Extreme News reporters observed that on multiple data monitoring platforms such as Kuyun and Yunhe, "Hurricane" took the lead with more than half of the market share, far outpacing the episodes being broadcast at the same time.
In iQIYI, "Hurricane" broke the iQIYI historical heat record with 11,000 popularity, surpassing the previous results maintained by "Fatty-in-law", "Human World" and "Canglan Jue" in one fell swoop.
The drama became popular, making the starring cast even more "familiar" among the audience.
Extreme Eye News reporters observed that in addition to Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen harvesting a lot of discussion heat, Gao Ye (played by Chen Shuting), Li Jian (played by Li Xiang), and Jia Bing (played by Xu Jiang) were surprising, and even Su Xiaoding (played by Gao Qisheng), Lin Jiachuan (played by Tang Xiaolong), Aruna (played by Li Hongwei), Sun Yan (played by Tang Xiaohu), and Feng Bing (played by Lao Mo) of the "villain group" were all gaining attention. A live broadcast made the "wild villain cloud apology" rush to the hot search…

The characters project the complexity of human nature
"Proposition Essay" has made a breakthrough in scale
The explosion of "Hurricane" is partly due to the drama’s portrayal of a flesh-and-blood villain – Gao Qiqiang played by Zhang Songwen.
In an interview with a reporter from Extreme Eye News,The best part of the show, according to several viewers interviewed, is that it is written "not completely opposite good or bad, but more realistic."…
The character is not "black and white", and this success is of course the first reason for Gao Qiqiang’s characterization: he is the boss of the underworld who dominates the party without evil, but his experience of growing from an honest and dutiful fishmonger to a "big boss", as well as his character who is always wrapped in family love, and his many encounters with An Xin, are the sources of the popularity of "Hurricane".

Complex human nature is not only reflected in the portrayal of villains. Li Xiang, the captain of the criminal police team in "Hurricane", who is ultimately "unpalatable", has to walk between black and white because of the weakness of human nature, and finally keeps his beliefs and realizes the highlight of life, which makes many respondents forget.

On the other hand,The explosion of "Hurricane" also originated from the creator’s powerful breakthrough in "scale" within the framework of "proposition composition".
Part of the breakthrough came from the portrayal of villains, and on the other hand, under the theme of "sweeping black and evil", it confronted the "umbrella company" problem that also exists in the real world. From Gong Kaijiang to Zhao Lidong, from Cao Chuang, Li Xiang to Zhang Biao, why can "Gao Qiqiang" do whatever they want? "Hurricane" tore a corner.
The new Douban score fell back to 9.0.
Many viewers still think word-of-mouth is "overrated"
However, due to the cuts in the later plot and the changes in the lines, the watercress score of "Hurricane" has dropped from the highest 9.1 to 9.0. In the interview, many viewers also mentioned that the current watercress score of "Hurricane" is a bit similar to that of "Menghualu" last summer. "This drama is definitely wonderful, but if the passing score is 6, then 9 is still an inflated score."
The score was "inflated", of course, because the audience had "ideas" about the setting of some of the plots of "Hurricane".
In an interview, "Young", who followed the drama throughout, mentioned that the story of "Hurricane" has obvious flaws in logic, especially the growth path of Gao Qiqiang’s boss, "more like a cool drama where the protagonist is omnipotent."
At the same time, she focused on criticizing the character of the protagonist An Xin, "Not only has the character not grown up, but also lacks the most basic feeling of being close to real life. At a serious point, it is’floating ‘." She even mentioned that in terms of the setting of the plot, "An Xin is more like the sexual transformation of the female lead of an idol drama Silly White Sweet (Note: Internet language, gender conversion)."
However, "Young" also mentioned that "flaws do not hide Yu Yu," saying that the plot of "Hurricane" still gives people the urge to "follow dramas", "I hope to see more domestic dramas as good as it this year."
