Lack of suspense is reflected in two aspects, one of which is vision. In the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, houses with white walls and gray tiles, octagonal pavilions hidden by green willows, and the Kunqu Opera team making baby babies. The picture is beautiful and occasionally gloomy. With literary style, suspense is almost interesting.
On the other hand, what kind of suspense drama is a good suspense drama? Shakespeare's famous saying answered this question: A thousand audiences have a thousand Hamlets.
Refer to "Nightmare in the East" and "Monster", which have high reputation, probably from a case. Players and spectators in the play want to solve the case quickly, and the result can be slightly out of line, but the process must have a sense of "cool" ...

The important thing is that it seems that the director loves filming this, and the shortcomings of these parents are the real focus! The performance of these actors is even very good, both delicate and tense. However, isn't this a mystery?
Conclusion If this drama is classified as a family ethics drama with literary temperament and suspense elements, the impression and evaluation may be much better than now. Douban 6.0, such a score, in my opinion, is largely the resentment of the audience after their expectations of an excellent suspense work have failed. Of course, there are other problems, such as the acting gap between young actors and middle-aged actors. ...
