writes about the Northeast, like the warm sun in winter, Zhenhua Trilogy is a beautified version of campus life and youth, and this version is more realistic.
The third part "The Apocalypse of Pretending"
Rating: 8.1
Starring: Cai Wenjing / Han Dongjun / Geng Le
Plot comments: It is a drama that I like very much, and it is very comfortable to watch. The metaphor of burning the barn is so true, just like Liu Meiling teaching Tang Ying that the rarity of things is inversely proportional to their availability. In reality, there is no such thing as good for no reason, nor can one reach the sky in one step. Every time the hero and heroine walk downstairs after get off work and look up at home, the lamp has been lit for them, giving them a warm and reassuring feeling. Especially when I think about the heroine moving, she introduced the neighborhood and apartment she lived in to the hero when she came to Beijing. It’s great to find a light that lights up for herself now. In short, this drama is very realistic and down-to-earth. Failures, setbacks and ups and downs are the life of ordinary people. It is these setbacks that give us growth and understanding.
The fourth part "Happy Face"
Rating: 7.9
Starring: Dong Zijian/Zhang Yi/Zhang Luyi
Plot review: In my opinion, "Happy Face" is undoubtedly an innovative TV series with a revolutionary theme. Director Xu Bing uses the form of a road drama It was acted out so that it added humor and absurdity. In fact, the story as a whole is still very simple. There have been many similar stories before, but because this drama is different from the past, its innovation in narrative and style makes it a unique work. In addition, the casting is also good, so I naturally fell in love with this work at the first sight. In short, it seems absurd and funny, but it is full of the irony of the times. The funnier it is, the sadder it becomes. This drama has clearly understood the use of black humor. I recommend everyone to check it out, it’s pretty good.
The fifth part "Under the Stranger"
Rating: 8.1
Starring: Peng Yuchang / Hou Minghao / Wang Yinglu
Plot review: As a loyal fan of animation, the live-action version is really good. The plot progresses quickly without any delay, and the special effects and action scenes are also remarkable. Compared with the live-action version of "Shounen Song Xing" which is also an anime adaptation that I haven't watched some time ago, I personally think that the action scenes of "Under the Stranger" are better. It is much more comfortable to watch. The action design is relatively complex and the actors perform it smoothly and coherently. However, the action scenes in "Song of Songs" are far less enjoyable to watch. The action design is too simple and there are a lot of slow motions. In addition, the ancient Chinese cultural elements in this drama, such as Qi Men Dun Jia, Yin Yang and Five Elements, Taoist theory, etc. are really attractive and have Chinese characteristics. I love watching it. Finally, I’m really looking forward to the second season.
