Audiences have always been very cautious about domestic dramas showing workplace themes. After all, even a simple female theme may turn a workplace that is seriously involved in reality into an elite drama about gossiping in the tea room with high heels.
Among the many professional dramas, special forces , lawyers, firefighters, and doctors are the professions that the audience is particularly worried about. Because these professions are often highly respected in life, even a little bit of discredit is difficult for the audience to accept.
And it turns out that the audience is wary of such themes for good reason. The TV series "Everything About Dr. Tang" can directly prove how unacceptable medical dramas that go astray are.
Click to open the Douban comment section of the TV series "All About Dr. Tang". There are also many netizens who have sharp and spicy comments. Some netizens bluntly said, "It is simply an insult to doctors, a profession that saves lives and heals the wounded." Another netizen complained, "The script is very loose. Domestic workplace dramas will never be able to change their stinking problems."
Doctors also become experts in gossip? The plots are getting more and more outrageous
In fact, there are many classic masterpieces in domestic medical dramas, such as " Good Doctor " and " White Strongman ", which are excellent works with brilliant plots and character settings that balance drama and realism. . Compared with these relatively high-quality works, the drama "All About Dr. Tang" is obviously not outstanding enough.
Not only is the plot relatively loose, but the audience also doesn’t see much sincerity in terms of professionalism and character creation. The author has even begun to worry that "All About Dr. Tang" will turn into an urban emotional drama disguised as a medical drama in the future.
Take the shaping of the image of doctors. In the audience's impression, doctors are angels in white running around the hospital. They stick to their posts and compete with death. But in this drama, a group of male doctors have become gossip reporters who are on the front line of gossip. They sit around chatting and gossiping. It feels like the hospital has a group of idle personnel.
Of course, such a problem arises because "All About Dr. Tang" has a common problem with domestic dramas, which overemphasizes the protagonist and weakens the supporting roles, turning other characters except the protagonist into flat characters.
Moreover, the male and female protagonists are both doctors in their own professional fields. The female protagonist does not do the work of a doctor every day, but is busy working as a seamstress. As a doctor in the anesthesiology department, the male protagonist runs around in the outpatient clinics of other departments every day. This plot alone makes it difficult for the audience to identify with the protagonist as a medical staff, not to mention that the surgical scenes in this drama can be said to be quite sloppy. .
In relatively high-quality medical dramas, surgical scenes are inevitable. Steps such as incisions and sutures are often performed on pig skin, which at least allows the audience to see the tension of the operation.
However, the scale of the surgical scenes in "All About Dr. Tang" is not even as good as the forensic anatomy in criminal investigation dramas. Nothing is shown to the audience, and there is no professional feeling at all. This kind of medical drama without detailed scenes, how to show the doctor's technique, or how to interpret the difficulties encountered during the operation.
It has to be said that in the current market environment of domestic dramas where plots that insult the audience's IQ are prevalent, "All About Dr. Tang" is a new approach that trusts the audience's imagination.
Generally speaking, in terms of plot and texture, "All About Dr. Tang" is a drama that is half full and half full. In terms of casting of actors, "All About Dr. Tang" is not flawless.
Wei Daxun is still good at acting, and the medical sister-brother relationship is really "dazzling"
In fact, viewers who are familiar with Wei Daxun know that the current Wei Daxun is not very suitable for the job of an actor. His performance in major variety shows has almost made him the "God of Variety Shows". Now he has almost lost his mystery as an actor.
The TV series "Everything About Dr. Tang" left no trace of imagination and allowed Wei Daxun to play the original voice. As a result, as soon as Wei Daxun in the drama opened his mouth, the author could travel to the variety show and think of Wei Daxun acting like a mess at home.
Of course, this kind of drama is a subjective factor of the audience. As an actor, Wei Daxun has no problem with his performance, and is even very natural. However, "All About Dr. Tang" is a drama with more serious content and a warmer and healing style. It doesn't suit him very well.
As for Qin Lan, who plays the leading heroine in the play, of course her appearance and acting skills are the ceiling. As an actress with online acting skills, Qin Lan has actually tried many workplace dramas. But whether it was Mo Xiangwan, Shen Ruoxin or Tang Jiayu, they were all given different feelings by Qin Lan.
In this drama, Tang Jiayu acts vigorously and resolutely, and has a sense of responsibility and mission as a doctor. But in the play, she always has a way of putting on airs wherever she goes.
When the character played by Wei Daxun asked Tang Jiayu to explain more details to the patient's family, Tang Jiayu refused and said, "I am not the kind of doctor who talks kindly and does everything. I am another kind of doctor who lets the patient live." kind".
Indeed, this line is very cool, very sassy, and very personal. But as an ordinary audience, we are more of a patient. Shouldn’t the details of an operation that lasts for more than ten hours be explained clearly to the family members or patients? Using this method to highlight the character's personality is actually shooting yourself in the foot.
Qin Lan's acting skills are on the line, so this scene is not so embarrassing as to make harsh words or shout slogans. Judging from Qin Lan's portrayal, the character setting actually hindered her acting skills.
Moreover, although Qin Lan played the doctor very well, the relationship between her sister and brother played by Wei Daxun made the audience say "dah". The age gap between the two, coupled with the professional main line of the medical drama, makes the emotional line particularly redundant. Whenever the slow motion hints to the audience that industrial saccharine is coming, the author has already taken the lead in putting on the mask of pain.
All in all, as a medical drama, "All About Dr. Tang" does not feel professional to the audience. As an urban emotional drama, Wei Daxun and Qin Lan seem to be on different channels and have no feeling of resonance at the same frequency.
Now "All About Dr. Tang" has been online for 10 episodes, but the overall impression given is that it is stable, with no particularly fatal flaws and no particularly eye-catching features.
And in the subsequent plot trends, the author has already smelled the screenwriter's increasingly bloody style. It's a pity that "All About Dr. Tang" has a good cast and crew, but after 10 episodes, people still have no choice but to abandon the show. The key is that abandoning the show is not about leaving without nostalgia but "tasteless". Pity.
