First review of 10 new dramas including Medley061~Oguri Shundahe

3rd weekend of January, everyone.

The sun came out two days ago, I was drying clothes on the balcony, and I was shocked when I heard the sound of an air conditioner outside the neighbor's house running at full speed. There is no unified heating in winter in Shanghai. I remember that when I was a child, I didn’t have or could not install dual-purpose air conditioners at home. In summer, I turned on fans and sleeping door panels. Man, it's still cold outside the fan area. Up to now, I still never turn on the air conditioner in winter, which can be regarded as a sign of life.

• The global epidemic has re-emerged, and infections in Europe and the United States have hit new highs. South Korea has never stopped. Japan's "sixth wave" has also spread from the city where the US military base is located. The third dose to strengthen the speed of needle penetration, the trade-off between blockade and economy is the most critical issue at the moment.
• WBS introduced a think tank's "Top Ten Risks in the World in 2022", remember to come to verify the prophecy next year.

Japanese drama world

※Always※

• This week, more than 10 new dramas have been launched one after another. First, let's talk about the NHK annual drama "13 retainers of Kamakura" starring Shun Oguri and scripted by Koki Mitani. The background of the story is set in the "Middle Ages" in Japan, followed by Kenichi Matsuyama's "Ping Qingsheng". With the strong appeal of Mitani, Cass is extremely gorgeous. Sangu has also subverted many Dahe drama traditions, using the Arabic numeral "13" in the title of the play, the protagonist has no childhood stage, fixed the character name, weakened the dialect... The EP1 subtitle "Big Little Conflict" hits the nail on the head. , How Sangu's emphasis on small details and small tastes is combined with big history and big joys and sorrows will be the key to the success of this play. For example, Eiko Koike's performance is exaggerated and abrupt, and the sense of proportion of the main creator and the psychological expectations of the audience need to be adjusted.

• "FIGHT SONG" EP1, "Countdown Love" Okada Megumi's new work, Kiyohara Goya, who stepped down as the morning heroine, formed a triangular relationship with Mamiya Shotaro and Kikuchi Kazuma, involving music, karate, housekeeping and other industries. Most of the first week was spent laying the groundwork for the protagonist's life experience. The crying scene at the end was remarkable, and the performance was very convincing. As a Japanese translator, I can deeply understand the mood of the people in the play, and the response to the creator is too weak and too short-lived.

• "Month 9" and "Don't Talk About Suspense" starring Masaki Suda exceeded expectations. The combination of the main cast is quite innovative, and I am happy for Sally Ito's dazzling results. EP1 discussed "truth and facts", "rights and obligations", and after the murder case came to light, he also attacked the hypocrisy of revenge.

• Different from the first two seasons of Kasumi Arimura and Ryosuke Takeuchi, "The Crew of Takanosuke Kamiki" seems to be taking a relatively strange and dark path. EP1 invited Anda Yushi, who was also a child star debut, to show the "occupational injury" that cannot distinguish between reality and fiction, a typical "brain hole" novel writing.

• "Two People Who Don't Love" EP1, NHK's late-night drama, Takahashi Life cooperates with Kishii Yukino, the drama focuses on the minority group of "asexuality", and the plot uses the "fake couple, fake marriage" model, the look and feel is acceptable .
• "Forty Away" EP1, a late-night drama on Tokyo TV, Yamaguchi Sayaka's collaboration with Itagaki Li Guangren, a middle-aged cartoonist and an 18-year-old male assistant's cheating story, the atmosphere is well created, and the characters' motives are not too clear.

• "So I Can't Do It" EP1, a social drama series starring Tamaki Hiroshi, trying to save the newspaper company's declining reporters involved in serial murders, WOWOW's consistent style.
• "Gossip" EP1, starring Kuroki Hua, and male Cass invited Masanobu Ando, Junpei Mizota, and Shuhei Nomura. It is still the formula of weirdness + team + favor, and is temporarily listed in the observation area.
• In EP1 of "Reckless Action", Takahata Mitsuki plays the company secretary who is content with the status quo. He is pushed to the front line by the boss Shota Matsuda, who "thinks what to do", and works with Jun Zhizun to overcome all difficulties and renovate the French restaurant.
• The NHK drama starring Yasuda Xian became the "First Abandonment" in the winter season. This role was completely unable to play Yasuda Xian's personal charm, wrong casting.

※Continued review※

• "Let's Come Together" W9 & 10, Eri Fukatsu has several emotional scenes with Odakirio and Kazama Shunsuke this week. JOE sat down and said the first sentence and guessed the origin of RUI's name. Yuuki Fujimoto's wonderful writing brought tears to his eyes. The screenwriter also quoted O'Henry's novel to pave the way for the story, emphasizing how difficult it is for people to understand and understand each other, and that misunderstanding and mismatch are the normal state of life.

• "Live Again" EP4-5, only to find out that the laundry shop couple in "Let's Come Together" is also a husband and wife team in this play. NHK often uses this kind of scenery and Cass's horizontal borrowing. The story is multi-faceted and sincere in emotion, arousing the audience's attention to the "8050 Crisis".

※Review※

• "JIN Renyi" S2EP2-4 tells two stories, one long and one short. "The Poisoning of the Harmony Palace" leads to the appearance of all beings in the prison. Ye Feng marries a different person to save Nanfang Ren. Treat yourself as your own child; "Songping Tumor Chapter" introduces elements of blood type and blood transfusion, the end of the kernel disappears without a trace, the dragon horse is attacked, and the tension rises. The unforgettable part of Saki's rejection of Ren, she finally waited for the moment of "getting married", but Saki saw her own higher and grander mission, which just proved that she and Ren were equal.
• "Even so, life goes on" EP8, Zhen Qi fell to the ground, Wen Zai fled. The most exciting part of this episode is the century-old rival scene between the "mother" Otake Shinobu and the "perpetrator" Shunsuke Kazama who took away her daughter, full of tension, emotion and conflict.

• "Women's Family" 2021SP, Taiwan Asahi remakes this work of Yamazaki Toyko, a 3-hour TV movie with two nights of SP. In the turmoil of competition between traditional Japanese business giants, the plot is advancing layer by layer, and the climax is repeated. There is no "mutual reward and slap" bridge that TVB regards as a family heirloom. As a digression, with the decline of the Japanese imperial family, whether a "female emperor" or a "female emperor" is allowed to ascend the throne has become a major focus of public opinion recently.
• The Witcher S2 is over. The narrative is much more straightforward than last season. The theme is the self-exploration of Ciri and Yennefer. The climax is the battle between a group of wizards and ancient dragons, and the mystery of Ciri's life experience is also revealed at the last moment. Geralt rejected Triss head-on in the play. After all, stepping on two boats in the original game would only usher in the bad ending of "old age alone". In addition, is the "Lesbian" scene of the mage Fingera and the elf female leader newly added to the series? People of color and LGBT are political correctness right now.
• Re-watching David Fincher's "Seven Deadly Sins", I tasted some fatalism, only pessimistic about the deep-rooted problems of modern society.
• Marvel's "Eternals" has an amazing reputation for ordinary visual effects, and its explanation of human civilization can be regarded as self-evident. Angelina Jolie wears a white gauze dress and enters the water in a beautiful and gentle scene.

• Image Century ⑤ The appearance of hell, the bloody display of the tragic World War II, the ordinary people under European air raids, the experience of Jews, the Pacific battlefield and the atomic bomb...

• Faye Wong released 4 albums in a row in 1994, 2 in Cantonese were "Crazy Thoughts" and "Pleasure Yourself", which was a reborn transformation in music. First of all, Faye Wong officially abandoned her stage name "Wang Jingwen", symbolizing her return to her true self attitude from commercial packaging; secondly, the style of music is more experimental and more psychedelic, such as love songs. Doubt about love, life and the separation of Buddhism; third, Lin Zhouxia, Lin Xi suddenly increased from one or two songs per album to four or five, replacing Zhou Limao's "main KEY" position; fourth, Faye Wong's preference The "two-character song title" of ' began to appear in large numbers.

• Lin Xi arranged 5 songs in "Random Thoughts": 2 songs covered from Cocteau Twins set the tone for this period, the title song "Random Thoughts" appeared with Buddhist elements for the first time, "Knowing Oneself and Knowing the Other" uses ethereal falsetto singing; "Pure Love" sings Out of doubt about love, "Who wants to listen to who wants to hear more about modern love", "Sleepwalking" has the iconic singing style "laerlaerlaer".
• Lin Xi wrote 4 songs in "Pleasure Yourself": "Gone with the Wind" was composed for the first time by Zhang Yadong, which also has a strong Buddhist meaning.

• The three songs that Faye Wong and Dou Wei collaborated on blew a breath of fresh air, and the lyrics were criticized.
• Huang Weiwen's "Doing Wrong" personally also likes it very much, and the words are quite delicate.
• Listening now, the cover of the golden songs in Mandarin such as "The Most Romantic Thing", "How Much Love Can Be Repeated" and "Good Intentions" undoubtedly destroyed the integrity of the album, and was the cage and shackle that Faye Wong wanted to break free of all the way.
