2024 is about to pass halfway in the blink of an eye, and there are many popular TV series in June.
The very interesting "The Story of the Rose", the cool plot "Ink Rain and Clouds", the first aircraft carrier-based aircraft theme "Sea and Sky Eagle", and "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", which has been remade many times.
The first half of 2024 is really a high-yield TV series, in addition to the TV series that are now on the air, there are dozens of dramas that have ended.
Today, we will list the top 10 TV series that have been completed and are highly discussed, according to the Douban score.
Do you see if it matches the ranking you have in mind?
10th place: "South to North" 7.2
"South to North" was launched three days before Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and it premiered on CCTV 8.
As the opening drama of 2024, its crew is very strong.
The directors are Zheng Xiaolong, who has directed "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Golden Wedding", and Liu Zhangmu, the director of "Icebreaker".
The screenwriter is Gao Mantang, and you may not be familiar with the name, but you must have seen his drama.
There are "Breaking through the Guandong", "The North Wind That Blows", "Old Farmer", etc., and there are many period dramas.
The storyline of "South to North" is developed in two parallel lines, with the story on the train and in the compound advancing at the same time, spanning forty years.
And the general tone of the play is comedy, and the age of the leading actors selected also covers most of the age groups in society.
During the Chinese New Year, the family sat together and watched and chatted, which was very pleasant.
is Jin Chen's "Internet celebrity face" and Ma Kui's death.
and finally Niu Dali took his daughter-in-law to meet Yao Yuling, who was once glamorous but is now selling barbecue.
has become several major complaints about this show.
Ninth place: "Walking with the Phoenix" 7.2
"Walking with the Phoenix" was launched in mid-March this year and was broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV.
From the filming to the finalization of this drama, there have been a lot of discussions among netizens.
After all, it is based on a novel, and it already has its own traffic and fans.
The director is also the director of "Son-in-law", "Da Feng Beat the Guard", and Deng Ke, the director of "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World", which is being broadcast.
The starring roles are Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin, who have already partnered in "The Legend of Chu Qiao".
Zhao Liying is also the executive producer of this drama, and discussed the adaptation of the plot and the details of the costume scenery with the director and producer before filming.
"Walking with the Phoenix" has been the "king of topics" since the beginning of the broadcast, and they are also very good at grasping the psychology of the audience.
made the audience immediately think of the regret that in the final finale of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", Yu Wenyue was not rescued after falling into the water, so there was immediately a hot search "Yu Wenyue fished up".
is that some viewers in the back of this drama think that the post-filter and dermabrasion are too serious, eating up a lot of micro-expression details of the actors.
and the figure of the actor Lin Gengfu, which is the point of the audience's complaints.
Eighth place: "The Boy Who Can't See the Shadow" 7.2
"The Boy Who Can't See the Shadow" was launched in early June this year, and it just ended not long ago, and the broadcast platform is on iQiyi.
Because of the explosion of "The Hidden Corner" in the past two years, as well as the broadcast of "The Long Season" last year, the audience has higher requirements for suspense dramas.
In addition, the actors Zhang Songwen and Rong Zishan in "The Hidden Corner" joined "The Boy Who Can't See the Shadow", which made the audience's expectations for this drama even fuller.
After the broadcast, the popularity of this drama is also very high, coupled with the director's control of suspense colors, the audience is still looking forward to the plot later.
Zhang Songwen's performance is still online, and the delicate performance immerses the audience in the plot. The body language shown by Rong Zishan also clearly shows the inner contradictions of the characters.
even the plot focused on the social topic "abduction", and then CCTV Entertainment issued a post praising "The Boy Who Can't See the Shadow".
It's just that the plot of the TV series collapsed a little at the end, and the suspense pit dug before was not filled at the end, which is a bit anticlimactic.
Seventh place: "Celebrating More Than Years 2" 7.2
"Celebrating More Than Years 2" was launched in mid-May this year, broadcast on CCTV 8, and just ended some time ago.
The broadcast of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" has been 5 years since the last season, and the broadcast of the plot has also allowed the audience to see the strength of the "drama king".
Explosive stalks are frequent, and every day there are entries and articles about "Celebrating More Than Years 2" on the Internet, and the ratings and popularity are rising every day, breaking one platform historical record after another.
starring Zhang Ruoyun from the first season's "Danzhou chubby face" to the second season's "elegant noble son", the image has changed a lot.
There are also some important plots in the novel that are also presented in the play, such as the Spring Expedition, the Hanging Temple Assassination, and the appearance of Ye Liuyun, one of the four great masters.
The exciting plots are really one after another, and the audience is overwhelmed.
Even on the video platform, there are too many advertisements and too long, which has caused many complaints, and the actor who plays Ye Linger has been replaced by Jin Chen, which has also suffered a lot of controversy.
6th place: "If Running is My Life" 7.5
"If Running Is My Life" was launched on January 11 this year, and it was first broadcast on CCTV 8, which is a TV series of great practical significance.
The starring roles of this drama are Zhong Chuxi, Yang Chaoyue, Xu Di, and Chen Xiaoyi, showing two pairs of mother and daughter, and two families with different attitudes in the face of adversity in life.
In this drama, Chen Xiaoyi and Yang Chaoyue, the mother and daughter, are now a typical mother-daughter relationship.
If the daughter wants to get rid of her mother's control, she will "reverse her mother" and switch back to the way her mother treats her daughter.
This "reverse mother" is also what everyone wants to discuss, whether it can be a solution to the asymmetry of the relationship between mother and daughter.
The most popular sentence "You are really hungry" some time ago is from the drama "If Running is My Life".
After Cheng Anxin, played by Zhong Chuxi, lost his legs in a car accident, her husband chose a junior, who is old and in poor shape, which is also one of the major features of the play.
I thought it was because the director wanted to exaggerate his performance, but after reading the comment area, I realized that this is a fact in reality and is not out of reality.
Fifth place: "Spring Sends Lover" 7.7
"Spring Sending Lover" was launched in April this year, and it was also broadcast on CCTV 8.
This drama is adapted from the novel "Lover", starring Li Xian, Zhou Yutong, and Liu Lin.
I feel that as long as it is Teacher Liu Lin's drama, there is no drama with poor evaluation or low rating, and it just won't get the award it deserves.
"Spring Sending Lover" is a slow-tone work, and the protagonists of this drama are not the male and female protagonists in the traditional sense.
Chen Maidong, played by Li Xian, is a body plastic surgeon, and Zhuang Jie, played by Zhou Yutong, is a medical device salesman who has lost his right calf. are all "marginal people" in society.
But through the male and female protagonists and their friends and family around them, these group portraits show the warmth of humanity in society, and ordinary people can also have their own happiness.
Fourth place: "Wind Chaser" 7.8
"Wind Chaser" was broadcast in late March this year, and the premiere was on CCTV 8, which is a very small number of financial-themed TV series, and it is the only spy war drama on iQiyi that has exceeded 10,000.
This drama is through the growth process of the little man Wei Ruolai (played by Wang Yibo) to show the audience the decline and rise of modern industry and commerce.
And the other characters in this drama are all serving the character of Wei Ruolai, even if the financial knowledge is very complicated, but through Wei Ruolai's growth, the audience can clearly understand the mystery.
"Wind Chaser" is also different from previous spy war dramas, the positive and negative are all IQ online, and the success or failure of every incident is a clash of brains, and no one will let anyone.
Including the lines of Wei Ruolai's speech in the play, it also became the background sound of the video of cultural tourism in various places at that time, which was very shocking.
The focus of "The Wind Chaser" is on modern business, because of this drama, everyone understands that the difficulties encountered by our party at that time are not only in the war of guns, but also in the business war, and it is really to learn a lot of stories that are not clearly shown in books.
3rd place: "Thank you for warming me" 7.9
"Thank You for Warming Me" was broadcast in early March this year, and the broadcast platform was CCTV 8.
The starring roles of this drama are Li Landi, Lin Yi, Sun Tianyu, etc., and it tells the story of the male protagonist Lin Tuo who was diagnosed with ALS, and the heroine An Zhique as his girlfriend and fought the disease with him.
"Thank You for Warming Me" does not have the cliché and bloody storylines of the past, but the plot unfolds with a very gentle rhythm.
In the face of illness, the male protagonist Lin Tuo gave up and struggled from the beginning, and with the help of his family, lovers, and friends, he gradually got out of the trouble, and actively faced the illness with them and felt the beauty of life.
Second place: "The Years of the Great River are Like a Song" 8.0
"The Years of the Great River" was broadcast in early January this year, and it was also premiered on CCTV 8.
The chief director is Kong Sheng, who is also the director of well-known dramas such as "Mountains and Seas", "Crossing the Guandong" and "Parents' Love", and the starring lineup is still Wang Kai, Yang Shuo, and Dong Zijian of "Big River".
This drama is also the final chapter of "Big River", which also focuses more on the growth and development of characters, and promotes the development of society through every outstanding individual.
It connects individuals and society and shows the social characteristics of the mainland.
1st place: "My Altay" 8.9
"My Altay" was broadcast in early May this year and premiered on CCTV.
The starring roles are Ma Yili, Zhou Yiyi, Yu Shi, Jiang Qiming, etc.
The director of this drama is a female director Teng Congcong, who also directed the movie "Send Me to Qingyun".
The film was also shortlisted for the Directorial Debut Award at the Golden Rooster Award for Chinese Films, and won the Best Director Award at the Shanghai International Film Festival Asian New Farmer Award.
"My Altay" is still based on a collection of essays, but the director changed the plot to fit the characteristics of the TV series.
Not only that, but also the natural environment of Altay's grasslands, rivers, mountains and other natural environments is very ornamental.
Therefore, it has also led to the development of local tourism and made people feel the charm of nature.
Ma Yili subverted her former image in this drama, and really showed the free and chivalrous spirit of the characters.
epilogue
2024 is about to enter the second half of the year, and many film and television dramas are also being scheduled and finalized, ready to meet us.
As long as you put your heart into every TV series, the audience can feel it. Therefore, I also hope that the producers of film and television dramas can make good works and in-depth works with their hearts.
Do you remember the good TV series that left you in the first half of the year? Do you recognize the ranking of the above 10 TV series?
