"Born by Chance" is a TV series with suspenseful cases as the main line, which should have been able to attract the attention of a large number of viewers. However, according to the general feedback from the audience, the plot of the series is chaotic and illogical, and it fails to effectively stimulate the emotional resonance of the audience. Although the suspense case provided momentum for the plot at the beginning, as the series deepened, the proportion of emotional dramas gradually increased, making the suspense elements marginalized, and the plot became lengthy and lacking tension. Although this play shows some complex character relationships, the behavior of these characters lacks sufficient rationality, especially Du Xiangdong's investigation process, which is full of loopholes. The failure of other detective characters to effectively demonstrate their due intelligence and abilities further exacerbates the imbalance of the plot, resulting in a gradual diminishing of the show's appeal and audience participation.

"Born by Fate" established a suspense case as the main plot clue at the beginning, but as the plot developed, this clue was gradually covered by emotional drama, resulting in a gradual weakening of the sense of suspense. In suspense dramas, the case is the core driving force that drives the plot. Good suspense dramas often create a tense atmosphere and maintain the audience's curiosity through layers of analysis, meticulous reasoning, and clever clue settings. However, "Born by Life" fails to do this, and the suspenseful cases are gradually replaced by unsolved questions and emotional dramas, making the rhythm of the whole series seem sluggish and weak.
This problem with the plot structure not only affects the coherence of the story, but also affects the emotional investment of the audience. Some key plot advancements seem abrupt, such as the breakthrough of the case is often not fully foreshadowed, and the relationship between the characters does not effectively show its complexity. For example, at the critical moments of some case solving, the audience barely sees Du Xiangdong or other criminal police characters conducting detailed reasoning and analysis, but abruptly jumps to the conclusion, which makes the plot lack the necessary tension and traceability.
In addition, the lack of logic in the behavior of the characters in the play is also one of the problems. The motives and behaviors of the characters are often self-explanatory, especially in the process of advancing some suspenseful cases, and the audience is often confused. For example, Du Xiangdong's investigation process as a protagonist is too simple and sloppy, lacking the meticulous reasoning and logic required in suspense dramas. This lack of logical support for the plot arrangement makes the suspenseful atmosphere of the whole drama gradually dissipate, and the audience's interest also declines.

The addition of emotional dramas should have provided more layers for character creation and enhanced the audience's emotional resonance, but in "Born by Life", emotional dramas are particularly abrupt, and even become a burden that drags down the development of the plot. In fact, the combination of romantic elements and suspenseful atmosphere is not impossible to succeed, and many excellent suspense dramas cleverly incorporate emotional threads at the right time. However, the emotional line in "Born by Borrowed Life" has little to do with the case itself, and the development of the emotional drama seems to be too hasty and immediate, lacking natural foreshadowing and rhythm. In particular, the emotional development between Du Xiangdong and other criminal police officers seems too hasty and lacks depth and realism. This makes the audience unable to devote themselves to the emotional world of the characters, but will feel that the plot is fragmented and loses the suspenseful and tense atmosphere it deserves.
For example, the emotional scene between Du Xiangdong and a female character seems a bit stiff and unreal, which not only does not promote the development of the plot, but slows down the progress of the case. The emotional drama in the suspense drama should be closely integrated with the case, which can stimulate the inner contradictions and emotional conflicts of the characters in the process of solving the case, so as to enhance the layering and tension of the story. However, the emotional drama in "Born by Fate" loosens the rhythm of the plot, weakens the suspenseful atmosphere, and weakens the audience's emotional resonance.

The characterization in suspense dramas is crucial, especially the protagonist's investigative process and reasoning ability, which directly determines the credibility and attractiveness of the plot. Unfortunately, in "Born by Borrowing Life", Du Xiangdong's investigation process as the protagonist lacks rigor, and the characters' behaviors often seem unreasonable. As a criminal policeman, Du Xiangdong's investigation methods in many cases are too simple and rough, which is not only inconsistent with the complexity of criminal investigation work in reality, but also contrary to the reasoning and meticulous observation required by suspense dramas.
What's even more prominent is that the other criminal police characters in the play also failed to show the professionalism and wisdom they should have. Many times, their participation seems to be just to move the story forward, without actually making a contribution. There is a detective character in the play who is set up as a loyal assistant, but his role in the plot is not prominent, and sometimes it even seems to have no sense of existence. This makes it difficult for the audience to feel identified with these characters or even empathize with their actions. The lack of character creation makes the progress of the whole story seem bland, lacking the tension and complexity that a suspense drama should have.

The contradiction between the plot and the motivations of the characters in "Born by Life" is another issue that cannot be ignored. At some key plot twists, the motivations and actions of the characters are often difficult to understand. A typical example is Xu Wenguo's wound recovery process after escaping in a cryocar. There is no reasonable explanation in the play, Xu Wenguo's recovery after the injury was too fast, and even basic medical knowledge was ignored. This sloppy handling not only undermines the plausibility of the series, but also makes the audience doubt the plot.
In addition, the motivations of the characters in the play often seem far-fetched. For example, some characters change their behavior at critical moments without warning and without adequate psychological motivation analysis. The actions of the characters in a suspense drama should be well thought out and have a clear psychological motivation in order to move the plot forward and attract the audience's attention. The motivations of the characters in "Born by Borrowed Life" often seem unreasonable and lack the necessary logical support, resulting in a great reduction in the credibility of the plot.

In addition to the problems of the plot and characters, the director's use of the camera and the control of the plot rhythm are also a shortcoming in "Born by Life". Some of the lengthy shots in the play fail to enhance the emotional expression, but instead make the tight rhythm of the suspense script drag. Especially in the tense stages of the case, the director made the plot that should have developed rapidly slow and lengthy through long camera stops and excessive descriptions. This imbalance in rhythm caused the audience to feel tired and distracted easily during the viewing process, and it was difficult to maintain their attention to the case, which affected the viewing experience of the entire series.

In general, although "Born by Life" has some highlights in the performance of the actors and the portrayal of some characters, the chaos of the overall plot, the delay in the rhythm and the lack of rationality in the behavior of the characters have caused this suspense drama to fail to reach the height it should have. In the production of modern suspense dramas, how to balance emotional drama and suspense elements, and ensure that the characters' behaviors are reasonable and have intrinsic motives, is a problem that the producer must pay attention to. Whether it is the polishing of the script or the control of the rhythm, it needs to be carefully designed to ensure that the audience always maintains a high level of engagement and suspense during the process of chasing the drama.
