"The Pretender" is definitely one of the most classic spy war dramas in the past decade, this drama is very full from the protagonist to the supporting role, leaving a deep impression on the audience. After the end of this drama, there have always been netizens calling for a sequel, and after 7 years, "The Pretender 2 Deep Sea" is finally going to be broadcast. Unfortunately, the second part was not created by the original cast, the choreographer and actors were all changed, and the protagonist of the story was also changed from the Ming family brothers and sisters to Tang Bohao, the director of the Operations Department.
"The Pretender 2 Deep Sea" tells the story of Tang Bohao, the leader of the second detachment of the Wang Puppet Operations Department, who gradually discovered the corruption of the Wang puppet government and decided to join the Communist Party in the course of his mission. Tang Bohao discovered the conspiracy of the Wang puppet government during the operation, and at the same time underground party member Deng Yilin threw an olive branch to him, and after a period of observation, Tang Bohao realized that only the Communist Party could realize his revolutionary ambitions, so Tang Bohao abandoned the secret and turned to the light, and continued to lurk in the Wang puppet government under the code name "Deep Sea".
Liu Kaiwei plays the role of Tang Bohao in the play, a role somewhat similar to Jin Dong's Ming Lou in the first part, both are the kind of lurkers with multiple identities. Although Liu Kaiwei's popularity is not as high as Jin Dong's, the acting skills of the two are comparable, and Liu Kaiwei's performance has been excellent for so many years since his debut, and his starring works such as "Twilight Snow in a Thousand Mountains" and "Thousand Golden Thief" have received extremely high ratings and attention.
Liu Kaiwei's father Liu Dan is a well-known old drama bone, he became famous for playing the role of the villain Feng Jingyao in "Shanghai Beach", and then participated in Weng Meiling's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Andy Lau's version of "The Condor Heroes" and many other classic dramas, becoming a recognized "Hong Qigong" professional household. Although his father is famous, Liu Kaiwei has always relied on his own hard work since his debut, and has counterattacked all the way to the male protagonist from a small supporting role.
Playing opposite Liu Kaiwei is the powerful young actor Peng Guanying, and the temperaments of the two are actually somewhat similar, they are the kind of people who look very Sven. Although the crew has never officially announced the role played by Peng Guanying, a person familiar with the matter revealed that Peng Guanying played an underground party member codenamed "Pen" in the play. I can't see Peng Guanying playing the villain, in fact, most of the audience is still a little regretful, after all, he played the villain in "Under the Sun", which shocked many audiences.
In the first part of "The Pretender", a large number of impressive female characters appeared, Wang Manchun, who is a villain but has a deep affection for Ming Lou, Yu Manli, who was born poor but is dedicated to the sun, and Ming Jing, the head of the Ming family, are very well interpreted. Therefore, everyone is also looking forward to the emergence of such a distinctive female character in "Deep Sea".
When "Deep Sea" was still in preparation, many netizens nominated Zhang Xinyu to play the heroine, on the one hand, she has filmed many spy war dramas and has rich experience, and on the other hand, Zhang Xinyu is gorgeous, very similar to Wang Manchun's temperament played by Wang Ou. It's a pity that Zhang Xinyu did not participate, but went to endorse the greedy play Blue Moon, and many viewers speculated that it was a schedule conflict.
It was not until the successful completion of "Deep Sea" that the audience learned that the final candidate for the heroine was Li Feier, although everyone was not familiar with her, but her appearance and acting skills were still relatively satisfied. Do you think "The Deep" can continue the glory of "The Pretender"?
