"Liu Li": Feeling sad at the same time

Recently, I have become a fan of the fairy tale drama "Liu Li". I have long wanted to write about this drama that makes people knock their heads off. However, I still suppress my desire for convenience and wait until the drama is finished before I can summarize it.

As a fan of the original work, I have somewhat complicated feelings about the drama "Liu Li".

The original work "The Glazed Beauty" is one of my favorite fairy tales. When I read this novel many years ago, I was deeply attracted by it, and I still remember it until now.

When I learned that the novel was going to be remade, I was both looking forward to it and worried. It would be great if my favorite novel could be presented visually, but there were too many mistakes in the adaptation, so I was really worried about it being ruined.

When I first saw the actors and stills, I was a little disappointed. I felt like it was going to be ruined, and I didn't plan to watch it until it started airing.

I never expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

Many viewers who watched the show took it upon themselves to take advantage of it, which made "Liu Li" a little popular. As a fan of the original work, I couldn't help but watch it, but I didn't expect that I became addicted after watching it!

How long has it been since you've had this feeling that you can't stop feeling like you're on top?

It seems that the last drama was last year's "Chen Qing Ling".

So while I was thinking about the plot, I thought that I must write a good article to benefit it.

But with the completion of "Liu Li", in addition to the early stage, I still feel a little "regretful" in the later stage. Although it is not unfinished, it can actually be better, which is really a pity.

Let’s talk about the upper aspect of it first.

There have been a lot of fairy tale dramas in recent years. Why does "Liu Li" make people so happy?

Jushiro's "Liu Li Mei Ren Sha" was written in 2008. It can be regarded as an early female fairy tale novel. Based on the fairy tale setting, it tells the story of the heroine Chu Xuanji in the face of family, friendship, and love.

A story of continuous growth and finding yourself.

Although some of the plots and routines are now commonplace for us, in fact, its setting is based on the original fairy tale dramas such as "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", "Sweet Honey", and "Three Lives Three Worlds" that were popular in previous years.

of.

Therefore, "Liu Li" has a strong IP foundation from the beginning, with the ever-growing female protagonist Chu Xuanji, the affectionate and unrepentant male protagonist Yu Sifeng, and a story about search and growth, persistence and unrepentance, and the unintentional to the intentional.

Fairy tale.

Although "Liu Li" has made a lot of adaptations of the original work, the main plot still follows the original work, and some plots are even perfect restorations of the original work.

For example, in the first episode, Xuanji pinched the little Yinhua when she saw it, Si Feng stuttered and asked for it, and Xuanji playfully imitated Si Feng in speaking (this is the first time the two met in the original work).

For example, a few green young people went down the mountain to "pick flowers", get rid of vultures and rescue sharks.

Another example is in the later episodes, Xuanji is "looking for her husband thousands of miles away" accompanied by Teng She, and the conversation between Xuanji and Si Feng in the bamboo house after they get together.

These plots are exactly the same as in the book and are quite friendly to fans of the original work.

It has to be said that "Liu Li" fully grasps the audience's mentality: if the audience likes sweetness, then sprinkle more sugar; if there is too much sugar, are you afraid it will be too sweet?

Then let’s torture him a few more times; now that he’s got all the sweet and cruel things, let’s add some cheating to make him feel better!

Anyway, the audience just eats this "sweet-abusive-refreshing" routine.

When I say this drama is sweet, I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

The screenwriter added a lot of content and created sugar everywhere.

Especially in the first half, there are many famous scenes where the female protagonist is flirting without knowing it, and the male protagonist is particularly flirtatious, which made the audience say "it's amazing"!

A "silly white sweet" with incomplete six senses, and a "male Durban" banned Y-type academic master. The interaction between the two in the first half of the plot is really sweet. They keep sprinkling sugar to the audience. Not only the male protagonist Si Feng is confused

, we the audience are also so sweet... In addition to the pairing of Xuanji and Si Feng that we can't stop laughing at, there are also Linglong and Minyan, Linglong and Wutong, Zihu and Wuzhiqi... So sweet, you

Are you saying that the audience can’t kowtow to their heads?

To say this show is sadistic is to say that it is truly sadistic.

Different from the usual scenes where the female protagonist is tortured to the point of irritation, "Liu Li" does not show any mercy when it comes to torturing the male protagonist. It would not be wrong to say that the "beautiful, powerful and miserable" Yu Sifeng is the most miserable male protagonist in history.

Too much.

It can be said that the male protagonist has taken over the whole crew's blood. He vomits blood in every episode and is really mistreated!

Not only are the ordination, lover's curse, various injuries and other scenes that are so cruel that you vomit blood in the original work, but also the "ten-life love relationship" that was briefly mentioned in the original work, are also detailed in the play.

Although there is not much writing in each of the first nine lives, one can imagine a sadomasochistic drama.

The dancer and the piano player, the empress and the King of Letters, the doctor and the witch, the devil and the monster hunter... In every life, the male protagonist died for the female protagonist. He used his life as a bet, betting that she would remember him, but he didn't know that the female protagonist

He is a heartless person, and it was not until the tenth generation of Xuanji that flesh and blood emerged from Liuli's heart.

It can be said that the male protagonist "loses nine out of ten bets" and dyes the heroine's tenth life's wedding dress red with the blood of his nine previous lives.
