Now that the summer season is coming to an end, if you ask about the biggest winner of this summer season, the audience may have different opinions.

But if you ask the biggest loser, it is undoubtedly the ancient puppet show. The summer season of

has just begun, and "Yan Xin Ji" and "年" have been going up and down, and ended quietly.

's highly anticipated " Sauvignon Blanc 2" failed to replicate the results of the first season, and its popularity was not as good as expected.

And "Four Seas Chung Ming", "Liu Zhou Ji" and "Long Music" also have little splash.

This summer puppet show is completely uneventful.

Is this summer season just over? Of course not, it’s time for Gudou to bottom out and rebound.

Goose Factory produced an " streamer leads to " . It was only launched for four episodes and directly scored 8.0. This momentum should not be underestimated.

I watched four episodes in one go. The pace of this drama is not sluggish, the main plot line is clear, and the characters have distinct personalities. It is the drama that saves the glory of ancient puppet dramas.

01 Time travel, conspiracy and secret warfare, the plot is fast-paced

"Liuguang Yin" tells the story of Han Ziqing ( Zhu Xudan) due to an unexpected identity change. In order to find out her life experience, she took advantage of the fourth prince Jun Beiyue ( Zhang Han) ), and Jun Beiyue also had an ulterior motive.

Since then, Han Ziqing and Jun Beiyue, who were involved in disputes between powerful countries and alien races, eradicated evil spirits together and safeguarded the peace of Longyuan Continent.

In the feature film of this drama, there are two major highlights that directly caught my attention.

Highlight 1: A weak concubine becomes a "special soldier".

The opening of this play reveals an unusual feeling. It is said to be a fantasy ancient puppet show, but the setting is modern.

In the play, Han Ziqing picked up a dagger while performing a mission. The moment she pulled it out, a light flashed and she came to Longyuan Continent and became the concubine of the Han family.

Although the setting of "time travel" is quite old, it is still loved by many viewers when it is filmed now.

In the play, Han Ziqing, who was originally framed by her sister, first took away Mrs. Han's clothes on the street, and then slapped her sister twice in front of the prime minister's house. She wanted to avenge her on the spot.

This drama opens with a cool drama about a weak and timid concubine coming back for revenge. It is quite enjoyable to watch, and the background is clearly explained and the main plot is introduced, allowing the audience to get involved in the plot faster.

Highlight 2: The undercurrent of political intrigue.

The blend of fantasy and intrigue is just right in this show.

When the fourth prince Jun Beiyue chose his concubine, he chose the controversial Han Ziqing against all opinions.

In other dramas, this is love at first sight, but in this drama, it is Jun Beiyue who has ulterior motives.

He was poisoned and accidentally led to Han Ziqing, but she was safe and sound.

King Tianque is afraid, the queen and the second prince are eyeing each other, Jun Beiyue is in danger, and Han Ziqing is forced to get involved in this conspiracy chaos, which seems to be the key to changing the situation.

So Machiavellian tactics play an icing on the cake in this drama.

In addition, the relationship between Jun Beiyue and Han Ziqing in the play is also a highlight. They went from using each other to trusting each other, and they experienced many ups and downs in the process.

It can be said that this drama combines the classic elements of ancient puppet dramas such as time travel, conspiracy and secret warfare, love and murder, and the plot logic is very orderly.

02 Zhang Han plays a costume drama again, and the actor's strength is online

Judging from the plots of these episodes, although there are not many popular and popular actors in the cast, their performances in the drama are all very brilliant.

ranks first, Zhang Han.

After "The Gentlemen of East Eighth District" stepped on the audience's attention and was removed from the shelves, Zhang Han's reputation also plummeted. So it was a bit worrying to see him appearing in a costume drama again after so many years.

As soon as Jun Beiyue, played by Zhang Han, appeared in the new drama, the previous worries disappeared. Zhang Han, who has successfully "removed oil", is dressed in black and gold clothes in the play, and looks quite imposing with his tall figure.

In the play, he wanted to verify whether Han Xi'er was someone he had fought with before. He leaned slightly and stared at the other person's expression, which was so oppressive that people couldn't help but hold their breath.

Zhang Han played Jun Beiyue with the momentum and status that he should have. I hope he can restore his reputation with this role.

is second, Zhu Xudan.

Zhu Xudan’s costume appearance has always been good, especially the role of Mu Yao she played in " Yongye Xinghe", her appearance in Reuters is very out of the ordinary.

In the new drama, Zhu Xudan not only looks stunning in appearance, but also has outstanding acting skills.

In the play, Han Ziqing's feet feel wind when she walks, and she looks carefree whether she is standing or sitting, which is in line with her time-travel setting.

In addition to her posture, her demeanor also showed her disdain. In the play, when she heard that her sister Han Xi'er was adding insult to injury, Han Ziqing smiled nonchalantly and rolled her eyes.

Han Ziqing, a beautiful and sassy character, is perfect for her.

ranks third, Ren Shihao .

The villain Li Yingliang played by Ren Shihao in " Ice and Snow Ballad " left a deep impression on the audience.

In the new drama, the delicate Li Yingliang transforms into the disgraced "bounty hunter" Baili Weisheng.

In the play, he made people "dark" as soon as he appeared. With his messy long hair and dark face, he looked more like a beggar on the street than a bounty hunter.

In the play, he is a person hired by the Nanzhao royal family to investigate Han Ziqing. He is sober-minded and sharp-eyed. Although he seems a little unreliable, he is also very serious when it comes to business matters.

Ren Shihao made a big breakthrough in this drama, and his performance deserves attention.

ranked fourth, Guo Xing.

Although everyone is not familiar with this actress, she has also performed very well in the plots of the previous episodes. In

's new drama, she played Han Xi'er, taking a standard "evil female supporting role" script. When

was arrogant in front of Han Ziqing, her contemptuous eyes and smug look were completely like a villain's success. After being ridiculed, she immediately broke her guard.

Guo Xing grasped the "green tea" attribute of Han Xi'er quite well.

In addition, there are actors such as Yao Chi, Hailing and others in the play. The casting fits the role and the actors' acting skills are online. The effect of this drama is very surprising.

03 Conclusion

The ancient puppet dramas in recent years are more about plotting, revenge, house fighting, business, and fairy tales, and there are very few fantasy themes.

And the audience also wants to see a fantasy ancient puppet with a fresh and interesting setting, so this "Liuguang Yin" comes at the right time.

Although this drama is a bit cheap in terms of setting, costumes, and special effects, this drama can still retain the audience with its excellent plot.

This drama is fast-paced, and the identities, camps, and purposes of the characters can be clearly presented in the shortest possible length, without appearing messy at all.

also laid a lot of foreshadowing during the progression of the plot, setting up suspense for the plot.

Therefore, the overall shortcomings of this drama are not concealed. As long as the subsequent plot maintains this rhythm, the popularity of this drama will become even higher.
