How long has it been since you watched a decent spy drama?
Are classic "old" spy dramas such as "Kite" and "Cliff" being rerun every day? You can memorize the plot by heart. Although you can never tire of watching the classics, you also need new spy dramas to feast your eyes.
Let’s not give it away, in response to the long-awaited calls of the audience, Beijing Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV have brought "King Bomb" works to the new year's drama, which will be broadcast on two stars tomorrow night! The 45-episode spy drama "The Sunset" is coming and is expected to be released on January 1, 2026. This will make many fans of the spy drama unable to sit still, especially when they see the cast, netizens: It's time to explode.
The filming of "Sunset Over the River" was completed as early as 2018. After that, news of the premiere came out every year. For some reason, it was never heard of in the end. Now there is news of the premiere again. Even though the audience is a little numb, they are still very excited. After all, the spy drama is the ace theme drama among domestic dramas and is loved by all ages.
"Sunset on the Long River" is set during the Second World War in 1942. It mainly tells the story of how after the Allied aircraft carrying the "Believers" were defeated by the enemy, the intelligence organization began to prepare silently for five years. Under the close surveillance of the enemy, they had to gain the trust of the islanders, rescue the target person, and escort the target person away.
From the introduction alone, we can see that the drama "Sunset Over the River" is different from previous traditional spy dramas that only need to convey a single piece of information. Instead, it is a thrilling, seemingly impossible rescue operation behind enemy lines full of difficulties and obstacles, which is quite eye-catching.
In addition, the most attractive thing about the drama "Sunset on the River" is of course its strong cast, which includes Zhang Luyi, Zhang Songwen, Zhang Junning, Zhang Chenguang and other acting talents that are very familiar to the public.
Zhang Luyi's most representative spy drama is none other than "Red". The ace agent Xu Tian he played in the drama broke the traditional "cold and strong" image of an agent, but vividly portrayed the agent's agility and forbearance. In one fell swoop, it won a high score of 9.2 on Douban, ranking second to "Kite" among spy dramas.
Since then, Zhang Luyi has participated in many spy war dramas, but the response has been mediocre. This time Zhang Luyi will play Ichiro Takeki in the drama. He has the identity of a double agent between the enemy and the enemy. On the surface, he looks like an enemy officer, but in fact he is our underground personnel. He is a character who walks on the edge of a knife. We look forward to him showing the struggle and determination of a double agent in the drama.
Zhang Songwen became popular with the role of Gao Qiqiang. Although he later appeared in several spy dramas, the audience's evaluation was not very high. After all, the role of "Gao Qiqiang" was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This time he will play the role of Director Shen of the Chongqing Intelligence Department in the play. He is the core figure of his party.
He is both the boss of Ichiro Takeki, played by Zhang Luyi, and the leader of this plan. He is a very difficult character to control. The rivalry between the two "Two Zhangs" in the play is also one of the biggest highlights of the play.
As an actor with a background in idol dramas, Zhang Junning's appearance in a spy war drama this time is a bit worrying. Although spy war dramas are popular dramas, they do not reach their peak once they are released. Fortunately, Zhang Junning's acting skills are still recognized by the audience. In this drama, she will play the role of military doctor Ye Biying. While assisting in the rescue mission, she also needs to rely on memory and courage to break through the enemy's blockade.
