On January 30, the highly anticipated TV series "Happy Scroll Changle City" premiered, presenting the audience with the world of costume light comedy co-starring Ma Tianyu and Bu Guanjin. However, the response after the premiere did not seem to have been as enthusiastic as expected. After the four episodes were launched, the audience who should have laughed and scolded reacted coldly, saying that the jokes in the play were not enough to cause laughter, and the main story seemed fragmented, which made people wonder if "Happy Scroll Changle City" would become a mistake in the comedy works of the bench unit.
As the criterion for judging light comedy, entertainment is undoubtedly the top priority. But according to the feedback of many netizens, the embarrassing plots in the play are constant, making people restless instead of laughing. The essence of comedy lies in its baggage and laughter, which aims to resonate with the audience through tight plot design and character interaction. However, "Happy Scroll Changle City" seems to be powerless at this point, and many of the scenes that were originally designed to be hilarious made the audience feel the embarrassment of the play, and many people began to express their disappointment online.
In addition to the lack of jokes, the narrative line of this drama has also become the focus of criticism from the audience. A clear thread is essential for any episode, and it's key to driving the story and the characters' actions. "Joy Scroll Changle City" seems to be a little vague in this regard, lacking a clear direction and story purpose. In the first two episodes, for example, the entanglement between the male and female protagonists over the school district housing comes into focus, and a series of interesting narratives could have been unfolded, but they have been mishandled and unremarkable, depriving the plot of potential to shine as it should.
In terms of character creation, "Happy Scroll Changle City" has also encountered criticism. Ma Tianyu and Bu Guanjin's characters were considered to be unreasonable in design, especially the way they were handled to push them to the love line, which was considered unconvincing by the audience. In addition, although Bu Guanjin tried to use dialect accents to add interest to the plot, it failed to achieve the desired effect and may even become a burden on the series. Although the actors' performances work hard, there still seems to be a lot of room for improvement in the presentation of comedic effects.
In terms of character diversity, "Happy Scroll Fun City" also faces challenges. For example, the princess of the Western Regions and her retinue have the same character and lack personality differences, which is especially fatal in sitcoms. All of this makes this drama lacking in entertainment and plot depth. Dear netizens, what do you think of "Happy Scroll Changle City"?
