- Abstract
Legal drama is a typical type of film and television whose storytelling and plot design generally draw lessons from Western experience, highlighting the clash between positive and negative elements. It tends to emphasize intricate plotlines, striving for intense suspense and intense conflicts. However, an overreliance on Western storytelling can sometimes lead to an overemphasis on curiosity and violence, creating a disconnect from the daily lives and social realities of the Chinese populace. Therefore, it is crucial to undertake narrative innovation grounded in a profound understanding of China’s legal system and societal sentiments, producing legal dramas that not only convey socialist values but also meet the aesthetic needs of the audience. “Draw the Line,” a TV drama deeply rooted in China’s judicial reform journey, stands out for its focus on the nation’s social reality. Through a narrative approach rooted in real-life experiences and warm realism, it breaks away from the stereotypes of traditional legal dramas. This innovative approach paves the way for legal dramas that authentically integrate the Chinese experience and characteristics.
