The author recently watched a TV series that just finished a few months ago, content design, casting, etc., it is really full of slots!
This drama is, "Corner Love" broadcast by Oriental Satellite TV, with a Douban score of only 2.9 points!
In the play, the audience can see:
First, the strong woman who was still in the company in the previous episode became a housewife kneeling to her ex-husband in the next episode;
Second, Jiang Wenli, born in 66, is still in love in her 50s, and she pretends to be "pure" outrageous;
Third, the embarrassing plot to pick the feet, if there is no male and female protagonist in the world, the world will definitely be chaotic exaggerated plot design.
Netizens also did their best to complain about this drama.
Even if this drama is still being updated, everyone can't wait for it to disappear in place.
Coincidentally, the starring actors of this drama are still Jiang Wenli and Ming Dao, these two more powerful actors.
So what exactly did this show do wrong? Will it attract so many bad reviews?
Please listen to me in detail~
The four characters are not alike
Here is an explanation in advance, so that readers who have not seen this drama can also have a general understanding:
"Corner Love" focuses on sibling love, and the whole drama tells the story of a divorced male and female protagonist with a baby, who happened to rent a house and then pursued love together.
In the casting, the director chose Jiang Wenli, who is now 57 years old, as the female protagonist, and the 43-year-old Ming Dao as the male protagonist.
It's nothing here, after all, there have been successful cases of urban dramas in middle-aged love before, and the casting age is older, but your character design is really difficult to evaluate.
Jiang Wenli plays a woman who suffered from her husband's cheating and finally chose to divorce and pursue a career.
The character in the play is a proper career-oriented female domineering president.
Since she is a female president, of course, she should "kill and decide".
However, in order to highlight the "weak side of urban women", the whole drama painted a large part of her "down-and-out side".
In this drama, the heroine is sometimes depressed, sometimes restless, and brings emotions to work, resulting in serious mistakes in work.
Is this what a female bully should always look like? Even if you want to show "weakness", you should be designed to cry secretly at home, and be tough on the outside, which makes the audience look really awkward.
It's really hard to get people into the play.
Just to say, readers may not feel the "against the sky" of this drama, let's make a comparison of the same type of urban love drama.
Take "My First Half of Life", which was popular a few years ago.
In the play "My First Half of Life", Luo Zijun, played by Ma Yili, was a standard vase wife at the beginning, and when she faced her husband's cheating, she showed the weakness and helplessness of a full-time wife.
When Luo Zijun left her husband, she was very "young" at the beginning of her career, like a deer who first entered the forest farm, and finally became a brave person in the later stage of the play through various experiences.
Although there are still some unsatisfactory things in "My First Half of Life", the character curve has been outlined quite completely, and the audience can see a living character.
The overall character has not collapsed, let's take a look at "Love Around the Corner".
"Corner Love" is good, and it integrates the characteristics of a full-time wife and a strong woman in the workplace, and the integration is very bad.
As a result, there is a lot of inexplicable plots.
The heroine was in the workplace for a while, mercilessly talking about her employees, and then kneeling to her ex-husband in order to fight for the custody of her son.
Dare to ask a strong woman in the workplace will kneel to solve the problem?
Designed to go to a lawsuit, and then go through ups and downs, silently crying will definitely be much better than this.
There are still a lot of messy characters in the whole drama, and for a while I couldn't understand whether this drama wanted to take the route of female bosses and sweet pets, or take the setting of warm sibling love.
There are often cases where the plot is for the sake of the plot, and it is really difficult to evaluate!
Outrageous publicity, strange styling design
In addition to the strange personality, netizens also complained that the shape of this drama is too outdated.
This drama was completed in 2016, and it was broadcast after seven years, and the original set time was "Love Around the Corner" in October 2017.
However, for unknown reasons, the show was withdrawn and postponed to March 2020.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of 2020, Ming Dao had an accident, and in the middle of the year, he officially announced that he was married and had children.
So "Corner Love" was postponed again.
In March this year, the drama was finally going to be broadcast, and there was another problem with the publicity.
"Extremely loved" was beaten into "very loved"!
Such an obvious mistake can occur, makes me wonder if this is really 42 episodes, 45 minutes each, and still airing in prime time?
But that's forgivable.
It may be that this drama has been pressed for many years, and everyone is too anxious to immediately push it to the audience.
After that, the official poster underwent adjustments and finally looked presentable.
Oriental Satellite TV specially broadcast the first episode of "Corner Love" before the finale of "Crazy".
This choice seems wise, after all, the strong brother and sister-in-law in "Crazy" have circled a large wave of CP fans, and everyone says that it is still a middle-aged CP.
"Corner Love" interprets the love of middle-aged people, which should surely win the love of the audience.
Unexpectedly, the whole drama only aired to the third episode, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.
Even until this drama is about to finale, open Douban, still show "no rating".
Just the tidbits circulating on major short video platforms have attracted many netizens to "wail", and everyone said that it is difficult to understand the aesthetics of stylists.
Although she was nearly fifty years old when she appeared in this drama, she was naturally beautiful and well maintained.
But in this drama, almost every set of her clothes is accompanied by silk scarves that middle-aged and elderly women can't put down.
The stylist's obsession with silk scarves is just that, Jiang Wenli also made a middle-aged and elderly exclusive short hair, so that she stood with the role of the mother in the play, and the similar hairstyles of the two made it difficult to tell for a moment whether this is a mother and daughter, or sisters?
In order to highlight the charm of the heroine, the screenwriter arranged a male number two who fell in love with the heroine at first sight in the play.
The first time the male number two saw the female protagonist, he made an exaggerated "wow" mouth shape, at this time, the female protagonist came to a slow-motion look back, I don't know which door the director wants to show Mary Sue?
The female protagonist has a strange look, and the male protagonist is not much better.
Netizens commented that the male protagonist took off his shirt without saying a word.
To say that fresh meat with six-pack abs poses in front of the camera, it is also a little interesting.
But Ming Dao, born in 1980, was 33 years old when he starred in this play, and as soon as his shirt was taken off, the flesh on both sides of his waist couldn't wait to stand out, and the contradictory picture made the audience shout "spicy eyes"!
It's not that everyone discriminates against middle-aged people, it's just, since it tells a middle-aged love story, can the plot be grounded? There is a picture of the female protagonist falling into the arms of the male protagonist at every turn, what is the point of this?
In addition to inexplicably exposing the upper body, netizens also ridiculed that Ming Dao and Jiang Wenli have the same hairstyle and stand together like Haier brothers.
The plot is illogical
Of course, whether a drama is good or not, character modeling is not the point.
As long as the plot is good, even if the shape is spicy and the setting is a little flawed, it can be recognized by everyone.
But the plot of this drama can only be evaluated in one word - "embarrassing"!
In the play, the male and female protagonists are forced to live together because of the scam of selling one room and two sales.
In front of the police comrades, the two not only did not cooperate in solving the case, but frantically stirred their mouths.
I don't know what the screenwriter thought, but he arranged for the police comrade to come up with a nonsense line: "Anyway, you don't have a house, just under one roof..."
Yes?! This sentence directly to the audience to see stupid.
The plot behind is even more mysterious, two adults are deceived, not to mention the same hatred to find the liar, bring him to justice, but begin to fight with each other, completely without the determination to solve the problem.
In the next plot, the screenwriter arranged the "three eight lines" plot of chicken flying dog jumping for the male and female protagonists.
The male and female protagonists are middle-aged people with children, and they can't be reserved when they fall in love, and they quarrel like elementary school students at every turn, and force this kind of "happy and wrong" rotten plot on middle-aged people, is it really good?
Do you think forcibly sprinkling sugar is over? And it didn't!
In order to create various coincidences for the male and female protagonists, the screenwriter also did everything he could.
For example, the company of the male and female protagonists has cooperation, and disputes arise in the cooperation, and the resolution of disputes must be personally presented by the male and female protagonists! Everyone else has no processing power...
Everyone has been chasing dramas for so many years, not knowing that film and television dramas must have conflicts.
But the conflict arranged by the screenwriter is also too bloody.
The female protagonist bumped into the male protagonist taking a bath, and the male protagonist also bumped into the female protagonist taking a bath, what kind of sparks can be hit by this series of collisions?
Please, the two actors are 100 years old together, and they are still dressed in youth, and they are silent directly to me.
When Jiang Wenli fell into Ming Dao's arms, she performed a look of embarrassment, and at the same time, the audience also watched their toes pick the ground.
Two senior actors starred in this drama, and people couldn't help but suspect that before the cooperation, did they not read the script at all?
There are too many similar plots and plots like this, and the plot behind it directly shows me stupid.
Ben came here and there was a paragraph to complain about the casting of the director and screenwriter.
But a lot has been said before, and everyone knows something, so I won't go into too much detail here.
For viewers who still want to "enjoy" this TV series, I only recommend watching the spit video on the short video platform, and don't watch the original film
