In the small town of Dongcheng, everything started with the murder of an 18-year-old girl. Every family in the town is worried because this is the second case about the murder or disappearance of a young girl, but it is not until the end that the truth is revealed.

This is the best part of the show, and it's the most applauding.

Although Mel, starring Kate Winslet, is a police detective on the East Side, her own life is terrible.

Her son committed suicide by taking drugs. In the shadow of losing her son, she threw herself into the case and deliberately forgot the pain this incident brought her. Pain doesn't go away with time, let Mel forget.

Her daughter had yelled at her for hating her, her ex-husband Frank had a new love, and life seemed to be going in the right direction. But then the screenwriter gave the audience a slap in the face, which does not seem to be the temperament of "Dongcheng".

The murdered girl, Irene, was pregnant out of wedlock, a single mother, and an alcoholic father. Life was really bad. Her son DJ was ill, and she was forced to live with her ex-boyfriend again. One night, the ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend beat Irene, and Irene died that night.

That's why the show starts, everyone in town is more or less related to Erin, and every one of them is lying, and what the truth is, Mel wants to know more than anyone.

Every family in the town has its own misfortune. These misfortunes are due to Erin's death and Mel's investigation. These dark, broken, and unbearable facts are put on the table and put before their eyes, forcing everyone to go. To face, to overcome, to change, including herself. In the end, Mel took the initiative to board the attic where his son committed suicide, and everything came to an end here.

Irene's death is like the butterfly effect. The screenwriter shows everyone's living conditions and experiences through her death, and the truth lies under the iceberg.

Opening high and walking low, the main creator does not know what is enough. The heroine is divorced, her ex-husband will remarry, her son committed suicide a few years ago, and may lose custody of her grandson. There is also a daughter who will go to college and her old mother at home. Under such a complicated family relationship, she has to try her best to be a good police detective and solve cases; besides family relationship and work, she also encounters one peach blossom after another. How busy is this! The play is too full! The same is true for the teenage mother who is the protagonist of the case. The focus is too heavy on her character, and she cannot hold back her personality: this girl is a teenage mother, who has broken up with the child's father and is connected to each other. She also yearns for a new relationship and engages in online dating. Father, I also had a past with my uncle. With so many scenes, do you think she is the female protagonist of meat?

Netizens say that this drama is slow-paced. It can only be said that the audience is now spoiled by fast-paced short videos. In my opinion, the screenwriter's ability to control the narrative rhythm has become so powerful that it makes me jealous. The narrative efficiency of each scene is quite high, and the group portraits of the whole town are quickly spread with as little brush and ink as possible, and every character is real , delicate, no labelled character setting, but it can quickly let the audience understand the character traits of different characters. The whole town setting is real enough to be empathetic (if you were born in a similarly small place rather than a big city), giving the later strong plot (murder) a solid environmental foundation. After completing so many drama functions, the author can also complete the meticulous shaping of the heroine's image, and methodically promote the development of the story step by step, the layers of suspense, and the transformation of crisis. Such a strong narrative ability is said to be slow, and I really feel incomprehensible.
