Implanted prosthetic body, mother seriously ill, genius girl (year), high-tech low life, veterans, chaebol struggle, high-concept technology, looking at these words, four words should appear in your mind: cyberpunk.
That's right, this is the core theme of the new drama "Edge World" led by Nolandi, oh, there are really many cyberpunk themes recently, there is "Edge Walker" in September, "Edge World" in October, why are they all so marginal, is there any core content? ：P。 The story of cyberpunk itself is very marginal, and the cyberpunk worldview is marginal except for big capital.
"Edge World" shoots the cyberpunk theme very restrained and realistic. Unlike most cyber-themes, the neon billboard + geisha + floating car with red and blue light + oriental smell, it focuses more on the story and narrative itself, pulling the audience's attention from brilliant colors back to serious narratives.
We can look at the future in "Edge World", whether it is full of classical temperament:
Of course, the gloom and darkness that belongs to the cyberworld has not been lost.
The surreal sci-fi elements are also designed with extreme restraint, and there are two of the most surreal designs that appear in the 2 episodes so far:
One is a manipulator, which directly removes the skin of the hand during the battle, revealing the full manipulator.
There are also prosthetic bodies implanted throughout the body.
Others are like the Mewtwo helmet connector
Sonar qigong gun
Invisible Audi car
It's all conventional design, not hustle and bustle, but rather adding some brightness to the story.
The story of "Edge World" is more traditional, or the kind of genius against the chaebol and fight against fate, winning in the interesting personality, all IQ online (currently), and the fast-paced story advances.
Let me briefly review the story of one or two episodes:
The story is divided into two timelines:
London in 2099 and America in 2032
Our protagonists are a pair of siblings who live in a remote white house with their mother, who has a strange illness.
(Opening to give clues, brother is a veteran)
(My sister is a good-looking leg...) ）
(The housekeepers...) ）
(Ha... Super Killer)
(Retired brother, the image of an abandoned house who makes money by playing games)
(The old brother plays very well, and the younger sister is a genius player, so I ask my sister to play on my behalf)
(In the first ten minutes, enter the first action scene)
(After helping my brother finish the game, I have to ride a motorcycle far to work, don't you complain about your sister?) ）
(After finishing and returning home, my brother received a job in the game beta, and I can earn a large amount of money by accessing, enough for several months of living expenses, but my brother is afraid that the game technology skills are not good, so I still have to take my sister.) ）
(After receiving the kidnapping task of the girl after going online, the second action scene began, and I thought it was a game task)
(PLAYED VERY HIGH)
(The second time I entered the game, I found out that it was wrong, this female employer actually wanted to scan her sister's eyes in such a Cthulhu!) I also encountered NPCs with superb combat effectiveness.
(The world's invincible NPCs actually said to find out where they came in, which is quite wrong)
The next day, my sister received a danger warning, actually from London in 2099, which basically broke the first suspense by this time, and they accessed 2099, not a game
At the same time, a group of killers also rushed to the town, and danger came quietly
(Episode 2)
As a veteran, my brother listened to his sister and saw that there was really danger and could not sit still, so he fought fiercely, completely annihilated the enemy, and his combat effectiveness was one and the same
(Two forces in this play appear, one is the doctor in black, and the other is the beard gold lord)
(The younger sister was invited by Brother Hei to connect online again and began to explain the setting)
I don't understand what quantum tunneling is, but the basic concept is that my sister just connected her consciousness to a container in London in 2099, and people did not travel through the past, like a doll.
Lao Hei came to lend a hand, and it was impossible to protect their family and treat her mother's illness without any purpose.
Generally, those who make big shots and are inexplicable have big calculations behind them.
So I met with the bearded gold lord and talked about wanting to use my sister to find someone, it seems that there is something wrong with the place where my sister broke through before, and the beard gold lord and his gang want to find a woman who broke through with her.
But since my sister is at the negotiating table, she is not a lamb at the mercy of others, she said, first cure her mother, and then everyone will talk.
The relationship between Lao Hei and the bearded gold owner does not seem to be very stable, everyone has their own ghosts, but the game has not yet begun, and the prologue has just begun.
The forces of all sides are only showing up the image, what is the core competition, can only wait for the follow-up story to unfold for us, the first episode and the second episode will tell the setting of 7788, the follow-up development is worth looking forward to.
Let's provide a detailed analysis and other follow-up stories when they come out.
Overall, "Edge World" is still a drama worth chasing, of course, it may be a little far from the recent "Ange", after watching the fantasy masterpieces "Dragon House" and "Hercules Ring", looking at the original cyberpunk science fiction works is also a kind of adjustment.
So, let's talk next week~
