Deep Lurk (2024)

Strategy Game Done Nicely

I had low expectation before, since its a B level (low budget) drama, made 5 years ago, non romance and republican era genre..

But after watching 6 eps, the plot is surprisingly very very good.... Its very different from usual republican era dramas which have lots of (political) talks.

Here, very little talk!
It has many actions, fast paced, thrilling, everyone is smart, lots of strategies and schemes .... which i have to use 0.75x speed watching it to understand, with lots of rewinds, haha..

All the cast are experienced actors and actresses, so everyone acting is online and realistic...

So if you like smart plot, smart ML FL, smart antagonists, chess and strategy game, spy and espionage theme, give it a try.

Its a breath of fresh air after so many fantasy and romance dramas, we are all need a little brain gym, dont u think so? Hehe

Dont bother with the era, kmt, or whatever the parties, just enjoy the brain burning plot and spy war actions ;)

Deep Lurk is also surprisingly top 1-3 on tv drama category across networks when it was airing on cctv8 and cctv1, even with 0 promotion and marketing, isnt it a real prove that its worth watching? :)

Updated after ending :
Well, up to ep 30 its still amazing, after that, the editing is a little choppy since it was cut from 50 to 38eps.

But it successfully able to maintain the suspense and mislead audience in guessing game "who is the mole" from the beginning to the end. It makes audience think of wild theories since everyone can be the real mole.

Try to watch 3-6 eps to see if you like it and since the beginning is a little confusing because of characters' introduction, dont forget to read Cahane's note on discussion for foundation understanding.

Enjoy the ride :)

Cheng Yi's acting is worth it. It made even Republican drama shine...

Usually I'm not a big fan of Republican drama, I'm more into Wuxia and Xianxia, costume dramas and sometimes modern.
But Cheng Yi's acting is really worth it, because for a long time one of my favourite Cheng Yi's characters was his character from "Lost Tomb 2" Zhang Bu Xun.
Very touching and heartbreaking role.

"Deep Lurk" is a good rare example how low budget drama which was filmed 5 years ago can be so amazing.
Of course, Cheng Yi's acting and acting of other actors is one the main reasons for this.
Many people were desperate to see something new from Cheng Yi and I feel noone is disappointed. At least I'm not.
Drama is thrilling, fast paced, with lots of action. All the characters are highly intelligent and strong which makes it more interesting...
Heroism, Patriotism, Love, Family, War, Betrayal, good and bad, compassion, sacrifice for high cause...
This drama has everything to keep us excited, thrilled and satisfied.
This is a proof that even lower budget dramas can shine if actors and team are talented.
Watching it for Cheng Yi, but all the actors delivered amazing performance so far.
Script has lots of surprises, making all the My dramalist guess "Who is actually Kunwu?".
I can't wait for the new episodes to find out the secrets they will reveal to us.
Amazing drama...
Give it a try. You won't regret,
especially if you're fond of Cheng Yi acting.
