In the blink of an eye, 2020 is already halfway over.

Affected by the epidemic, there were no movies in the first half of the year, and the TV series industry also ushered in spring.

Not only are online dramas rising in type and quality, but TVB, which we were very familiar with in childhood, has also achieved very good results in ratings.

Among the dramas that have been aired so far, several dramas have received good ratings and reputation. Fans of Laogang dramas were really moved to tears after watching them.

Okay, without further ado, let me take stock of the top 5 ratings of TVB dramas in the first half of 2020, and see if there are any dramas you stayed up late to catch up on:

Although the Douban score remained at 8.0 in the end and the ratings ranked fifth with 26.5, the beginning of this drama was very good.

The play mainly tells the story of a murder case eighteen years ago, but the ultimate murderer behind the scenes was hiding in the dark, gradually killing everyone who knew the case one by one.

The plot of the whole drama is quite rich and the pace is fast. Doubts have been thrown up one after another from the beginning. With so many smoke bombs, it is really impossible to guess who the real murderer is.

Moreover, the characters in the play are very distinct. The male protagonist Tan Junyan is also surprisingly lovable in the play, and the mute girl Yang Xiuhui is even more impressive.

Because of this, the rating of "The Ultimate Confession Eighteen Years Later" on Douban once jumped to the top three among word-of-mouth dramas.

But unfortunately, as the plot unfolds little by little, the follow-up trend of this drama is a bit unfinished.

The first 14 episodes revolved around the truth of the unsolved case, but the last 6 episodes suddenly turned into a collection of black male protagonists and dog food, which suddenly made people feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, overall, this drama is still very good. If the number of episodes can be controlled to about 16 episodes, maybe the ratings and ratings will be better?

It is actually quite unexpected that "Big Sauce Garden" received an average rating of 28 points.

This drama is a typical TVB routine drama with a period drama background. It revolves around a century-old brand in the Foshan soy sauce industry and a story of various overt and covert conflicts caused by poisonous soy sauce.

This includes the older generation’s idea of ??passing on the male protagonist rather than the female protagonist. One of the male and female protagonists is rich and the other is poor, one loves to play and the other is studious. There are also the second male who loves the female protagonist and the second female who loves the female protagonist. The male protagonist, the male protagonist's family is in trouble, the female protagonist shoulders a heavy burden, and of course there is a happy ending.

Watching the whole drama, there are both routines and counter-tropes, and it feels like a return to the glorious era of Hong Kong period dramas.

And judging from the cast, with young actors such as Zhu Chenli, He Guangpei, Gong Jiaxin, and Wu Yekun plus veteran actors such as Wu Dairong and Gong Cien, almost all the actors are really good at acting.

In particular, the on-screen pairing of male and female protagonists He Guangpei and Zhu Chenli can be said to be deeply loved by fans of the drama.

But it is a pity that this time the two people were overshadowed by the second female lead played by Gong Jiaxin.

Although Gong Jiaxin’s role in the play makes people hate it, but it is really good-looking!

Before "Conquering the Demon 2.0" was launched, no one thought it would be so successful.

After all, most TV series have a common problem: the sequel is bound to suck.

Therefore, "Conquering the Demons 2.0" appeared with a score of 8.3 on Douban and 29 points in ratings, and it is likely to become the most successful sequel in the history of TVB.

"The Devil" premiered in 2017 and won unanimous praise from the audience. After three years of waiting for the second season, I didn’t expect that the quality of the drama has improved instead of falling. It’s amazing!

As a sequel, "The Devil 2.0" not only retains the original cast of the first film, but also the newcomers who join are also remarkable.

In terms of story, "The Demon Conqueror 2.0" continues the story of the first season. With the previous film telling the story of Xiao Ma becoming a demon conqueror, the unfolding of the first episode of the second part can be said to be a seamless connection. In one season, I started to conquer the demons directly.

Screenwriter Luo Pei has the first part of the series and the critically acclaimed "Golden Night Mansion". The story she writes is unexpected and twists and turns, and the screenwriter is very good at creating famous quotes.

Also, this drama appears to be a story about conquering demons, but in fact it involves love, family affection, and friendship. It can also cleverly turn horror into warmth, and talk about supernatural beings as worldly sentiments. Very impressive.

"Airport SWAT", which was originally scheduled to be broadcast on Double Eleven in 2019, was finally broadcast after "Forensic Pioneer".

Since its broadcast, the show has received a lot of praise for its compact plot and distinctive characters. It finally ranked second in the first half of the year with an average rating of 33.2 points.

This result, let alone the first half of 2020, is considered a very good result even if it is considered among TVB dramas in the past five years.

"Airport SWAT" is a criminal investigation drama with a special theme, starring the Hong Kong Airport SWAT Unit (ASU). It was triggered by an airport robbery. A suspect escaped and caused a serious traffic accident. , four off-duty police officers happened to arrive at the airport and participated in the arrest operation.

A year later, these four people applied for ASU together. The four new special police officers and a group of old people continued to produce sparks at work, the old and the new alternated, and the teachings were mutually reinforcing. Everyone encounters different accidents and situations while on duty, and sees all the joys and sorrows...

Because of the freshness of the subject matter and the all-muscular handsome guys in the show, this ratings should be easy to understand.

However, the acting skills of the young actors in the drama are really worth mentioning. Their acting skills are all passable, which also adds a lot of points to the drama.

In fact, it is not surprising that "Forensic Pioneer 4" can win the ratings championship in the first half of the year. From the beginning of preparation, casting, to filming and final broadcast to completion, "Forensic Pioneer" 4》has always maintained a high popularity.

After all, as one of the most classic professional police and gangster drama series in the hearts of a generation of Hong Kong drama fans, it is the White Moonlight in the hearts of many people!

"Forensic Pioneer 4" premiered on Jade Channel on February 17. The first episode achieved a live TV rating of 33 points, with more than 2.15 million viewers watching, breaking the series premiere record in the past eight years. It became the first episode of a drama series with the highest live ratings since 2012.

Even after the show ended, the show broke TVB's ratings record in the past ten years with an average ratings of 36.3 points.

However, it has to be said that as the final work of the "Forensic Pioneer" series, "Forensic 4" disappoints.

There are 30 episodes in the whole drama. Not only is there almost no case that can withstand scrutiny, but every case is solved easily with high technology, which is too casual.

And after watching it, there is not even an impressive case left. Compared with "Forensic Pioneer 3", which is also a major overhaul, at least there is one case that almost makes people pee." "Girl with Sky Eyes".

Not only the plot and the method of solving the case, but also the emotional scenes in the drama have lost the original flavor of Hong Kong drama. No wonder it is being criticized like crazy.

Not to mention that the couples in the play have no sense of romance at all, and the emotional lines just come and go. There are no details to guide the emotional sublimation. How can people have feelings for each other?

Winning the ratings but losing the reputation is "Forensic Pioneer 4".

And its Douban score has dropped from 7.8 when it first aired to 5.1 today. We really don’t want to watch a sequel with poor quality.

The above are the top five dramas broadcast by TVB in the first half of 2020. Leaving aside "Forensic Pioneer 4", which has the highest ratings but a poor reputation, the Hong Kong dramas in the first half of the year seem to be in the script. Both the actors and actresses gave us another surprise.

What is worth celebrating is that our very favorite actors such as Kevin Cheng, Linda Chung, Sam Chen-hsuan, Xuan Xuan, Luo Zhongqian, Hui Yinghong, etc. have also chosen to return home to film dramas for TVB again.

In the next six months, TVB will also have several large-scale Hong Kong dramas to be broadcast, such as "Criminal Investigation Diary", "Walker 3", and "Sister Tuoqiang 2020".

It seems that we have finally waited for the rise of TVB again~
