To be honest, over the years, as I watched more and more movies and TV series, there are not many that I can afford to watch overnight. And the one I want to recommend to you today is one.
Once the show was broadcast, it was labeled as "large scale", "uncoded", "super cast", "brain-burning plot", "needling current affairs", "challenging taboos" and so on. I think These simple words can't convey the goodness of this show.
Let's take a look at what netizens say:
The quality of Netflix is not bad, plus Zhang Xiaoquan, who is from the abstinence system, it was a heavenly dish when he was young. Why not? Anyway, I can! ! Because Ruby Lin gave another star! @BryanHyun ●︿●
watched the 8 episodes in one breath. The biggest highlight, "Li Yajun", did not see Ruby Lin's shadow. Ruby Lin's acting skills were really underestimated, and she was amazed by her eye scenes. In particular, she starred in a close to crazy but very crazy The role of a sensible cleaner, and the whole process of nude makeup plus special effects ugly makeup@胖胖小豆子
is a very good episode. Audiovisual, suspenseful and excellent atmosphere. What is worthy to be touched is the perspective of Tiffany Hsu and Ruby Lin, who are both participants and bystanders. Moreover, the two people understand the pain and meaning of life from the perspective of death and life respectively. Performing collectively online, Zhang Xiaoquan's various obsessive-compulsive actions are very extra points, including empty eyes. Ruby Lin's image of the self-righteous demon is also good. @居无间
This show can completely dump the first three Netflix movies for several blocks. It turns out that Netflix is worth the money, and it is more practical to buy than self-made.... Praise the crew of this show~The details of the script are in place. The acting skills of the entire actor group are online, which is really amazing...it can be called the Taiwanese version of CSI @Mo Mo

"Who is the Victim" is a Chinese drama series produced by Netflix, starring Zhang Xiaoquan, Xu Ting, and Wang Zhixian, and Ruby Lin is a special star.
This is the fourth Chinese-language drama produced by Netflix. Perhaps the reason for its success is that it has learned the lessons of "The Great Daughter" and "The Marriage of the Other Shore", allowing Taiwanese producers to have the content leadership, while Netflix only has the exclusive global broadcasting rights. . This ensures the absolute freedom of creators, and avoids the phenomenon of unaccustomed foreign teams in TV series production.
director Zeng Hanxian and producer Tang Shengrong spent two years polishing the script. The two are regarded as gold partners, and they have won the Golden Bell Award for "they exploded the day before graduation", "anaesthetic storm" and other works.
The local actors Zhang Xiaoquan, Xu Ting-Ning and others have also lived up to expectations. Especially Ruby Lin, who has been missing from the audience for a long time, is a highlight of the show. This is a super cast.

mentioned this drama, the first thing that attracts people is not the plot, but the so-called "large scale".
Not long after the plot starts, you will see the dissolved corpses and the burned corpses found in a building, but these corpses are not mosaiced as before, but appear in the camera and appear in front of your eyes. , Very scary, really large scale.
You can think that this is the intention of the producer, and the purpose is to increase the ratings. Is it a speculation? I have to admit that it is true.
However, if you continue watching with curiosity, I am afraid you will be disappointed, because from the third episode onwards, the large scale is gone, only the brain is left.
The drama tells the story of Fang Yiren (Zhang Xiaoquan), a forensic doctor who suffers from Asperger's disease, while investigating a weird serial murder, and learns that his estranged daughter Jiang Xiaomeng (played by Li Mu) is suspected of being involved.
In order to find the truth, he must cooperate with the reporter Xu Haiyin (Xu Weining) who has important clues to save his daughter's life.

Let's briefly talk about the victims in the play.
Transgender people who grew up in a conservative family were beaten and humiliated because they were not accepted by their parents. He finally wore women's clothing and "auto-dissolved" in the bathtub with a chemical solvent.
The singer who has passed away, lost his soul and insanity because of his fame. She died in a miserable way, knelt and set herself on fire.
a diligent and honest salesman who worked hard under the company's squeeze. Unfortunately, he was terminally ill, but the company refused to pay performance rewards. He died by overdose of fentanyl.
Blind woodcarver. His works were sold and published by his younger brother in his name, and his younger brother became a famous woodcarver artist. He gained both fame and fortune. He had nothing and died in the river.
Those who stumbled when they were young. He once participated in kidnapping and tearing tickets. After he was released from prison, he lost faith in life because of guilt. After several suicide attempts, he was injected with too much fentanyl and died in the hospital...
It seems that every victim is nothing but surprise, but as the protagonist Fang Yiren finds a pattern, he is a little thoughtful and terrified:
After the clerk committed suicide, every victim completed his last wish through death, and they also helped the next victim complete his last wish. Then who is it that connects these suicidal people together and makes them die one after another according to the plan?
The person who praised the gender identity died at the home of the violent singer, the clerk died at the construction site of the sweat company where the salesperson worked, the salesperson died in the warehouse of the younger brother of the woodcarver, and the woodcarver died at the crime scene when he was a teenager. ……
has to admit that a film and television drama, even if the cast lineup is strong, and the plot is brain-burning, if there is no deep connotation, it cannot stand the scrutiny of time.
cast strong
"Who is the Victim" has connotations.
The slogan given by the production team ofto this show is-cruel world", everyone is a victim.
The screenwriter Liang Shuting of the play suddenly remembered a sentence read from other books when she was conceiving: "Some people live without anyone caring, but when they die, many people are interested."
So she followed this idea to come up with a new concept behind the series of serial killings, in order to link the reporter, the murder case, and the persecutor together and extend it.
Whatfinally presented to the audience reflected what is happening in society now, including social topics such as actress being bullied by the Internet, gender equality, and overwork.

Director Zeng Hanxian also said: "Our original intention was to express the evil stories of people who cannot speak up in society. The plight of these people can only be manifested through death through the performance of drama."
I think Zeng Hanxian’s goal has been achieved to a certain extent, because after watching "Who is the Victim", the audience can pay attention to the "group of people who can't speak" around them, even if they cannot understand as deeply as the characters in the play. Victims, but may be able to unintentionally change the fate of some people.
Okay, that’s all for today. This "Who is the Victim" that challenges taboo topics has a powerful cast, a brain-burning plot, deep connotation, good-looking and deep, and it is worth watching all night!
