Overall it's not bad, it was 3 stars at the beginning, and then one star was added.
The reason for playing Samsung at the beginning is very simple. I don’t like the subject matter of this drama very much. In that era when women have no human rights, to film a woman’s role, in addition to completely imagining it, it can only be made into a sad story that satirizes reality. . Moreover, it is the subject of prostitutes, their sensitive and ambiguous identities, in history, will always go forward or not, they will always be wrong, they are all scolding, and they can't help themselves.
And this drama also takes these into account, so that the story is not blindly realistic, but the first half is a bit like a comedy with a strange style, sometimes revealing a soul-stirring meaning. (But to be honest, I still think this is a tragedy. The British drama is not an American drama, and the plot is all in the writer's mind. If this drama had been set up earlier, I don't think it could have a happy ending.)
The pros of this show are the soundtrack and the ingenious story, but the downside is the prostitute's overly fancy and clean dresses and the sister (the heroine?) who can't hold up her aura. She is supposed to be the heroine, educated, foreigner Soft and rigid, with a cold heart that is not suitable for being a prostitute. She should have a lot of tangled and contradictory inner dramas, and she should be the most immersive role for the audience, and this actor's performance is really... Let the audience only feel that she is only hesitant, cowardly and incompetent, and there is no such thing at all. A kind of elegant but firmly beautiful "brothel's flower" feeling.
There is also the fact that each of the male characters here is extremely disgusting, and each of them seems to have perverted desires hidden in them. (It is possible that the screenwriter did it on purpose, so I will not complain.) Others are unanimously disgusting. The first thing that made me uncomfortable was that he raped his sister (the sister doesn't count, it can only be regarded as a helpless voluntary transaction). Many people think that a prostitute is rape, and it is a prostitute who is caring for it. In fact, let us change the way of thinking. For prostitutes, the body is a commodity, willing to buy and sell, OK, but forced buying and selling is rape. The younger sister received the money, and her attitude was ambiguous. It was considered a voluntary transaction, but the elder sister clearly said no, but she still insisted on sex control regardless of her wishes. And the following behaviors all have the essence of "I want you to want it", plus the person's neuroticism, it reveals a perversion. Coupled with the fact that a large part of what he lavished on his sister was his wife's dowry, I could only be... even more contemptuous. How can there be a barrage of true love? Cowardly, addicted to sensuality, slightly abnormal mentality... I can only draw this conclusion, if it were me, I would rather be a ruthless person who I don't know when I get out of bed.
In the environment where the bg line has collapsed, the only pair of GLs is extremely beautiful. The little nun gives the money, the prostitute pays the money, and in the atmosphere of the lines and eyes, pure love, ambiguous and erotic, want to talk, but refuse to welcome. TM's is love, and the perverted desire reactions in the bg line are all things! Of course, it is difficult to have love because of the natural status difference between a client and a prostitute, but those servants are not flattering either. After the little nun served the sick mother, she ran downstairs for that kiss, she relaxed in tension, and her expression was filled with indulgent erotic desire. Why is there no desire for this kind of beauty in the bg line? Can the screenwriter make up a slightly more suspenseful romance in the next episode? Without Su's character design, it's okay to have a little more sincere feelings? Stop being all about money and lust.
