Recently, the suspense drama "Who is the murderer" has been popular, and netizens have mixed reviews, some feel that it is a rare good drama, while some feel that it is full of logical loopholes and is not worth watching.
After watching the play, I felt that although there were some plot bugs, the whole process was full of suspense, the actors' acting skills were online, and the theme was also profound, as a suspense drama, it was already relatively successful.
"Who's the Murderer" revolves around a serial murder case of tailing into the house, telling the story of Leng Xiaobing (Xiao Yang), the leader of the serious crime team, Xia Mu (Dong Zijian), an eyewitness at the scene of the crime, and Shen Yu (Zhao Liying), a psychologist, each carrying an untold secret.
The three main actors in the play performed well and stood the role steadily, and the most impressive one to me was Shen Yu, played by Zhao Liying.
The role of Shen Yu is quite complicated, she was born when her mother died in childbirth, and she was raised by her father Shen Haiyang (Li Qiang) alone, from Xiaoice Xue is smart and has excellent grades.
Although she grew up in a single-parent family, Shen Yu never lacked love, Shen Haiyang was very good to her, she was also very filial to Shen Haiyang, and the father and daughter had lived together for more than ten years.
However, all happiness collapsed abruptly in Shen Yu's junior high school, and there was a serial murder case in the local area, and all the characteristics of the murderer held by the police pointed to Shen Haiyang.
Shen Yu was worried in her heart, she did not believe that Shen Haiyang was the murderer, but when she returned home, she found that Shen Haiyang was missing, and then received two letters written by Shen Haiyang, which asked her to erase all traces of him in his home and office.
Shen Yu hesitated and wanted to call the police, but he couldn't personally report his father, and finally retreated. After that, she wiped away the traces left by Shen Haiyang one by one according to the letter.
Seventeen years later, Shen Yu became a psychologist, and when the case reopened that year, she stepped into the abyss of crime in order to protect Shen Haiyang.
The reason why Shen Yu's role setting is complicated is mainly because she is an innocent person in the whole case, and she is very good in herself, with a high IQ, calm and thoughtful.
She should have had a great future, but because her father was involved in the murder, she has been under tremendous psychological pressure for many years, so that she has become a little crazy, and even in order to protect her father, she will not hesitate to hurt others and gradually embark on the road of no return.
In the play, Shen Yu is very calm no matter what he does.
Taking advantage of Natsuki's illness to dump him; witnessing the death of a patient who depends on him, but still dealing with the scene very calmly; investigating Natsuki by any means; guiding a patient who resembles his father into madness, thus making him feel that he is a murderer, in order to clear his father's suspicions...
If Shen Yu was innocent seventeen years ago, then seventeen years later, when she did these things, she was no longer innocent. In particular, she used her profession to hurt patients who believed in her, making them more and more crazy, and in a way, it was no different from killing people.
From a smart and excellent junior high school student seventeen years ago to a crazy and sick psychiatrist later, Shen Yu forced himself to a dead end step by step. After watching the first ten episodes, I really sighed at her encounters, regretted her talents, looked forward to her return, and did not know what her final outcome would be.
In addition, I have to say that Zhao Liying interpreted the role of Shen Yu very well, her appearance is pure, and almost all the roles she played before were positive, but she did not expect that this time she played a crazy batch of beauty, and the effect was unexpectedly good.
When Zhao Liying stood up to that harmless face of people and animals, but calmly and calmly did what she could do, I got goosebumps.
There is a scene in the play that impressed me, Cao Yingxia (played by Liu Lin) killed her husband Wu Ming and then turned herself in at the police station, Leng Xiaobing and Xia Mu read the text message sent to her by Wu Ming, suspected that Wu Ming mentally abused Cao Yingxia, and wanted to fight for a commutation of her sentence.
However, Cao Yingxia's mental state was very bad and he could not provide testimony, so the two asked Shen Yu to help Cao Yingxia with psychological counseling.
After Shen Yu entered the interrogation room, he directly hit Cao Yingxia's mobile phone, when the mobile phone vibrated, Cao Yingxia instantly had a mental breakdown, and everyone present, including Leng Xiaobing, couldn't bear it, only Shen Yu smiled and said: "You see, this is the conditioned reflex." ”
When Zhao Liying performed this scene, she acted very casually, but the more casual this state, the more creepy it was.
There are many similar scenes in the play, such as confronting Xia Mu in the elevator, lying about Xia Mu's psychologist's words, guiding the patient He Weiguang (Hao Ping) to go crazy, etc., these scenes are well interpreted by Zhao Liying, and Shen Yu's indifference and pathology are vividly displayed.
To tell the truth, before I saw this drama, I never imagined that Zhao Liying would play a role like Shen Yu, and I didn't expect her to play a good role, after all, an actress like her will not easily play an evil woman.
It can only be said that for the transformation, Zhao Liying is serious.
Compared with the other 85 flowers, Zhao Liying's red came a little later, and she was 28 years old when she starred in "Flowers and Bones".
However, Zhao Liying did not panic because of this, but walked step by step and steadily.
After "Flowers and Bones", Zhao Liying has starred in blockbuster dramas such as "Old Nine Doors", "Qingyunzhi", "Chu Qiao Biography" and so on, laying the foundation for her status as a rating queen.
Perhaps because the road to popularity is extremely difficult, Zhao Liying has always been very sober, she understands that actresses cannot always act in idol dramas, so she began to prepare for the transformation.
In 2018, Zhao Liying starred in the large-scale costume drama "Do You Know If It Should Be Green Fat Red Skinny", although this drama is not a pure drama, it is also different from the general idol drama, well-made, strong historical atmosphere, and once broadcast, it is loved by the majority of audiences.
With her performance in the play, Zhao Liying proved to the public that she can not only act in idol dramas, but also carry the right drama, and the effect is still very good.
The first step on the road of transformation, Zhao Liying has been very successful, which is already quite difficult for idol actors.
However, the transformation of idol school is not an easy task, not only rely on a drama can be successful, and then Zhao Liying while acting while looking for opportunities for transformation, took over the character series of short drama "Ideal Shines in China".
This time she starred in Shen Yu in "Who is the Murderer", obviously for the sake of transformation, and it has now been proved that she did the right choice, and many viewers have seen her strength.
Although the successful interpretation of Shen Yu's role cannot make Zhao Liying completely transformed, she took another step forward on the road of transformation and won very beautifully.
And her transformation road, obviously will not stop here, she starred in the "Happiness to Ten Thousand Families" has been completed, the network will soon meet with the audience, then may become a crucial step on her transformation road.
