Original title: "Punishing Crime" uses "group drama" and "group image" to play a living story.

The suspense criminal investigation drama starring and has recently been released on the online platform. The drama has attracted the attention of a large number of netizens with confusing cases, fast-paced reversal and realistic plots.

At the beginning of Punishing Crime, a suspenseful murder case leads to many doubts. With the occurrence of many criminal cases one after another, all the evidence points to the entrenched force: Zhao family. As the truth behind the case is gradually revealed, it constitutes a complete link of Zhao’s criminal gang. The whole investigation process is full of doubts, far-reaching buried lines and difficulties, attracting the audience to dig the truth together.

In the past two years, there have been frequent explosions of criminal investigation dramas. As the same type of Punishment Crime, this time there are many new breakthroughs in the presentation of characters and stories. Johnny, the leading actor, continued the outstanding acting skills of "Action to Break the Ice", with steady output as always, and a familiar driving role, while Yang Shining also performed a hidden and scheming villain image. In particular, the emotions of the characters in the play are complicated, and a wonderful "group play" performance is created around the huge network of people presented by the case. In addition to the main plot, there are many subplots. Each character, whether decent or villain, has his own story or emotional entanglements, each of which is a faction. Many story lines intersect with each other, forming a criminal investigation story with complicated background, and at the same time, it also gives the supporting actors of this play great room to play their acting skills. The old drama bones and the young powerful actors vividly depict their roles, and the complex story lines influence the thinking and actions of the two protagonists, perfectly promoting the development of the plot with "group drama" and presenting "group images" with the development of the plot, thus showing a three-dimensional and hierarchical criminal investigation story.

In terms of story presentation, "Penalty Crime" skillfully combines the two elements of criminal investigation and suspense through plot design and lens editing, and the plot is interlocking, using profound lens language and superb editing techniques to "confuse" the audience’s judgment again and again, thus finally achieving the goal of reversal. These reversals are all based on human design and story logic, which are reasonable and effective in improving the quality of the drama and the audience’s expectations.

In addition, the creators buried a lot of foreshadowing in the story, creating suspense and a sense of crisis, and at the same time, let the audience deeply understand the tragic experience of the victims and the hardships of the investigators, and therefore more deeply realize the difficulties and obstacles in cracking down on illegal crimes and it is imperative. The unity of the people and the investigators makes the audience feel a real sense of security and fairness and justice.

It can be said that "Punishment for Crime" enlivens the story with "group play" and "group image". Undeniably, Penalty for Crime has made a new attempt on the basis of the existing criminal investigation drama, but there are also some regrets in dealing with some details. For example, some character designs are too facetious, which leads to the actor’s performance being "too much" and slightly superficial.
