The first part " The Long Season "
Rating: 9.4
Starring: Fan Wei / Qin Hao / Chen Minghao
Plot review: My best of 2023, I didn’t expect it to be a domestic TV series. The script is exquisitely conceived and clever, and multiple clues from two eras can be released and closed at the same time, especially beautifully. The echoes of magical realism in the first and last two episodes, the stream of consciousness snow and the passing train at the end, are all wonderful. The theme has quite a legacy of scar literature. The tragic situation of the laid-off wave in Northeast China in the 1990s could not be realistically represented, so a murder case was used to connect the characters and their fates together, creating a helpless and hopeless social atmosphere at that time. The murder is the outside, but facing the wounds of the times is the inside. Also, Bong Joon-ho's "Memories of Murder" has had a profound influence on Asian directors, and the director of this drama must be one of them.
The second part "The Hidden Corner"
Rating: 8.8
Starring: Qin Hao/Wang Jingchun/Rong Zishan
Plot review: I watched "The Long Season" before watching this one. Personally, I prefer the former. However, this film has its merits. Qin Hao was chosen to play Zhang Dongsheng, and he played this eccentric, paranoid and surly person to the core. Every time he took off that wig, I was afraid, and I thought he was hateful and hateful from the beginning. I think he is pathetic. The direction of the plot is not difficult to guess, but the "suspense" part is not exciting. What is most attractive and worth thinking about is: the impact of the original family on the children, and the fatal impact that unqualified parents have on the growth of their children. It is said that the original novel is more "cruel". After reading it roughly, the part about Zhu Jingjing's death is indeed very dark. I recommend reading the original novel.
The third part of "The Chronicles of the Song Dynasty"
Rating: 7.8
Starring: Zhang Xincheng / Zhou Yutong / Zheng Wei
Plot review: 3.5, overall it is smooth, but there are bugs in many details. However, fortunately, the acting skills of all the members are on point. This is a very passionate patriotic group drama. The screenwriter is really good, the whole drama is very brisk, and it has a lot of baggage, which is very funny. Every story is full of twists and turns, and you can't guess what the ending will be until you see the end. Secondly, each character has its own characteristics, especially the heroine is really well portrayed, independent and knows what she wants. Then the friendship line, the two love lines and the family line are particularly easy to deal with. After watching this drama, you will believe that the Song Dynasty really has such a group of passionate patriotic teenagers. The more such conscience dramas, the merrier!
The fourth part "Remaining Crime Season 1"
Rating: 8.4
Starring: Zhang Yishan/Wu You/Chang Rong
Plot review: I was very addicted at the beginning and watched several episodes in a row. I like the original novel very much. I didn't expect the web series but I was pleasantly surprised. The rich atmosphere of urban life, the sin under the light, the friendship in the darkness, the commercial character packaging and the story are all amazing. And this is actually an online drama that was produced in 2016. I really admire the censorship system at that time. I really dared to film it. The scale is very large. It is estimated that few people dare to film like this now, mainly because it may not pass the review. In addition, this drama can also be called Zhang Yishan's transformation work, and the role of Yu Zui suits him very well. However, after this drama, he rarely received good scripts. Basically, he was flooded with bad movies and dramas, which is really a pity.
The fifth part of "Under the Brocade"
Rating: 7.5
Starring: Ren Jialun / Tan Songyun / Han Dong
Plot review: It is a very surprising TV series. I thought it was ordinary when I looked at the pictures and gifs, but because it is quite I liked Tan Songyun so I gave it a try. It turned out that the male and female protagonists in the drama were so censorious that they could completely ignore the shoddy special effects. Moreover, the overall plot is compact and logical, and will not be fake at first glance. In addition, the plot and emotional drama of the protagonist and supporting characters are rich, and the whole drama feels complete and step-by-step. I especially want to praise the male protagonist’s eye-catching scene and the female protagonist’s innocent and cute naturalness in playing the little girl. There aren’t many kissing scenes, but they still make people sigh from the bottom of their hearts: It’s so sweet, so sweet. In short, if you read the drama from 5 years ago and watch it again now, you will still find unexpected surprises.
