"Ask the Heart"

There have been a lot of similar medical themes broadcast in the past two years. TV patients are like running water, and they are inseparable from family love and doctor-patient conflicts. "Ask the Heart" cannot escape this model.

Perhaps considering that the audience will be tired of aesthetics, the focus of the series has been slightly shifted, and the doctor's personal character, family, etc. have also become a focus, but overall, the main focus is to tell the stories of doctors and patients in units, but it is different. The focus of medical dramas is slightly different. The current story of "Ask the Heart" focuses on the conflict between doctors and patients and medical ethics. What should I do if a doctor has an accident while saving a patient? Ignoring the patient's seriousness led to the patient's death? Although the nurse does her job well, she doesn't care about the patient's dignity. Is it serious? When it comes to specific unit stories, they are definitely watchable, and at least the issues discussed themselves do not overlap too much with other dramas.

Stills of "Ask the Heart"

But from the perspective of the script, the whole thing is relatively rough. From the character design to the dialogue, it is heavily routine and functional. In order to avoid being realistic in the plot, for example, after the patient is rescued, the parents have to bow again and write a letter to thank the doctor. This letter's slogan of emphasizing the contradiction between doctors and patients makes people laugh. Saving lives should be praised, but in reality, patients' families will not emphasize it again and again.

The characters of several protagonists are also very cliche. Lin Yi, played by Jin Shijia, looks like a perennial manic patient. He blames his colleagues, kidnaps them morally, and unreasonably demands their dismissal. In reality, this kind of character is really difficult to get on the operating table. Chao Youting plays the role of a beautiful, powerful and miserable holy father who comes from a poor family but has outstanding abilities and a stable personality. Mao Xiaotong plays a lively, cute and vital little nurse.

You can watch it or not, and it’s suitable as a BGM when the whole family is having a meal together.

"Plum Blossoms and Hearts"

The undercover spy style of youth idols focuses on being fresh and not greasy. Han Dongjun and Guan Xiaotong are both eye-catching, and their acting skills are both natural. Although the acting does not have a CP feel, the advantage is that it is natural and not artificial, and it is more like brother and sister getting along. Don't tell me, it's quite cute.

Produced by Haifei, there are no major problems with the spy war content. Unlike some spy war dramas, which cannot grasp the rhythm well, when to throw bait to the audience, when to pull back, when to create a tense atmosphere, and when to resolve the crisis, it is mature. , a script that is highly watchable. It does not pretend to be magical or mysterious. Some of the holes dug at the moment are filled in immediately, and other holes that should be exposed in the long term are hidden. The fate of the protagonist and the relationship between colleagues are all hidden details. .

Hai Fei's script has obvious characteristics and may not be sophisticated enough, but once you open it, you will look forward to the next episode.

"Hong Kong People in Beijing"

The previous film in this series dates back to 26 years ago. In 1997, "Hong Kong People in Guangzhou" was produced by Wang Xinshuo. Why it was filmed is obvious from the year it was broadcast. After such a long time, "Hong Kong People in Beijing" will be aired this month as a Taiwanese celebration drama.

"Hong Kong People in Beijing" poster

The themes of TVB's Hong Kong dramas in recent years have made audiences tired of watching police and criminals, forensics, suspense, and wealthy families... It is the experience of Hong Kong people going north, which sounds very interesting. It has been decades since Hong Kong's return, although it is getting easier and easier to go to Hong Kong now. But the gap between the two places has always existed, from the macro cultural level to the details of life and speech. Although many Hong Kong dramas nowadays are mainly produced by Youku Hong Kong Theater and co-produced dramas, they are limited to mainland capital and audiences. Lizi is still a Hong Kong team and Hong Kong culture.

Talking about the series itself, this time "Hong Kong People in Beijing" is a Taiwanese celebration drama, and it is sincere. Produced by Zhong Shujia, it stars TVB's popular A-list Chen Zhanpeng, and was filmed in Beijing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. But is it enough? Then we have to look at it separately.

First of all, this is the type of family-friendly comedy that TVB writers are good at. Chen Zhanpeng plays the role of the eldest brother Xu Gangren (the name is really straightforward). Due to a job transfer, he had to go to Beijing to be the branch president. Unexpectedly, he met his sworn enemy as soon as he arrived. , was demoted from president to middle-level leader. His wife was a lawyer and originally wanted to be a rich wife, but in the end she had to continue working as a lawyer in Beijing to support the family. Xu Gangren's younger brother and sister also stayed in Beijing due to the accident.

What the series does well is that there are indeed some jokes that focus on the differences between the two places, such as mobile payment, the names of power banks and other items, living habits, etc. However, the main plot seems to be very weak at present. It only relies on Chen Zhanpeng's character, and the content seems dry, boring and single.

More importantly, compared to 26 years ago, this show has been crushed in every aspect. The content of "Hong Kong People in Guangzhou" unfolds very naturally. The two lines run parallelly by Yu Yingtie from Hong Kong and Wu Jianyi from Guangzhou. First, it shows that Hong Kong people looked down on the mainland at that time, but they had to go north to make money and envied the mainland. The ambivalence is cheap in all aspects, and the image of a strong, hard-working and honest mainlander is created through Wu Jianyi, a small figure in Guangzhou. The two protagonists understand each other in business dealings and life encounters. Just watch one episode and you will know the capabilities of the TVB team at that time. From the writers and directors to the actors, they were all elites who worked hard.

As for the current one, the general direction is conservative, and it only focuses on this kind of shallow culture. The script is not as good as the rhythm of a normal Hong Kong drama. It is more like completing a task, but with professional skills, the task is not too bad. That’s all.

"Double Shadow Sniper"

After Hong Kong people are embarrassed in Beijing, Hong Kong people are like a duck in water in Hong Kong. "Double Shadow" is reminiscent of "Double Shadow" starring Lin Baoyi, and can also be reminded of the previous "Sniper" series. The series features many Hong Kong actors familiar to mainland audiences. Some commentators joked that Media Asia has produced a traditional Hong Kong police and robber suspense drama that is more TVB than TVB's police and robber drama. After watching a few episodes, I found it to be very Hong Kong. Although Bosco Bosco has a greasy hairstyle, he is still a handsome person.

Stills from "Double Shadow Sniper"

Overall, the level of the drama is considered to be above the pass level among Hong Kong dramas in recent years. Policewoman Xiaochen discovers the body of her twin sister Liang Xi. In order to find out the truth, Xiaochen pretends to be her sister and returns to Hong Kong to enter her sister's life role. , trying to find clues in Liang Xi's interpersonal relationships and work life. The plot does not delay or interrupt, and basically continues to advance based on the main line. Those who like suspense can follow it.

A sprained waist, being trampled by a horse... the reasons why people were injured were all kinds of strange, sad and a little funny at the same time.
