Preface
From the end of December 2022 to the present.
Unexpectedly, there are as many as 26 national dramas with a Douban score of 8 points this year.
The first is the Tencent video platform, which overwhelms the crowd with nine dramas with more than 8 points.
("The Long Season", "Three-Body Problem", "Zeng Boy", "Under the Prosperous City", "Ask the Heart", "The Glory of Parents", "Love Only", "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate", "Hometown is Unharmed")
iQIYI is slightly behind, but there are also five on the list.
("Zeng Boy", "Hurricane", "Lotus Tower", "Thirteen Years in the Dust", "Agent Mission")
Youku is also a five.
("Youth Song Xing", "I May Have Met a Savior", "Under the Alien", "The Days of Chasing the Light", "Like a Fire in the Years")
There are four Mango TVs.
("To a Windy Place", "I Have a Friend", "Those Young Times That Can't Go Back", "Apocalypse")
There are two parts of Bilibili.
("In My Life", "Ancient Lovesickness")
There are also two dramas that have not been released in the mainland.
("Bad Obsession Eliminator", "The Defender of the Eight-Foot Door")
Counting the national dramas with a score of more than 8.5, there are 12 in total.
Looking at these high-scoring Chinese dramas, all kinds of types, all kinds of styles, all kinds of themes, and all kinds of elements can be said to be complete and blooming everywhere.
Because there are too many dramas with more than 8 points this time, we only select high-scoring Chinese dramas with more than 100,000 ratings on Douban this time.
Conduct a high-scoring national drama inventory in 2023 from low to high.
No. 10: "Love Only" 8.2 points
As the only modern idol drama on the list, the name of the play is just love, but the plot is not just love.
The play "Love Only" covers the funny and warm father-son relationship, the intimate girlfriend relationship, and the passionate passion of campus sports competition.
On Douban, 140,000 people scored a high score of 8.2.
Over the years, the CP of sister and brother love seems to be very good.
Zhou Yutong's sense of workplace in the play, coupled with Wu Lei's sense of youth, is really a feast for the audience's eyes.
My sister doesn't feel like a stereotypical strong woman in the workplace, but also a warm, confused, and delicate sister in the workplace.
The younger brother is not just a coquettish and willful little fresh meat in the impression, but a young man who is young and mature in the play.
Just like Song Sanchuan said to Liang Youan, the best love should be level-eyed.
So the two people in this drama are more of a pair of boyfriends and girlfriends who appreciate each other, help each other, and move forward side by side.
The interaction between men and women in the play has a sense of proportion, which makes people feel that their love is very reasonable, and there are traces of every step of the heartbeat.
It turns out that as long as you love each other, there can be a topic of conversation for similarities and differences, and it turns out that sister and brother love can also be very refreshing and reliable.
The reason why it has a high score of 8.2 may be that this drama has less greasy blood of many modern romantic dramas, and more sincerity and truth that are rare to see now!
Ninth place: "Youth Song Xing" 8.3 points
As a book-based comic drama, "Youth Song Xing" has a score of only 7.3 points, which is not optimistic from the beginning.
But time proves everything, it is a good drama, and it will eventually usher in the recognition of the audience, as of now, 110,000 people have scored a high score of 8.3, this drama is simply a dark horse film with a low start and a high walk, and the word of mouth counterattacks.
Compared with the previous martial arts online dramas that only rubbed IP traffic, this drama is willing to "spend money" on the special effects of famous scenes, which will shock you visually.
Most importantly, the story puts perspective and themes on a group of teenagers.
Xiao Se, Lei Wuji, Wuxin, Tang Lian, Sikong Qianluo, each teenager has its own story, each teenager has its own feelings, each teenager has its own ambition, and they get together to be "Youth Song Xing".
Eighth place: "Under the Busy City" 8.5 points
From the lack of popularity at the beginning, to the word-of-mouth counterattack after the broadcast, 140,000 people scored a high score of 8.5.
is different from the second cool film in the special effects of "Youth Song Xing", this "Under the Prosperous City" wins in terms of artistic attainments and brain-burning plot.
In the play, the buildings are carved and painted, using the unique market scene and humanistic feelings in the south of the Yangtze River to talk about the bustling city and crawling silverfish.
Starting from a horrific serial murder case, it led to a fire of "Diao Nu" against the master, exposing a 20-year-old unjust case, lamenting the volatile hearts and unpredictable human nature.
Through a large number of details of foreshadowing, a wealth of character group portraits have been created, from Lu Zhi, who has changed from good to evil, to Xiaobaozi, who has always been good, who has adhered to his heart, and Song Zhongqiu, who has been imprisoned unjustly and is difficult to overturn human nature.
The whole play is clean and neat, the rhythm is bright, and the logic is rigorous, so that the audience can think and understand together in the play.
The world is unfair, and justice is a long way to go, but there are always people who light the lamp with their bodies, walk alone in the dark, and hold justice.
No. 7: "Lotus Building" scored 8.5 points
"Lotus Tower", which is highly consistent in and out of the play, was only broadcast for 18 days, which is as short as Li Lianhua's lifespan.
But it is also as good as Li Lianhua, so that there are still "Lianluo people" who cannot forget.
After the broadcast, 570,000 people gave a score of 8.5, and iQiyi's popularity value soared to more than 10,000, which triggered a long-tail effect.
The protagonists and supporting roles have their own materials, and many popular stalks like "Go Walk, Go Fast" have been born.
As a suspenseful martial arts detective drama, Lotus House has many advantages, especially in the portrayal of characters.
Crazy and crazy, love is also crazy Jiao Lichen, Qiao Wanmian picked up his sword but no longer waited for the return, Di Feisheng decided that the opponent would not let go in this life, Fang Duo was a fledgling but enthusiastic and sincere.
From Li Xiangyi, who is the first in the world, to Li Lianhua, who sees through everything, he came in a flat boat and drifted on the river when he went.
In the end, he chose an ending that he liked, and it was even more important to make himself happy.
Li Lianhua in this hurried world, write down, write goodbye, write epiphany, write if there is no if, there is no need to look back, write that it was good in the past, and it will be good in the future, warning people that if their hearts are pure, the lotus flower can bloom everywhere.
No. 6: "Madness" 8.5 min.
If you haven't watched Hurricane in 2023, then there is no common topic between the two of us.
As the name suggests, the drama is driving wildly, the network and the station are double exploding, and all ages are chasing it, which can be said to have achieved a fire that breaks the circle.
Explosive dramas, explosive stalks, explosive characters, explosive actors, explosive CP, and various stalks of other dramas.
A hexagonal warrior like Ma Long was a big hit at the beginning of the year, with 880,000 people scoring a high score of 8.5 on Douban.
The average number of views per episode exceeded 300 million, and hot stalks emerged one after another.
Like Jinghai's only pure white jasmine An Xin, Gao Qiqiang, who reads Sun Tzu's Art of War and tastes all kinds of life, what grade do you use with the same plasma TV as my Xu Jiang.
"Hurricane" uses a 39-episode double-line narrative technique, from the characters and events in parallel, telling the story of how a fishmonger became a local underworld brother with the assistance of a mad brother.
It also tells how the people's policemen with ideals forgot about their lives and deaths, stuck to their hearts, and grew from a "stunned youth" to a cautious and stable capable criminal policeman.
Along the way, she lost her family, lover, master, comrades-in-arms, and apprentices, to the point that there was nothing to lose, An Xin always adhered to justice and conscience, which made people feel at ease and reassuring.
I was really moved by this atmosphere of chasing dramas and appreciating dramas by the whole people, and I hope that there will be more popular dramas like "Hurricane" in the future.
Fifth place: 8.6 points for "Ancient Acacia".
Edited and adapted by the UP main 3000 fish of station B, produced and created by station B, it has a texture that exceeds expectations with low cost.
Douban has 160,000 people, with a high score of 8.6.
The audience was attracted by the setting that the first episode was the finale, and later they were immersed in the reverse travel of time and space.
Shen Buyan used the broken jade pendant to piece together a complete Lu Kite, and met his first meeting at the end of the story.
"Ancient Acacia" is like a sad song destined for lovesickness.
The reason why it is moving is not only the CP with flesh in the blood, which makes people heartbreaking;
Director Zhizhu used delicate lenses to create a fatalistic atmosphere;
It is also hidden in the beginning and end of the film, the details and foreshadowing everywhere in the costumes and props.
It uses subtle and introverted language to write about the obscure and profound friendship, which is in line with Chinese aesthetics, like a short poem, worthy of the audience's careful taste.
The sober and fearless Lu Kite chose the righteousness of his family and country, exchanged his life's infamy for the Qingming of later generations, and created a very moving heroine role.
The play is a good proof that everything will be meaningful if you talk about a work well with heart and emotion.
Fourth place: "To a Windy Place" 8.7 points
300,000 people scored a high score of 8.7 on Douban, because "Going to a Windy Place" is worth it!
The shot of Liu Yifei's bouquet of flowers once became the avatar of many people, this is the most healing drama I have seen this year!
In the plain and warm, it makes people infinitely moved, and in the process of watching, I choked up several times.
The story begins with the death of a friend, which makes Xu Hongdou think about how to live.
On the way to Yunnan, the uncles and grandmothers of Yunmiao Village, and the friends of the windy courtyard, everyone has their own stories, and everyone is full of kindness.
Xu Hongdou has the family affection that supports her to go on, and she also meets new friendships here, encounters love, and sees the essence of life.
This drama focuses on the quiet scenery of Yunnan and the warm friendship, not only about the shortcomings of parents, but also about left-behind children and the construction of their hometown.
In the heavy and mundane topics, they are all delicately outlined with gentle brushstrokes.
Going to a windy place is actually saying that there is no definite destination in this world, as long as the end is happiness, everything will have meaning.
"Don't be too yourself, whatever choice you make, I'll cheer you on. ”
3rd place: 8.8 points for "Bad Obsession Eliminator".
Douban's 190,000 people scored a high score of 8.8, a high-scoring drama from our Taiwan Province.
After watching it, the audience is calling: "The director will arrange the second season quickly".
The story is about a hot-blooded stupid boy with bad looks, who accidentally gains the ability to see obsessions, and obsessions incarnate into human forms and come to the door for help.
In order to overcome obsession, the hot-blooded bad boy and the rookie police flower and the medical school student form an obsession elimination trio, starting an efficient and healing fantasy journey.
Hot-blooded, slightly frightened and warm, funny, good and crying.
As a rare fantasy urban comedy theme this year, it novelly uses Chinese pen and ink as an elegiac couplet to resolve obsession, and expresses the release of the emotional obsession that everyone faces in life.
It dissects human nature, looks at pain levelly, embraces loneliness, and is emotionally intense, but it is fast-paced and unpretentious.
The story of 12 episodes witnesses various types of obsessions, and in the end, it is discovered that the human heart is the best place to eliminate obsessions.
Second place: "Three-Body Problem" 8.8 points
The original novel of the same name "The Three-Body Problem" has won the "Galaxy Award", "Nebula Award" and "Hugo Award".
Top IP, top original work, from project initiation to casting, every step of the production has attracted the attention of fans.
On the first day of broadcasting, the popularity value of "Three-Body Problem" broke the record of the highest value in the history of Tencent Video, and it really made good use of this top script.
"The Three-Body Problem" can be understood as a high-level three-body alien with more than human intelligence, in terms of setting, due to the fantasy plot, it is extremely difficult to present it in audio-visual language, but the crew still highly restores the intention plot that is difficult to restore in the novel.
"The Turkey and the Farmer Hypothesis", "Cosmic Flicker", "Human Computer", "Operation Guzheng", "Proton Unfolding".
With vivid and complex characters, the abstract concept is concretized, even if you have not read Liu Cixin's original work, you can better understand the spiritual connotation of the three-body problem, and the more you look at it, the more you can go deeper into it.
The 8.8-point Douban score of 420,000 people highly affirmed "The Three-Body Problem".
At the same time, "The Three-Body Problem" won the best art of Magnolia, and the overseas reputation is even higher.
It unfolds from the perspective of physicist Wang Miao, extending from a homicide to the three-body world of an alien civilization.
The audience and Shi Qiang and Wang Miao felt the crisis of the three-body problem about to invade the earth.
Through the choice of Ye Wenjie's crisis, I saw the shortcomings of human nature in an extreme environment, and also saw people's perception of survival and awe of life before the disaster.
It is true that the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" is not perfect, but the flaws are not hidden, it is still a milestone work in Chinese science fiction dramas, allowing us to see that Chinese science fiction is rising step by step.
1st place: "The Long Season" scored 9.4 points
In 2023, 880,000 people will give the highest-rated domestic drama on Douban, with a high score of 9.4

At the turn of spring and summer, we met the Northeast in autumn, met a group of confused and painful young people, and looked at the people at the bottom of the society who were struggling to live.

There is always a loud Wang Xiang in life, who lost his wife and son overnight, and finally learned how to express love gently for the rest of his life.

Look ahead, don't look back.
epilogue
The above are the top ten high-scoring online dramas with the highest comprehensive ratings in 2023.
Looking back at the drama in 2023, there are hopes and disappointments.
The audience has long stopped paying for the model of traffic + star IP, and more importantly, those wonderful characters and high-quality drama details will be deeply concerned by the audience.
Although some plots and characters don't match, it can be said that they have been greatly improved in terms of the original soundtrack and the costume.
There are highlights in the subject matter, new ideas in the plot, and the thinking progress of the main creative team is a good phenomenon.
Compared with those bad dramas, as long as they are sincere to the audience, commendable, and can move the audience, they are good dramas recognized by the audience.
I hope that there will be more high-scoring Chinese dramas in 2024, which will make people more refreshing.
