In the trailer for "Thrush", there are two lines: "He is a gust of wind, a shadow!".This sparked heated discussions among netizens, and some people thought it was a bit "pretending". But shouldn't a real spy war drama have such a sense of mystery and tone?
Thinking back to "Emei Peak, still alone" in "Latent", and then to Zheng Yao's belief in "Kite" that he must stick to even if the line is broken first, spy war dramas have always been my favorite. This kind of drama is not only brain-burning, but also supplemented by emotional scenes, and the quality is high.
In recent years, although the number of spy war dramas has increased, most of them are similar compared with classic works. "Thrush" is different. Its story is set in 1958, which is different from common themes such as the Wang Puppet period and couples. In the play, our focus is on digging out the remaining enemy elements and protecting the safety of people's lives and property.
In terms of the starring lineup, "Thrush" gathers young actors such as Liu Xueyi, Peng Xiaoran, and Kan Suzi, and there are also old actors like Ding Yongdai to join. Although I am not very familiar with some of these actors, I believe that being young does not mean that acting skills are not good. What matters is the fit between the plot and the characters.
However, the quality of spy war dramas in recent years has been uneven, and many big-budget dramas have failed to meet the audience's expectations. "Thrush", as a drama dominated by young actors, will naturally face doubts from the audience. But I really hope that this drama can exceed expectations and surprise fans of spy war dramas again.
Finally, regardless of the quality of Thrush, we should give young actors a chance to show their talents. The future of spy war dramas requires their participation and innovation.
