With 2023 coming, the field of TV dramas has ushered in a wave of enthusiasm. "Futuyuan", this costume drama has maintained a strong attention since its release in 2022, continuing until 2023. Halfway through the storyline, the sweet emotions of the hero and heroine have the audience intoxicated, and it is expected to set a popularity record for the platform again. Undoubtedly, Wang Hedi has become the favored "chosen male protagonist" with his outstanding performance.
On the other hand, "Even with the Wind" also met with the audience, Jin Dong and Song Jia's joint performance, the two leading actors are strong and famous. However, the plot does not show too many highlights, and the portrayal of middle-aged love and working life is relatively unrealistic, so it is not satisfactory in terms of word of mouth.
Not long ago, Mango TV's new drama "Go to a Windy Place" was also successfully launched, achieving considerable viewership data and easily topping the major hit drama rankings. This is a proud achievement for a new show.
However, it is regrettable that this drama has not won word of mouth. Once broadcast, it quickly accumulated a large number of bad reviews on the Douban website, and one- and two-star reviews flew all over the world, and viewers called for abandoning the show. Three of these issues stand out in particular.
The first is the rhythm of the plot, and there is a clear sense of separation between the front and back. "Go to a Windy Place" tells the story of the protagonist Xu Hongdou who decides to change his life after the death of his best friend Chen Nanxing and leaves the bustling city for a small town in Yunnan. There she met Xie Zhiyao, who returned to her hometown to start a business, and the relationship between the two gradually warmed up in getting along, and finally decided to stay and build a small town.
Although the main line of the story is Xu Hongdou's life experience in Yunnan, the reason why she came to Yunnan has not received sufficient attention. In the play, Xu Hongdou went to the hospital with Chen Nanxing for examination in order to be unwell. However, Chen Nanxing was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and this sudden plot confused the audience, almost thinking that he was watching an old Korean drama, and the speed at which the plot developed was simply dizzying. Chen Nanxing was hospitalized, while Xu Hongdou continued to work, and after a few scenes, Chen Nanxing was already thin, because chemotherapy caused her to be bald, and she could only wear a hat all the time. The audience felt that many important episodes were missed because the fast-forward sense of the plot was too strong.
In fact, the friendship between Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing is one of the main reasons why she decided to change her life, and this emotional thread should be portrayed in more detail. However, only one episode was allocated to unfold this part of the plot, and in the end, the two did not even say goodbye face to face. Although Wu Qian performed well in supporting roles, the plot still made people feel rushed.
What's even more bizarre is that after the second episode, the pace of the plot suddenly becomes extremely slow, almost making people feel like watching "Longing for Life". The transition between before and after is very unnatural and unacceptable.
For pastoral plays, the key to engaging the audience is to create a vibrant atmosphere that allows the audience to engage in it. However, "To the Windy Place" also failed to get rid of the problem of suspension. Xu Hongdou, who has worked in Beijing for many years, is still only a hotel lobby manager, and is about to enter the age of thirty, and finally has the opportunity to promote her position and salary, but she decided to resign rashly and hide from her parents, an impulsive behavior that many viewers find incomprehensible and too unrealistic.
In addition, the heroine was hit by a teenager and broke her mobile phone just after arriving in Yunnan, and then found that the teenager's brother turned out to be the male protagonist Xie Zhiyao, this coincidence makes people feel unnatural, as if it is an old routine of domestic dramas. The follow-up of the plot mainly revolves around the love of Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao, and the plot is extremely predictable and difficult for the audience to resonate. In addition, the role creation of some supporting characters is also very vague. Social phobia writer Barley did not get a job after graduation and was there all day
Windy Town writes niche online novels, and this unknown author should not make much money, but there is no reasonable explanation given in the play, and it is difficult for the audience to understand how they make ends meet. A similar situation has appeared in characters such as the mysterious merchant Ma Qiu Shan and the small-town musician Hu Youyu. These characters don't seem to need to work and enjoy life in Yunnan every day, and although the play presents a pyrotechnic, it is difficult for the audience to resonate.
In addition, the acting skills of the male and female protagonists were questioned by the audience. The audience generally has high expectations for Liu Yifei and Li Xian, because they are both high-profile actors, Liu Yifei is known as "Tianxian", and Li Xian is known as "current boyfriend", this high-value combination is very exciting. However, their performance in the play did not meet expectations.
The first is Liu Yifei, this is her first attempt at modern drama, and the audience thought that even if she broke away from ancient costumes, she would still be beautiful and moving. However, Liu Yifei in the play seems to have given up body and posture management, and her condition has declined compared with the past. In addition, in some shots, her makeup is too heavy, straight eyebrows and pink lipstick make her temperament greatly reduced, not at all like before. The most criticized thing is her line performance, every sentence seems weak, expressionless, sounds puzzling, and even requires subtitles to hear clearly, and the sentences are not clear.
As for the male protagonist Li Xian, the overall performance failed to get rid of his shadow of Han Shangyan in "Dear, Love", especially in the scene of teaching his younger brother, his performance is highly similar to the state when Han Shangyan taught his subordinates, which made the audience feel strange. In the play, he plays Xie Zhiyao, a character with affinity and high emotional intelligence, who should be calm and comfortable in any situation. However, in some episodes, he saw Xu Hongdou's foot step on cow dung, smiled with folds on his face, and his performance was very stiff, which was obviously too deliberate a performance, which did not match the character setting and made people feel unnatural.
On the whole, it is not for nothing that the drama "Go to a Windy Place" received bad reviews. The three major problems in the play are obvious: the pace is unreasonable, the plot is boring, and the actors perform poorly. However, the drama is still being updated, and perhaps the subsequent plot is expected to improve. In the current lack of similar genre episodes, this drama may still become popular and is worth continuing to watch. So, how attractive do you think the show really is?
Summary of the event:
Overall, "To the Windy Place" failed to live up to expectations, despite attracting the attention of the audience. The rhythm problems, tedious plot and poor performance of the actors in the play have become the focus of questions from the audience. Still, the show is constantly being updated and there may be room for improvement. In the current TV drama market, there are still audiences who are willing to continue to follow dramas and expect the plot to improve. The future development will determine the final fate of this show, and whether it can counterattack and become a hit remains to be judged by the audience.
