Recently, the brain hole index of the screen has increased significantly, and a large number of works that subvert the time-space setting of the real world have poured into modern dramas, which are either time loops, or back in time, or time and space fusion, or parallel time and space. "Dark Clouds Meet the Bright Moon" is called the "cruise version of "The Beginning", "My Secret Roommate" staged the story of "living together in time and space", and "My Villain Boyfriend" is a "book wear" setting.
This year, in addition to "The Beginning", there is also a campus youth drama "Twinkle and Twinkle Star" to save through a time loop; "Don't Fall in Love with the Boss" returns from the age of 28 to the age of 18, crossing from the workplace to the campus; "The Basic Law of Genius" tells the story of mathematical genius Lin Zhaosheng and his daughter Lin Chaoxi and high-IQ teenager Pei Zhi to find themselves in mathematical reasoning and dual-space-time interaction, which is a dual-space-time growth inspirational drama. These dramas are titled "high concept" and "infinite stream", which can actually be classified as modern fantasy dramas.
"Forgotten Time" starring Lan Yingying and Fan Chengcheng also gained a good reputation some time ago, and this drama tells a story of "love for will". In a mysterious hut, the protagonists Wu Hao and Lu Xiaofan exchange wishes through feelings, and reunite again after losing emotional memories about each other, unfolding a fantasy story of old love and new love.
In modern fantasy dramas, the main focus is the composite genre of "suspense + love". When people's tolerance for sweet pets and sadomasochism is getting higher and higher, the novel settings in modern fantasy dramas will bring great attraction to the audience, increasing the degree of plot reversal and the intensity of love. From "Want to See You" to "The Beginning", there is no shortage of explosive modern fantasy dramas. However, this theme also relies too much on the concept of "time travel", which makes many works have the problem of similarity and déjà vu.
The 2003 TV series "Pawnshop No. 8" and 2014's "Soul Ferry" can be regarded as earlier modern fantasy dramas, they all pay more attention to suspense and fantasy factors, and they do not necessarily have to be linked to love. In addition to "time travel", modern fantasy dramas have a lot of room for expansion, such as last year's "Siten" fire, in which the setting of mysterious alien races shows differences.
There are also some templates for overseas dramas that can be used as references. For example, Korean dramas have many innovations in modern fantasy themes, such as the earlier "You from the Star", "The Legend of the Blue Sea", "Lonely and Brilliant God-Ghost", "W-Two Worlds", etc., are representative works of modern fantasy dramas. There is also "Dazzling" broadcast in recent years, which tells a reverse story of Zhuang Zhou Mengdi: the young heroine picked up a magic watch, and flipping the dial can turn back time, but she wanted to go back in time to correct the mistakes she had made, but accelerated her aging, and finally found that in reality she was actually an elderly person and suffered from Alzheimer's disease; The hero and heroine of "Inner Beauty" are marginal figures in society, the heroine has a strange disease of "metamorphosis", and for about a week every month, her appearance will change bizarrely, and she may become a big man, a primary school student, an old man, a young guy... The troubles and psychological loneliness brought about by strange diseases make her unable and afraid to maintain stable relationships with others. The male protagonist suffers from face recognition impairment and is completely face blind, but he can recognize the heroine at a glance; "Hello Mom, Goodbye! Give the departed a 49-day chance to be reborn, how to find their place in the real world? And how to heal a loved one who has lost a loved one?
Compared with fantasy, the value of modern fantasy dramas is the key to the success of works. Under the shell of a suspenseful love story, "Want to See You" establishes the proposition of adolescent self-identity, "The Beginning" explores the morality between the ego and the big self, showing the diversity of the world, the warmth and warmth of human feelings, and "My Babylon Lover" also contains an inspirational story of personal growth. "Crossfire" broadcast in 2020 is a rare two-male lead drama in the modern fantasy genre, focusing on youth and inspiration, it tells the story of Xiao Feng in 2008 and Lu Xiaobei in 2019 who met across time and space in a game map, the two from mutual suspicion to mutual trust, mutual support, each formed a team, studied tactics and helped each other grow, and finally achieved a headwind in their respective time and space with the spirit of not admitting defeat.
