On April 22, the official announcement of the TV series "You Saved 10,000 Times" was finalized, and from May 1, iQiyi and Tencent Video premiered. Starring young actors such as Bai Ke and Zhang Yaqin, this TV series tells the story of male bosses and female employees caught in an infinite cycle. The drama is remade from the Korean drama "My Boss Dies Once a Day". This Korean drama work is adapted from the Korean manga work of the same name.
The Korean drama "My Boss Dies Once a Day" starred Jiang Zhiyan and Baek Jin-hee, and premiered in 2018, when the audience rating was 7.8 points, which belonged to the Korean drama works with relatively good audience ratings. This work focuses on the fantasy elements of the infinite cycle of time, and the workplace love story of the male and female protagonists in this cycle. Korean dramas have their own unique features in terms of love content, and can find the things that the audience needs on many subtle emotional points. Fantasy and love make the broadcast results of this TV series relatively good.
Our domestic "Saved You Ten Thousand Times" is a remake based on Korean dramas. As of now, this TV series has a plot synopsis announced, you may wish to take a peek:
Poisonous tongue narcissistic boss Bai Truth often because of the resentment of employees lead to insufficient balance of life, all kinds of fancy deaths, each death, time will be reset on the same day, which leads to his employee Li Luduo trapped in the time loop, become a person who can not go out of today and has no tomorrow, in order to jump out of the time loop, Li Luduo has to save him again and again, change him, until finally falling in love with him.
The young actor Bai Ke is relatively well-known and has a certain fan base among the audience. And the heroine of this TV series, Zhang Yaqin, belongs to the film and television drama just now. Only from the cast point of view, "You Saved Ten Thousand Times" is not a drama of great battles. However, it is often this kind of TV series whose actor's popularity is not a first-line one, and it will suddenly become the object of pursuit of the audience because of the story or the quality of the play itself. On the contrary, many TV series starring high-traffic and well-known superstars are easy to fall into the word-of-mouth Waterloo.
The biggest "enemy" of "You Who Saved Ten Thousand Times" at present should be the Korean drama "My Boss Dies Once a Day". Korean dramas in the grasp of love scenes, can always achieve the level of young female audiences to ripple in their hearts. For our remake, this is the most difficult to do. To put it bluntly, it is still a lot of picture details and performance details. Many of our TV dramas like thick branches, and our Korean counterparts often like to be "more and more refined" in the small places. If you chase the drama with the mentality of comparing with Korean dramas, you may be disappointed at many "points".
At the same time, how to adapt a Korean workplace drama into a TV series suitable for the real environment of the Chinese workplace also tests the wisdom of the screenwriter. In this Korean drama work, in this fantasy story of this time cycle, the reason why Korean drama fans can believe is because the workplace scene in this fantasy story still relies on the real environment of the Korean workplace. For our remake drama, how to transform the real environment of the Chinese workplace is obviously a more important point and one of the difficulties. A simple story remake is, of course, easy, but it is not easy to make this workplace story stand up for its sense of reality.
"Saved You Ten Thousand Times" This TV series, based on the content of several current trailers, it goes in addition to fantasy and workplace viewing style, there are many comedic elements in it. Under this fantasy style, it is handled in a comedic and humorous way, but it is what young actors and white guests are good at. The advantage of the comedy element is that the audience no longer investigates the authenticity of the story, but pays more attention to the story's point of view, hilarious attributes and so on. In this way, the whole TV series is more easily accepted by everyone.
Judging from the schedule situation, in the next period of time, although there are some large-scale workplace dramas to be broadcast, such fantasy and hilarious workplace dramas are rare. If the audience watches this workplace fantasy light comedy for the purpose of decompression, it may have a better effect. On the one hand is fantasy, on the other side is love, and there are all kinds of hilarious bridges in it, this work is not lacking in commercial points. Based on this, I hope that the drama can become a blockbuster TV series in the May Day period. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
