The "Top Ten Hot Dramas" of 2023 are announced!"The Glory of the Fathers" ranked 7th, and "Hurricane" barely ranked 4thTime flies, day and night. In the blink of an eye, 2023 has quietly come to an end. Looking back on the past year, China's drama has not only achieved significant growth in quantity, but also ushered in a significant "recovery" in terms of quality.
Taking Douban evaluation as an example, as long as a domestic drama reaches a score of 8, it can be hailed as a masterpiece, and more than 10 works have reached this standard this year. However, which of these works can be called "overlords"?At present, the list of the top ten domestic dramas in 2023 has been released.
The list comprehensively considers the ratings of the series, the number of network **, the rating, the number of ratings, social evaluations and other elements, aiming to provide you with a little reference when chasing dramas. Without further ado, let's start this journey of discovery together.
Back then, "Red" amazed countless audiences, and the star-studded "New World" made people's hearts twist. Therefore, when "Huanyan" debuted, many people were worried about it. However, it has actually proved that this drama is indeed a masterpiece worthy of careful savoring.
The story still continues Xu Bing's "**absurd style", with the young man Xu Tian as the protagonist, presenting a rich and unique ** style picture. Lao Sun, Yu Yixiu, Zhang Jiayi, Tao Tao, Yang Zhi and others followed Xu Tian to the north from Nanyang to Shanghai. Director and screenwriter Xu Bing reveals China's revolutionary path since the late Qing Dynasty with symbolic lines, which makes people feel mixed after watching it. After watching it, there is still contemplation.
As a loyal lover of domestic comedy, this year's taste in drama makes me look forward to the wonderful presentation in the future.
In recent years, domestic comedy works seem to have gradually disappeared, and classics such as "My Heart's Home", "Legend of Jianghu" and "Underground Traffic Station" are no longer new. But the laughing giant Zhao Benshan appeared again.
In my opinion, "The Legend of the Raven Knife Gate" is quite a funny work. There may be some clichés, but the performances of actors such as Zhao Benshan and Wen Song can really make people laugh.
The Spring Festival Gala has been criticized over the years, why not make people laugh first?Otherwise, it's a little too serious. At present, Mango TV wants to build a monsoon theater, and actually found Li Mo as the chief director, which can be said to be quite discerning.
first "I live well in a foreign land", and then "Sanxi Ushers in a New Job", Li Mo continues to move the audience with his sincere works. For his work, the secret to success is sincerity.
The opening chapter of "Apocalypse" shows a strong urban atmosphere, placing people in the city in a social scene full of artificiality, which arouses the audience's deep thinking. Tired, strife, and ambiguous, in Li Mo's works, the masks of urban men and women are lifted one by one.
The period drama directed by Kang Honglei has not lost its texture at all. To put it bluntly, although "The Glory of the Predecessors" failed to reach the original popularity of "Between the Worlds", it is by no means inferior in quality. The Gu family's life became more difficult with the arrival of several other children.
Time flies, society changes, and everyone feels confused when they meet the great changes, as if they are in a helpless place, which has become a resonant topic. In life, it is inevitable for everyone to experience aging, but at this moment, there are still some young people who are bathing in the fragrance of youth.
Salute to those pioneers who dared to challenge the trend, who were brave enough to embrace this era of change. Throughout the years of 2023, "To a Windy Place" stands out for its uniqueness, with a total of 40 episodes, with petty bourgeois sentiment as the main tone, and it was met with countless doubts when it first appeared.
The story tells the story of a young girl who is in the city, and after many twists and turns in her family, career, and friendship, she resolutely abandons everything and chases the "windy land" she yearns for. Whether she could find spiritual comfort in that area has led to thought. Some people may scoff at this as pure nonsense.
Although the plot develops a little slowly, the idyllic scenery makes "To a Windy Place" dance in an otherwise minefield-ridden field. The poetic dance enchanted the audience and deeply infected every viewer.
Suspense dramas are often easier to get hits, such as iQiyi's Fog Theater is a typical example. However, costume suspense dramas are facing many difficulties. Luckily, in the past two years, titles such as "Tales of the Tang Dynasty", "The Wind Rises in Longxi" and "Da Ming under the Microscope" have set a good example for this type of series.
Under the Prosperous City" does not take the usual path. It not only has the basic elements of suspense dramas, but also digs deep into the social style and humanistic customs of the middle and late Ming Dynasty by focusing on the lives of ordinary people. While maintaining the rigor of the story, the delicate and nuanced pictures are presented in a profound and touching way. You can feel the tranquil scenery of small bridges and flowing waters, lush greenery and wall by tile.
Every picture, every scene, "Under the Prosperous City" brings the dramatic tension and artistic beauty to the extreme. This year, the popularity of "Hurricane" is self-evident.
From the perspective of story content, "Hurricane" uses three timelines to interweave the narrative, with An Xin and Gao Qiqiang, the two protagonists of good and evil, as the core, showing a grand narrative masterpiece. Cracking down on underworld forces has always been one of the popular themes of domestic dramas.
In addition, "Hurricane" brings together Zhang Yi, Zhang Songwen, Gao Ye, Zhang Zhijian, Ni Dahong and other powerful actors, which makes this already fascinating story stand out from the rest. Perhaps the only regrettable thing about later limitations and modifications.
But even so, "Hurricane" has Gao Qiqiang as one of the protagonists, and after "Conquest" and "Black Ice" at the beginning of the century, it is still a fairly grand anti-black drama. It's very ornamental.
And "Ask the Boundless" is the only TV series in this list that has not been rated. So why do I dare to rank it in third place?
is also a work that focuses on positive energy, "Ask the Boundless" gets rid of the old routine of focusing only on the grand narrative and ignoring the individual spirit, and successfully pushes the attraction of the story to a new climax. Similarly, there are also the highly acclaimed "Awakening Age" and "Mountains and Seas", in which Wang Renjun plays the role of *** Baike as Chiang Kai-shek, and Ning Li plays Chen Duxiu.
Behind each actor is the creator's ingenious conception of a new perspective on China from 1921 to 1927. The whole play is vivid and delicate, full of clear details, and it can be described as a rare masterpiece. It was questioned from the beginning, but now it has a Douban score of 87 has been a success, and the broadcast of the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" has relieved many fans of "The Three-Body Problem".
Needless to say, the grandeur and profundity of the original work of "The Three-Body Problem", so the director of the drama version Yang Lei wisely chose the screenwriter Tian Liangliang, who has always respected the original work, which is undoubtedly the most suitable choice. On the basis of maintaining respect for the original work, the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" makes up for some deficiencies of the original work in terms of the overall special effects presentation and the high portrayal of characters such as Wang Miao and **.
There are countless topics that want to praise the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem". However, in the face of such a great work and an excellent adaptation of the drama version, all the words seem a little pale. Why don't you see it for yourself? Among this year's domestic dramas, "The Long Season" has established the best position with its number of ratings and high scores, but how good it is may still be an unsolved mystery.
Compared with the previous domestic suspense dramas, such as "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth", "The Long Season" does not occupy much advantage in the setting and advancement of the suspense plot, and it can be said that it is evenly matched.
However, the most striking aspect of this drama lies in the clever deconstruction of the storyline and the superb use of narrative techniques.
As the "eldest son of the republic", the three eastern provinces were once old industrial bases and once had a glorious history. The decline of an era can undoubtedly have a profound impact on individuals, groups and millions of people in this hot land.
In this process, people have a deep reflection on life, experience feelings and losses, and at the same time have worries and expectations for the future. Perhaps they will express their complex emotions with some kind of gesture, but when they turn to look back, the past has become distant.
On the road to the future, they are determined to move forward, no longer looking back at the thorns of the past, only with the expectation of the unknown and brave steps.
