Today, let's talk about Korean actress Lee Young- ae .

Born in 1971, graduated from Hanyang University Graduate School with a Ph.D. in Drama and Film Studies.

With a high degree of education, few scandals and a good image, she is known as the "Oxygen Beauty".

Lee Young-ae started her acting career in 1993, and in 2003, she became popular all over Asia for her role in "Dae Jang Geum".

He has participated in more than 30 series and 2 movie performances, and in 2005, he walked on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival.

In 2011, Lee Young-ae gave birth to a pair of twins in Seoul.

Later, she shifted her focus to her family and chose to retire to be with her husband and children at home.

She only began to return to the screen in 2019. Last year, she starred in "Gu Jingyi", which was her comeback after four years of absence from the screen .

Although the ratings are not high, she said that she has a 50% rating. For her, shooting works that she finds enjoyable is the most important thing.

Some people say that TV dramas with poor ratings are not good-looking.

Good works can stand up to the precipitation of time, and good dramas are worth revisiting after many years .

Last year, the ratings of TV dramas starring Lee Young-ae, Jeon Do-yeon and Ko Hyun-jung were not very high. Does it mean that the dramas are not good-looking?

People of their age have already seen through the ups and downs of Korean entertainment. When they were popular, they were no less than any top Korean entertainment now.

Now, acting is more of a job, a passion, an experience, and a dedication.

Maybe today's teenagers or twenties don't know Li Ying'ai, but many years ago, she was loved and recognized by the audience, both for her looks and her acting skills.

During that time, she also took many good works, among which are——

"Common Security Area"

The film, which aired in 2000, saw director Park Chan-wook become one of the biggest directors in South Korea, in which he showed an unusual mindset and eschewed the stereotypes of typical Korean films.

As for what he showed to the audience, Korean directors dared to make films with such sensitive subjects and political issues 20 years ago.

There are too many classic movies between North and South Korea, including the previous hit drama "Crash Landing on Love" and the movie "Mogadishu";

And this type of film is enduring in the hearts of Chinese people, and this "Common Security Zone" has created the peak of this type of film .

This story is based on the relationship between the North and South of the Korean peninsula .

As we all know, South and North Korea have always had a delicate relationship.

South Korea has a national law that prohibits nationals from contacting North Korea.

A girl's hat was blown within the boundary of the other party, and she dared not go to pick it up.

Not only the problem of picking up hats, but also to be careful whether your shadow will cross the line, the national law is so "strict".

At the beginning of the story, North Korean soldiers (Shin Ha Kyun) in the post of the Common Security Zone on the border of Panmunjom were killed by unidentified bullets, triggering a gun battle between the two Koreas.

North Korean soldiers were killed, most likely by South Korean soldiers who were also on the border.

However, the South Korean side accused North Korea of ​​initiating the incident first, and both sides believed that the other party should be responsible for it.

To resolve the headless case, the North and South agreed to a neutral country to coordinate the investigation.

Swiss nationality Korean girl Sophie (Lee Young-ae) is sent to investigate the incident.

On the Korean side, Lee Soo Hyuk (played by Lee Byung Hun) has always remained silent and said nothing.

On the other hand, the survivor Oh Kyung -bi (Song Kang-ho) on the North Korean side showed hostility, and things were confusing.

With the in-depth understanding, Sophie discovered that there was a hidden inside story, and there were other people at the scene...

At the end of the story, friends who have watched "Mogadishu" will surely find their common ground.

The ending was so wonderful, exciting and sad.

When the picture was frozen at the last moment, the corners of the four people's mouths rose slightly, doomed to the sadness of this film.

" Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other ."

War is cruel, but human nature is warm.

What separates people is not hatred, but politics.

The same language, the same nation, but only because of different doctrines can not meet.

The film does not stand on the top of morality to criticize politics and history, but starts with a murder case.

He integrates the most simple emotions into it, and brings out the light of human nature , and the tragic ending makes people ponder the original sin of war.

The original intention of watching this film was to indulge in the beauty of Li Ying Ae at that time, but in the end I was moved by this story.

The director did not deliberately provocative, but he described the brotherhood across the bridge in a profound and continuous manner.

All in all, this is a movie worth watching.
