Caveat: My taste is kind of basic. I like popcorn movies that are easy to watch over a meal, and anything too highbrow just doesn’t hold my attention. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes!
Theme:
In recent years I have been unable to watch TV dramas, but this year there were a few short dramas that made me watch an entire drama from scratch. One is "The Beginning" and the other two are Mango TV's short drama "Nian Nian Wu Ming". I watched the editing on Station B and saw the scenes where the male and female protagonists change costumes are beautiful, so I finished them. The male and female protagonists have been trained in various supporting roles before, and their acting skills are fun and not awkward. Although it is a small-budget online drama with limited funds, the camera sense is great. There is also the recently concluded "Flowers in the Autumn Moon Night", which is a rare plot that uses ancient musical instruments. Although the plot is a bit bloody, the male and female protagonists' IQs are online and not too embarrassing. In addition, in the plot, except for the heroine's pipa specialty, which is real, the male protagonist's fingering is at least correct. Although the other supporting characters don't know how to play this instrument, they should at least learn the fingering techniques so that they don't play randomly, which would make the dubbing later look awkward. Another point is that the heroine is a newcomer. There is a character in the play who turns around and smiles, which is very similar to Mu Tingting, so the publicity is everywhere, and there are even remarks that disparage the heroine Mu Tingting for being too tall. The marketing is too much and causes discomfort. I hope that the new actress who plays the heroine will be able to act steadily and respect her seniors in the future. (Ps If you are not a fan of Mu Tingting, someone here must not be trying to bully me!)
