[Editor's note]

is here to help you watch the "first episode" series of dramas. Is the recently aired drama worth it? Beautiful 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.

" Cheng Huan Ji "

Broadcast platform: Tencent Video, CCTV Eight

First broadcast time: April 9

Yi Shu's original novel has a good foundation. It vividly and interestingly conceives the process of urban girl Mai Chenghuan's search for herself. , she experienced love failure, parental control, and finally, coincidentally, she was able to start a life of her own because of an inheritance.

's novel is short, so the screenwriter must expand it. Judging from the currently aired episodes, the characters and plot have been expanded well. The background of the story has been moved from Hong Kong to Shanghai, and the temperaments between the "two cities" are almost seamless.

The details of the characters are vividly added, especially the mother of Cheng Huan played by He Saifei . The author asked the Shanghainese around me and found that many people have such a Shanghai mother. She is very talkative, but she devotes herself to her children. , she does have some shortcomings of saving face, but at critical moments, she can bow her head for her children and do everything possible to work hard for what she considers to be a "good marriage." It makes people laugh or cry. He Saifei's energy is really amazing.

The heroine's boyfriend Xin Jialiang is a typical cowardly rich second generation. He wants to protect his girlfriend from having love, but he has no status in the family. The series does not create a stereotype of a hateful waste, but depicts the complexity of human nature, including the complexity of family relationships.

The characters of the male and female protagonists have not yet been fully developed. In the novel, Mai Chenghuan is a good girl in the early stage, trapped in the dilemma of a scholar restraining himself and satisfying others. In the drama, the heroine's self-perception image is also strengthened by emphasizing the lines of "Chenghuan kneels".

However, some of the plots still seemed a bit perfunctory and not polished enough. For example, the scene where the parents of Mak Chenghuan and Xin Jialiang had a meal conflict, some fell into the traditional bloody plot. But the overall drama is worth watching. In any case, it is not simply about the love story of an urban woman, but an attempt to peel off the shell of human nature and explore Chinese family relationships and the situation of women in marriage and love.

"City Within a City"

Broadcast platform: CCTV One, iQiyi

Premiere time: April 9

An ambitious work with many clues and a wide story map. Yu Hewei , Wang Jinsong , Wang Xiao , Tu Yansong and other powerful middle-aged male actors are very exciting in their performances. Bai Yufan is very "working man", but his love scenes are a bit redundant.

’s current cvb ratings have exceeded 3, and it also ranks first on iQiyi’s popular list.

"We Are Not Kind Enough"

First broadcast time: April 6

The Taiwanese drama is really interesting. This subject matter and angle are something I have never thought of before. Taiwanese dramas that have experienced a downturn have gradually found the rhythm of the post-idol drama era. They also talk about the emotional affairs of men and women, but they are more delicate and subtle, and they capture human nature better. That's the darkness and unknown that's hard to admit.

Ariel Lin , Tiffany Hsu, and He Junxiang were all born in the peak period of Taiwanese idol dramas. When they reached middle age, they once again used their own experience and age to show everyone interesting male and female emotions.
