"The Year of The Fallen Stream" is a costume emotional inspirational drama starring Xing Fei, Zhai Zilu and Jing Chao. The most attractive highlight of the play is "the heroine's rebirth and revenge". This used to be a common setting in the network text, and it is not easy to see on the TV series, it is still quite fresh.
The plot is not complicated, the first three episodes of the show are about the "past life" of the heroine, the heroine Lu Anran (played by Xing Fei), originally a "strong woman" who is in charge of the world's river transport. As a result, because he married Mu Ze (played by Jing Chao), the king of Qing, the ending was very tragic.
After King Qing became emperor, in order to consolidate the throne, he sacrificed the son born to himself and Lu Xinran, and finally used the Lu family, and also cut off the Lu family. Lu gladly learned that her husband, who had been sleeping in the same bed for ten years, turned out to be so cruel in his true face that he eventually set himself on fire with hatred.
After the "rebirth", Lu Anran returned to ten years ago, and everything could be re-chosen, so she chose to open the "revenge mode". Because she carried the memory of "past life", she successfully avoided all the "traps" and won the Lu family's "house fight", not only successfully saved her mother, but also "killed" the bad heart aunt Liu Mingyu, and also took the same bad heart sister as her "stand-in" and designed to marry The Qing King Mu Ze.
As a "rebirth stream", when the heroine is just reborn, it is the time when the audience is most relieved. After all, the heroine's rebirth is like reading the script, and can successfully avoid various "routines". You can also dig a "pit" before the villains are damaged, and wait for them to fall in. However, the "plug-in" of the heroine is OK to deal with some small people, but it has no effect on King Muze.
After all, after the rebirth, the heroine's IQ has not improved, and it is still difficult to compete with an "emperor" who is extremely deep in the city government. Coupled with the heroine's "official match" in this world, the ninth prince Mu Chuan (played by Zhai Zilu), is a male version of "silly white sweet", not to mention helping the heroine, not to drag the heroine's hind legs, thank God. The struggle between the royal families is not something that a "silly white and sweet" prince can stop, but king Qing has brought down the former emperor (father).
This really can't blame some viewers, not to bump the "official match", bump Lu Anran and Qing Wang," the "past life CP". After all, the affectionate male protagonist of the Ninth Prince has long been seen a lot. Personally, I am also more inclined to watch the heroine and the King of Qing "fight wits and courage", rather than watching the heroine who carries the hatred of the door to talk to a "silly white sweet" male protagonist and talk about love.
The reason why the screenwriter let the heroine be reborn with memory is in addition to allowing the heroine to facilitate revenge. More because if the heroine loses her memory, she may repeat the same mistakes and like the King of Qing again, saying that since ancient times, "deep affection cannot be retained, and the routine wins the hearts of the people."
Here is a reference to the sadomasochistic love of "East Palace", Qu Xiaofeng lost his memory and fell in love with Li Chengyin again. It's just that the male protagonist of "East Palace" is not so desperate. Qing Wang of "The Year of the Fallen Stream" really pushed the villain role to a more brutal level.
The most successful place in the casting of "The Year of The Fallen Stream" is to let Jing Chao play the King of Qing, because Jing Chao is really too suitable for playing the "belly black" emperor. The Qingwang he played in "The Year of the Fallen Stream" is full of surprises, switching between affection and cold blood, and can perform two different feelings. Sometimes I know that he is a big villain, but I still can't help but like some of his moments, such as the heroine's "past life" and many moments with him, it is still quite sweet.
Speaking of the human setting of the belly black emperor, we have to mention that Fu Chip, played by Jing Chao in "White Hair", is also a black belly, and the same use of the heroine Rong Le, but in "White Hair", Fu Chip also has love for the heroine.
However, in "The Year of The Fallen Stream", King Qing, played by Jing Chao, is more rational and cold-blooded, and more adept at disguise. After all, the heroine had lived with him for a whole decade in her previous life, and had not discovered his disguise, which was so terrifying.
In short, judging from the current dozen episodes, even if the heroine is reborn, she is invincible to King Qing. Not to mention, King Qing also had a more sinister and cunning military master Cai Wangjin by his side. If in the end, the heroine can successfully take revenge, it is estimated that the screenwriter will forcibly demote Qingwang, or let Qingwang be emotional.
