Updated the aftermath of episode 6, let's discuss (tu) on (cao) together.
Let me start by talking about my expectations for the TV series as a viewer who doesn't know anything about the original comics.
I expect it to be a cool drama based on the present and beyond the present, that is, limited by the rules of reality, filled with the idea of blood, to achieve the effect of miraculous shape and spirit, it should give ordinary people, give understanding life to obey the rules but not willing to the status quo Ordinary man-made dreams with dreams and hard work.
Looking forward to seeing the one-strand ex-convict male protagonist Park Shilu with his partners: a rebellious girl with an IQ of 160+, the second-generation chaebol of the enemy's son, a waiter of a former gang member, an unidentified chef with unknown sexual orientation, a real chef from Guinea Crooked nuts, starting from the barbecue restaurant "Sweet Chestnut", have been continuously upgraded, bigger and stronger, and advanced to the completion of "Itaewon CLASS".
Looking forward to seeing the anti-social heroine Zhao Yirui and the self-interested heroine Wu Xiuya, starting with the male hero Park Shilu, a fight that begins with a man's battle in three views and ends in a career, does not play cards according to common sense, and has a bottom line and no lower limit. .
As for the rivalry between the male protagonist and the absolute leader of the male second elder family, Da Hee, I am not particularly looking forward to it. The collapse of the elder's family is inevitable, but the root cause is not the external impact represented by Park Shilu, but the decay and decay of its own foundation. I hope that Park Shilu will not live in the shadow of revenge all the time, but will create a splendid life that shines like the dazzling neon of Itaewon.
The reason why I wanted to watch "Itaewon CLASS" in the first place was very simple. "The drama is about the small streets of the miniature world of Itaewon. The young people gathered together because of will and vitality are free to pursue. Their respective values, compose the "hip" rebellion story of the entrepreneurial myth." Introduction, I thought this was a purely entrepreneurial drama.
There is not much innovation in the previous background explanation and character establishment. The center is established with heart-wrenching lines, the characters are drawn delicately, and the unexpected plot advances the plot. If you are in a TV drama school, because of the blessing of IP and actors, it should be one of the best. Upstream sweet baby. Although unreasonable logic and slightly didactic content do exist, the essence is entrepreneurship, so the story starts to get exciting when it comes to the current timeline.
As the title says, the first highlight of the show (the performances of Park Huizi and Sun Yingdi, of course, can't be said, because they can't be said, so it's not a surprise) comes from a woman with small eyes and a big face, who is full of world-weariness and rebellion. Lord Zhao Yirui. It's probably "one-kiss fixation syndrome". He has brought filters to characters with high IQ since he was a child, so this small social media celebrity, with a competitive spirit written on his face, uses a video and a slap, and playful His little tongue hit my cool point exactly. He is a master who plays cards out of common sense. He is worthy of the IQ given by God. The mentality of hoping that the earth will explode is just the crazy temptation of geniuses on the edge of lunatics. I want to see how she uses her brain to add buffs to the team in the future, and she is also curious about her alternative cultivation of Park Shilu.
In addition to the opening highlights and the heroine, I am also quite interested in the story line of the egoistic female second. I don't know why the barrage has already turned on the "crazy abuse mode" for her in one or two episodes, and I have not opened the perspective of God. On the contrary, I feel that this character is a connection point between the TV series and reality, just like "The Next Stop is Happiness" next door. The 32-year-old heroine and the young, handsome and golden wolf dog are in love with each other, and they are also beaten by the 36-year-old unconventional boss old fox. The routine is chasing backwards, and it is so beautiful that only her female colleague Cong Xiao is in the old practice "choose a high-quality person who can support yourself" to talk about marriage, which seems out of place in the whole style of painting. The second female lead in this drama also gave me the same feeling. Others either took the counterattack script of the hot-blooded young man, or they were infighting dramas in the chaebol family. Only she has to be a functional character serving the two stories, and also In the background of growing up in an orphanage, she has to be a vicious female supporting actress to withstand the anger of the audience. However, to ask a girl who has been struggling with food and clothing for more than ten years to surpass herself and become a virgin, I don’t think it is better to accept funding like this (and it has always been the parents who are funding her, and the father of the first male also represented the company before) , Entering the group to betray her friend's conscience and continue to make things worse, she is at least a woman who refuses the pursuit of the second generation of waste wood rich. On the one hand, she rejects silly white sweetness. On the one hand, it condemns the scheming girl. Some viewers, you are really demanding, scolding and scolding, don't swipe the screen in the barrage, okay?
Finally, the background of Itaewon is also a highlight. The small United Nations in South Korea not only has exotic flavors, but also has chaebol mansions. When traveling to South Korea, don’t just wander around Myeongdong and Seoul Tower. Itaewon is also a good place to eat and drink. A friend of mine who likes photography commented that it is especially suitable for filming. Hong Xitian, who made a cameo appearance in the second episode, is really a big family in Itaewon. There are various types of food shops in Itaewon. I have eaten in a western restaurant, which is an innovative fusion dish, and the taste and impression are very deep.
Only four episodes have been updated so far, and I can't draw a firm conclusion yet, but in this environment, I feel that I need a little bit of indomitable blood and courage and mutual support to keep warm.
Update after watching the six episodes:
"Sweet Night" (the translation has changed again, people who don't understand Korean have to follow the crowd) All the members have assembled, congratulations!
The heroine and the second girl really lived up to their expectations, and the head-to-head confrontation directly broke, wonderful! Both of them are not good, they have their own psychological problems, one is based on IQ, the other is based on qualifications, with a smile on the face and hatred in the mouth, sparks are flying, it is really enjoyable. Compared with the female second swearing to take the villain's road to the black, the screenwriter's portrayal of the heroine is obviously more laborious, whether it is thinking about the contradictory game between mother and self-expectation, or throwing fourteen slaps in the street. , and the cuteness of preventing the second female lead from hugging the male protagonist while frankly telling the truth about the report, all of which helped Zhao Yirui to become the first high-profile role in Korean dramas this year.
On the contrary, it is the male protagonist Shilu played by Park Weizi. He has goals, motives, tenacity, principles, and vision, but because there is no highlight, he relies on his lines to help him, like a silly white sweet who got the wrong script, and his opponent's family. That foolish eldest son has an inexplicable sense of CP.
Screenwriter, please be sober, the audience wants to see the female and the female two evenly confronted, but they do not want to see the male protagonist fall in love or sway from side to side. The former is the complete embellishment of the female protagonist, and the latter is the warning of the collapse of the male protagonist. We just want to Watching him develop a career and become a strong man, I don't want to watch him play the Virgin Mary as a lover.
Of course, the amount of information at the end of this episode is quite large (if the exposure of the trump card is purely for the sake of the second female lead, it will be really haha), let's see if there is any substantive content to support it later.
