Suspense Japanese drama, a genre that can't be tired of watching.
Before there was suspense and tears, "For N" that made CP fans want to stop.
After the "wife" killed four parties, the full acting skills were hung, and the "unnatural death" from the beginning to the end.
The more suspenseful the plot, the more addictive the audience is.
As a result, both dramas have become annual hits.
Recently, there is another suspenseful Japanese drama on fire - "The Favorite".
After just two episodes, it sat firmly on the throne of the first TV station to receive the same ratings.
The Douban score reached 9.0, and it directly rushed to the second place in the Douban hot list. It is higher than the recently popular Han Suxi's Korean drama "My Name".
Why is this drama more popular? Brushed two episodes in one sitting. Look at the list of creators again, and you understand everything.
Netizens said it well, "The director of "Unnatural Death" and the team of "For N" used the shooting style of "Your Name" to shoot a script of Keigo Higashino's style. ”
All in.

Can't play a girl? As a result, a gif of a beautiful and evil woman stroking her hair with her bloody hands in the rain,
Straight out of the loop.
Coupled with the new male god Matsushita Hohei and Inura Shin acting together, it is a bit powerful.
Then look at the best Japanese drama of the year, what is the color?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > suspenseful, so what is the situation of crying so well? </h1>
Opening, classic Japanese suspense routine.
Some people died. Some people reunite.
At the beginning of the story, the "evil girl" of the play has been placed in front of our eyes -
The outstanding young female president Ishio (Yuriko Yoshitaka), as the perpetrators of the serial murder case, is investigated by the criminal police Miyazaki (Matsushita Tsunehira), and they were once each other's first love for many years.
Oh, I love this tangled design.
If you watch the last episode and then look back at the opening scene, you can feel the advanced and sticky characteristics of the show - four words: love suspense.
The bright line is suspense, and the dark line is love.
The whole story begins with a foggy killing.
Back to the beginning of the story, it is the track and field team teenagers, platforms, pleated skirts, quiet and happy town time.
At that time, the heroine was still the manager of the high school athletics department, and Xiao Jigao's smile was the most beautiful mascot in the town.
The heroine's parents divorced, the mother remarried, became the female president, the heroine followed the old father, half-brother living together, the eldest sister is like a mother, the younger brother is her heart meat.
However, the younger brother accidentally fell while playing on the slide and fell to his head, leaving behind the sequelae of intermittent memory loss. Since then, the heroine has taken it as an ideal to enter the pharmacy department in Tokyo and invent a medicine that can eventually cure her brother.
At that time, the heroine and the bamboo horse were both in love, and the two liked each other, but they both wanted to wait until a goal was achieved before confessing.
Everything was so beautiful, until the last night study before the heroine went to tokyo for the exam, and an uninvited guest came to the dormitory of the Athletics Club, Kosuke Watanabe, the most obedient student of the Athletics Club.
Then the camera switches, the heroine wakes up at four o'clock in the morning in bed at home, sleeping next to her brother, the heroine finds herself with strange strangulation marks on her hands, but she can no longer remember what happened last night.
At this time, Dad suddenly came back from outside and told her that he was sorry that he should not have left her alone; but the heroine had no memory of what had happened.
Although her father was torn, but seeing the blood-stained clothes in the washing machine, the heroine knew what the only father who knew the truth was hiding, and the next day she rushed to take the exam, and when she returned home after the exam, she found that her father had died of sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
At this point in the story, the hook of the whole story's serial suspense is thrown - what really happened that night?
Later, after her father's funeral, the heroine accidentally bumped her head by the lamp, recalling some blurry pictures, she was forcibly dragged by a boy, and the boy also said to her: "When you wake up, you don't remember anything."
The audience has been able to guess that the heroine should have been drugged by the boy, and it is likely to be qq. But the unknown thing is whether she is a person or a group of people.
In the mystery, the heroine has to follow her mother's lawyer to Tokyo and join the female president who has strong pockets and always wears a mask.
That's the main part of the town's story. The next story line follows the heroine into Tokyo.
15 years have passed, the heroine has transformed into a female president who does not look angry, Watanabe's skeleton was found, and another murder case involved her, the deceased is Watanabe's father, and the evidence in the deceased's pocket is a talisman given to the athletics department 15 years ago.
One of the police officers investigating the case was the bamboo horse man of the year.
And when the male protagonist went to investigate and met with the woman he once loved most, he found that the first sentence of the female protagonist said to him: The first time you meet, please pay more attention.
In addition to this bright line, another thing that worries the audience, and the source of the most tear-jerking passages in the first two episodes, is the dark line of the series - the love of the male and female protagonists.
The most Japanese drama passages in the first two episodes are the passages where the heroine leaves the town and the male protagonist participates in the marathon.
On one side, the heroine leans on the car driving away from the town, in the soft, gentle piano song, watching the mountains, water, breeze, and grass of the hometown town are constantly receding in the window.
On the other side is the male protagonist's entrance preparations, and the two go their separate ways to fate.
However, the heroine finally couldn't help but get out of the car and began to run wildly in the direction of the arena, and the theme song "Jun に夢中" sung by Hikaru Utada for the play sounded in the background music.
Even if the ending is inevitably missed, the audience can't help but break the defense when they see the hand of the heroine waving goodbye to herself.
From here on, all viewers know that no matter how the heroine pretends to be indifferent in front of the male protagonist after 15 years, this bamboo horse love will never end here.
Sooner or later, she will have to choose between the hardcover lawyer who silently guards herself and the bamboo horse who has been shipwrecked.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="122" > Yukitaka Yuriko, this "evil girl" is too beautiful</h1>
There is no doubt that, like Unnatural Death, this is the standard big female lead.
The arrow character is the enigmatic woman in the whole play - the murder suspect "Evil Girl" played by Yoshigao Yuriko.
Yuriko Yoshigao's drama is indeed very beautiful. But this character is by no means a vase.
The heroine's experience has created her complex personality.
On the one hand, she used to be so gentle and kind, looking harmless to people and animals, full of super vitality and smiles, but on the other hand, when she experienced that nightmare and family upheaval, she became cold, slightly crazy, and sick.
When she faces the interrogation of the male protagonist, that subtle expression is full of the self-pull of the two personalities.
One is that after experiencing an incomparably "painful" process, he has long ceased to believe in the "truth, goodness and beauty" of his own self, and one sees the moment when he has lost his first love for 15 years, his eyes suddenly shake a little, but he immediately covers his inner waves with an indifferent expression.
This kind of evil girl's beauty, makeup is only one aspect, the point is that behind this beauty there is a strong vitality of the character.
For the male protagonist, a strong sense of distance makes him feel that the female protagonist is no longer the same person.
But for the heroine, she must guard the truth of the death of the male protagonist, not for herself, but for the people closest to her.
And she doesn't know if she can trust the male protagonist now, a criminal policeman who must find out the truth.
The various uncertainties of people's hearts make this crazy heroine too attractive.
This beauty also comes from the deep love between her and the male protagonist, but they are both bondages to each other.
When people have a bond, they must pretend to be strangers to the people they love, swallow the truth of the murder into their stomachs, and keep their high-society seats and continue to carry out drug research in order to cure their brother's illness.
Such an evil woman, of course, is dazzlingly beautiful and poignant.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="124" > years without watching Japanese dramas, or so deceitful! </h1>
It is not difficult to see that this drama simply collects a variety of "For N" old terriers.
All kinds of evidence pushed the heroine who had become a police officer at that time to the front of her childhood lover. They are all mysteries that span many years, all have a constant frontier, all have scapegoats, shields, and complicity between loved ones, and all kinds of things are right and wrong.
Even "For N" has a lot of shots and shooting methods, such as beautiful slow motion, which coincide with this drama.
The feeling of chasing the drama is also similar, the suspense is suspense, but it is still addictive to watch and sigh.
Ayuko Tsukahara is still the same Ayuko Tsukahara, the lens language is beautiful, the background music is just right, the suspense reasoning is slightly thin but the sense of atmosphere is strong, the picture, rhythm and soundtrack are combined, and the theme song of Hikaru Utada is a plus.
But this is not the real source of the show's "coolness", where does the coolness come from?
On the one hand, the rhythm is tight and does not drag.
Although the plot is cloudy and foggy, with the gradual advancement of the time and space transition from the town to Tokyo, the natural transition of time and space, behind the two murders in 15 years, there is a classic Japanese drama-style emotional story, both the plot and the emotions have been pulled full.
A second ago, the audience was just guessing whether the heroine was written by Watanabe qq.
The next second, shortly after Watanabe disappeared, some members of the athletics club were found to be taking drugs, and the athletics club was closed, and the male owner also learned from other female members that Watanabe had drugged many female students.
In the first episode, the audience guessed that the murderer should not be the heroine, and in the second episode, the mystery was unveiled through the younger brother's video, and sure enough, the younger brother was the murderer, and the father hid the body after discovering it.
Even the love of the bamboo horse of the male and female protagonists did not drag the mud and water. The second episode killed many viewers!
Especially the last time the two meet, "How do you eat while walking at night?"
"Is this a crime, what is a crime?"
The first love 15 years ago, now one is a criminal police officer and the other is a suspect, forehead, good restraint and ambiguous atmosphere.
The story moves forward quickly, but there is still a lot of suspense buried.
For example, it is certain that the heroine did not kill Watanabe, but who killed Watanabe's father?
Is it the heroine who is forced to kill in order to cover up her brother's murderous behavior, or the brother who finds out that her sister is threatened, or even, is it the lawyer who loves the heroine to relieve the trouble?
And the male protagonist who has been tracking the case, what will be found next?
How will the fate of the heroine unfold?
All kinds of mysteries have emerged, making people have the desire to watch it.
On the other hand, the biggest cool point is the unique Japanese drama, the oriental emotion behind the suspense.
Many viewers have found that the reasoning part of the show does not seem to be so strong, and even found that the choreographer does not really put all the emphasis on suspense reasoning.
Who is the murderer? Sorry if you're still concerned about this. To put it bluntly, this show is not for you.
Because the title of the play has betrayed the choreographer's mind - "The Favorite".
How can killing people be the focus of this play, love is.
Its brilliance is not in the suspenseful murder, nor in the reversal behind the suspense.
It lies in the things behind the murder that trigger the bondage of the characters, the things that the male and female protagonists love the most.
Although it is stitched together with suspense, behind the suspense is still the purest oriental implicit beauty. This thing that does not need to be forcibly sensationalized to move the audience is also the unique vitality of Japanese dramas.
For example, my favorite sentence, "If it's a man, you should watch a woman embark on a journey." If you really like her, you can't stop her, make her sad, and make her embarrassed. ”
A younger brother who is small in size but pretends to be an adult looks at his sister who has given up his plan to go to University in Tokyo several times for himself, and how touching it is to force the adult to say this dialogue.
And before the death of the father, on the morning of the female lead examination, across the bathroom door panel said the unrealized rhetoric of guarding them all their lives, behind it, is not the oriental people accustomed to the habit, but also the most moist and silent bond between relatives?
Ultimately. The Favourite is not concerned with the answer.
It's love. It's the two sides of love.
Because of love, people must lie and live with a mask.
In the dark and deep nightmares, keep the secrets that are close to the center of the earth.
But on the other hand, this kind of bondage makes this kind of pain beautiful.
The female protagonist is to hide the crime of his brother for love, in order to protect the person he loves, and the male protagonist becomes a criminal police officer for love, wanting to protect the person he loves.
This is the most moving part of the story of that year, and the audience is fascinated by these Japanese dramas, not because of the meticulousness of their reasoning and the twists and turns of suspense, but because of the beauty of this oriental bondage that comes with the story.
Just like the marathon of the male protagonist in the first episode, the female protagonist watches him cheer for him and say goodbye from a distance, and the male protagonist has to chase the female protagonist with his trembling legs after running the marathon, is it useful? No ghost use.
The love affair between the two ended like this, leaving endless regrets and sighs....
However, such a regret is still very beautiful.
The story is to purify the noblest and most beautiful parts of human nature on the ruins of broken, traumatized life, and use the story to tell the audience that bondage makes people miserable, missing makes people regret, but it is also with bondage and pain that it proves that we have lived and loved, and it is such an emotion that makes lonely people have meaning in the world.
This is what this drama and "For N", and also the Japanese drama are in the same vein.
Although it is the fate caused by love, people know that fate is so, they still have to fight hard.
Compared to who kills, this is the most addictive place of Japanese suspense dramas.
This is also the essence of Japanese drama.
Now the story has just begun, but judging from the past works of the creators, there are few bad endings.
The next three-person emotional drama between the female protagonist, the male protagonist and the lawyer who silently guards the female protagonist is also worth looking forward to.
I know that many people have not chased Japanese dramas for a long time, but good looks are good looks, and I am deceived again, you can chase them down together, see the favorite of the "evil girl", who is it?
