The first suspense drama to lead in 2024 is none other than "19th Floor", the ** version is already very popular, but I didn't expect the drama version to still be so popular. Although there are many suspense dramas, most of them in China are still biased towards solving crimes, and there are really not many that are more thrilling, "19 Floors" is not only close to this aspect, but also a unique aesthetic Chinese suspense.
Starring Sun Qian, Wei Zheming, Wang Ruoshan and others, "19 Floors" tells the story of college student Chunyu and others who are caught up in a game called "19 Floors" that they can't get rid of.
Chunyu, a college student from a small family of origin, is pulled into a game called "19th Floor" with a complex design and no escape for no reason. In the game, Chunyu meets the male protagonist Gao Xuan, a mysterious and complex person, Doudou with powerful skills, and the funny Yang Bawan and others. Together with her friends, she experiences various levels such as a shadow puppet wall full of horror atmosphere, a deserted village pursued by leather figurines, and her friends fail in different levels, resulting in a coma in reality. Under multiple difficulties, Chunyu decides to find out why they entered the game and the conspiracy behind the game. In the interweaving of the game world and real life, everyone learned love and respect, and realized the meaning of life from adversity. Finally, the young men uncover the conspiracy behind the "19th floor" game. Chunyu also finally reconciled with his father and came out of the shadow of his past.
This setting and plot look a bit like the previous Korean "Squid Game", but after watching it, I know that it is completely different, and it is more exciting than "Squid Game", and the story is more layered.
The most intriguing thing in the whole story is the character of Chunyu, who accidentally entered this "Xuan Realm", but Chunyu has many good qualities, witty, brave, and kind, so she also relies on her to uncover the truth layer by layer, even in the face of building blocks with demons, she can try again and again.
Chunyu and the male protagonist snuggled up to each other, just to find out the truth, but they didn't know that this calm and steady man was really the initiator of the whole "Xuanjing", but fortunately, in the end, the male protagonist was also moved by the spring rain and jumped off the trap he set, and the story was over.
The content of suspense dramas is very similar, no matter how bizarre the story is, it is actually to expose the good, evil, beauty and ugliness behind human nature. Suspense dramas are like Pandora's box, and the audience insists on opening them, releasing all the facets of human nature, and finally showing everyone this colorful world and complex human nature. Fortunately, there is still hope in Pandora's box, so no matter how complicated the process is, there is always the possibility of seeing hope in the end.
Gao Xuan in the play never imagined that he would encounter spring rain at first, and when he set a "trap" step by step, he also pushed himself into it step by step. In the 19th floor, I saw all sides of human nature, and Chunyu also experienced failure and parting, and separated from good friends one after another, but fortunately, I was able to gain something every time and understood the meaning of life. Only when she met Gao Xuan, a man she couldn't control, he was sadder than any level, and in the end, even if she unlocked the truth, she couldn't help falling in love with each other, an angel fell in love with a demon, and the demon was going to go to the light, and the only way was to destroy the evil thoughts in her heart.
Gao Xuan finally walked into the "trap" set by himself, and the moment when the demon finally said I love you, the story finally came to a perfect end.
There will always be a subtle love-hate entanglement behind suspense dramas, if the audience knows this, would they still be willing to open Pandora's box? The truth is often very complicated, just like the human heart, if the world is black and white, then how much pain we will have, if there is no gray area, then how much experience we will lose, maybe we will never understand the meaning of life.
