I didn't expect that,
This year's first domestic drama that I brushed all night in one breath was it-
Criminal Investigation Diary
A total of 25 episodes, Youku members can watch the finale today.
Although the end is imminent, the popularity of this drama has not decreased, and word of mouth has exploded.
During the hit period, each platform dominated the list:
Lighthouse Youku network drama list first, Youku station suspense drama and Hong Kong drama top 1, for 25 consecutive days.
Douban opened with a score of 8.5 points, stabilized at 8 points after the ahead of the on-demand finale, ranked in the top 10 of the annual semi-annual list, and ranked 4th in Douban's real-time popular books and videos, which is already the best domestic Hong Kong drama this year.
The high popularity and high reputation are related to the full acting school——
Film queen Hui Yinghong, film emperor Jiang Haowen, tv emperor Haoxin and TVB and a number of powerful celebrities jointly performed, it is difficult to think about it!
The high popularity and high reputation are more related to the wonderful plot with new ideas and reversals-
Interlocking, high energy continuously, how a cool word!
01
Since it is called "Criminal Investigation Diary", the plot is of course inseparable from the case.
First there was the multiple explosions, then the blood serial murder case, then the blood puzzle novel murder case, then the disappearance of Liang Risi, and finally the ghost leg breaking case.
One suspicious point after another, one case after another, the amount of information collected exploded.
Different from the case setting where everyone can be a murderer,
The Blood Letter Murder Case and the Disappearance of Liang Risi have thrown out criminal suspects from the beginning.
This setting is undoubtedly bold and innovative in criminal investigation dramas.
Let's start with the bloody murders.
After the killer killed, he cut off the victim's little finger and wrote blood on their backs.
According to Ye Langqing, the sole survivor of the serial killings, the killer had a green eye.
Coincidence.
Wei Ruijie, a psychologist who was a consultant in the case, had a green left eye.
Moreover, Dr. Wei has a habit of collecting people's fingers, and even the handwriting is the same as that of the murderer.
Of course, Dr. Wei explained that he only looked at the problem with the eyes of the murderer in order to better understand the murderer and solve the case.
Is his words credible? Could he be the murderer?
Let's talk about Liang Risi's disappearance.
Whether it is What Yang Bixin did to Nie Shan, or Yang Bixin's memories, and various signs,
It makes people have to suspect that she may be the murderer of Liang Risi.
What is Yang Bixin hiding? Was she the murderer of Liang Risi?
These seemingly suspenseless questions hung the audience from the beginning, until the answer was revealed, and the audience suddenly realized.
Wei Ruijie and Yang Bixin have always been difficult to distinguish between good and evil characters in the play, and it is difficult to evaluate them until the last second.
Thinking back to the details and details hinted at before, it is simply amazing.
Even the simple opening MV hides a large number of clues, indicating the progress of the case.
02
The Criminal Investigation Diary is also known as the Dissociation Diary.
In addition to the confusing cases, the second biggest attraction of this drama is that "all employees are sick".
Even this disease is constantly reversed, which makes people exclaim incredible.
For example, Ye Jinfeng.
At first, we thought that Ye Jinfeng was the master personality and Zhu Jie was a derivative personality.
Unexpectedly, before the Blood Enigma Diagram murder, a personality named Matt popped out of Ye Jinfeng's body.
Unexpectedly, this Matt is the master personality, and Ye Jinfeng and Zhu Jie are both derivative personalities.
And that's not all, in the final episode, waking up from bed is a new personality called Michael.
For example, Yang Bixin.
At the beginning, we only know that Yang Bixin, who suffers from schizophrenia, can always see a noblewoman and a little girl.
Later, we found that even the constant chanting in her mouth, as if the actual existence of Dr. Pan was just an illusion.
In the end, whenever she "kills" a person, she will have an extra hallucination.
In addition to Ye Jinfeng and Yang Bixin, the others also had their own diseases.
Ye Langqing, suffering from afterglow phobia.
There is social phobia, fear of social interaction, always curled up in a corner when the disease occurs.
Criminal investigation expert Nie Shan suffers from bipolar disorder, which is bipolar disorder.
During a manic attack, the mood is high, and in the case of a depressive attack, the mood is depressed, and the two states alternate repeatedly.
From this, we can see the deeper theme of the play -
Concern for mental illness.
Ye Jinfeng's multiple personalities and Wei Ruijie's psychopathy have a lot to do with their tragic childhood life.
Nie Shan's bipolar disorder had a negative impact on his life and work, and everyone blamed him more than understanding.
If Ye Jinfeng and Wei Ruijie had a happy childhood, if Nie Shan could get more understanding and tolerance, would the world be a better place?
While exploring these mental illnesses, The Criminal Investigation Diary explores multiple relationships.
For example, the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the workplace, Jiang Zhengxun's workplace bullying of subordinates has caused revenge among subordinates.
For example, the family affection in the family, Yang Bixin's family from resentment to reconciliation, when they reconciled, they also healed themselves.
For example, in the maintenance of the relationship between husband and wife, Nie Shan ignored his wife's feelings for various reasons, and thus lost his wife Liang Risi forever.
For example, how to continue the love of falling in love with a heavy personality, the love line in the play is undoubtedly heart-wrenching.
If the setting of "all the staff is sick" is dramatic,
That foothold in getting along with people makes this drama more grounded and more resonates with the audience.

When it comes to "Criminal Investigation Diary", it is impossible not to mention the explosion of the acting skills of all the staff.
Ye Jinfeng, played by Wang Haoxin, has a fourfold personality.
He not only had to perform Ye Jinfeng's cheerfulness and liveliness, but also zhu Jie's calm and calm.
He has to play both the youthfulness of 14-year-old Matt and the sophisticated frivolity of middle-aged man Michael.
To distinguish between Ye Jinfeng and Zhu Jie, we can borrow clothes and props.
But to distinguish Matt from Michael and Ye Jinfeng, you can only pass through Wang Haoxin's acting skills.
In the last episode, the four-fold personality appears one after another, and just by looking at Wang Haoxin's expression, we can easily tell who they are.
Nie Shan, played by Jiang Haowen, the difficulty of this role lies in the resonance of the character's emotions.
I have to say that Nie Shan learned of the crying scene of his wife's death and the crying scene in front of her grave, and anyone who watched it was emotional.
Hui Yinghong's acting skills need not be said.
Yang Bixin, who she plays, is sometimes a mother who loves her children, sometimes a patient who is afraid of seeing hallucinations, and sometimes a criminal suspect with a sinister face.
In the play, Red Sister not only showed the acting skills of changing her face for a second, but also staged her own fine drama of pinching herself.
Today, although the Criminal Investigation Diary is coming to an end, it is still addictive.
The last episode leaves too many questions.
What exactly did Yang Bixin lie about? How can Ye Jinfeng's fourfold personality coexist peacefully?
What will Michael's personality do? What is the story of his past?
Who is the real culprit in the ghost leg break? What ulterior secrets is Dr. Zhang Xiaoman hiding?
I have to say that the first season has not officially ended, and the audience can't wait to watch the second season!
