Korean anti-corruption film and television works are generally presented in the form of "individual vs. system", and the secret forest is no exception. As a suspenseful criminal investigation drama with a mediocre theme (no sci-fi elements, not a serial perverted murder case), Myison's character design for the male protagonist (almost an absolute protagonist, I feel that there are not too many dramas in Dou Na-Oni~) compares Fresh and unique, not emotional but emotionally rational, basically a human robot. No sympathy, but with its own moral values; no human touch, but hidden childhood trauma. The almost cold-blooded Huang Shimu actually came from a flesh-and-blood past. The new character of the male protagonist gives the audience a new perspective (distinguished from the previous hit Signal), and the audience can also compare it with the enthusiastic detective Han Ruzhen played by Doo Na Oni. Huang Shimu, who has no feelings, investigates cases like a robot, so he has no friends and offends countless people. What Secret Forest strives to show is not human nature against corruption, but more of how individual machines fight against institutional machines. When you do not succumb to the mainstream of society, how do you go against the current without breaking your bones, is it possible for an individual to overcome society? In the face of cruel reality, do you prefer the passion and persistence of Police Officer Lee Jaehan in Signal or the rationality and decisiveness of Prosecutor Hwang Simu in the secret forest? Cao Chengyou's acting skills are slinging and flying.
------------------------------------------
Just watched the sixth episode and Huang Jian laughed! ! ! Oh my god! ! (I can't control how many I send). In this episode, Huang Jian's characters became more plump, and he began to cooperate with the heroine. That smile not only melted the hearts of the audience (that's me), but was also the first step for him to get out of his own safe zone; Huang Jian, who was used to being alone, also learned to cooperate with others to investigate cases, and would think about himself because of the heroine's words, The contrast in singing TT is too cute; it is said that eating is an important channel for human social interaction. Huang Jian, who ate alone in each of the six episodes, also ate soup and rice with Police Officer Han. I have to pay tribute to Cao Chengyou's acting skills again. I have always looked at the cold, withdrawn and cool Huang Jian. That slight smile is really warm and heart-rending. What loneliness and trauma is represented behind this smile. The screenwriter grasped the rhythm very well, and Huang Jian's changes were not rushed and embellished his relationship with the heroine. I'm just waiting for this iceberg to melt a little bit! ! Come on, the heroine, the yellow inspection is the highest! In addition to the interaction with Officer Han Ruzhen, Huang Jian also cooperated with Rong Enxiu. In order to save Rong Jian from Xu Jian, he even acted as a domineering president. It can be regarded as a manifestation of Huang Jian's guilt and sense of responsibility. As his emotions are revealed little by little, the characters are growing and evolving. At the same time, why my focus is that Huang Jian's first skinship object is not Officer Han.
The end of episode 6 is kinda cool too. In the corridor, the scene where everyone rushed to power was spectacular. At the moment when the audience finally bowed, I can only say that Huang Jian's aura was 1.8 meters. If it is said that having feelings is a manifestation of being integrated into the mainstream, then Huang Jian, who has gradually become human, is still standing in the corridor so firmly, looking directly at Deputy Chief Li, without fear. Huang Jian is still the clear stream in the mudslide.
Episode 7~~ Ah! In this episode, I saw Huang Jian's feelings for Police Han. Huang Jian in front of Officer Han had taken off his armor. Although it cannot be defined as love, it is at least revolutionary friendship. He especially hates other people touching his huangjian. When he was looking for his mobile phone on the river bank, he was slapped on the back by the police officer. "hate" expression;
This was also seen by Officer Han, who happily drew another picture for Huang Jian; Officer Han is really a delicate character who can capture Huang Jian's emotions every time (together! Together!). Huang Jian, who came home after retrieving his mobile phone, met Rong Jian who came to visit, so he had the following actions:
As Rong Enxiu said, Inspector Huang was very disgusted by outsiders touching him, but he did not avoid being beaten by Officer Han, so it can be said that it was true love. When he is with Police Han, Huang Jian is often more relaxed, that is, he does not look like a robot, and his expression is like this:
It is said that lonely people like to put their hands in their pockets, and clothes without pockets are very uncomfortable; Officer Han drew a picture for Huang Jian twice and stuffed a note in his pocket, Huang Jian never refused, and even Keep a note at home, this is not true love? ?
Huang Jian actually put himself down in front of Officer Han unconsciously. He was also surprised that he had feelings in front of Officer Han, so he looked in the mirror and tried to restore the "angry" appearance that Officer Han described; That expression was unfamiliar to him. Well, can't talk about them anymore. At the beginning of the seventh episode, the secret forest gradually reached its climax; the murderer of President Park's murder is no longer the focus of the script, and the series of power struggles and power replacements it triggered have become increasingly tense. In addition to the collusion between the prosecution and the police, the screenwriter even introduced the military, which is rarely mentioned in film and television works, which shows the great ambition of this show. But I don't really agree with the addition of Secretary Li's monologue and memories. Although this saves a part of the script (that is, the story of Secretary Li does not need to be verified by Inspector Huang), it has shaken Huang Shimu as the absolute protagonist of the play. perspective, because normally the audience's understanding of the inner world of the supporting role should be limited. Before watching the eighth episode, I want to shout again, can there be more interaction between Huang Jian and Han police!
The eighth episode ah ah ah ah, the Western District Prosecutor is in a huge crisis. To be more precise, it is the Chief Prosecutor Li who has just taken office who has encountered such a big hurdle. From the death of President Park to the distress of the underage girl, to the whistleblower, as the context of the whole incident gradually emerged, the spearhead also seemed to point to Chief Prosecutor Li. So would the murderer be the one who hated Prosecutor Lee the most? Seo Dong Jae or Jung Eun Soo? At the end of this episode, Prosecutor Lee officially declares war on Prosecutor Huang, making him a special prosecutor, which means placing him in the closest and most dangerous place to himself. This move is not so much that Prosecutor Li wants to put Huang Jian in a focal position, it seems to me more like he is asking Huang Jian to express his innocence and ask for help. The screenwriter began to integrate the lines laid out in the previous episodes, looking forward to more confrontations between the two in the future! Let's start talking about Huang Jian and Han police again. The part of eating noodles together at the stall is so sweet! Huang Jian, who always ate alone, even called Police Officer Han to eat together, as if in his eyes their relationship was no longer just a work partner. Choosing to discuss while eating reflects that Huang Jian wants to meet Police Han in a more relaxed environment. Huang Jian really unknowingly regarded Officer Han as his own, and even let the police officer drink the udon soup he had already eaten, and it could be seen that the two had a tacit understanding, and they understood each other's meaning after a few glances: Don't order udon noodles as it is very salty. Huang Jian actually dislikes (at) abandons (almost) the way Police Han eats noodles, which can be said to be gratifying!
This is the second time Huang Jian has laughed because of Police Han, and Police Han is also very keen to capture all of Huang Jian's expressions. When he was refused to paint, Police Han looked aggrieved, Huang Jian, can you bear it? Even if it's not a kiss or skinship, this candy made me cry. Mimi from Huang Jian smiled, sweeter than first love! !
-------------------------------
Episodes 9 & 10
The plot is too tight, and as a scumbag liberal arts dog, I am completely stunned. . What can be sorted out now is that the minister seems to be on the same front as Huang Jian; the final boss is President Li. In episode 10, the audience learned that President Lee Yoon-bum has always been aware of Lee Chang-joon's scandals. As Huang Jian said, President Lee's purpose of threatening his son-in-law to bring President Yong down from power...? Enter the Blue House and enter the political world? With the formation of the special investigation team, these two episodes seem to have brought the case to the surface. All suspects were formally questioned, and those who were slightly suspicious were invited into the team to work with Huang Jian. . At the same time that the investigation was carried out very intensively, Jin Jiaying aka a time bomb woke up and accelerated the investigation speed, but the screenwriter also seemed to have buried more stalks. Why did the lady secretary take a leave of absence for no reason? Why is the line of Park Kyung Wan's human rights case still ongoing? What information does Chief Yong have in his hands, enough to make him indifferent to his regained innocence?
Hey, the plot is too compact and there is no room for emotional lines. . Still have to go to the town building in the town of Zhang cp map.
I feel like they are a couple arguing
In these two episodes, they gradually divided into two groups: one group of corrupt forces headed by President Li Yunfan; the other group of Qingliu forces headed by Huang Jian and Police Officer Han. Xu Dongzai wandered between the two forces, seeking the most suitable place for him to live. Surprisingly, the Minister Prosecutor also stood with Huang Jian (for the time being), and even tried to teach Huang Jian how to behave:

Episode 13 & 14 Update
Don't scroll down if you haven't watched it yet~ Important spoilers~
.
.
.
.
I've been lazy for a week and haven't updated, I really don't know what to write, but the amount of information and impact in episodes 13 and 14 is too great. After watching so many Korean dramas, in addition to being able to enter the top 5 in Secret Forest, the screenwriter's strength is amazing, and the rhythm is almost perfect. So far, there is not a single minute of procrastination. Every episode is paving the way for the next episode. From the beginning of the event to the gradual entry into the labyrinth to the climax of the event to the current sublimation at the end, the Secret Forest is like a long paper with full marks, and every part of the hit hits the point.
Back to the plot, after Rong Jian's accident, Huang Jian's "machine" was hit and "malfunctioned". Although he was still so cold on the surface, Rong Jian ran to see the autopsy immediately after the body was transported away, but his body would not lie. Yes, he fainted after a long time without a headache, and the pressure accumulated during the investigation of the case all exploded. When he woke up in the hospital, the director used a rotating lens to reflect his dizziness:
After Huang Jian returned home, the memories of Rong Jian emerged, even if he didn't have a line, he could feel his self-blame for himself. Why didn't he give her a compliment before? Why didn't you trust her so much before? This memory montage clip only selected those moments when Huang Jian was not friendly to Rong Jian, which represented that Huang Jian was full of guilt towards his sister at that time. After learning the news, Xu Dongzai also thought about the picture of himself almost strangling Rongjian to death.
In the funeral home, Huang Jian, who has always been neat and dignified, didn't tie his tie, and his hairstyle appeared. In the face of Chief Rong's blame, he couldn't help but go back in front of everyone. I guess he said that on purpose. Listen to Chief Li. Ironically, Huang Jian's two attacks were against the person surnamed Rong.
Chief Li's ticket is not for his wife but for Section Chief Yin. The relationship between them should be revealed in the next episode. Although Section Chief Yin is the murderer, he just can't hate it. He is the one with blood on his hands, but those who don't have blood are often more disgusting. At the time of the chase at the airport, Section Chief Yin could not do anything in the face of his former colleagues. What he thought at the time was the sense of accomplishment that he shared with the team members when the prisoners were caught together during the special mission period. Woolen cloth.
Although it was abusive, he would still be happy for a long time because Police Han saw Huang Jian's smile after he kept the small note she drew.
It will end next week, and I will watch another drama with one less. -------------------------------------------------
Episodes 15 & 16 (end update~)
That's the end of it, sad because another good drama is missing, happy because it gave me the ending I wanted. Occasionally on Weibo, some people say that the ending is unfinished, and I guess there are some people who have not seen the whole drama and only read the spoilers. I have a special mmp in my heart. I don’t know if I should say it, but I insist that everyone I have the right to judge a drama, so I won't say this mmp.
I believe that many viewers, like me, feel sorry for Section Chief Yin. He is a victim in this forest, and he is a conscientious murderer. But even though he is in a gray area, a crime is a crime, and he likes the three views of this show. If he wants to protect justice, he has to let go of a lot of human nature, including sympathy, laziness, greed, etc., just like Huang Jian.
"What are the powerful people doing?"--Desperate question from Section Chief Yin, but our super-righteous police officer Han said later: "The Pu Wucheng you killed also has a family, and you want to take his family. Have you also become a murderer?" At the end of the 16th episode, I didn't forget to give Park Wucheng's son Park Qingwan a scene to visit Section Chief Yin: one is the father who lost his son, and the other is the son who lost his father. He was very impressed. After Qingwan visited, he told Masamoto, who accompanied him, that he had found a job and would take good care of his grandmother. His relief stopped the vicious circle of revenge.
Officer Han really has a lot of chicken soup golden sentences:
Think of Kong Liu's peerless chicken soup in the melting pot: "We may not be able to change the world, but at least we won't be changed by this world." Yes, how difficult it is to stick to your original intention in this world, So I prefer/appreciate Huang Jian's attitude: Even if you know that those in the regime can eventually find a way to escape sanctions, as a prosecutor, you will still do what you should do.
Huang Jian's character has also been sublimated at the end of the play. From a robot that refused to cooperate and refuse to socialize, it slowly turned into a boy who had feelings but didn't like to show it. In the 15th episode, I was worried that Officer Han was in a bad mood, so I called to chat, and told her that Rong Enxiu was not necessarily killed by Chief Yin, so don't blame yourself; in episode 16, I went to the street stall with Officer Han before the transfer. For a drink, he will make fun of Officer Han's lipstick, and he will also joke that he ordered the super salty udon noodles because the stall aunt changed it. I learned to reflect on myself and felt guilty because I didn't trust Rong Enxiu before, so Xu Dongzai temporarily let him go in the face of pleading. In the new unit, the group photo of the special team was put out, indicating that this boy has a sense of belonging. The most important thing is that he disliked the drawings of Police Officer Han very much, so he still obediently clipped the comics next to the computer, watched them every day, and practiced smiling.
I think in this drama, except for Huang Jian and Han police, almost everyone is in a gray area: Li Changjun who apologized for his death; Xu Dongjae who swayed left and right; Chief Yin who couldn't let go; The team leader, Jin Jiaying, etc., have their own reasons. The same is true of real life. Where can there be such a clear stream as Prosecutor Huang and Han Guards, but at least this is a sustenance of this drama for real life.
A good film and television work either has great artistic accomplishments, or has well-designed lens language, or has a fascinating plot, or its actors have extraordinary acting skills, and most importantly, it has a central concept that can influence the audience, promote the Social thinking even changes. Of course, Secret Forest didn't do all of the above, but it definitely did most of it. I'm glad that I finished chasing such a drama in 2017.
--------------------------------------
I have a complaint about the secret forest.
The crew really forced a good advertisement at the end hahahaha, I have no problem with your advertisement, why don't you quietly imply that the lipstick is sent by Huang Jian! ! Although he is not such a person, but it's the last episode, so I won't post this candy! ! So angry! !
Alright, now it's time for the tidbits.
Section Chief Yin and Huang Jian have a heart-to-heart ❤️Hehehehe
Doona Ouni uploaded a spoof poster with the words "Hanjiang Monster 2", this picture is fine hahaha.
Is Dou Na Ouni bent over on purpose to save face for Huang Jian?
Finally, draw a cake. If there is a second season, please send more sugar. Thank you.
