is here to help you watch the "first episode" series of dramas. Is the recently aired drama worth it? Good-looking and weird, let’s play together on the weekends.

Maybe some dramas will get better gradually, and some dramas may start high but then slow down, so this article only represents the author’s opinion on the first few episodes and is for reference only. If there is any subsequent slap in the face, we will inform you at any time.

"Storm Chaser"

Broadcast platform: CCTV 8, iQiyi

Premiere date: March 21

This type of drama series with top actors has always received mixed reviews online, with one star and five stars. Exist in large numbers.

Let's talk about the series itself first. The production exceeds the current average level of spy war dramas in the Republic of China. It can be seen that all departments are working hard to produce high-quality dramas. The first two episodes explain the story background of the main characters through a series of events such as assassinations, rescues, and stock market games. In the third and fourth episodes, the male protagonist Wei Ruolai officially enters the "battlefield."

After Wei Ruolai entered the Central Bank, the pace accelerated and the content became more attractive. On the one hand, many other characters have been added, such as Shen Tunan, played by Wang Yang, who leads the central bank's stock war to acquire private banks, which captures the excitement of financial wars in special times. On the other hand, Wei Ruolai has gradually integrated into the financial espionage department more smoothly.

The heroine Shen Jinzhen played by Li Qin is somewhat similar to the setting of Zhu Yizhen in "Rebel". She is a wealthy daughter who joins the revolution, but Shen Jinzhen is more like the female agent who will appear in "Mission: Impossible", with great skills. However, there is some controversy about the plot of Shen Jinzhen's "betraying" his family without hesitation. She seemed to be a spy lurking in under the guise of the Shen family's daughter. It's okay to sacrifice yourself for your beliefs, but betraying your relatives and friends who are good to you for your beliefs will make such a character appear flat.

" And the Phoenix "

Broadcast platform: Tencent Video/Mango tv

Premiere date: March 18

Fantasy ancient puppets are already a type of drama that has reached its bottleneck. Although "The Journey with the Phoenix" is not low in popularity, But from the plot and other aspects, there is nothing surprising.

With Zhao Liying 's current status in the world, there seems to be no need to accept this type of drama. There is no charm like her in "The Wind Blowing Pinellia", nor her professional acting skills in " Article 20 ". Regarding Lin Gengxin, I can only say that the industry’s requirements for male actors are too low. Why is no one asking him to do a good job in image management for this drama?

"Guess Who I Am"

Broadcast platform: Youku

Premiere date: March 22

Wang Ziqi is really a magical actor. Originally this was a brainless sweet drama. You don’t need to think about logic when watching it. You just need to see whether the pink bubbles that pop up are what you want. However, Wang Ziqi insisted on making me feel that the part that captured him was real. He is filming a serious suspense drama. His quest for power and revenge is not just for fun in an idol drama, but he is really working hard. The setting of the

drama is not too novel. The heroine has a special function after "traveling through the book" and can become the person she wants to see most when looking at each other. Originally, she and her friends used this function to solve other people's problems and make money, but it failed for the male protagonist. She also misunderstood that the male protagonist was the villain in the current case. The misunderstandings and intersections between them made the two develop feelings for each other. .

But fortunately Wang Ziqi is very good at acting and has a strong sense of abstinence, rather than pretending to be abstinent in the performance. Zhang Yuxi is also beautiful and smart enough, not an actor pretending to be stupid. The plot is light-hearted and funny, mindless but interesting, just like the short skit above, and the various horse-catching incidents are purely for emotional value.

As an idol drama, its main function is to provide emotional value, so this drama does a good job and can be used to eat and laugh.

"Writing"

Broadcasting platform: Tencent

First broadcast date: March 20

The horizontal screen short drama that lasts for more than ten minutes has gradually become more and more sophisticated. It has developed to this day and is just around the corner to replace the long drama.This does not mean that the level of short dramas has improved qualitatively, but that the long dramas themselves are standing still, while the short dramas are growing rapidly and brutally, and the gap between the two is constantly narrowing. This show is a great example.

Male and female actors Li Muchen and Ye Shengjia have worked in many long dramas

Both in terms of service and script logic, they are no worse than today's long dramas. Useless shots, lines, and In the cutscenes, only the parts that promote the plot are left. It is very easy to watch and there is no need to fast forward. The acting skills of the actors are good. Although it feels like facial makeup and horse-grabbing, the basic tasks are completed and they can convey the character's emotions and show the character's heart. Some of the scenes are very thoughtful, such as the scene where the heroine burns a book, which is a bit interesting.

If I have to choose ancient puppet dramas to watch, compared to long and boring dramas, I would rather watch short dramas with efficient plots and basically up-to-date scenes.

Netflix version " three-body "

Broadcast platform: Netflix

First broadcast date: March 21

Comparison is inevitable, and the Tencent version has its own merits.

Netflix version has a major change in character design, accelerated plot folding, and is closer to a commercial drama. The industrial level is very online. If you haven't read the original work, you can enjoy it as an ordinary science fiction series.

Stills from the Netflix version of "The Three-Body Problem"

The adaptation of the Tencent version is relatively faithful to the original work. It retains the subtlety, restraint, and slowness of Eastern culture to a certain extent, and also retains more of the "essence of thought" of Liu himself.

personally recommends that everyone try this version of "The Three-Body Problem". Whether you are an industry creator or an ordinary audience, you can get your own complex feelings.
