　　 Up to now, the series has scored 8.0 on Douban, surpassing last year's "Dream of Dreams" to achieve the word-of-mouth counterattack of Netflix's Chinese-language crime suspense drama.

　　 Today, let’s talk about it again-

　　 poster sets the tone of the whole show, and the main characters have different expressions-defense, determination, anger, dodge, despair and even madness, undercurrents surging everywhere.

　　 On August 14, the show was exclusively launched on Watermelon Video, and the full episode is available for VIP. After the second brush, let's talk about something new.

　　 "Who is the Victim" not only assembled Zhang Xiaoquan, Xu Ting, Wang Zhixian, Ruby Lin and other top actors in Taiwan's film and television industry, but the creative team behind it should not be underestimated:

　　 "Storm of Anesthesia", the film "Little Girl in Red" series of Zeng Hanxian served as the director system, "Maiden: The Little Girl in Red Gaiden" director Zhuang Xuanwei and "The Eyewitness" deputy director Chen Guanzhong jointly directed, more word-of-mouth break Tang Shengrong, the producer of "The Distance Between Us and Evil", joined the table.

　　 should be attributed to the art team and special make-up artist who won the Golden Bell Award. The scenes of the murders in the drama, such as strong acid dissolution, fire burning, and falling from high altitude, are extremely real and shocking. .

　　 was created by Liu Xizhen, the main visual designer of the 26th Golden Melody Awards, and the unique equipment "Blue Gloves" of Forensic Science became the primer for finding clues.

　　 And the profession of the male protagonist Fang Yiren (played by Zhang Xiaoquan), an appraiser, is also closely related to the confusing case and the complicated cause and effect behind it.

"Forensic is the science of understanding human behavior patterns."

　　 "Through the legacy of evidence, to understand how and why people do it."

　　 This is the first scene of the whole play, the content of the lessons in the police academy forensics class.

　　 However, the irony is that most of the deceased that the police forensic work will look at are those who were suppressed by no one cared before their lives.

　　 Correspondingly, the actor Fang Yiren is also a "freak."

　　 Although he has outstanding thinking and reasoning ability, this kind of obsession with reasoning is actually one of the manifestations of suffering from Asperger's disease.

　　 Under the influence of this kind of "autism without intellectual disability", Fang Yiren not only has social difficulties and communication difficulties, but also tends to experience unstable emotions due to sudden changes.

has been squeezed out by classmates since his school days.

　　, as a colleague of forensic officials, walked into a group of police officers talking and laughing, and it would still cool the pleasant atmosphere instantly.

　　 This is in sharp contrast with the heroine Xu Haiyin (Xu Weining), who is exquisite and exquisite, who does everything in order to obtain exclusive materials.

　　 As a reporter, Xu Haiyin, in order to interview the family of "The First Dead" singer Su Keyun, lied that she was a fan of her mother.

　　 Before entering the door, drop eye drops into your eyes to create the illusion of crying.

　　 and Su Keyun’s mother seemed warm, and the occasional “abnormal shooting” scene reminded the audience: “Collecting materials” is always the first priority of this woman.

　　 However, Xu Haiyin's routine seemed to lose its effectiveness in front of Fang Yiren.

　　 When the two negotiated for the first time, Xu Haiyin's smile used to narrow the distance froze uncontrollably, and even rolled his eyes when he sat in the back seat.

　　 In front of Fang Yiren, who had communication difficulties and seemed completely incomprehensible, his proud negotiation skills also failed. Xu Haiyin's face finally sank, and he went straight to the subject in Fang Yiren's way.

　　 This collision and wrestling between the male and female protagonists adds a lot to the drama.

　　 However, such an inhumane "weird" who only cared about the case lost an inch when the suspect's fingerprint test result pointed to a girl.

　　Who is a girl? Fang Yiren was able to let go of his professional ethics and hide the evidence and fingerprint results at the expense of hindering the detection of the case.

　　 Maybe some readers already have their own guesses. No spoilers, please find out for yourself if you are interested.

　　 In addition, another important feature of "Who is the Victim" is that the core issue of the suspense setting is changed from the traditional suspense crime drama focusing on "who is the murderer" to "who is the victim", and will think Extend to the social scale.

　　, through the cases in each episode, reveals a diverse and in-depth portrait of the bottom-level characters-the tragic actresses who have lost their glory, the transgender people who are not accepted by the society, the social animals who are dismissed by the black heart company after suffering from cancer...

　　 Li Yajun, a mysterious woman played by Lin Xinru, and Jiang Xiaomeng, a girl who is closely related to Fang Yiren’s history, have any relationship with this series of serial murders? What plans are they brewing?

　　 Although some of the above-mentioned characters are brilliant and some are slightly inadequate, this focus on the margins of society and under the shadow is worthy of recognition anyway.

　　 So, from the male and female protagonists and each deceased, various social issues such as professional ethics, journalistic ethics, gender identity, collusion between officials and the police/government business are shown.

　　's revelation of the truth of the case is also a realistic, revealing and critique of the dark side of society.

　　 "The duty of the forensic personnel is to restore every detail of the deceased's life and care about every little thing of the deceased's life through the subtle clues."

　　 As the producer Zeng Hanxian said, the sad thing about forensic science is: when desperately trying to get more details from the deceased, to understand and know them, the deceased is already dead and cannot be restored.

's belated gaze is also belated dignity.

　　 This reminds us to care, to care, what caused their death.

　　 is the hatred of others, the despair of oneself, or the invisible repression and neglect of the entire society, which is composed of indifference and prejudice...

　　 When we see the faces of the "victims" one by one, it is time to throw the question back:

　　 If there is an offender, who is TA?

　　 If the world around them changes a little, if the "victims" can find a reason and a glimmer of hope to support them, can they usher in a turning point and lead to a different ending?
