4.5/5 I am an out-and-out fan of Japanese dramas. Since Netflix officially announced the cast of this drama and the first trailer two months ago, I have begun to look forward to it until it goes live on April 4, after I officially watched the first episode. , I couldn't stop all the way, only the middle earthquake paused for a while XD, and it took one night to eat the full season 8 episodes. I have to say that this drama is very different from the Japanese dramas that are usually prepared by Japanese TV stations. Whether it is the subject matter, production scale, cast, scale, scenes, and visual effects, everything is something that local Japanese dramas have never tried and cannot easily try. Top build specs. The Japanese dramas that we are familiar with in the past, such as "Naoki Hansawa" and "Legal High", were almost all shot in repeated sets. However, this drama is different. There are almost no repeated sets in each episode. to the specifications of the movie. Following "AV Emperor", Netflix has upgraded again to create a high-profile Japanese drama that has never been seen before or has never come since. I have read countless Japanese dramas. , the script is still a bit lacking, but the world view setting of this is really attractive. How many chances are there to see an empty Tokyo? ◎ Easy-to-read version with pictures and text: https://puff0819.pixnet.net/blog/post/329319451 "Barrier of the Kingdom of Today" tells the story of Arizu, an old man who has nothing to do, and Zhang Tai, who has just been caught in a bar fire, and Zhang Tai, who has just escaped from work. , The world changed after leaving the toilet. In an empty Tokyo, only the three of them were left. In order to survive and return to the original world, they were forced to participate in one survival game after another, betting their lives on one another. After breaking the level and getting cards, they could continue their lives. However, the secrets of parallel time and space Tokyo also followed one human trial after another. Refinement, gradually revealed, Arisu is also in the game again and again, thinking about the meaning of life. There are 8 episodes in one season of this drama, and the length of each episode ranges from 40 to 50 minutes. Except for Yamazaki Kento, who has appeared in 8 episodes, the other cast members either appeared in the middle of the show, or received lunch boxes in the middle. Tsuchiya Taiho, who is listed with Yamazaki Kento, has a relationship with the plot setting. He appeared at the end of the first episode, was absent in the third episode, and officially became a regular team in the fourth episode. Basically, episodes 1 to 4 are the best in the whole drama, with a tight rhythm, and each episode has an unexpected survival game design; episodes 5 and 6 are slightly delayed until the Utopia beachfront, and I personally recommend 1. Watch at 25 times the speed; episodes 7 and 8 combine reasoning elements to design a more spacious trial of human nature in the Holocaust with a mysterious murder case. "Breakthrough of the Kingdom of Now" is like a mashup of "The Hunger Games" and "Battle Royale". The protagonists must pass the level within the time limit, and they must participate in the game again before the visa of the Kingdom of Now expires. Cards that prolong life, and the puzzle-solving process of each game and the human choice in the middle are a highlight of the show, especially the Heart 7 game designed in the third episode. The rules of the game that one person can survive is even more heartbreaking. From the original fight between the three friends to the completion and sacrifice of two of them at the end, the change in human nature in the middle is quite moving. "We all just want to survive, but rather than surviving on the last breath, it is perhaps the most worthy of the essence of being a human being with the dignity of the last human being to die." "Fans, seeing the sacrifice of Kanbu played by Keita Machida in the third episode, must be heartbroken. The sacrifices of Kanbu and Zhang Tai have allowed Arisu to survive. The human tug-of-war in the middle is the best portrayal of the 8 episodes. A moving episode. The OL girl Zibuki played by Aya Mizusaki joined the Arisu trio after the first game. The final sacrifice is also moving. The character itself is a pragmatist who sacrificed his body to keep climbing. He was originally running away in the game to protect Mingzhe. , until death is approaching, hugging and weeping with Mrs. Zhang, letting go of the attachment to survival, letting yourself no longer bear the burden of killing others, and changing to allow you to survive. The final sacrifice is also quite moving. At the end of the third episode, there was a big change in the role of Arisu. After that, Arisu, played by Kento Yamazaki, cooperated with Usaki, played by Tsuchiya Taiho, on a mission. The hairstyle this time, I really feel like a beggar? I can understand that because it is a manga adaptation, the character modeling must be consistent with the manga, but how to look at it, it doesn't match XD. On the contrary, Tsuchiya Taifeng performed this time with the handsome style of the female beater, which is really charming! In the film, she shows off her rock climbing skills and her most proud running skills. She jumps between buildings. She is really handsome. I always think her eyes are beautiful and her voice is very nice. ! After entering the fifth episode, the story came to the oasis "seashore" in the desert, where there are countless players like Arizu, and the upper level of the players is ruled by a management class. Simply speaking, it is created in a lawless utopia. The food chain, new characters including An Li Hena played by Miyoshi Ayaka all appear from this episode. come to the present People in this country had an unknown past before. They were bullied in real life, they didn't get recognition, and they couldn't find their goals in life. Break through and escape from this place and return to reality; some people who are not in reality find their own value in this utopian land. On the whole, "The Climbers of the Kingdom of Today" is a Japanese drama that I have seen today's top-level production. The scenes are huge, the rhythm is tight, the plot is exciting, and the world view is attractive, but it is not without shortcomings. "The World of Kings" co-produced by director Sato Shinsuke basically has the same advantages and disadvantages as "The World of Kings". Director Sato Shinsuke is definitely the material for big scenes. In the film, it shows the empty Tokyo in one shot. It is an excellent display of scheduling, but when filming literary dramas, there is often a slow rhythm that leads to a feeling of boredom. This is obvious in the 5th and 6th episodes of "The Kingdom of Now", but on the whole, the flaws do not hide the flaws. What Japanese TV stations could not film, Netflix did. Last year, "AV Emperor" reached Netflix's phenomenon-level discussion of Japanese dramas with a spicy theme and an unreserved large-scale. , is also built with an unrestricted (bloody) scale and budget. If there is no accident, it will hit the domestic Japanese drama industry again. The now withered Japanese drama industry is going to grow again, and the theme and budget must also be upgraded. It may once again attract the audience of young people in Japan. In short, I look forward to the second season. The designer behind the game is really looking forward to it. Please don't make me wait too long! #Tsuchiyataifeng is so hot and mighty in the play#Yamazaki Xianren looks like a beggar XDD #Sanji Caihua brings her own milf aura as soon as she debuts#Netflix dad spends a lot of money to shoot and watch and cherish#The breakthrough of the current country#Yamazaki Xianren #Tsuchiyataifeng#Machida Keita#Asahina Aya#Sanji Caihua#Sakurada Pass#Sato Shinsuke★★★★☆

    To put it simply and rudely, the show started to collapse from the third episode, not to mention the setting of the final climax, which is completely self-inflicted creation, which may be the reason why the animation version only did 3 episodes. One of the advantages of animation itself is the short duration, which can be compressed and compact, but an episode is more than 40 minutes, which inevitably drags the plot and sensationalism. These two points are even more disgusting in the live-action version. In addition, the actors are all comic-style acting, if they are not real enough, there is no need to talk about entering the play. In addition, about the direction, there are almost no unexpected settings, and this play can only be medium in the same kind of comics. I really don't understand why Yamazaki Kenren's resources are so good, obviously his works are poor, so Tsuchiya Taifeng's amazing shape is wasted.
