Drama evaluation
"Under the trickle" focuses on the jewelry industry, and goes hand in hand around the plot of "suspense+commercial war", blending multiple emotional elements, and the plot tends to be interlocking. Every seemingly casual detail may be the foreshadowing of high-energy inversion.
The play adopts a double-line plot narrative. The "bright line" in the play is the internal struggle of the group, while the other "dark line" is the old case of the ancient mother Tang Wanrong. It is worth mentioning that the drama restores the real state of the jewelry industry and presents the audience with the knowledge of the whole process from raw material procurement, diamond cutting technology, glass drilling core technology, marketing and promotion.
"Under the Streams" is skillfully interspersed with "flashbacks", which constructs a complete link for Gu's return. The reversal of the villain and the high-energy and compact plot will bring a hearty viewing experience to the audience.
The audience in front of the TV is mostly just at the jewelry counter, feeling the brilliance of jewelry and diamonds as consumers and appreciators, but they know little about the operating rules of the industry. The play opened a window for the audience, showing the whole process of knowledge such as raw material procurement, diamond cutting technology, glass drilling core technology, marketing and promotion, which is curious.
