What are the reviews for "Eclipse Storm"? Does it look good?

"Eclipse Storm", jointly created by Youku Video and Media Asia Media, is online, but there are not many episodes currently played, so there is no rating on Douban yet. But because I have a VIP, I watched a few more episodes. If it were a perfect score, I would give it a 7.8, which is considered to be in the upper middle range. After all, the actors in it include Julian Cheung, Fiona Sit, etc.

"Eclipse Storm" tells the story of Ling Feng, played by Zhang Zhilin, and Fan Yi, played by Wang Yangming, who were originally a pair of good brothers and good policemen on the anti-drug front line. However, due to their interests, the two pursued different goals. The development routes are different, some are loyal and some are traitorous. Ling Feng, played by Julian Cheung, sticks to justice and the inspector, played by Sit Kai-chi, has been tracking down drug dealers and sticks to justice; but Fan Yi, played by Wang Yangming, is driven by profit to bow to evil forces. The story unfolds on this main line, with many other elements added to it.

A brief analysis of what is good about the drama "Eclipse Storm" and what are its shortcomings?

First of all, the choice of the main actors of this drama is good: the male lead is Julian Cheung, who has not appeared on the small screen for a long time, the female lead is Sit Kai-chi, and the corresponding supporting roles include Tony Leung, Wang Yangming, Faces we are all familiar with such as Liang Jingqi, and veteran Hong Kong drama actors such as Luo Jiaying and Hui Siu-hung have also joined. This gives everyone a lot of expectations for this drama. After all, actors are like the brand names of a drama, and good actors will have good quality guarantees.

Furthermore, this drama has the same feel as old Hong Kong dramas, involving several elements that were often used in previous Hong Kong dramas such as police and robbers, drug trafficking, gangs, gun battles, undercover agents, and love. The recipe is still the same, but the taste is different. This drama continues several elements commonly used in the older generation of Hong Kong dramas, but it has a new feeling for everyone because of its different production methods. This drama has changed the production method of previous Hong Kong dramas. This time, it cooperates with the website and Media Asia, and is jointly produced by the mainland and Hong Kong, making this drama even more interesting.

Another reason why I am optimistic about this drama is that the characters in this drama are not so single in their emotional direction. The emotional complexity of the characters is the highlight of a drama. When you can see through a person at a glance, it proves that the drama is not a good drama, it is too single. But this drama is not like that. Each character has many stories, including trust, betrayal, undercover, and many complicated emotions, so it is interesting to watch.

What’s wrong with this show? Mainly due to the shortcomings of the plot, coupled with the shortcomings of individual actors.

The first climax at the beginning was when Ling Feng and Fan Yi, played by Julian Cheung, escorted the drug lord back to Malaysia. Unexpectedly, they were jailed so easily, and an Interpol from Noda also resisted. Just a few local snakes? And during the gunfight, you will see a few extras shooting, and there are also individual gang shots. Furthermore, I feel that Fiona Sit is a bit unable to support the role of the heroine. It would be great if Charmaine Sheh plays the role instead. Sit Kai-chi lacks a domineering spirit, her acting skills are still lacking, and there are some irregularities in the plot of this drama.

But overall, the advantages of this drama outweigh the disadvantages, and it is still worth watching.
