The first part of "Ultimate Notes"
Rating: 8.2
Starring: Zeng Shunxi / Xiao Yuliang / Hanikezi
Plot review: I didn't plan to watch it at first, but when I saw it, everyone said it was a masterpiece, so I went to watch it. It's really good, far beyond expectations. The innocent Wu Xie is gradually growing up, the boring little brother has a human touch, the fat man is funny but not a hindrance, the comely Hua'er is arrogant and loyal, the black glasses love money but he is easy to deal with people and has a sense of control. The relaxed group scenes, the tight-paced plot, the core and fuller characters, coupled with the well-made real scenes, decent special effects, and delicious OST, at least I will never forget it. All in all, it's really well done, and it's the version that best suits my mind. Finally, I really hope that there will be a second season, with the original cast, Audio-Technica, and Black Flower, please continue your unfinished stories.
The second part of "The Soul of Chess"
Rating: 8.6
Starring: Hu Xianxu/Zhang Chao/Hao Fushen
Plot review: I personally think this drama is a very successful case of buying the copyright to adapt overseas classic works. I am very satisfied with it. I even felt it exceeded my expectations. So, it took me two days to read it all in one go without any fast forwarding. It’s so beautiful, everyone is nice, the group portraits are so well portrayed, the growth line of time, the bond with Chu Ying as both teacher and friend, and the young actors are also particularly good. All in all, although the filming is very poor, the actors are immature, the plot details lack polish, the first few episodes are handled crudely and shockingly, and the BG lines are difficult to knock off, it seems that there is nothing particularly difficult to accept, and the ending of Hong He should be a It's a bit ridiculous, but it doesn't matter. The overall shortcomings do not hide the good points, and I will shine a light on it.
The third part "The Beginning"
Rating: 7.9
Starring: Bai Jingting/Zhao Jinmai/Liu Yijun
Plot review: This is the first time I watched it in 2024. I have been reading online reviews before and thought how good it can be. I stayed up all night to finish it. I realized that the domestic drama finally has some brains and splashes. Although it is still adapted from a novel, and although the ending is a bit idealistic, it is great to be able to save this car person. I read the original novel without stopping, and the adaptation is much better than the original work. The tension and excitement cannot be fully expressed through words. There are many more details and a more complete structure than the original work. The acting skills of the leading actors and actresses are also very strong. They have great looks and acting skills. Like it, like it. It’s awesome. I can only say it’s awesome. Although there are still some logical flaws, and the rhythm is a bit delayed later on, the flaws are not outweighed.
The fourth part "Ancient Love Song"
Rating: 8.6
Starring: Zhang Yaqin/Guo Jianan/Zhu Linyu
Plot review: I don’t know what kind of person can come up with such an ingenious idea, it makes my liver hurt. And it’s a completely unknown actor, so I watched this show based on countless recommendations. It is really very beautiful, and the setting is very special. One goes down the river, the other goes upstream, traveling in the opposite direction, the fixed ending that cannot be changed, and the ultimate BE aesthetics brought about by a strong sense of fate. But it's not entirely a tragedy. The acting, camerawork, music, and the echoes are all very, very good. Although there are some bugs, it is really good. I like the character Lu Shi the most. He held the door hard when he died. He has both patriotic ambition and family love. It is really perfect.
The fifth part "The Three-Body Problem"
Rating: 8.7
Starring: Zhang Luyi/Yu Hewei/Chen Jin
Plot comments: It's really beautiful and exciting! Many people around me have read the original work, and no one said it was not good. This time I watched the TV series adaptation, which actually made me, a person who doesn’t like reading, want to try the original work and watch this TV series. I went through two stages. I watched the first 6 episodes last year, but I wasn't attracted to it, so I gave up on the show halfway through. But when I watched it again this year, especially when I watched Ye Wenjie’s past, I was very impressed. I have to say that the two actors playing Ye Wenjie in the play are really excellent and very contagious. All in all, it's so good to watch. I really didn't expect the Chinese to be able to produce such a high-end science fiction TV series. I look forward to the second and third parts of the original cast being made into films as soon as possible.
