In the domestic film and television landscape in 2024, the theme of anti-crime has once again become the focus. I remember that in those years, domestic anti-crime dramas such as "In the Name of the People" once led the market trend and made people's blood boil.
Since the hit of "In the Name of the People", although works such as "Patrol Procuratorial Team", "Breakthrough", and "Sweeping the Black Storm" have also continued to attract the attention of the audience, the ups and downs of word-of-mouth have made the audience's expectations for the new work more and more urgent. It wasn't until last year that the birth of "Hurricane" once again ignited the audience's passion for anti-crime dramas.
However, it seems that the new work that the audience has been waiting for has not arrived as scheduled, will this theme fall silent again? However, Youku has brought us a new surprise - "In the Name of Law"!
"In the Name of the Law" is set in the Haidong Provincial Procuratorate and tells the story of prosecutors Hong Liang (played by Zhang Yi), Zheng Yaping (played by Jiang Xin) and Li Renjun (played by Li Guangjie), the chief prosecutor of the Haizhou City Procuratorate, who encountered many doubts when reviewing the "Wanshi Group's criminal case". They are determined to find out the truth, cooperate with the work of various departments, and use the clues as a breakthrough to conduct an in-depth investigation of the "213 shooting case" and strive to find the real culprit.
The essence of this drama lies in its tight plot and bold scale. In the dimly lit interrogation room, Hong Liang was confined to the interrogation chair and asked Zheng Yaping softly, "Can I trust you?" And Zheng Yaping responded angrily: "You are hurting me!" The tense atmosphere makes one wonder if Hong Liang is involved in black. And Zheng Yaping's contemplation in the shadows and the people's questioning of "whether there is a place to say it in Dongping" integrate elements such as suspense, reversal, and law, which makes people want to stop.
In "In the Name of Law", the scale is not shown through bloody and violent scenes, but through the careful and terrifying plot. This anti-crime and anti-corruption drama focuses on gang-related cases, seeking the truth by reviewing a variety of cases. There are many contradictions and conflicts in the plot and a large scale, and the reversal part of the trial has a certain refreshing feeling, which makes people chew more and more flavorful.
In addition to the wonderful plot, the cast of the show is also a highlight. Zhang Yi, as a representative of the Mesozoic actors, has excellent performances on both large and small screens. This time, he played the prosecutor Hong Liang in "In the Name of the Law", he sat on the ground and turned his handcuffs, his eyes were contemplative, faintly revealing fierceness and ruthlessness, which made people look forward to the progress of the case.
Jiang Xin, as a leader of the Mesozoic actresses, played the role of prosecutor Zheng Yaping this time, showing disappointment and disbelief during the interrogation of Hong Liang, which was extremely infectious. Her performance once again proved her strength as a powerful actor.
In addition, the joining of powerful actors such as Wang Jinsong, Feng Jiayi, and Ding Yongdai also added a lot to the play. With their superb acting skills, they presented the audience with vivid character images, which made the whole drama more interesting.
The debut of "In the Name of Law" has undoubtedly brought new vitality to the domestic anti-crime drama market. It is expected to become another high-profile anti-crime masterpiece after "Hurricane" with excellent performance in terms of plot and cast. Let's wait and see!
