Blossoms Shanghai: A Disappointing Basketball Drama Fails to Capture Authenticity

"Blossoms Shanghai" is a basketball drama series that generated high expectations, but it received widespread negative reviews from viewers upon its release. The consistent reason for the negative feedback was the lack of realism in the basketball game scenes. As a basketball fan and sports enthusiast myself, I was eagerly looking forward to watching this series. At first, I didn't fully agree with the viewers' criticism. After all, making a basketball drama involves many technical challenges, such as angle selection and editing.

However, the criticism turned out to be surprisingly unanimous: the basketball game scenes were deemed artificial and lacked authenticity. It was not only an insult to the basketball players but also to the intelligence of the audience. To better understand the reasons behind the negative reviews, I decided to interview a professional basketball player. John, the captain of a basketball team from a university, had in-depth knowledge and extensive experience in basketball. During the interview, John expressed his deep disappointment after watching "Blossoms Shanghai."

He said, "As a basketball player, I couldn't tolerate those absurd scenes. The level of skill displayed by the characters in the game was simply ridiculous and completely unrealistic. In a crucial moment of the game, I received a key pass opportunity. I was extremely nervous, but I managed to withstand the pressure and accurately score the basket. At that moment, the entire arena erupted with cheers, and I felt the audience's recognition and respect. It is these genuine emotions and scenes that give sports such as basketball a wide influence among the audience. Viewers want to see themselves reflected on the court and experience the passion and challenges. However, the artificial scenes presented in "Blossoms Shanghai" failed to meet the audience's expectations.
