In memory of Lord Darwin

On February 28, 1965 of the People's Republic of China, that is, the day when the TV bureau ratings of "My Love from the Stars" far exceeded Beijing's PM2.5 value, I was wandering alone in the office and met a certain gentleman. , came to ask me, "Have you ever written anything for Professor Du?" I said "no". She warned me, "Sir, let's just write a little bit; this drama is getting old..."

But I really have nothing to say, because I have always been disdainful of Korean dramas, and the closest Korean drama to me may be traced back to my memory. In the long-term era of "Overpass", I have repeatedly shouted out in public, "cherish life and stay away from Korean dramas".

People are tough, and I have betrayed my revolutionary ideals due to the violent impact of recent ideological trends. That day, I hid in the office and pulled the playback box to the minimum to play "My Love from the Stars" on demand. I happened to meet a female colleague. When I knocked on the door, I hurriedly pressed the power switch of the monitor and stood up with a red face.

The female colleague looked at me rubbing my hands and sweating and bowing my head, and then looked at the pitch-black display screen and the windy chassis, she exclaimed in surprise, "Are you secretly watching porn!"

"No, no, absolutely not..." Although I defended, I couldn't stop her hand from turning on the computer screen. The pause screen of Professor Du and Qian Songyi appeared in this embarrassing scene.

The female colleague exclaimed again, "Ah, you are actually watching "You Who Came From the Stars"!!!"

As soon as these words came out, it was really humiliating. The mouth that wants to confide "No, no, absolutely no, I'm really watching porn!!!" In

private, I once discussed with my friends the shameful question of "Do you want to watch Korean dramas?" As far as South Korea is concerned, a watershed has gradually emerged between the two countries in film and television culture. Watching Japan in TV dramas and watching Korea in movies can already be regarded as a more ethical guideline for watching movies at the moment.

For a man, watching Korean dramas is like "a real warrior who dares to face the bleak life and dripping blood". It can be said that whether it is "You Who Came From the Star" or "The Heirs", watching one wave after another such as The handsome guy who can't be cut like leeks in spring, when he turned around and took out the mirror, he really wanted to sing a black panther's "Being Ashamed".

Some people say that you can look at women without looking at men. Nonsense, of course I know. However, due to the long-term influence of Fusang's neighbors, Chinese men's recognition of women is far from enough to rely on facial features. Coupled with South Korea's peculiar handicraft - plastic surgery, people have a kind of "similar to the flowers every year, every year. In other words, we are always prone to face blindness in the face of Korean female stars. For example, when I judge whether an MTV is Girls' Generation, After School, or Tara, my secret is definitely not to watch. Where is Kim Taeyeon, but relying on counting the sum of her thighs.

It is precisely because of the highly recognizable Jun Ji-hyun of "My Love from the Star" that I really found a reason to persuade myself to watch it. Jeon Ji-hyun, when I was in touch with Korean films, she did not have Shen Yinhe's gentleness in "August Photo Studio", and Sun Yezhen's tenderness in "If Love Had Providence". She became popular from "Savage Girl" because of "Savage Girl". Let the public frame her in a very limited range, making all her efforts other than "barbaric" seem so weak. So this time she is back on the track of "Secondary Second", and no one can really replace this feeling of Jun Zhixian.

Of course, "My Love From the Star" is not a superficial work. In the more than ten years of Korean drama's evolution, this urban emotional TV series mixed with the spirit of "Into Science" has finally liberated its mind from Korean-style car accident highlights and terminal illness encyclopedia. To a limited extent, science fiction, fantasy, history, etc., those strange things that were never seen in the original soap operas were mixed in. At the same time, for the majority of male compatriots who are sometimes forced to watch with them, "My Love from the Star" is no longer like "Miss Mermaid" and "The Temptation of Wife", which are often in hundreds of episodes. No expiry."

In this day when everyone has social phobia, I believe that many people are like me. In order to participate in the context of WeChat or Weibo, in addition to asking each other "Have you eaten?", you can also have a happy discussion. Fried chicken and beer, you have to bite the bullet and watch this divine drama. If you really don't want to watch it, I will teach you a way to pretend to be stupid:

Q: Have you watched "You Who Came From the Stars"?

Answer: Is this another translation of Darwin's On the Origin of Species?
