"News Queen" Finale Sparks Debates - Viewers Question TVB Formula
2023-12-09
Recently, the finale of the Hong Kong TV drama "News Queen," starring Charmaine Sheh, has been revealed, triggering a wave of discussions. The show, praised for its plot, acting, cinematography, direction, and music, stands out as a shining gem in recent years' Hong Kong television. Vincent Wong's excellent guest appearance further enhances its overall appeal.
The hotly-broadcasted drama "News Queen" welcomed its finale last night, but many viewers found the ending somewhat rushed. This narrative choice seems to deviate from the original focus on the news industry, leaving the final impression somewhat hasty.
Rumors of the show's unsatisfactory conclusion even made it to Weibo's trending topics. This follows a common pattern in many Hong Kong dramas: gripping initial episodes, diluted plot development in the middle, and a hurried ending.
According to Douban ratings, "News Queen" initially soared to 7.9 points but experienced a slight decrease after the finale was exposed, currently stabilizing at 8.0. Nevertheless, most viewers continue to hold a positive view of the drama.
Executive producer Chung Shu-ka, in an interview, stated, "We're not deliberately catering to a female audience or any specific group. As creators, we have a responsibility to reflect current events in different eras and create responsive works. 'News Queen' is our response to this era."
