In my opinion, an important reason why this movie is called the dark horse of the year by netizens is that the characters are very full.

People are not absolutely kind, nor are they absolutely terrible. The characters in this film do not have a very fixed concept that defines good and bad guys, which is different from many other films that focus on highlighting the characteristics of the characters.

The characters in some movies are too obvious to be kind or hateful. However, in this movie, each character has his own multi-faceted story, which makes the viewer unconsciously have the urge to watch and want to watch. You have to understand this character.

Yes, everyone has their own story, their own past, their own past, and memories will not progress with the passage of time.

Ma Xianyong, a character in the movie, used to work as a police assistant and helped the police to make a lot of achievements. However, because of a drunk driving incident, his life changed dramatically. Unfortunately, his wife also died in the accident, and he never worked as a co-police officer again.

He used to be so shining, but now he is indeed so downcast. He once seemed so upright, but now he is always taking advantage of petty gains, and even has no money to pay tuition for his daughter. He keeps putting it off, so that It's so helpless to try to delay time with some fruit...

He is such a seemingly incompetent father, but he loves his daughter deeply.

Secondly, in my opinion, there is another reason why this movie is called the dark horse of the year by netizens. It is the authenticity of this movie. Real things are often the easiest to touch people's hearts, and ordinary people's hearts. Although life is ordinary, if you think about it carefully, it still makes sense.
