Legend has it that "The Queen Mother" has higher ratings than "Xing You". I watched "The Queen Mother" with great curiosity and suspicion. In the impression of Korean dramas, I just happen to have only the two of them. So let's do a comparison.
Looking at the actors, compare the actor Song Joong-ki of "The Queen Mother" with Kim Soo-hyun of "Star You". In terms of appearance, Song Joong-ki looks too ordinary at first glance in the first episode. Let's compare the stills of Kim Soo-hyun of "Star You" , is simply worlds apart. They have also been beautified by the camera. Song Zhongji emphasized the whiteness of the little white face and the cuteness of the baby face, just like a little brother next door. In contrast, Kim Soo Hyun is called natural beauty, and the almost perfect facial features are like being refined. It seems that it has been carefully crafted, how to look good, with the deepness of the uncle, the degree of handsomeness is simply incomparable. In terms of acting skills, the two are on a par. It must be said that without Song Zhongji, "The Queen Mother" can basically be defined as a bad film. Song Joong Ki performed a new level of handsomeness by relying on his not handsome appearance. Why do you evaluate it this way? In fact, many people think that when the protagonist just appeared in the first episode, the aura of the second male lead almost overwhelmed him, and even thought he was the second male. But as the plot deepened, I gradually found that he became more and more attractive, more and more into his heart, and finally had to shout, "So handsome!" He completely forgot his previous definition of "not handsome". Looking at the heroine, from my personal perspective, Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun are incomparable in all aspects. Speaking of appearance, the former's body is not as good as the latter's, and in terms of temperament, the former's temperament is not as good as the latter's, and in terms of acting skills, the former's acting skills are not as good as the latter's. Let's talk about male two female two, I don't want to make it too harsh, but I really think they don't act well. Especially the second female, who doesn't participate in the drama at all, and is always wandering in the mind. But I think she looks pretty, but it's just a vase.
Looking at the plot, "The Queen Mother" has no plot at all. The content of the story is roughly that the soldier Liu Shizhen met the doctor Jiang Muyan in the hospital. They broke up because of different values. Then they met again unexpectedly in a foreign country. After experiencing life and death mutual rescue and then making an appointment for a meeting, it's over. The story doesn't have many ups and downs, although it seems that there have been climaxes, but after reading it, it doesn't feel like it. For example, when Jiang Muyan was in danger for the first time, Liu Shizhen was like Yudu Minjun's ability, and the hero came to his side in the blink of an eye from thousands of miles away. Save the beauty. Another example is that Liu Shizhen was shot three times, and there was no thrilling atmosphere at all. The first time he blocked the bullet for Jiang Muyan, he was completely uninjured. The second time he was shot by the machine gun, he had lost his breath, and suddenly he went down unharmed. He ran to the ground; he was shot for the third time, and he was bleeding profusely, but it appeared again at the end of the 15 episodes after being missing for dozens of minutes. This story is really bland enough. The guy who played the villain came out and hung up after a few shakes. Netizens opened their own brains and imagined that the big BOSS behind it was Danny. I was also thinking that if Danny wasn't the villain, he was basically a superfluous character in the show. Even the finale that everyone is looking forward to is not what they are looking forward to. Netizens once made a variety of guesses about the ending. One of them imagined that all the stories were a dream made by ordinary soldier Liu Shizhen, and when they woke up, they found that everything was fake. I can't help but marvel at this man's imagination, a hundred times better than the screenwriter of "The Queen Mother". It's a pity that the netizens are all self-motivated, and the screenwriter said to the reporter with disdain: "How can I be so stupid?"
The most unacceptable thing is that the finale of "The Queen Mother" has no ending at all. The two didn't get married, they didn't break up, and the relationship didn't develop further -- do you want to ask me where my thoughts went? Yes, I was talking about rolling the sheets. As the saying goes, when the love is strong, the water will come naturally, and this pair of men and women have passed their thirties and become members of the army of leftover men and women. After nearly three years of life and death, they still maintain spiritual love. ? Is this an ending acceptable to the audience?
The plot of "Star You" is relatively exciting. A murder case is interspersed in it, which closely links the fate of the heroine and pushes the love of the hero and heroine to a climax. However, the theme of Korean dramas is basically love, and the plot is relatively simple, which is understandable. But please, why call it "Descendants of the Sun" if you want to keep it simple? Let's just call it "Captain Liu and Doctor Jiang". A majestic house was built, and the people inside were holding hands and falling in love, but they didn't hold a wedding!
Looking at the details, the background of the story of "The Queen Mother" is the army and the hospital. When it comes to professional things, "The Queen Mother" is completely acting as a sketch. Many people on the Internet complained that Jiang Muyan was involved in any department, and they didn't know which department it was. Captain Liu first aid Jiang Muyan was even said to be super unprofessional. In episode 13, Captain Liu was shot and rushed to the emergency room covered in blood. Jiang Muyan cried and rescued her, but her heart stopped in the end. Originally, this episode was very exciting and made me cry. But the scene of the drama happened. Captain Liu woke up by himself. Not only did he wake up, but he also went down to the ground and started running vigorously. This surprised me! Is it because he is the protagonist that he can be so willful?
If it is said that medical things are completely incomprehensible to us laymen, we can still be fooled, but ordinary people can’t understand boxing skills, so we can still understand them. In the scene where Yoo Si-jin fights with the underworld in episode 1, it's so fake it's disgusting. If Song Zhongji can't do it, you can always hire a substitute. Isn't it saying that "The Empress Dowager" cost all the money? Even save this money? In episode 15, Captain Liu and Xu Darong were both shot. They were already bleeding heavily and were about to fall into a coma. In episode 16, Captain Liu said that they were taken into the dungeon by the militia for 155 days, more than 5 months, without treatment, and were beaten. , is still alive and well. The writers should have stated if they were infused with the energy of the alien Do Min-joon to be able to King Kong not bad. Soldiers and doctors are the busiest occupations, but Liu Shizhen and Jiang Muyan always look like they are doing nothing, walking slowly and moving slowly. Liu Shizhen has a memory about his comrade-in-arms, that is, in a rescue operation, his comrade-in-arms was shot and died in front of the helicopter. Is this like a special forces operation? The special forces in the American blockbuster have to quickly board the plane while covering firepower before boarding the plane, while the comrade in Ryu Shizhen smiled and strolled. ?
The professional performance in "Star You" is relatively easy. The professor can just read the lines on the podium. Jun Ji-hyun is a veteran actor, so there is no comparison.
Tucao so much is the rhythm of looking for scolding. Since "The Empress Dowager" is said to be so bad, why are you still chasing it? Even at the cost of buying a member of iQiyi? It's like a glutton who says this stuff is unpalatable while feasting on it! A bit of a hooligan suspect. A lot of people have played this rogue, and there is no more than one of me. There are also reasons for this phenomenon. As far as my analysis is concerned, it can be attributed to two points.
First, the marketing of "The Queen Mother" is very successful. I don’t know how many years Korean dramas have been in China. I am too lazy to read the data. I just remember that when I was in college, my classmates were madly chasing and talking about Korean dramas. Therefore, there is a market, temperature and foundation for Korean dramas in China. It already has quite a few fans. In the past, Korean dramas were first released in South Korea, and then sold to China after they were released. "The Empress Dowager" breaks this pattern and adopts the simultaneous screening of China and South Korea. Curiosity killed the cat. Audiences who don't know the content of the next episode can't get it through South Korea, which increases the desire to chase dramas. Fresh out of the oven, it's even hotter. This is one of the marketing tactics. The second is hunger sales. Only two episodes are updated every week, which is to capture the psychology that the more you can't see it, the more you want to watch it. People are so strange, the more they can't get what they want, the more they want. The third is the mutual influence of the stars and the advertisements of the films. After the broadcast of "The Queen Mother", there were numerous advertisements about Song Zhongji, including personal promotion and film promotion. Let more people know about it and his reputation, so they all watch it with curiosity. Fourth, soft advertising. A lot of people posing as fans are hyping it up online to get more attention.
Second, Song Joong Ki's wonderful performance. It is said that the casting of "The Empress Dowager" had some twists and turns. He found N well-known and popular handsome guys who were all rejected, but Song Zhongji, who was not very famous, offered himself. Many brain residue fans say that he has a unique vision, but I don't think so. Although no one dared to announce the reason why the stars rejected this script, all fools want it because the script is really not very good and unattractive. But why did Song Joong-ki make himself famous through this script? This confirms a sentence: gold always shines. Song Zhongji, who has a wealthy second-generation background, did not take shortcuts, put down his posture, was humble, and worked hard. This is a very healthy and inspirational image.
Although the theme of "The Queen Mother" is very large, it is much bigger than "Captain America", and the framework is also larger. But the mighty sniper rifle is used to spy on the girlfriend's face wash, and the powerful ability is used to chase the girlfriend over the wall and the window. Lazar's whereabouts, the stethoscope is used to eavesdrop on the conversation between her boyfriend and other women... The heroic machismo "The Queen Mother" cannot be created, but it is still successful to become a naughty and lovely amorous boy. Song Joong Ki is very good at using his eyes to show affection. When his watery eyes stared at the heroine affectionately, the dopamine in the brains of the female fans in front of the screen increased rapidly, so that his image gradually changed from not handsome to handsome. Handsome has become handsome. Even Song Hye Kyo said that she almost had real feelings for Song Joong Ki in the play. Song Jong Ki is also very good at flirting. But it's all down to the screenwriter of "The Queen Mother". Although there is no ups and downs in the plot, the lines and jokes are more interesting, and Song Zhongji also acts very cutely, so it seems to be able to achieve the effect of relish. When Liu Shizhen was locked up, Jiang Muyan went to visit him, crying sadly across the door and asking him what he needed. Liu Shizhen said he wanted C4 and RDX, Jiang Muyan asked in surprise what it was, Liu Shizhen quipped that it was dynamite, and wanted to blow the door open to see someone. Song Joong Ki's signature playful smile is also quite provocative. When he overheard Jiang Muyan's mobile phone recording as a confession of his feelings, he was overjoyed and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This micro-expression continued to add points to his handsomeness, not to mention the plot of jumping out of the window to chase after beautiful women.
"The Queen Mother" is like an art photo, even if the background inside is just a canvas, if the model is beautiful, it can be considered seductive, and people who see it will not mind, and are willing to put it in a conspicuous position and continue to appreciate it.
