On July 9, the domestic drama "In the Name of the Law", starring Zhang Yi, Li Guangjie and Jiang Xin, had its grand finale on Youku.
On the night of the closing ceremony, the popularity of "In the Name of the Law" on Youku exceeded 10,400, which was an impressive result.
The online opinions on its finale were mixed.
Some people believe that this drama is the "most explicit" work of the same theme in recent years, "comparable to In the Name of People in all aspects, and a great performance by all the cast members". Although the screenwriter was almost unable to continue writing the last episode, how can such a case be solved in real life?
Some people also think that the character of Bankai was killed in the finale, and that he died at the moment when the truth was about to be revealed. Many viewers could not accept this and pointed the finger at the creators.
That night, the drama's director Fu Dongyu responded on Weibo: "Today is the end. Good or bad, praise, criticism and rebuke have all been received, and I am summarizing them. For example, the beginning was slow to get into the play, the length was stretched by adding water, and there were mistakes in the choice of actors... I am reflecting on all of this. Farewell to "In the Name of the Law". It records my three-year journey. Thank you to my partners who have walked with me along the way. Thank you for your tolerance, tolerance, encouragement and guidance~ Goodbye!! See you again in the next work. "

Also on the night of the finale, @以法之名官微博 posted screenshots of several netizens promoting the iQiyi new drama "Legal Defense" which premiered that night under the terms #以法之名烂尾# and #以法之名剧本#, with the caption: "Who is framing and who is setting up?"

Fans of the drama "In the Name of the Law" said that the official Weibo's operation was puzzling. After all, that night was the finale of "In the Name of the Law". The drama has firmly occupied the first place on multiple data platforms such as Yunhe in recent days. There is really no need to "give heads to opponents" when the popularity is the highest.
Fans of Just Cause believe that "accommodating heartbroken fans" is a common practice when many dramas come to an end, and they called on the official Weibo account to fight back. It is reported that the peak popularity of Just Cause on iQiyi on the first day of its premiere was 5536.
Near midnight, @正權防卫’s official Weibo account posted a message to support fans’ rights protection, but reminded them to be careful about the scale and not to over-defend. Later, the official Weibo account of In the Name of Law deleted the screenshot. This “seemingly simple and unpretentious business war” also came to an end.
The official Weibo account of "Just Cause" advised fans that when exercising "legitimate defense", they should "not abuse the right of defense."
Although "In the Name of Law" and "Justifiable Defense" are broadcast on different platforms and both tell stories related to the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs, one has already ended and the other has just started, so it is not really a complete confrontation. What's more, both dramas are produced by the Film and Television Center of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, so there is no need for them to fight on the first day.
You know, viewers can watch more than one drama in the same time slot. The quality and reputation of the drama are the key to retaining the audience. Instead of fussing about it, it is better to polish the drama carefully. It is better for a hundred flowers to bloom than for one flower to bloom.
