(Because I haven't read it, I can't recommend it yet.)
Let's travel back in time and go back to the 50-meter air pistol competition venue at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The 17-year-old South Korean teenager Jiang Zhe still has one last shot. He must hit the bullseye to win the championship. At the last second of the countdown, Jiang Zhe shot, 10.9 rings, and he won the Olympic championship. Wait, if I remember correctly, there seems to be no such person as Jiang Zhe among the shooting champions of the Athens Olympics.
Of course, this is not important, let's continue to look at Jiang Zhe's open life. When he returned to his home in South Korea to find his entire family had been killed, and then police found his gun in a nearby garbage dump, he became the prime suspect. A prosecutor seeking the upper hand wants his case as a stepping stone, arguing for Jiang Zhe to be sentenced to death. However, in the end, Jiang Zhe was acquitted due to insufficient evidence. Through hard work, he became a big chaebol with assets of hundreds of billions of won. In order to find the murderer of his family, he acquired a TV station to rectify unjust cases for the people, which made him gain a high reputation.
Finally one day, a mysterious man called and said there was a clue to the murderer and asked him to take him to the rooftop. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by the mysterious man and was shot several times. Just as Jiang Zhe was about to die, he saw a door of light appearing out of thin air beside him. He stretched out his hand from the door of light, and then caught a girl in. This girl saved his life, but also destroyed his life. She brought bad news that Jiang Zhe was not a real person, he was just the protagonist of a comic. Jiang Zhe's heart was broken. He decided to go to the real world and ask the cartoonist who created him for an explanation.
This is the story of the first few episodes of the Korean drama "W-Two Worlds". The so-called two worlds are the real world and the comic world. The hero Jiang Zhe is the protagonist of the comic world, and the heroine is the daughter of the comic artist in the real world. If the time-travel dramas we watched in the past are time-travels that travel through the past and the future, then the time-travel in this Korean drama is a space-travel in the second and third dimensions.
You know, there are always some anti-bone boys in this world who are unwilling to accept the arrangement of fate, and insist on getting thorns. So when Jiang Zhe questioned "Who are you" to the sky, we knew that this Korean drama was not going to play happily. Just like those of Jiang Zhe's fellows. Like Cybertron's Transformers, who fought against the creator's five-faced monster with revenge, or like Machina who brutally killed her creator and then opened the glass cage and walked into the wilderness, or like Neo who refused to listen to advice and chose to swallow it. red pill. And the bear children in "The Hunger Games", "Maze Runner" and "Divergent", why can't they accept the arrangements of adults?
Perhaps the most similar fate to Jiang Zhe is Sophie in "Sophie's World". It seems that in our boyhood, everyone will read "The World of Sophie", which is a philosophical enlightenment book about a little girl named Sophie, under the guidance of an unfamiliar philosopher, learn European philosophy, and realizing that it is nothing but the process of being created by a certain writer. Specifically, the character Sophie was created by the "major" for his daughter Sid's philosophical enlightenment. How similar, the comic "W" is just a book written by the cartoonist for himself and his daughter. Then, their characters have a sense of autonomy. Therefore, they intend to escape from the created world in order to obtain the meaning of real life.
At the end of the book "The World of Sophie", through the escape of Sophie, we are finally taught a lesson about existentialism. I think that's also where this Korean drama really shines. Especially when Jiang Zhe was arranged by the cartoonist to commit suicide by jumping into the river, but grabbed the railing at the last moment, he actually rejected the fate that God arranged for him. Since the world is not benevolent, we can only fight to the death. Camus, the great existentialist, believes that if a person wants to maximize his life, he cannot escape, and he must rely on courage and reason: "The former lets him know that he does not need to pray to be religious in life, but to know and accept himself; the latter allows him to know and accept himself. He understands his limitations. He understands the limitations of freedom...and the mortalities of man, and he can live to the fullest in his lifetime."
To be honest, I really didn't expect watching a Korean drama to remind me of Camus, I even thought of Nietzsche's "God is dead". In my opinion, a good sci-fi work should not be low in the world view and not stupid in the plot. I don't know how the show will develop, maybe like The Matrix, the cartoonist and heroine are fictional characters with a layer of world outside of them. However, no matter how many layers of the world there are, their fate is in the hands of the true God, the screenwriter Song Jae Jung.
Korean dramas are an industry where screenwriters are king, and there are several god-level screenwriters in this field. Their works are completely different from other Korean dramas. For example, Li Youjing, the screenwriter of "Reply 1988", Kim Eun-hee, the screenwriter of "Signal", Song Jae-jung, the screenwriter of "W-Two Worlds", and Song Jae-jung's other classic drama is "Nine Time Travel". It was a time travel drama. Every time the protagonist changed the past, unexpected changes took place in the future. It looks like the plot is similar to "The Butterfly Effect", but if the protagonist goes back nine times, do you know what the chaos will be like in the future world? It is said that Song Zaizheng spent 3 years writing the script in order to clarify the clues and prevent bugs. During this period, in order to get familiar with the mode of time-travel dramas, he also created a time-travel drama "Queen Inhyun's Man". By the way.
Because the brain hole is too big, it becomes very difficult to get the drama back. We can only wait and see if the characters written by Song Zaizheng will be out of her control. Although in reality, the characters in Chinese works will not really come to life, but you have to believe that any character, once created, will really have its own will and life. It is said that when Tolstoy wrote Anna Karenina to death, some readers were very unhappy: "Why did you let Anna die?" Tolstoy replied: "I can't help it. She wants to die herself. ."
