Review: Popular Drama 'Derailment' Receives Positive Feedback, Surpassing 'Invisible God'
The popular drama series "Derailment" premiered on Tencent Video with ten episodes, and it has garnered a lot of criticism from viewers amidst its popularity. The male actor's acting skills are subpar, and the plot is cliché. Despite being attracted by the actress Zhao Lusi, viewers found the storyline difficult to comprehend. The characterization of the male protagonist is frustrating, as he not only fails to recognize his benefactor but also mistakes the female supporting character for his lover. Additionally, the supporting actors' performances were lacking, and the portrayal of the antagonists was overly obvious, while the dubbing sounded peculiar.
It is truly perplexing why they gave a newborn mythical creature such a voice, as if the female lead's drama always includes dialects and exaggerated vocal expressions, as if that's all she's capable of. However, in the subsequently aired drama series "Derailment" on Youku, viewers expressed that they became increasingly engrossed in the show. "Derailment," starring Liu Haocun and Lin Yi, received positive feedback.
Liu Haocun has portrayed various types of roles since her debut, and her ability to depict emotional transformations with delicacy and smoothness is unquestionable. Netizens also commented that they watched all four episodes of "Derailment" with bullet subtitles, expecting unpleasant comments, but they were surprised to find that there were hardly any malicious remarks directed at Liu Haocun.
Numerous bullet comments praising Liu Haocun's beauty and acting skills floated by, leaving viewers feeling refreshed and proving that the audience's discernment is sharp. After watching the first two episodes of "Derailment," it's clear that this drama is extraordinary. The trailer seemed like a more clichéd version of "Love Magician," while the opening sequence resembled a crime suspense drama.
The first episode even had elements of a fantasy series, and then the plot unfolded with the confrontation between the rich heiress and the impoverished girl. Netizens were curious about how the drama managed to make each step feel like a completely independent project. They believed that the female lead's dialogue skills were decent, and she praised herself as a naturally talented actress, which might indeed be true. Moreover, at least her voice wasn't fake, cutesy, or overly childish, unlike Zhao Lusi's irritating tone. People concluded that this drama has gained viewers' favor. Although it doesn't have the same level of popularity as "Invisible God" starring Zhao Lusi, viewers expressed that they find "Derailment" more enjoyable. "Invisible God" made them lose interest as they continued watching, and they found the plot frustrating. Will the misunderstandings between the male and female leads be resolved, and will they end up together again?
The male lead killed the female lead twice, and yet she still chooses to forgive him. Such a plot is too cliché, and many expressed a lack of desire to continue watching. On the other hand, they enjoyed the suspenseful elements of "Derailment," and the chemistry between the male and female leads is also pleasing to the eye. Unlike the frustrating pace of "Invisible God," it seems like "Derailment" won't leave viewers feeling exasperated.
What do you think? Is "Invisible God" or "Derailment" more appealing to you? Do you think the popularity of "Derailment" will surpass that of "Invisible God"?
