This year's summer cinema movies are no longer as lively as in previous years, but the good dramas are wave after wave.
Chinese dramas, American dramas, Japanese and Korean dramas, all have hits.
Come, give you a plate.
Of course, it came according to my taste.
Life is like the first sight
Broadcast date: August
Very much looking forward to the historical drama.
It tells the story of several patriotic young people of different identities and classes after the change of Gengzi Country, looking for the direction of their home country and their personal life direction at the fork in the road of the times.
The cast of this show is too strong.
Wang Wei, the director of "White Night Pursuit", and Jiang Qitao, the god screenwriter of "Bright Sword" and "Han Wu Emperor".
The main cast is Li Xian, Chun Xia, Wei Daxun, Zhou You, Zhu Yawen, Wu Yue, and Li Chengru.
Spring and summer's first small screen work.
In addition to the platinum lineup, I also like the level of service and color grading in the trailer, and there is a sense of just the right oldness, and the proportion is appropriate.
The show was originally launched in July, but has now been postponed to August, hoping not to be late again.
Flower fall season
Air Date: Summer Vacation
High Noon this year's drama.
The lineup is also a drooling level.
The director of "All Is Good" is Jian Chuanji, and the screenwriter of "Dajiang Dahe" Isai, starring Lei Jiayin, Yuan Quan, Zhang Yixing, Jia Nailiang, Luo Haiqiong, and Liang Guanhua.
Realistic themes, focusing on the entrepreneurial, emotional and family experiences of several young and middle-aged people. Behind the reflection, nature is the era.
The drama is full of fans.
But the color grading of the trailer is a bit lower than my expectations, and there is a little bit of the feeling of the 90s Qiong Yao drama, and it seems that the color grading in the later stage has not been completed.
I hope that after the main film starts broadcasting, the later stage will be optimized in place.
This drama got a distribution license in March, has been scheduled, and should be seen in the summer vacation.
Monsters go to work
Air date: July 7
A spin-off animated series from Pixar's Monsters University.
The original team of the film has all returned, and there are also new characters to join.
But the director is a newcomer.
Set six months after monster power, monster power company is now able to generate electricity for the city by harvesting the laughter of children instead of screaming, and thanks to the discovery of Bigeye and Furry, laughter can produce ten times more energy than screaming.
Judging by the title, you can guess that this is a story about "social animals", so I expect Pixar to bring more angles than just "hard work" chicken soup.
Kingdom: Ashin of the North
Air date: July 23
A spin-off of Netflix's Korean zombie drama "Kingdom".
Only one episode, 92 minutes.
So, it's actually a TV movie.
It is a biography about the character of Ah Shin, played by Jeon Ji-hyun at the end of the second season.
It's not A-Shin who has to love when he's dead, nor is it A-Shin who loves ing.
The highlight of "Kingdom" is still the third season at the end of the year, the foreplay has laid so much, the heavyweight zombie and the war of the ancient dynasty should be fought.
Nine perfect strangers
Air date: August 18
Nicole Kidman's new Hulu drama, which produces and starred, is the most anticipated American drama this summer.
The show is based on a new book of the same name by Big Little Lies author Leanne Moriarty.
It tells the story of 9 strangers who come with their own troubles in a high-end resort, and their instructor Nicole.
The temperament is similar to "Big Little Lies", the ambiguous sense of secrecy, the uncertainty, and the suspiciousness of everyone.
However, the genre is marked with a plot, so it should be a realistic theme without fantasy elements.
There was only murder in the building
Air date: August 31
A suspense comedy produced by Hulu.
Starring Selena Gomez, the screenplay was written by John Hoffman of The Same Wife Club.
It tells the story of three strangers who share a common obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves caught up in it.
Sounds kind of interesting.
American Horror Story: Two Sides
Air date: 8.25
Unconsciously, "American Fear" has been filmed to the tenth season.
In the first 9 seasons, there are both gods and bad works.
But even if the plot collapses, the artistic level of "American Terror" has never dropped the line, from the poster to the opening to the audiovisual of the play, including various horror wonders.
Therefore, even if I don't expect too much from the plot, "American Terror" has always been in my list of films to watch.
The new season is also the same as before, the plot is secret, only that the whole season tells a total of two horror stories, one in the sea, one on the beach.
It sounds a bit similar to the "play-within-play" episode of the sixth season.
This season's lineup is also full of old faces, "Banana Sister" Sarah Paulson, "Quicksilver" Evan Peters, as well as "Wicked Nurse" Lily Rabe and old drama bone Kathy Bates.
Death Physician Dr. Death
Air date: July 15
Based on the real-life antisocial homicide of doctors.
Duntsch is a neurosurgeon in Dallas, usa, a rookie in the medical field, intelligent and charismatic, but he is supposed to treat and save people, but he quietly attacks patients, leaving people with fatal injuries at their most vulnerable - after receiving the complex but routine spinal surgery he has done, 33 patients died or were paralyzed and crippled. Dunntsch went unpunished for several years, until gradually a colleague discovered the problem, and two doctors and an assistant prosecutor began to explore his crimes.
In 2017, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, the first case in U.S. history in which a "doctor was convicted of an act in an operating room."
The director is Stephen Frese of "Marriage Counseling" and "British Scandal", and the male protagonist is Joshua Jackson in "Edge of Crisis", and the lineup is quite reliable.
But at the same time, I am also worried that this kind of killing drama based on real events will be difficult to make new ideas. So, don't expect too much.
White Lotus
Air date: July 11
HBO's 6-episode sci-fi limited series.
Set against the backdrop of a unique tropical resort, the show tells the story of different tourists and staff over the course of a week.
More plot lines are unknown.
Watching the trailer didn't see where sci-fi was, probably a bit similar to last year's "Upload New Life".
I don't know if Dada Rio Da Mei can contribute beyond the breakthrough acting skills in "True Detective"? [Wangchai]
The North Water
An adventure miniseries starring Colin Farrell, 4 episodes of 60 minutes each.
Based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Ian McGuire, it focuses on a catastrophic whaling campaign of the 19th century.
Tells the story of a notorious war doctor and a brutal killer on a whaling ship.
I look forward to the level of "Polar Evil Spirits".
The melancholy of the betrayed Tagawa
Air date: July 13
Comic book adaptation, but look at the plot, a bit of gender swap version of the meaning of "Cheating Lover".
Takaaki Inuyasha plays a husband who thinks he is very happy, but inadvertently discovers that his silly and sweet wife has a leg with her boss.
So Inuyasha embarked on a secret revenge plan.
His wife is played by Hirona Hori.
Therefore, whether it is the plot or the appearance value, it is a cool drama configuration.
It's just a divorce
It is also a marriage suspense cheating drama that the people like to hear.
The male and female protagonists are married for 7 years, but they have no feelings for a long time, just no divorce. Moreover, the husband also has an extramarital affair.
Will it be another Day Face?
