On the afternoon of December 20, the Chinese drama “Nine Heavy Sons” starring Meng Ziyi and Li Junrui opened its score on Douban. The film recorded an average score of 7.5 points, with 54,000 ratings. By the evening of the same day, the number of ratings had increased to about 64,000 and the score remained unchanged.
This is a good score, indicating positive audience response to the work.
In 2024, apart from “The Nine Heavy Sons”, there are only 4 other Chinese historical idol dramas that have achieved a Douban score of over 7, including “The Legend of Liu” starring Zhang Wanyi and Wang Churan (7.7 points with 94,000 reviews); “Eternal Night Galaxy” starring Yu Shuxin and Ding Yuxi (7.5 points with 367,000 reviews); “The Legend of Hua” starring Zhang Jingyi and Hu Yitian (7.4 points with 62,000 reviews); “The Legend of Fuyao” starring Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin (7.2 points with 300,000 reviews).
“Cuu Trong Tu” had an opening score equal to “Vinh Da Tinh Ha”. However, the number of people who rated the film was not too high. This is partly speculated to be because both the male and female leads, Ly Quan Nhue and Manh Tu Nghia, are not actors with as many fans as Ngu Thu Han.
However, the film has not ended yet and is receiving very good responses, the number of views on Van Hop is always maintained at a high level, so the number of people reviewing on Douban may increase in the near future, the score may also be higher.
"Nine Deadly Sins" is adapted from the novel of the same name by author Chi Chi, revolving around the two lives of Dou Zhao (Mencius) and Song Mo (Li Junrui).
In their first lives, Dou Zhao and Song Mo both experienced many misfortunes. The bond that connected them brought Dou Zhao and Song Mo together in their second lives. Together, they moved forward, making those who harmed them pay the price. During this process, the two also began to develop feelings.
“The Nine Deadly Sins” was praised right from the first episodes. Audiences commented that the two main actors had good looks and acting, and the script was engaging.
The success of “The Nine Deadly Sins” was surprising, because before that, this was not a project that had high expectations. Even the film director and Meng Ziyi and Li Junrui themselves did not expect the film to be such a big success.
