To evaluate this play objectively, it is an inspirational play about finding oneself.

First of all, what you expect from this film determines your rating.
1. If you treat it as a mythological science fiction drama, then I will give it 1 star.
There are almost no special effects elements, the protagonist is a weak chicken, and even the only BUG as a god-the immortal body will be weakened by the heroine. It feels more like a low-energy YY drama. If you come with watching mythology special effects, then sorry, this show is simply rubbish to you. The sense of mythology is also quite weak. Currently, there are only two angels and one demon. There are no splendid fighting scenes between each other. Even just fight each other like gangsters...

2. If you treat it as a detective film, sorry, I still can only give 1 star.
The plot has no brilliance, it's all outdated and old routines, and sometimes the characters are explained too quickly, and the characters are not detailed enough, so that people can't match the characters and names at all, and don't give the audience time to think. It gives people a sense of perception of who is the culprit, and of course it is true. Some episodes are obviously just for the plot of the detective.

3. As an emotional drama? 0 stars do not hesitate.
The relationship line of the heroine and the heroine is completely messed up. If the heroine is replaced by a man, it can be regarded as a corrupt drama! Ambiguous and bounded, big brother, you two are single and have no close relatives of the opposite sex. As for getting along like this? ! Speaking of this, I have to say that the male protagonist is a mother, and it is worthy of the United States. If the female lead is replaced by a male, I believe this drama will be much hotter than it is now. The scale of selling rotten is just right, and it makes people love it. Hate, change to heterosexuality? You know, only hate is left.

4. If it is simply regarded as an inspirational drama to find yourself, I will give 4 stars.
The whole drama allows me to watch, and it also resonates with me. In fact, it is Lucifer's exploration of self. This is the main line of the show, but to be honest, it is the most attractive main line that has been diluted by many other elements, so that people can have the motivation to follow the show. After all, if a few episodes will explain Lucifer’s true self , What kind of person he is, what kind of person he wants to be, probably no one wants to keep watching.
All mythological elements, detective elements, and love elements in this play are forced to exist for the main line. And this kind of hodgepodge of fusion has both its reasonable and subtle aspects, as well as its criticized aspects. Let me analyze them one by one.

1. Mythological element:
In fact, after watching the first episode, you should know that this drama will not have too many mythological elements or grand special effects fighting scenes. Many people complain that Lucifer is a big demon, but he is too weak and so on. You think so because you treat it as a special effects blockbuster. Let’s ask a demon king on an earth where there are few enemies (his angel brothers know that he can’t beat Lucifer, and he has no ability to take him back to hell. It’s more out of anger to fight against Lucifer). What's the use of his super powers? Play against mortals? Just like you trample on the weeds on the side of the road, whether you step on it, burn it or cut it, do you find it interesting? Or will the audience find it interesting? The positioning of the whole drama is not an epic fantasy drama, but an inspirational drama with self-finding as the core and myth and detective as the shell. So Lucifer doesn't need to have great abilities, and he can't and shouldn't have great abilities, otherwise it will destroy the balance of the whole drama and make people lose the motivation to watch it. If every episode uses superpowers to defeat ordinary criminals who are ordinary people, and the criminals are neither technical nor mindful, they are murder cases caused by some trivial things that may happen to you and me at any time, in a sense Extremely close to real life. I can guarantee you will watch two episodes at most! It feels like Superman defeated Ma Jiajue, and I will show you this in 40 minutes. Can you keep watching? Therefore, the male lead's ability setting is still very balanced.
Active skill is a charm, and it can only induce people to say what they desire most in their hearts. And the most ingenious part of this ability is also here, saying that desire does not mean that you will confess the crime, even if you say that you desire to kill, it does not mean that you must kill. This is exactly the charm of this drama. Lucifer’s ability is more of a breakthrough when solving crimes and entering a blind spot. This ability is more for discovering new clues and suspects, rather than being used to find new clues and suspects. Let the criminal confess his guilt. And this ability to peek into the deepest things in others’ hearts not only conforms to Lucifer’s image of inducing the world’s depravity in the eyes of the world, but also promotes the progress of the plot, connecting a personal relationship without appearing too violent. , It gives people a feeling of being just right and still unsatisfied. I have to say that the screenwriter has a very good grasp of this degree.
Passive skills are the most powerful as a hell, at least one ability of the devil who has lived for so long-the immortal body. However, even such an ability that is supposed to be seen by the audience is weakened. The heroine has a debuff halo. If it is close to the hero Lucifer, the hero's immortality will be invalid, and the heroine is also immune to charm skills. In fact, it’s quite reasonable to think about it carefully. After all, criminals’ weapons are either cold weapons like knives or pistols. In each episode, you can know how he caught the gangster in the end when he appeared on the scene-ignoring all weapons, stepped forward and knocked the gangster down. The episodes are the same, so the screenwriter is simply incapable of doing it. So with the appearance of the heroine, the boring process of catching bad guys becomes exciting again, because at this time Lucifer will be injured and die just like a mortal, making everything uncertain, and the audience's favorite It is this unknown excitement.

2. Detective elements:
elementary school-level cases, with very similar motives for murder in life. Killing her husband for money, killing others selfishly for the sake of revenge, protecting personal interests, etc. There are almost no seamless homicides carefully planned by high IQ, but it feels like a temporary intention to kill. The detective element is entirely due to the heroine's setting-a police agent. After all, the agent is going to work, and the male protagonist is the nightclub owner. According to normal logic, their biological clocks are exactly opposite. Their work and rest time are perfectly missed each other, although the devil can not sleep? But at least Lucifer is still asleep in the show. So if you want to make the heroine have sparks and stories, you must adapt to the work of the heroine, that is, the heroine will accompany the heroine to explore the case, and then look for the lost self in the process of finding why the heroine can weaken him. Find out what kind of person you want to be. So the detective element can be said to be added abruptly. In fact, I personally don’t like it very much, because the crime plot is really ordinary. The screenwriter wants to take this as a highlight, but in my opinion, it is completely forced to inject water, which dilutes the main line of Lucifer’s search for himself, and allows someone to find himself. The story can be broadcast for several seasons...
and solving the case has little direct help and inspiration for advancing Lucifer's search for himself. Help and inspiration depend more on the emotional entanglement with the heroine. But there are many ways to show the emotional entanglement, and it doesn't necessarily have to pass the investigation. It can only be said that the screenwriter and director want to inject water. In other words, the detective element is not well controlled.

3. Emotional element:
Like the detective element, there is for the sake of being. The heroine’s successful immunity to the hero’s charm aroused the interest of the great devil Lucifer. Lucifer was tired of God’s arrangements for him, so he gave himself a vacation and came to the earth. But he is still invincible on earth, and he can never truly experience as a mortal experience. It can be imagined that life is actually very boring. Although there is alcohol, sex and drug use, the emptiness and loneliness of the spirit cannot be used with the body. Satisfaction to fill. And the appearance of the heroine just met all the conditions, allowing him to experience the powerlessness of a mortal who is weak and powerless to face death, and a sense of challenge from a mortal who is not controlled by his charm. Just like "How lonely is invincibility" written in the lyrics, the heroine is simply a little light in the boring darkness, letting the heroine fly into the arms of the heroine like moths.

And when Lucifer truly lost his identity as the Lord of Hell and became a truly ordinary mortal. Only then can he realize that he who has lost his divine nature is the most real human self in his heart. Even if he becomes a fallen angel, he still has divinity (the wings of divinity can explain), and needless to say, divinity is given to him by GOD, and he is also given by nature. It is precisely this divinity. Let him be the lord of hell, torturing those ugly souls who deserve to be punished.
Lucifer has always emphasized that it is not him who commits the crime. He only punishes those who commit crimes, regardless of whether the prisoner is lured by him or not, but if a person has no intention of harm, how could he be tempted and how could he summon Satan? (Lucifer)? People cannot control their desires and hurt others, but it is unfair to push the blame on Lucifer. And Lucifer cares very much about fame (Mai has used this stimulus several times and he can see that Lucifer cares very much about fame), of course he is fed up with the thankless and thankless work of the lord of Satan and hell. The divinity was like a yoke, which tied him firmly in hell and had to obey his father (GOD), so he cut off the wings full of divinity, and finally burned it. This series of behaviors symbolizes Lucifer's desire for true freedom, and the divinity given to him by GOD is like a shackle that prevents him from being free.
Wings, something that seems to allow people to be free, but confine his existence. Divinity, the most beautiful and pure thing, is one of the reasons that imprison him in the dirty and ugly hell. Many things are like this, the outside looks glamorous, but who can guarantee that there is not a rotten heart inside? Lucifer, the demon Satan in the human population, did what heinous and unforgivable crimes did he commit? What I saw was a heart of innocence, an angel of thorns yearning for freedom. He will also be confused, fearful, and lonely. When he is with the heroine, he has no divinity, just like a mortal. For a demon king, isn't it an opportunity to escape from the old body that is bound by the divine nature and regain a new life? He looked at the world in a way he had never seen before, without burden, all of which were so novel, so that made his heart move, and slowly released the humanity that had been suppressed by the divine for a long time! He will also experience the joys, anger, sorrow and joy of mortals, and will also feel pain, injury, and bleeding. Only by experiencing it in this rolling red dust can you discover what you really want. As a demon king, he can see through the deepest desires of others, but he can't see what his own desires are. Perhaps as a divine god, he has no desires at all.
A wolf can never understand what a sheep thinks unless it becomes a sheep. The heroine did it, not only broke his immortal body, but also broke his heart that had been sealed by divine nature for a long time. He changed him from a cold-blooded big bad wolf into a gentle, fragile and sensitive little sheep. Let him have the opportunity to carry out a salvation of searching for self and freedom.
The process of Lucifer's humanity slowly being highlighted is like a baby slowly growing up, with endless plasticity. Just like no one can really define what kind of person a child will become when he grows up, we don't know what Lucifer will end up on the road of exploring human nature, and what kind of self he will find in the end. In the end, after finding your own humanity, will you abandon yourself and choose divinity for the heroine or the world? Whether divinity is the sublimation of humanity or the extinction of humanity is unknown. It is also such a contradictory character created by the screenwriter that makes people unable to extricate themselves and makes people want to explore Lucifer. Who doesn't want to live forever, who doesn't want to be able to see through the deepest desires of others? Lucifer is actually our own reflection, full of the complex body of humanity and divinity. People are most likely to lose themselves, but they also find their true self because they are lost. If you have never been lost, how can you be sure that you are who you are now?
So here I am boldly guessing about the play's routine: the
first stage, the initial divine setting. That is, Lucifer was driven into hell by God and became the lord of hell, in charge of punishment. He was like a rebellious child who was punished by his father and made up for it. At this time, he can say that everything is controlled by his parents. It looks like a teenager's rebellion, but he doesn't know what he really wants.
The second stage: the weakening stage of divinity. He was fed up with life in hell, fed up with the unchanging living arrangements, he left hell privately and came to earth for 5 years, and cut off his own wings. Teenagers always have a day when they grow up. They are fed up with the arrangements of the family, want to escape from this home, longing for freedom, so they leave home and start to live alone and feel the new life every day.
The third stage: the budding stage of human nature. Lucifer met the heroine, and his ability was weakened like a mortal. His humanity was gradually revealed, but he also began to be confused, wanting to know the truth of all this. It is not easy for a person to wander into society alone. You will encounter many setbacks and blows, making people feel confused. I don’t know what I will become in the future, what I should do now, what is right and what is right. Is it wrong?
The fourth stage: the annihilation of divine nature, human nature dominates. Lucifer found the human self and completely abandoned the divine. After being confused, people will eventually find their true self in this bustling world.
The fifth stage: the sublimation of human nature, the birth of a new divine nature. Lucifer sacrificed himself to become the self, even at the expense of his humanity. Finding the true self does not mean that we will no longer be lost and confused. The true self needs us to use great perseverance to maintain it, and sometimes it takes more courage to give up. This kind of abandonment is not cowardly, but made for our beliefs. Sacrifice seems to give up, but in fact insists on self-protection. There are always times in our life when we are faced with choices, and there are always times when we need to give up our pursuit for the sake of our loved ones or loved ones. Our giving up does not mean giving up on ourselves. On the contrary, we know ourselves better. We know that people can never live for themselves. People can't live without the race, we have things we want to protect, and in order to protect the things we cherish the most, we can sacrifice everything and do whatever it takes. What you give up is pursuit and form; what you get is a clear conscience, inner peace, and the sublimation of your true self. Maybe at this time we are all saints with divine nature.
