The summer season that just passed was also very lively.

The costume detective drama "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" is extremely popular and well-known, and the adventure drama " Bian Shui Past " also received a high score of 8.2 on Douban.

However, there is one genre that has died out in this summer season, and that is urban drama.

" You Are More Beautiful than Starlight " was frequently complained about, and " Little Couple " and "Private Romance" also received mediocre responses.

There is not even an urban drama worth watching in the summer season. Can we see another decent urban drama this year? Of course

can!

" and their wonderful time " was launched in a low-key manner, with only six episodes updated, and the popularity directly exceeded 10,000. This momentum is extraordinary.

has been updated in one breath. The plot of this drama is light-hearted, the subject matter is novel, and the pace is fast. This time the ceiling of urban dramas has really come.

01 Plot: Fantasy love, novel setting

"Their Wonderful Time" tells the story of game designer Song Lingling ( Zhou Jieqiong ) who was accidentally possessed by a game character she designed. She was forced to have an affair with Party A Xiao Ran (played by Ge Qiugu) Began living together.

In the ridiculous daily life, they fixed the game loopholes and solved the problem of Song Lingling being possessed.

So this drama tells a story about love and dreams. There are two major highlights in the drama that are worthy of attention.

Highlight 1: Dual personality? The npc is possessed!

Incorporating fantasy elements is considered a new approach in urban dramas, and the fantasy settings in this drama mainly focus on character settings.

In the drama, Song Lingling was electrocuted after accidentally knocking over a water glass during the internal testing of the game. And when she opened her eyes again, the owner of this body changed from Song Lingling to the NPC Xing Tian in the game settings.

At first, they were unaware of each other's existence. Because of the plot of the game, Xing Tian wanted to find Xiao Ran and make him kill to pay for it. And Song Lingling had to take the blame for Xing Tian's impulse.

In one body, there is a violent and impulsive general and an optimistic and clever game designer. Two personalities that are completely opposite in terms of gender and personality switch back and forth.

This novel setting connects the virtual world in the game with the real world, and the contrast between the characters themselves also looks quite hilarious.

Point 2: We love enemies, but we don’t get to know each other without fighting.

Although the routine of rejoicing in enemies is a cliché, it is not considered cliché because the audience likes it.

In the play, the relationship between the game designer Song Lingling and her client Xiao Ran is simply "new and old hatreds", layered on top of each other.

Song Lingling was possessed by Xing Tian. She first beat people in public in the hospital, then sought revenge in the underground parking lot, and was immediately taken away by the police.

But Xiao Ran also unexpectedly found a way to control Song Lingling to become Xing Tian. In order to spend more time fixing the loopholes, the two people who disliked each other had to start living together.

This kind of "jumping and hopping" work and life routine, the two people go from being dissatisfied with each other to sympathetic to each other. This process is also a highlight of this drama.

The emotional line is the main plot of this urban love drama, and its relaxed and humorous style sets the tone of the entire drama.

The characters in this drama have distinct personalities and the main plot line is clear. This is how urban romance dramas should be filmed.

02Actors: veteran actors and actresses, strong

Excellent plot design cannot completely determine the success of a drama, actors are also particularly important, so it can be seen that the casting of this drama is very careful.

ranked first, Yuan Qiongdan.

Speaking of the name Yuan Qiongdan, the first thing viewers think of is the "Pomegranate Sister" in the movie " Tang Bo Hu Dian Qiuxiang ". In many movies starring Stephen Chow, she also left a "comedy" to the audience. "people" impression.

Yuan Qiongdan has also guest-starred in many domestic dramas in recent years, including "Time Agent" and "Yan Xin Ji". In

's new drama, Yuan Qiongdan plays Song Lingling's mother.

In the play, she made a fiery appearance. After waking up Song Lingling, she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, and her nervous mood relaxed.

Then she was worried that she was sick, and the eyes she looked at were full of concern and worry for her daughter.

's slightly exaggerated expression is still familiar to the audience, so it was right to choose her to play this role.

ranked second, Chen Zihan.

Chen Zihan, the former "costume goddess", still has the same temperament and appearance as before. In "Everyday Life", she played the role of Zhao Fangru, the wife of the second young master, with a cold face and a warm heart. In " Jade Bones Remote ", she played the role of the feisty villain Qing Fei.

Whether he is a decent character or a villain, Chen Zihan's performance is just right. In

's new drama, she plays Mr. Chen, Xiao Ran's investor. In the play, she has exquisite makeup, elegant temperament, and calm posture in every move.

Especially when asking questions to the other party, he has a friendly smile on his face, but the questions he asks are straightforward, and the eyes he looks at the other party reveal his shrewdness.

In this scene, Chen Zihan captured the characteristics of the character and established the image of this "strong woman".

The third place is Wong Cho Lam.

In recent years, most of the time I have seen Wong Cho Lam in variety shows, so it is quite a surprise to see Wong Cho Lam appear in the drama.

Wong Cho Lam is not only the producer of this drama, but also plays Director Chen in the new drama.

In the play, Director Chen has doubts about the project and wants to take the opportunity to replace Xiao Ran. He speaks in an aggressive tone and expresses contempt for the project.

Wong Cho Lam captured Director Chen’s arrogant attitude just right.

ranked fourth, Zhou Jieqiong.

Zhou Jieqiong, who debuted in a girl group, did not have a smooth transition. Her performance in " You Fei " and the movie " Sunshine Sisters Taobao " were somewhat controversial.

In the new drama, she plays Song Lingling, and the character of this character also fits her own temperament.

Song Lingling in the play has a smart expression, but when she is possessed by the game character, her expressions and movements are very exaggerated. Zhou Jieqiong plays two completely opposite personalities.

Her acting skills in this drama have improved significantly, and her subsequent performance is worth looking forward to.

In addition, there are actors such as Ge Qiugu, Li Hao, and Shi Qingyan in this drama. Although there are mostly young actors, there are veteran actors in charge. I believe that the running-in between them will create a wonderful chemical reaction.

03 Conclusion

Urban romance dramas are considered to be the most likely genre to overturn nowadays. For example, " in blizzard time " and "Camp with Love" were full of expectations before the broadcast, but many people abandoned the drama after the broadcast.

And the reason goes back to the plot itself. The scripts are rough, the logic is confusing, and the characters are cliche. Those dramas that hit the street all have these characteristics. And it doesn't mean that no one will watch the plot if the plot is cliché. If you can shoot a routine with precision, the audience will pay for it.

But this drama directly chose to take a different approach and integrate fantasy colors into the plot, bringing a greater sense of freshness to the audience.

So as long as the subsequent plots can maintain this quality, this drama is expected to become a dark horse this year.
