Once again, I wrote a long review because the number of words in the short review is too large, and I wrote down the aftermath of "Dark War".

I watched it mainly because of "Bomb Hurt 2", but I didn't expect it to be much better than Bomb Hurt, especially the plot design in several places is really ingenious and wonderful, as well as the portrayal of the characters. For example, Lin Xue's design of forgetting his password when he first appeared on the scene showed that he was a sloppy and forgetful person, and after buying him through a few small plots, he couldn't remember the foreshadowing of Liu Qingyun's role. Another example is the love scene between Meng Jiahui and Andy Lau on the bus. Through the comparison before and after, people feel both pleasant and romantic, and many other plots. I have to say that the script is really well written and the story is really good! The role of Liu Qingyun also reminds me of the negotiator played by Kevin Spacey in "Ace Vs Ace", and the plot may be somewhat similar. The role of Huang Qifa also needs to be said, it is funny and responsible, and I like the shaping in it, hahahahaha.

The soundtrack is also very nice, there are two main ones, one is the soundtrack when the protagonist first appeared on the stage (it also appears many times later), and the other is the romantic soundtrack when Liu Yumeng met.

In the end, I have to say the shortcomings, the action scenes are relatively poor, especially the scene of Shuang Liu and the villain fighting on the road, the editing is so chaotic, I don’t know what happened after watching it for a long time. !

ps. Meng Jiahui's Mandarin dubbing made me stunned as soon as I opened it, it was so stupid. But when I first saw it, I thought it was normal, but the more I looked at it, the more beautiful it became! Really charming!
