Audiences who like to watch dramas, used to be worried about the drama shortage, but now there are too many good works to catch up, because since entering 2023, all kinds of big dramas can be described as one after another, for example, "Long Moon Ember Ming" has just ended, and the same type of "Heart Protection" is officially online. At present, there is another film and television drama "Undercover Police Flower" on the air, which makes people overwhelmed.
"Undercover Police Flower" is a criminal investigation drama directed by well-known actor Gao Yalin, starring Zou Yuanqing, Lu Nuo, Huang Junpeng, Tian Xiaojie, Wang Haiyan, Dong Yong, Martin, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Zhijian and others cameo, there is no lack of strength, but also old drama bones.
With such a cast, it is difficult not to become a blockbuster.
It's a pity that only 2 episodes have been broadcast, and there is a bad review, and no amount of old drama bones can save the reputation of this drama.
The story is old-fashioned
"Crazy" at the beginning of the year is also a criminal investigation drama, and it is not much wrong compared with the cast of this show, but after watching 2 episodes in one breath, you will feel that the two works are no different, because the so-called "Undercover Police Flower" is still stuck at the production level of four or five years ago, especially the plot is too old-fashioned.
Just by looking at the title of the play, you know that "Undercover Police Flower" is the story of a female criminal police officer who broke into the underworld forces, while secretly sabotaging the plans of the underworld forces, and uniting with the superior to bring the lawbreakers to justice.
Viewers familiar with Zhang Yishan's work may already be aware of this.
This "Undercover Police Flower" seems to be quite similar to Zhang Yishan's residual crime. The heroine Xia Hairong, like Yu Sin, is a little bohemian, neither obeying discipline nor taking the usual path, and also relying on saving the life of the drug lord, successfully penetrated the enemy and occupied a vital position.
In short, the play wants to replicate the success of "Residual Sin", but it does not have the scale of "Residual Sin", and it is not comparable to "Crazy".
The character setting is not pleasant
Xia Hairong is played by Zou Yuanqing, the daughter of the well-known actor Yan Ni, who previously starred in the role of Ma Dehua in the high-scoring Douban masterpiece "Mountains and Seas", although the scenes are not particularly numerous, but the performance is extremely outstanding, making people remember her firmly.
After "Mountains and Seas", Zou Yuanqing also took over the filming of "When the Wind Rises" and "Breakout", and recently in "Grandma's New World" led by Yan Ni, he can be described as a very potential actor.
This time, Zou Yuanqing played the heroine Xia Hairong of "Undercover Police Flower", and her acting skills are there, and there is no ambiguity at all against old drama bones such as Tian Xiaojie and Du Zhiguo.
But the character setting of the heroine Xia Hairong of this play is really unpleasant, and she simply does not look like the staff in the system. Even if the traffic captain gave her orders directly, she did not listen, which was simply synonymous with going her own way.
The plot logic is confusing
After patiently watching the first episode, many people have such a doubt.
That is, the drug lord has clearly determined that Duan Shiqiang next to the black bear is an undercover agent sent by the criminal police, why did he send his subordinates to die.
In addition, the trailer for the third episode is even more confusing.
As we all know, Duan Shiqiang could have captured "Uncle Mi" alive, but it was because Xia Hairong made trouble from it that his entire two-year undercover plan failed.
Therefore, when Duan Shiqiang saw Xia Hairong again, he should be incompatible with her, but Duan Shiqiang unexpectedly wanted to train Xia Hairong into an excellent criminal policeman and let him break into the enemy again instead of himself.
I have to say that this plot is simply too pompous.
To sum up, "Undercover Police Flower" has only aired two episodes and has a bad review, even if the drama is like a cloud, the reputation is not saved.
