What are the ten most classic spy dramas in English in your opinion?
Hello everyone!
I'm very honored to be able to answer this question. First of all, if you want to know your favorite spy drama, you should know what a spy drama is.
Spy dramas refer to a type of film and television dramas with espionage as the theme, which include undercover agents, secret agents, intelligence exchange, suspense, love, violent torture and other elements.
Part One: "The Mistake".
The play tells the story of two pairs of intelligence agents from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party who accidentally connected with each other during the Anti-Japanese War. They had no choice but to swap partners to continue their mission. During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the two "fake couples of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" not only battled wits and courage, but also united and cooperated. They were both suspicious of each other and trusted each other, and supported each other through life and death.
Part Two: "Sword Spy".
The play tells the story of a series of life-and-death battles between agents from the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, Japan, and the Puppetry in Shanghai's French Concession during the Anti-Japanese War, fighting for a top-secret document called the "Japan-Wang Secret Agreement."
The third part: the recent "New World".
The play uses the changes in fate of the three brothers Jin Hai, Tielin and Xu Tian, as well as the acquaintance between Xu Tian and Communist Party member Tian Dan, to tell the story of the torrent of changes that took place in Beiping City during the 22 days on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
Part 4: "Seamless".
The play tells the story of a few ambitious young people who fought bloody battles with the ideal of defending the motherland and peace in a war-torn era when everyone was in danger.
Part Five: "Red Rose".
The play tells the story of Xia Yuzhu, a wealthy young lady who has no experience in the world. She actively joins the revolution, fights side by side with Xiao Junhao, and jointly devotes her youth to national rejuvenation. She gradually grows into an underground member of the Communist Party of China with firm revolutionary beliefs.
Part Six: "Kite".
The play focuses on the life and emotional experience of "Kite", a Communist Party member lurking within the military, and tells the story of a Communist intelligence agent who sticks to his faith.
Part Seven: "Sparrow".
The play is adapted from the original novel by national first-class writer Hai Fei. It mainly tells the story of Chen Shen, who lurked next to Bi Zhongliang, the leader of Wang's pseudo-agent headquarters, assigned work under the code name "Sparrow", secretly delivered information, and successfully "stealed" Wang. The story of the pseudo-government’s “Return to Zero” plan.
Part Eight: "Battle at Dawn".
The play tells the heroic story of China's first generation of public security soldiers who battled wits and courage with hostile forces in Harbin in 1946.
Part 9: "Cold Storm".
The play tells the story of patriot Shen Mufeng who is ordered to eradicate the traitor Yi Anzhi. In the end, Shen Mufeng, who joined the revolutionary team, lit explosives and died with the enemy in order to rescue his comrades.
Part 10: "Operation Butterfly".
The play tells the story of a Chinese female college student who swapped identities with her twin sister who was a Japanese spy. At the beginning of the play, the elder sister tried to lurk in China instead of her younger sister. Unexpectedly, the younger sister treated the other person in her own way, pretending to stage an exciting and exciting "espionage scheme". Actress Tang Yifei plays the leading role of two sisters in the play.
The above ten are the ten spy dramas in my mind. Everyone's favorite spy dramas are definitely different. Everyone has their own personality, hobbies, and genres, so their favorite spy dramas are also different.
Thanks!
Ranking:
Top10, "The Informer", Douban score 7.7, starring Liu Yunlong and Zhang Jiayi.
As a representative of the spy drama of the "horror and suspense" genre, "The Informer" has a sophisticated conception and rigorous logic. By excavating the skeletons from the "Wailing Wall", the protagonist peels off the cocoons and uncovers the secret truth of a major spy case. All the characters are like playing a killing game, hiding themselves, framing others, reasoning and analysis, and fighting wits and courage in a thrilling and thrilling way. In particular, the use of "horror and thriller" elements may seem strange, but it is also scientific and objective, and to a large extent surpasses its predecessors "Plum Blossom Files" and "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes". However, the spy dramas of the "horror and suspense" genre are more than exciting, but they are inevitably criticized for being mysterious. They have a small audience and narrow content for exploration and reflection. To sum up, the ranking is tenth.
2. Top9, "Cliff", Douban score 8.3 points, starring Zhang Jiayi and Song Jia.
From a production perspective, "Cliff" is of excellent quality, with music, lighting, stage design, costumes and props all of the highest quality. From a narrative perspective, the screenwriter seems to focus more on the complex and conflicting emotions of the characters to make the characters more real. These are both the highlights and shortcomings of "Cliff". In order to express the emotions of the characters, too many plots are repeated, and the rhythm of the plot becomes sluggish. In addition, the ending is a bit rough and an imperfect one. In summary, the ranking is ninth.
3. Top8, "The Pretender", Douban score 8.4 points, starring Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Wang Kai.
It has the reputation of being the highest-rated domestic TV series in the past 15 years, and it comes from the hands of the conscientious domestic drama production team "Noon Sunshine". It broke the bottleneck that "fashion + beauty" must be a "magic drama". Through solid acting skills, sophisticated scripts and wonderful stories, it captured the hearts of the audience and won reputation. The overall plot is smooth and the pace is fast, which is better than "The Cliff". However, due to the overall commercial production and occasionally relaxed and playful atmosphere, it only briefly explores choices and contradictions, and it still cannot reach the heights of "The Conspiracy" and "Kite". In summary, the ranking is eighth.
4. Top7, "Latent", Douban score 9.2, starring Sun Honglei and Yao Chen.
"Insidious" in 2009 was a phenomenal TV series that set off a craze for spy dramas. It combines humor, romance, suspense and many other elements, and suddenly plunges an uneducated and filthy woman into a spy drama. The strong sense of collision makes the audience hooked. In addition, the protagonist gradually fell in love during the struggle, which captured a large number of female audiences. However, the significance of this drama is greater than itself. The core elements are drawn out and compared. Although it is first-rate, it is not the ultimate. This has also led to many netizens who like "hard reasoning" and "human nature criticism" elements not buying into it. However, it is also a phenomenal TV series, and it has more benchmark significance than "The Pretender". In summary, the ranking is seventh.
5. Top6, "Red", Douban score 9.2 points, starring Zhang Luyi and Tao Hong.
"Red" combines the two major elements of suspense and reasoning. The screenwriter is thoughtful and foreshadowing is exquisite, and the plot is in the style of "little detective + hard reasoning"; the characters all contribute their peak acting skills to portray small characters with different destinies in the turbulence of the great era. A three-pointer. Netizens often describe it as "the uncrowned king". Frankly speaking, its script is not inferior to "Before Dawn", and its layout is even better than "Insidious". The only shortcoming is that it falls into a story for the sake of telling a good story, and the exploration of human nature is still shallow. The commercial elements are not focused accurately, and it cannot generate social resonance. This is also the reason why although it is good-looking, it is "untitled". In summary, it ranks sixth.
6. Top5, "Before Dawn", Douban score 9.2 points, starring Wu Xiubo and Lin Yongjian.
"Before Dawn" has an excellent reputation. The audience is told who the undercover agent is at the beginning of the story, but it draws people into the game and makes it impossible to break it. The story-telling process is suspenseful and multi-layered, and the ending involves death and rebirth. This is quite similar to the layout of the "narrative genre" of detective novels. It has changed the vicious circle of "the enemy has low IQ" to a great extent. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are facing each other, and suspense comes one after another, which makes the audience marvel. In addition, compared with "Red", it has a more precise grasp of artistic and commercial elements, and resonates with a wider audience. Many people list it, "The Conspiracy" and "Insidious" as the three best domestic spy dramas. The only fly in the ointment is that the ending is not natural enough, which has triggered controversy among many netizens. In summary, it ranks fifth.
5. Top4, "The Conspiracy", with a Douban score of 8.9, starring Liu Yunlong, Chen Shu, and Wang Baoqiang.
"The Conspiracy" is known as the originator of "spy war dramas". It is China's first TV drama that directly describes the work of the "701", the core agency of the counterintelligence department. It is divided into "Listening to the Wind", "Watching the Wind" and "Chasing the Wind". Three chapters. The first two chapters, disguised as spy wars, delve deeply into the ugliness of human nature in the old era. They are not much written but are thought-provoking; the third chapter is exquisitely conceived and has a rigorous logic that is not inferior to "Red" and "Before Dawn". The battle of wits and courage between the good and the bad is a classic. The meaning of this film is as good as itself. Big-screen movies such as "The Wind" and "The Wind" were adapted from this film. Many inspirations for "Insidious" and "Peace Hotel" also came from this film. To sum up, it ranks fourth.
8. Top3, "Kite", Douban score 8.8, starring Liu Yunlong and Luo Haiqiong.
Before "Kite", there has been endless debate about the spy drama that surpassed "The Conspiracy", and the appearance of "Kite" ended this topic. The play, like "The Conspiracy", has both a sophisticated logical layout and a sense of tearing that subverts human nature. In addition, it also changes the facial expressions of the protagonists and villains in "spy war dramas". "Shadow" and "Kite" are almost the same. Under the first layer of reflection on human nature's self-salvation, there is also a hidden question of whether beliefs are valuable. The second level of reflection reaches a dark area that has rarely been touched by previous "spy war dramas". Perhaps this is why "Kite" went through five years of review before it was finally released. To sum up, it ranks third.
9. Top2, "All Quiet in Peking", Douban score of 8.9, co-starring Liu Ye, Chen Baoguo, Jiao Huang, Ni Dahong, Wang Qingxiang, Cheng Yu, Liao Fan, Dong Yong, Zu Feng and Wang Kai.
The structure of "All Quiet in Peking" is grand and clever. All living things, such as the underground party, the party communication bureau, the secrecy bureau, patriotic students and intellectuals, seem to be unclear, but they are intertwined. The exquisite layout is not inferior to "Before Dawn", and the questioning of the distortion of human nature is not inferior to "The Conspiracy". The character's thinking logic switches between multiple factions. The audience will not understand it if they are not careful, and may even think that the character has a split personality. In addition, eight veteran actors have contributed actor-level explosive acting skills. Characters with both talents and talents such as Liu Ye and Wang Kai may look like protagonists, but in fact they are willing to be green leaves. Finally, as a work of art, "All Quiet in Peking" reaches another level. It rarely reveals the efforts and struggles of knowledgeable people in the Kuomintang to save the crisis in 1948, and leads to reflection on the current situation and the country. To sum up, it ranks second.
10. Top1, "Tracking Without Regrets", Douban score of 9.3, starring Wang Zhiwen and Liu Peiqi.
"No Regrets" was first broadcast 20 years ago and has been banned and re-banned. Some people have commented that this is the pinnacle of Chinese TV drama history. Personally, it is not an exaggeration. It uses espionage as a cover to narrate the changes of the times and social changes since 1949 through the lives of small people. It is calm, but hidden and turbulent, and has the charm of returning to nature. In addition, the actors all showed the peak of their acting skills and interpreted every role without any trace. Finally, "Tracking Without Regrets" seems to raise a rhetorical question about the meaning of ideological struggle. Its structure and depth are no less than "All Quiet in Peking", but it takes an eccentric approach and does not fight or fight. It is also small and broad, and it has the highest state of "no sword in hand, but a sword in the heart". To sum up, it ranks first.

This TV series is about Yan Shuangying starring Zhang Zijian. The plot introduction is that the Japanese captured Shanghai in 1938, and the Falcon Assassination Team organized by Yan Shuangying repeatedly destroyed the Japanese's plunder of China's wealth and killed traitors!

All classics, in no particular order
"Kite", "Cliff", "Red", "Before the Dawn", "The Plot", "The Mask", "Lurking", "The Pretender", "The Wind", "The Sparrow".
1. "Kite"
Zheng Yaoxian, the ace agent of Chongqing's military command, is famous for his cunning, wit and ruthlessness. Zheng Yaoxian is actually the "Kite", the Communist agent lurking in the military. In order to ensure that the "Kite" is always stuck in the enemy's heart like a sharp knife and delivers the fatal blow to the Kuomintang at the most critical moment, Zheng Yaoxian has to become the target of everyone in the eyes of his own comrades. The sixth brother of the military commander who punished him.
During his thirty-year career as an intelligence agent, he was hunted by the enemy for a long time and endured the separation of his wife and children. For him, being an intelligence agent itself means sacrifice, and the ability of a person to sacrifice for the country is the best proof of his own worth.
2. "Cliff"
The story takes place in Northeast China in 1938. In the play, Zhou Yi is a Communist agent. In order to make it easier for him to lurk within the enemy, the organization dispatched a female telegraph operator, Gu Qiuyan, to pretend to be his wife.
Facing Gao Bin, a powerful and well-thought-out opponent from the Secret Service, their true identities face severe challenges. At the same time, the relationship between this "fake couple" is also quietly changing. Gu Qiuyan was in crisis, and Zhou Yi finally chose to return to Harbin to rescue Gu Qiuyan. However, what awaits him is another road of no return.
3. "Red"
Characters in "Red" such as Tian Dan, Changqing couple, Liu Tang, Chang Gu, etc. all have different characteristics. Even characters with the same identity like Da Tou and Ma Gan have different ways of shaping. It can be said that "Red" provides us with an excellent historical perspective, and the character exhibition is comparable to "Four Generations Under One Roof".
In fact, even if it is an ordinary or even vulgar subject, as long as the crew members can carefully construct the plot and carefully shape the characters, it can bring us a strong visual impact and artistic enjoyment.
4. "Before Dawn"
"Before Dawn" uses a relatively objective and neutral perspective to show the group portraits of the Eighth Bureau. They once made great contributions during the Anti-Japanese War, but now they are the enemies fighting against them;
For the sake of power and interests, they can play tricks on others and even frame their colleagues, but their professional abilities should not be underestimated. They can put aside the disguise at any time and get straight to the truth. Except for their different positions, this group of people is no different from Liu Xinjie and Duan Haiping. They are all flesh and blood. Have ideals and perseverance.
5. "Conspiracy"
The entire TV series is actually performed in three events. The three events are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other; the first two of them can be independently classified into one category and distinguished from the latter.
In other words, the first part of the entire TV series is actually about psychological guidance, with the protagonist playing the role of a soul catcher, and the latter part is the real spy suspense.
In fact, I have watched very limited spy dramas, but those TV dramas are indeed classics.
I watched this TV series twice in a row, that is, I just watched it once and then went back to watch it again. I'm very surprised by this behavior. Actually, it's because I really like the tension at the beginning, and then it becomes tense and funny in the process.
The rhythm of this TV series is not that boring, and the characters' superficial optimism and inner tension are both well expressed. The moment the protagonist appeared at the end, I was so excited.
I think this spy drama is a better way to restore the history of the time, and the conflict is very appropriately presented.
The three national brothers' IQs are always online, natural and not rigid. Whether it is overt and covert attacks or intrigues, the emotional expression and implementation of the three national brothers' actions affect the hearts of the audience.
I particularly liked the scene where Jin Dong questioned No. 76 on behalf of his eldest sister. When he shot No. 76's men in the last shot, he did not hesitate. It was so cool.
I think that was Jin Dong's best performance.
This drama brought Sun Honglei and Yao Chen to the pinnacle of their lives. Many people complained about Yao Chen's appearance, but in the end they were impressed by her acting skills.
When we were still obsessed with the years when Honglei Sun played the "big brother", his forbearance in this drama allowed us to truly see his strength.
Being an undercover agent means living cautiously every day, not to mention it is a time when the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is very tense, and there is a possibility of losing one's head at any time.
There are TV series with Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Luyi, can the quality be bad? This TV series also has a good sense of rhythm, making people fall into the drama every minute.
The fate of the characters and the feelings of family and country are all presented appropriately, and the PK between characters from different camps is very enjoyable to watch. Even young people will like this TV series.
Liu Yunlong has always been called the originator of spy dramas, so this TV series is definitely not to be missed.
Generally speaking, most of a drama will not make people skip the scene, so fast forwarding is good. But with this TV series, you will feel bad if you miss one episode, and the Douban score is quite high.
This TV series has sublimated the characters and directly raised their spiritual level to a higher level. The performance of the noble qualities of the heroes is very touching. If their qualities and what they do are integrated in a space, it will be very exciting.
This is the classic spy drama I've ever watched.
In addition to these five movies, I have more or less watched some others, such as "Escape", "Sparrow", "Jingzhe", "Peace Hotel", and "Infiltration", but I have not finished them all. , but I liked many of the clips very much after watching them, especially "Penetration". I think Sha Yi acted particularly well.
In fact, spy dramas are now tending to be homogenized and have entered a bottleneck stage, so I often watch old movies.
According to Douban ratings, the ten spy dramas from highest to lowest are:
1. "Latent", 9.3 points;
2. "Before Dawn", 9.2 points;
3. "Red", 9.2 points;
4. "The Conspiracy", 8.9 points;
5. "Kite", 8.8 points;
6. "On the verge of breaking out", 8.7 points;
7. "The Vow is Silent", 8.6 points;
8. "The Pretender", 8.5 points;
9. "Cliff", 8.3 points;
10. "Mask", 8.0 points.
[Latent] [Conspiracy] [Borrowing a Gun] [Qingmang] [Kite] [Before Dawn] [Cliff] [Pretender] [Life and Death Undercover] [Regretless Tracking] A drama must not only have a good plot, but also need superb actors Their acting skills are used to present each role. These actors have deep skills and each role is outstanding.
According to Douban ratings, the ten spy dramas from highest to lowest are:
1. "Latent", 9.3 points;
2. "Before Dawn", 9.2 points;

7. "The Vow is Silent", 8.6 points;
8. "The Pretender", 8.5 points;
9. "Cliff", 8.3 points;
10. "Mask", 8.0 points.
This ranking is not compiled by a single person, but is scored by countless viewers. It may not be consistent with the ranking in your mind. Maybe you think there are spy dramas that are better than the above dramas.
For example, some people think that "The Cliff" should be ranked first, some think that "Before Dawn" should be ranked first, and some think that "The Pretender" has a high score and should not be on the list at all.
But unfortunately, that can only be your opinion and does not represent the public.
In fact, I cannot fully agree with this scoring result. I also have a list in my own mind. The spy drama that I admire the most is "Insidious", which is the same as the list, but the second and third films are different. They are "The Pretender" and "The Kite".
Among them, "Red" scored very high. In view of this, I also tried to see what was so good about this drama, but unfortunately, I only watched one episode and I really didn't have the desire to continue watching it, so I gave it up.
"Trigger" can get a high score of 8.7, which must be outstanding. It's just a pity that I haven't watched this drama at all, so I can't comment on its pros and cons. However, this drama has only more than 9,500 views on Douban so far. People rated it, which is in sharp contrast to other dramas where tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people rated it, which is enough to show that the show was definitely not very popular when it was aired.
I basically agree with several other dramas. Excluding those I haven’t watched, the top ten classic spy dramas in my mind should be:
1. "Latent";
2. "The Pretender";
3. "Kite";
4. "Before Dawn";
5. "Cliff";
6. "Father's Identity";
7. "Borrowing a Gun";
8. "Conspiracy";
9. "The Oath is Silent";
10. "Mask".
This is just my personal opinion, I don’t dare to agree with you, it’s just for discussion!
The last thing to mention is that among the several spy war dramas starring new generation actors that have been aired in recent years, none of them scored more than 8 points, such as "Sparrow" with 6.4 points, "Rouge" with 5.8 points, "Seamless" with 6.1 points, and Hunan The "Spy of the Deep Sea" that just finished airing on Taiwan has a score of 6.5.
It seems that acting in a spy war drama cannot be sustained by being young, handsome and popular. The audience is not a fool. They must be handsome, cool, good-looking and eye-catching... That is not a spy war drama, it is an idol drama!
Ranking of the top ten spy movies and TV series
Ranking of the top ten spy movies and TV series:
Tenth, "The Pretender".
Known as the highest-rated domestic TV series in the past fifteen years, it comes from the conscientious domestic drama production team Zhengwu Sunshine Voice. Captured the hearts of the audience and won reputation.
However, due to the overall commercial production and occasionally relaxed and cliff-hanging atmosphere, it only briefly explored choices and contradictions, so it was ranked tenth.
Ninth, "The Informer".
As a representative spy drama of the horror and suspense genre, The Informer has a sophisticated conception and rigorous logic. Through the protagonist's unraveling, the secret truth of a major spy case is revealed. All the characters are like playing a killing game, hiding themselves, framing others, reasoning and analysis, fighting wits, thrilling, especially the use of horror elements, which seems weird but is scientific and objective.
Eighth, "Latent".
"Insidious" in 2009 was a phenomenal TV series that set off a craze for spy dramas. It combined humor, romance, suspense and many other elements, and suddenly plunged an uneducated, vomiting woman into a spy drama. The strong sense of collision made the audience hooked.
However, the meaning of this drama is greater than itself. Although the core elements are drawn out and compared, it is first-rate, but it is not the ultimate. This also caused many netizens who like hard reasoning and human nature criticism elements to dislike him, so they ranked him eighth.
Seventh, "Red".
Red is soft and has two major elements: suspense and reasoning. The screenwriter has meticulous thinking and foreshadowing, and the plot detective and hard reasoning characters all contribute their peak acting skills, portraying the small characters with different destinies in the turbulence of the great era. Netizens often describe him as the uncrowned king. Frankly speaking, his The script is not inferior to Dawn. Before, the layout was better than Latent. The only flaw was that it got stuck in the story for the sake of telling a good story.
Sixth, "Before Dawn".
Before Dawn has an excellent reputation. The story tells the audience who is mine at the beginning, but it draws people into the game. If the game is broken, nothing will happen. The process is suspenseful and multi-layered, and the ending leaves people dead and alive.
This is quite similar to the layout idea of the vampire faction in detective novels. He has greatly changed the vicious circle of enemies with low IQs. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are facing each other, and suspense comes one after another. This makes the audience marvel at the story. Many people rank it with the assassination plot. Among the three best domestic spy dramas.
Fifth, "Conspiracy".
The Assassination is known as the originator of spy dramas and is the first direct depiction in China. The TV series about the work of 701, the core agency of the counterintelligence department, is divided into three chapters: Listening to the Wind, Watching the Wind, and Catching the Wind.
The first two chapters are disguised as spy wars and dig deep into the ugliness of human nature in the old era. They don't have much to ponder, but they are thought-provoking. The third chapter is well-conceived, with a rigorous logic that is not inferior to that of Before Red Dawn, and the battle of wits and courage between the good and the bad is a classic.
Fourth, "Cliff".
From a production point of view, Cliff's level is excellent, and the music, lighting, stage design, costumes and props are all top-notch. From a narrative perspective, the screenwriter seems to focus more on the complex and contradictory emotions of the characters to make the characters more real.
This is a spy war drama with a unique temperament and very fascinating. It has a story that is unhurried and always tense, and the shots are extremely calm and restrained. People who are used to watching fast-paced American dramas may not notice this drama at first glance. You will feel that the pace is slow and there are many redundant shots, but these things constitute the unique temperament of this show.
Third, "Kite".
Before Kite, there had been endless debate about the spy drama that surpassed "The Conspiracy", and Kite's appearance put an end to this topic. The play, like the plot, has both a sophisticated logical layout and a sense of tearing that subverts human nature.
In addition, he also changed the facial expressions of the protagonists and villains in spy dramas. Shadow is almost the same as Kite. Under the first layer of reflection on human nature's self-redemption, there is also a second layer of reflection on the value of faith, reaching a dark area rarely touched by previous spy dramas. Perhaps this is why Kite went through five years of review before it was finally released.
Second, "All Quiet in Peking".
All Quiet in Peking is grand and clever in its structure, and its layout is as sophisticated as Before Dawn's questioning of the distortions of human nature.
Not to mention the thinking logic of the plotting characters, switching between multiple factions will make it difficult for the audience to understand if they are not careful. Eight veteran actors contributed actor-level explosive acting skills, and finally, as a work of art, All Quiet in Peking reached another level.
First, "Tracking without Regrets".
Wu Regrets was first aired 20 years ago. After being banned and unbanned, some people commented that it was the pinnacle in the history of Chinese TV dramas. It uses espionage as a cover to narrate the lives of small characters in the changes of the times and social changes since 1949.
Not surprising, but hiddenly turbulent, with a back-to-nature charm. In addition, the actors all showed their peak acting skills, interpreting every role without a trace. Its pattern and depth are no less than that of Peking.
The ten best spy movies recognized in China
The ten best spy dramas recognized in China:
1. "All Quiet in Peking"
The structure of "All Quiet in Peking" is grand and clever. All living things, such as the underground party, the party communication bureau, the secrecy bureau, patriotic students and intellectuals, seem to be unclear, but they are intertwined. The exquisite layout is not inferior to "Before Dawn", and the questioning of the distortion of human nature is not inferior to "The Conspiracy". The character's thinking logic switches between multiple factions. The audience will not understand it if they are not careful, and may even think that the character has a split personality.
2. "Latent"
In 1945, as the Anti-Japanese War was coming to an end, the struggle between the country, the Communist Party and Japan became increasingly fierce, and undercurrents surged under the calm sea. As military commander Li Haifeng defected to the Wang puppet regime in Nanjing, Yu Zecheng (played by Sun Honglei), a member of the military intelligence office, was ordered to go to Nanjing to assassinate the traitors, but unexpectedly took another path.
After the CCP instigated rebellion, Yu Zecheng returned to the military as an underground party member and became a rivet driven into the heart of the Kuomintang. In order to assist Yu in his work, the party organization sends a hot-tempered and outspoken girl Cuiping (played by Yao Chen) to serve as Yu's fake wife. As time went by, the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party became more intense, and the couple also faced a major test in life.
3. "Tracking without Regrets"
The play is called a spy drama, but it is actually a documentary. Especially in the first 13 episodes, there is no exaggeration or slander. From the perspective of the grassroots people in Beijing, several ZZ movements after the founding of the People's Republic of China are integrated into the plot one by one, allowing the audience to re-read the history of New China. It fills a large gap in current history textbooks.
4. "Red"
The TV series "Red" is a welfare that pays close attention to details. The plots are interlocking. The bland fireworks in the early stage set off the displacement in the later stage. It depicts the cruelty of the Anti-Japanese War through the profile of a little person who hides in the city.
The drama opened up a different model of the Anti-Japanese War and became a crime-solving mystery rarely touched on by domestic TV dramas. At the same time, the TV series "Red" created a new type of Anti-Japanese War drama, and once took the domestic mystery suspense drama to a new level.
5. "Before Dawn"
The plot of "Before Dawn" is exaggerated but logical, and the characters have distinct and unforgettable personalities. Without discrediting the opponents, the plot of the KMT and the CCP’s offense and defense is exciting. Just the right amount of sensationalism, nothing superfluous. The best thing is the rhythm, tight and no nonsense, absolutely classic.
I dare not say that "Before Dawn" ranks first in the domestic spy war dramas, but it is definitely in the top five. It is a seasoned drama. Tan Zhongshu, played by Lin Yongjian, is perfectly portrayed. The overall logic and rhythm are very compact, and the lines and script are very concise. Basically No empty shots and nonsense.
6. "Kite"
A spy drama directed by Liu Yunlong and starring Liu Yunlong, Luo Haiqiong, Li Xiaoran and others. Zheng Yaoxian, the ace agent of Chongqing's military command, is famous for his cunning, wit and ruthlessness. Zheng Yaoxian is actually the "Kite", the Communist agent lurking in the military. In order to ensure that the "Kite" is always stuck in the enemy's heart like a sharp knife and delivers the fatal blow to the Kuomintang at the most critical moment, Zheng Yaoxian has to become the target of everyone in the eyes of his own comrades. The sixth brother of the military commander who punished him.
The sacrifice on the line caused him to lose contact with the organization. After liberation, he changed his name to Zhou Zhigan, a member of the Kuomintang retainer, and continued to provide important intelligence to the organization in a unique way.
After his "kite" identity was confirmed by the organization, he still assisted the Public Security Bureau to crack down on many potential spy agents in a covert manner. During his thirty-year career as an intelligence agent, he was hunted by the enemy for a long time and endured the separation of his wife and children. For him, being an intelligence agent itself means sacrifice, and the ability of a person to sacrifice for the country is the best proof of his own worth.
7. "Cliff"
Compared with the interlocking plots of "Insidious", "Cliff" is more profound. The visuals are beautiful, the music is appropriate to the occasion, and the actors' performances are grounded and profound. It provides a higher level of thinking for the endless spy war dramas. Although I have a basic worldview today and have my own opinions on the ideas conveyed in the play, this is not a reason to deny faith, courage, prudence and simplicity.
"Zhou Yi" portrayed by Zhang Jiayi can be regarded as a representative of a deep and atmospheric man. Personally, I think it is better than the performances in "Dwelling in a Dwelling" and "Borrowing a Gun". In addition, the leading actors such as Yong Mei, Cheng Yu, and Xiao Song Jia also performed accurately. It is a good drama that makes people sink into the heart, sadden their hearts, but also think a lot.
8. "The Pretender"
"The Pretender" has a compact story and novel shooting techniques. It is a flesh-and-blood spy film full of humanity. Break away from the poor background of those who eat chaffy vegetables, abandon the bloody scenes that show loyalty and belief, and no longer attempt to use the history of tears and suffering and sacrifice to move the audience who have not experienced war, but use a method close to modern life to The entire war situation was condensed into a group of people.
Through a leading financial house in Shanghai, a "queen" eldest sister and three agent brothers, it reflects the hardships and difficulties of the revolution at that time, and the thick writing focuses on specific characters. In addition to the fascinating ups and downs of the plot, the actors and props are undoubtedly one of the highlights of this show.
9. "Mask"

In addition to dealing with his former comrades, Li Chunqiu is also being suspected and tempted by his colleague and detective Ke Ding and Warring States. It was simply stressful. During this process, he witnessed all the details of the corruption and bloodshed of the Kuomintang.
