There is one type of subject matter that is most likely to be loved and hated by audiences, and that is domestic period dramas.

There are some that are both realistic and empathetic like " Parental Love " and " Human World ", and there are also some that change from a love triangle to a love triangle like "Nine Roads of Love", which are bloody and suspended.

However, such works have a high output and are more likely to be well-known and well-known. They always make the audience want to stop. Every time a period drama comes out, they can't help but watch two episodes.

But you can tell the difference between a good drama and a bad drama at a glance. Whether

For example, the period drama "BOYS OF BABYLON", which just aired, not only took the first place in popularity in just 4 episodes, but also made people more and more fascinated as they watched it.

One, sweet and funny, period romance drama finds the right way to open it

Domestic period dramas often incorporate various elements.

has "Riding the Wind and Waves" which combines era and entrepreneurship.

There is also "Storm Chaser" which combines era and espionage.

and "The Great Detective of the Republic of China" which combine era and suspense, etc.

It can be seen from these dramas how versatile period themes are, and this "Young Babylon" focuses on the heroine who graduates from college and works as a doctor in a food factory, and who misses the college entrance examination and works in a food factory. The male protagonist is a typical combination of age and love.

Although this method is not new, "Babylon" has found the right way to open it, using three scenes to make the audience feel that this drama is not only sweet, but also full of laughter.

The first scene, missed the college entrance examination, the male and female protagonists meet for the first time

There are many opening scenes set up as happy enemies, but like this drama, it is rare that the male and female protagonists almost become enemies when they first meet.

male protagonist Lu Xiaolu (played by Hou Minghao ) accompanied his friend to the food factory to confess his love. It was obviously a big day like the college entrance examination, but the two of them didn't take it to heart at all.

One is a true love-minded person, and the other is also true-hearted, but the girl his friend likes doesn't like him, and he asked people in the factory to help drive them away, which finally alerted the police.

Originally, the heroine Bai Lan (played by Yang Caiyu) was beautifully dressed and reported to the factory. However, Lu Xiaolu, who was shocked, snatched the box as soon as she came up. All the clothes and scarves inside fell out and floated all over the sky. Bai Lan immediately let Bai Lan Lan Xianshe died a wave of times.

Lu Xiaolu has been educated and has not caught up with the college entrance examination. "Young Babylon" managed to capture such a tense college entrance examination moment with a relaxed and joyful feeling.

The second scene, the billiard hall battle

The next thing is two people who can't deal with each other fight to the death in the billiard hall.

Bailan's character was not to be bullied. When she saw Lu Xiaolu's brother making trouble in the factory, he picked up the ashtray on the table and knocked him down. However, as a doctor, she was worried that his brother had a concussion, so Directly found the billiards hall.

However, Lu Xiaolu’s brother not only didn’t take it seriously, he even picked up a pole and wanted to play billiards with Bai Lan. However, he never expected that the man who opened the billiard hall had never played billiards and had only played billiards for two years. Bai Lan was stunned and was defeated by the other party.

When Lu Xiaolu saw that the momentum was not right, he stepped in for his brother. At the critical moment to turn the situation around, Lu Xiaolu's parents learned that he had failed the college entrance examination and appeared in the billiard hall.

One second he was confident and determined to surpass the heroine, and the next second he was in a state of embarrassment being chased and beaten by his own mother. This reversal made me laugh again.

The third scene, catching the gangster

Lu Xiaolu and Bai Lan had a deep misunderstanding. Unexpectedly, one rainy night, the exhibitionist wearing the welding mask Lu Xiaolu just got stopped him on the way back to the dormitory alone. of white and blue.

Bai Lan mistakenly thought that Lu Xiaolu was taking revenge on him and regarded him as a gangster. In order to prove his innocence, Lu Xiaolu tried every means to catch the gangster. During

, we made a lot of jokes, such as asking one of his friends to dress up as a woman, but the gangster didn't catch it, and instead ruined his brother's plan.

Then he found the daughter of the cattle master who was catching pigs in the cafeteria. Unexpectedly, she was very enchanting in red clothes and had a graceful figure. The next second, she suddenly grinned and yelled at the top of her lungs that there were gangsters. She was also scared away by him. .

Lu Xiaolu had no choice but to ask Bai Lan for help. He helped her repair her bicycle, and she was a hero who saved the beauty. She just turned from not dealing with it to gradually feeling emotional, and pink bubbles were quietly floating.

I have to say that period dramas like this are indeed more interesting. Watching the male protagonist grow up while watching the heroine gradually being attracted by the other's charm is indeed very exciting.

2, Yang Caiyu + Hou Minghao, the more good-looking CPs get better and better

There are almost no sister-brother romance CPs launched in the Chinese drama market in recent years that can be watched, not only because the plot progress is abrupt, making it difficult to experience the two in a step-by-step manner. The sweetness among people has fermented, especially because there was a problem with the casting.

If the heroine is too old and the hero's face is too childish, it will turn into a "mother-child love" in a matter of minutes. If the looks are not good enough, it will be even less convincing. The beautiful sister falls in love with the ugly brother, or maybe It's almost embarrassing for a handsome brother to fall in love with an ugly sister.

However, the selection of Yang Caiyu and Hou Minghao in "Young Babylon" is tantamount to winning at the starting line. Yang Caiyu's style is inherently cool and atmospheric, and also reveals a literary and romantic feeling.

And Hou Minghao is full of boyishness, sunny and handsome with a bit of handsome temperament, no matter who the two of them are attracted to, it makes sense.

Judging from the rival scenes between the two in the early plot, they are both good-looking and very immersive. It is pleasing to the eye and looks like a brother and sister in love!

CP like this is more attractive. In addition, Yang Caiyu plays the character melancholy and elegantly, with the fatal attraction of a mature sister, while Hou Minghao controls the character's active, naughty and righteous characteristics, making the two They couldn't help but get close to each other and have a foothold.

This time, Yang Caiyu chose the right script and got Wang Zha, which made him popular again.

In addition, the performance of other actors in the play is also remarkable. For example, Qin Juan, the factory flower played by Xiang Hanzhi, is like a young girl who has not grown up. She is cute and cute with a bit of a princess temperament. Look It looks very agile.

And the little friend Li Guangnan played by Fei Qiming is cowardly and a bit cunning, and his image is very vivid.

There is also Lu Xiaolu’s mother, played by the powerful actor Zhao Qian, who is full of joy. The last second she was so proud of her son’s brilliant radio speech that she couldn’t hold back her lips.

The next second I heard the broadcast, before I could turn it off, my son started talking nonsense, and Lu Xiaolu’s mother bared her teeth and rushed into the broadcast room, which made people laugh so hard that they couldn’t stop laughing.

It is full of modernity, and has a funny and real plot, which makes people feel like they are back in the 1990s, and the performance of the actors is a real bonus. This is a good period drama!

I don’t know if this drama is your cup of tea?
