[Editor's note]
is here to help you watch the "first episode" series of dramas. Is the recently aired drama worth it? Beautiful ones, weird ones, let’s have a plate together.
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.
"Boundless Future"
Broadcast platform: CCTV 8, Youku, iQiyi
First broadcast time: August 18
How this drama depends on the angle from which it is viewed.

In the first two episodes, Lin Qiang, played by Bai Yu, was transferred from the head office to a remote branch as a deputy president because of a loan. He reported after get off work and was arranged to live in a warehouse by the president's secretary. This kind of The way he appears is too catchy in the real workplace.
For the character of Lin Qiang, a group of teller fans were set up to support him. Regardless of their own future, they went together to protest in front of the president and spoke for Lin Qiang. Their overall behavior was extremely childish.
In order to set up Lin Qiang's character, he set up a plot that allowed him to sell 700,000 yuan in financial management in five minutes. In the current context, it looks more like "fraud".
For the sake of Lin Qiang's character, he asked him to complete the 500 million deposit quota within a week, and found a large order for fishery upgrades. At the same time, he invited many relatives and friends to a remote branch to deposit more than 100 million. The male protagonist of
has full aura as the protagonist. All leaders prefer him, all opportunities are given to him, and all the people believe in him unconditionally. This drama only learned the gripping feeling of "Naoki Hansawa", but failed to learn the essence of its reasonable and exciting plot. The audience will not feel that they are the male protagonist, but will only assume that they are ordinary customers who have been deceived by the bank, and will feel resistant to the protagonist group.
But if you change the angle and watch it as a comic book or a palace fighting drama, you will find it interesting. Ignoring the bugs of realism, Lin Qiang is a young man full of justice and passion. He has a good teammate Zheng Shuai, and a group of like-minded people who are willing to fight against the world together. Surrounding Lin Qiang are a group of "martial arts masters" each with extraordinary abilities. The masters use Lin Qiang and his small organization to fight to see who is more capable. Lin Qiang struggled to survive in this process, and at the same time wanted to overturn the world controlled by the masters. The focus is not on banking business, not on financial planning, or on how capable Lin Qiang is, but on the interesting relationships among the characters in this world. There are villains who rise to power by flattering, female bosses who harass their subordinates, leaders who hide their knives in their smiles, and some who are cruel and cruel. The mortal enemy of affection.
It doesn’t hurt to let go of your expectations for logic and realistic themes and watch a fun drama.

But the problem is that the overall plot is dragging. Although the plot is also advancing, there is too much nonsense and the plot is lengthy. There is only one case at the end of 6 episodes. As a unit drama, it is not short and fast enough; as a long-line costume drama, the character relationships and settings are not interesting enough. Although the lines have some modern feel, they are not sharp and interesting enough. They rely more on forcibly creating conflicts and forcibly creating laughter through characters.
Although it can't be called a gourmet drama, if you don't like the exciting " Bian Shui Past " recently and like some light-hearted comedy dramas as a pastime, it may be an option.

The disputes between celebrities such as Li Gengxi and Zhang Youhao are on the hot search. Many netizens think it looks too emotional and pretentious, but the author recommends everyone to watch the variety show itself, although A game is just a game, and failure doesn’t mean anything, but whether you respect the rules, what your human nature is like, betrayal and trust, escape and betrayal, you can indeed get a glimpse of the situation. When you see injustice happening, who chooses to remain silent or resist? Choose to believe or follow the crowd?
