If you haven't watched the first episode yet, please be careful, watch out for spoilers!
(The logic is unclear, expressed in points)
Again, the following content is a serious spoiler!
/////// ////// ////// ////// ////// ////// ////// //////
1 .The first six minutes of the first episode are all black and white films. The film is about Sol (the male protagonist) who hides his name as an ordinary employee of a dessert shop after the old white gang is exposed. The black and white tones show Sol's life and psychological damage after running away. Another detail is that he saw a strong man walking towards him with a panicked expression, indicating that Sol is still living in the shadow of Lao Bai's shocking case. Still frightened. It is worth mentioning here that this episode uses the flashback filming method often used by poison masters. Do Poison fans remember the first shot of the first episode of the first season of Breaking Bad? Lao Bai's pants fell from the sky, and Lao Bai drove RV crazy in the Gobi, Mexico. The first act is very catchy and leaves suspense.
2. Tribute to Breaking Bad plot:
1. After running away, Sol hid his most private things (his previous identity, etc.) in the same way as Lao Bai hid money. When he saw the scene of taking out the videotape, he had to remind Poison fans. To the scene where Lao Bai withdraws money from the vent.
Two, Saul tunes the channel at will, to the National Geographic Channel of the American Empire on TV? (Guess), a science and education column similar to the animal world is being played, and it is talking about a kind of turtle. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the kind of tortoise carrying the head of a renegade drug dealer in the seasons of Breaking Bad, which is also a classic meme.
Third, the stalk of the skateboarder. In the penultimate episode of the fifth season of Breaking Bad, Lao Bai's home was sealed up. The swimming pool in the backyard of Lao Bai's house was transformed into a U-shaped pool by a skateboarder. Of course, the skateboarder in Coquettish Lawyer is the driving force of the plot.
Fourth, Saul had the last conversation with Lao Bai before running away and said: After running away, it would be good to go to a dessert shop in a certain city. The beginning of the play just confirmed that Sol had decided his life after running away with a single word at that time.
3. Familiar and friendly supporting roles: Uncle Mike, who would not let Sol pass without stickers. It was mentioned in Breaking Bad that Mike used to be a policeman, but he turned black for some reason. Mike's original occupation is now given in the coquettish lawyer: police station guard.
In the final scene of the first episode, one of the most impressive villains in Breaking Bad, Gallery, makes his debut! The first episode introduced some of the most crucial characters of the show, which was just right and grabbed the hearts of the audience. Especially the Poison Master fans must be excited to see these!
4. Originally I thought it would be a legal drama or a gossip comedy. Unexpectedly, there is a tendency to develop into a crime drama like Breaking Bad. Of course, after this drama, whether there will be more crime plots, more legal plots, or more comedy elements will depend on the development of the plot in the future.
5. I gave the first episode a five-star rating with a 9.5 rating.
