I haven't seen such a relieved Chinese drama for a long time:
Airline leaders lined up to apologize for the massive accident that killed and injured more than a dozen people.
At this time, a black figure suddenly broke in, and the big wavy curls spread murderous aura in the air.
Without waiting for the scene to react, the woman shouted:
Who is the boss!
Then luck dantian, turn on the god-killing mode:
Mr. Chen? One punch.
Mr. Zhang? Another punch.
Eh, Chairman, where are you going?
However, dissolution is dissolution of qi.
Back to reality, the grandfather, who was unconscious due to the accident, still did not get compensation from the airline, and the unfortunate family was still evicted from the rental house by the landlord.
The big wave that had just been flaunting was wet with tears in front of the hospital bed in a blink of an eye.
From rage to coldness.
If it wasn't Sir telling you.
Do you dare to believe that this is the beginning of a Chinese "idol drama":
Bad obsession clearer
Produced by iQiyi International Edition, this new Taiwan drama is indeed wearing the shell of an "idol".
The male protagonist Zeng Jinghua, "The Name Engraved in Your Heart" made a name, a face that looks like Yang Yang but is less greasy;
male second Peng Qianyou, Xu Guanghan's brother and lover in "Guilty Dreamer", has staged large-scale dramas comparable to GV;
The heroine Song Yunhua eats all over the world with "My Girlhood".
Even the male protagonist mother and unit supporting roles with no status are also played by coffee positions like Yang Jinhua and Zheng Yuanchang.
The coffee position said otherwise, and the appearance must be guaranteed.
But in terms of quality, it is by no means a "vase".
At the end of April, two new Chinese-language dramas were launched, and Sir watched that they were qualified to compete for the good drama of the year.
One from the mainland, "The Long Season".
The other is this "Bad Obsession Cleaner" from Taiwan.
In the past few days, it has been occupying the top two hot places on Douban.
- And both dramas are gaining points.
In order of going online, Sir will talk about the latter today (rest assured that he will write it).
If "The Long Season" next door is to let the camera take us into a familiar and special era, looking for the echo of fate.
Then, "Clearer" is stationed in the present:
Fate is impermanent, how can we solve our worries?
01
Sir hesitated several times while watching the play.
What the hell is this drama?
Let's say it's an idol drama, but it's not too mainstream.
Pu Yiyong (played by Zeng Jinghua), a high school bully scumbag.
His usual hobby is bullying good students, that is, the second male of this play, Cao Guangyan (played by Peng Qianyou).
A crazy drag cool.
One is delicate and soft.
The attributes are clear, and the hint is quickly called on the audience's face.
Let's say it's a fantasy drama, and the scale is a bit big.
Xiaopu originally had a happy family, his parents were loving, and his grandfather was alive.
Although he did not study well, Xiaopu's grandfather was a master of calligraphy, and he learned a good hand of writing since he was a child.
Xiaopu didn't just learn calligraphy from his grandfather.
For more than ten years, he has occasionally seen the "dirty things" that appear around his grandfather.
You might guess that Grandpa has secrets.
But before Xiaopu could find out, the family was hit by a sudden air crash.
My father died of his injuries, his grandfather fell ill, and Xiaopu lay down for two years before waking up.
Escape?
Oh, as soon as I woke up, the nightmare had just begun.
The parallel lines of fate also become hybrid rice at this moment, as if to turn on some kind of mysterious switch:
A car accident occurred on a viaduct.
The driver was killed, and the whole person was hit to pieces.
Dead people are nothing unusual.
But at night, some mysterious force begins to awaken.
The stump and corpse were not only pulled and stitched together by invisible silk threads like the movie "Silk", this Frankenstein-like monster also had a short life force.
But what is this about Xiaopu?
Witness the magical moment has arrived...

The "corpse" came from far away and flashed into his bedroom.
So this TM is a horror drama?!
Looking at it, it's not quite.
The reason for this strange phenomenon is that the grandfather is lying unconscious in the hospital, and the ghost has no place to go before, so he comes to look for his grandson who is connected by blood.
Thus, an entanglement between people and ghosts, monsters and even illusions begins.
02
A freshly baked comment from Douban:
"There is "Pawnshop No. 8" in the front, and "The Clearer" in the back."
In fact, this drama not only has the shadow of the predecessors of Taiwanese dramas, but also reminds people of Hong Kong dramas such as "Golden Night Mansion" and "The Cleaner", continuing the human touch of Hong Kong films and remembering an era through lonely souls and wild ghosts.
But there are subtle differences.
Formally, Wanwan's drama matches the accent, and in the absence of horror sound effects, even the supernatural theme has a cynical natural joy.
It's about life and death, this drama not only does not give you the kind of chicken soup literature that "the deceased has died".
Contrary.
Life and death here, on the contrary, can be used to ridicule, complain about the market topic, and even bring a little romantic imagination of ordinary people.
Take an example.
The second male Cao Guangyan entered medical school after graduation.
He found that there was a magical corpse stored in the classroom all year round, that is, the "general teacher" who practiced his hands for students in colleges and universities.
Usually, the teachers are generally those volunteers who have confirmed their donation before they die.
But only this general teacher has no name or surname, and his entire net worth only has a label of "sudden death".
It's not just the origin of identity that's a mystery.
Compared with other "peers", this teacher is so miraculous that it has its own repair function, and the scalpel edge can heal automatically.
On his back, there is also a picture of a lady who is incompatible with modern society.
A mysterious woman sits under a magnolia tree, throwing flowers and smiling.
Take a closer look:
Even though the body was decomposed elsewhere, the tattoo was not damaged in the slightest.
What's the story here?
Don't worry, wait for her to tell you herself.
The lady on Vin's body came to life.
And not only lived, like "Immortal in the Painting" turned into a spirit body to reappear in the world, but also like other ghosts, came all the way to find Xiaopu, hoping that he could help him.
But with a tattoo, how to find the unknown source of the corpse that has been hidden in the snow for several years?
Of course, the protagonist you thought of at the beginning also came to mind.
Follow the diagram.
Ordinary people don't know that tattoo, there are always tattoo masters who will.
What are the requirements?
It turned out that the man broke into the tattoo shop a few years ago and asked for a tattoo on his back.
This thorn is not only a large area of portraits that will be difficult to wash for life.
He didn't even know the woman in the painting at all, and the pattern was just a finger.
It stands to reason that an adult who does tattoos is either a hobby or an unruly personality.
But what about this man.
Before his death, ordinary social animals, clocking in at work, having dinner after work, his personality was particularly restrained, and he was never in the limelight.
In my spare time, I run to care for the homeless and warm up for those on the margins of society.
- It's so pure that it can't be more pure.
How did he die?
After being ostracized and fired by the company, he died suddenly on a rainy night.
He held the quilt he was going to give to the homeless man and fell halfway down.
Even though it hurt, he insisted on not moaning, only cried out to his mother twice, and then swallowed his last breath.
In addition to the tattoo on the back.
His existence and departure are so similar that they are so quiet that no one knows it.
At this time, the answer to the puzzle was finally revealed.
Why would such an introverted person suddenly want to get a tattoo?
He just wanted someone to be with him.
A detail.
When he took a fancy to the picture of a lady, he asked his boss to change it.
It's not to be more beautiful.
It's changed to be more mundane and real.
This is also the reason why "The Purifier" is not like a "fantasy drama":
It never wants to take you all over the world.
But I just want to take you through the hidden forest in the corner of the human heart.
He is indeed looking for a "partner" for himself.
On weekdays, he also talks and chats with the woman on his back.
Over time, the lady also had a sense.
Although she didn't know what her back-to-back lover looked like and what her name was for so many years.
But she has been staying with the man for too long and has become his "spirit behind it".
Day and night, dependent on each other.
Even if they have never seen each other, they love each other for life.
End of story.
The lady got the name of the lover, was satisfied, and disappeared; And the cold corpse was also registered because it had a name.
The medical students bowed to him in unison:
"Thank you to the general teacher".
"The Purifier" does not taboo death.
Because in the eyes of ghosts - death is nothing else, just the transit of life.

Sir found that our national dramas rarely talk about "death".
But in the past, our understanding of death has changed dramatically.
Last year's "Life Events" starring Zhu Yilong let us face the serious proposition of death, and got a long-lost catharsis.
But human beings face death much more than a gesture of remembrance.
In the context of Chinese society.
Because of traditional customs, we are always attracted to supernatural themes.
Those bizarre and strange stories can always poke a certain weakness in the heart that is most curious and anxious, creating fantasy and spiritual sustenance for the audience that are always unattainable in reality.
It's like the popular "Pawnshop No. 8" that year.
Many people are delusional about exchanging a portion of themselves for worldly success.
In fact, it is about death, writing about the endless desires in life.
Look a little further.
Those film history directors have a sharp eye on death.
Tsui Hark rewrites folklore and uses the death of a pair of bitter mandarin ducks to reflect an entire era of cannibalism.
This is "Liang Zhu".
In the background of religious trickery, Chen Guofu uses a bizarre murder as an incision to explore the depression and madness belonging to a nation.
This is the pinnacle of Chinese horror films "Double Eyes".
In addition to ridiculing Hollywood, Stephen Chow combines ghosts and ghosts and horses, laughing and fighting against the absurdity and numbness in reality.
This is the "Back to the Soul Night" that we watch repeatedly.
Even Disney, which is often known for family fun, once brushed our circle of friends with a line related to "death".
"It is said that there are three deaths of people. The first time is death in the physical sense, the second time is death in the legal sense, and the last time is when everyone forgets you, then you disappear from this world completely. ”
If in the world of the living, no one remembers you
You will disappear from this world
We call this ultimate death
And now, these meaningful deaths.
Most of them were engulfed in the immortal ascension and the fairy world of the four seas.
Back to The Clearer.
It has been published in six episodes and tells three stories.
First, the river god in the water borrowed the corpse to return the soul, praying for his true body;
the second, the nameless man and the flesh woman, warming each other;
the third, the father who lost his son abducted other children to relieve the pain of longing;
What do they have in common?
The statue of the god is the sustenance of people to ask for rain; The body is the deceased's claim to concealment; Tattoos are the emotional connection between men and women; Signposts are a guide to the affection of father and son...
Every person, every soul.
In this era that no longer accommodates alienation and failure.
They are all forced to desperately use foreign objects to find an outlet for salvation for themselves and each other.
It's not talking about death.
It's about being alive.
It is all sentient beings, it is the impermanence of fate, and it is also those humble but lovely willful actions.
