The Japanese drama "Favorite" recently began broadcasting. Just by looking at the name, everyone will think that this is a love drama, but in fact, it is a crime suspense drama. As soon as the series began broadcasting, it received a lot of praise, becoming the most replayed episode in the history of TBS Japanese dramas, and also received a high score of 9.0 on Douban.
The main creative lineup of this drama is strong, the director is the famous Ayuko Tsukahara, in addition to "Unnatural Death", she has also filmed high-scoring masterpieces such as "Reprinted Out", "Tokyo Grand Hotel", "Mobile Search Team 404"; screenwriter Sadoko Okutera is also quite promising, her works have three-dimensional character images and distinct story themes; in addition, the series also has super strong casts with acting skills and appearances on the line - Yuriko Yoshitaka, Shin Iura, Matsushita Hohei, Yakuzaru Hiroko, Kyoshi ishiki, Mitsune Hiroshi Kawa, Naomi Tanakami, It gives people the illusion of dreaming back to the Japanese drama "For N". Some netizens very aptly called the play "the director of "Unnatural Death" and the team of "For N", using "Your Name." ", the way it was filmed, the script of Keigo Higashino style was filmed".
Yuriko Yoshitaka plays Sanada Ichiyo , president of a new drug development company ( hereinafter referred to as "Ichiya " ) in the play , because she is involved in a murder case , she is taken by the police for questioning, interrogating her criminal police is her first love When she was a student , Miyazaki Daiki ( hereinafter referred to as "Daiki " ), and then involved in a murder case 15 years ago, and the tangled and confusing plot has since unfolded.
The beginning of the series has a similar "recipe" to "For N", and it is also a common way of opening Japanese dramas - the male protagonist Dahui tells a memory that is about to be forgotten with a low narration, and the camera constantly switches with his narration, both the documentary-like Japanese town scenery and the growth clip of the male and female protagonistShuangmei Bamboo Horse 15 years ago, and the audience seems to experience his green years with Dahui's perspective. No, as soon as the painting style changed, a set of dark and slightly bloody shots appeared- in the heavy rain, the beautiful Li Yang calmly pulled up his hair with his blood-stained hands. The short shots not only reveal the crime, but also set the tone of the suspense of the play.
The narrative of the first episode is not flat and direct, but skillfully creates an atmosphere of suspense. 15 years ago, Li Yang was suspected of being drugged during a celebration banquet, the perpetrator disappeared inexplicably, and a blood-stained team flag suddenly appeared in Li Yang's home, and she also had a brief amnesia. Through the fragments of memory that remained, she vaguely sensed some hidden facts, but did not dare to act rashly, and could only insist vaguely that "I don't know." The sudden death of his father, who said he would take care of everything, forced Li Yang to defect to his mother, and the idea of confessing to Dahui became a bubble due to a series of sudden changes.
Although there is a mystery, the play does not take a meticulous reasoning route, but the pull of the characters' emotions under the suspense is more attractive. Emotional drama is a major highlight of this drama, and the drama depicts the emotional entanglement between the male and female protagonists with sufficient pen and ink. 15 years ago, the two ignorant first love, after the change occurred, although they were heart-to-heart, but could not be together; 15 years later, the two reunited because of the case, facing the indifferent Li Yang, Dahui insisted on bringing her back to the sun. Yuriko Yoshitaka contributed wonderful acting skills in the play: 15 years ago, sweet and ignorant, after experiencing changes, in the face of the confession of liking boys, her eyes revealed complex emotions that were both happy and sad; 15 years later, the cold and resolute, in the face of the male protagonist's inquiry, the slightly trembling eyelashes and slightly uneasy fingers revealed the true emotions in her heart.
The scene is quite ingenious. The director used a large number of oblique shots to bring the audience a sense of instability, confusion and confusion, in order to show the abnormal mental state of the people in the play; when the heroine recalled the process of being violated, the incandescent lamp shaking above her head made the shadow on the heroine's face change continuously, effectively amplifying her panic and nervousness at this time; the heroine ran to her mother, and when she entered the enterprise building, a large number of overhead shots showed the heroine's weakness and helplessness; in the elevator, the positions of the mother, brother and lawyer formed a "hunting" trend for the heroine. It also hints at the relationship between the characters and the state of the heroine.
At present, the show has aired three episodes, who is the murderer, and where the story will go, it is very exciting.
