I don't like Do Min Joon nor Yoo Se Mi. But the two dislikes are completely different. However, the meaning of the characters in the play is not determined by whether the audience likes them or not. In the whole play, there are two characters with the most presence, one is Liu Shimei and the other is Li Zaijing. It may also be more extreme to say that in the whole "Star You", only Liu Shimei's life has depth.
My favorite is of course Cheon Song Yi. She's an idealized character who can switch between goddess and nerd. Too comfortable to be false, false to the reality that there is nothing, it is more likable. But aside from obscenity, Qian Songyi's life lacks a sense of existence, which makes her highlight entirely Jun Zhixian's acting skills.
If a person is blessed by the gods from beginning to end, her existence will lose its meaning. Qian Songyi is a person under the protection of superpowers. Although she also had ups and downs, all her ups and downs were just to give Do Min-joon a chance to show his supernatural abilities. In this sense, Cheon Song Yi is instead Do Min Joon's god. Without Cheon Song Yi, Do Min Joon's 400-year life would be nothing at all. In addition, Qian Songyi also dragged a big spare tire, responding to every request, not asking for it. Qian Songyi is really lucky. A person who is too lucky, life is not so beautiful. The good ones are just tidbits.
Liu Shimei is different. She was pitiful as soon as she appeared, until the end of the play. Even at the best of times. She is the spare tire of the spare tire. Li Huijing is very bitter, but behind him there is Liu Shimei who likes him. There is nothing behind Liu Shimei. Even the two followers turned towards Qian Songyi, even though Qian Songyi was bossing them around. Liu Shimei is neither ugly nor bad. In terms of ability, looks, and treatment of others, Liu Shimei should not be a spare tire. But she still worked as a spare tire for 15 years behind Qian Songyi. It wasn't until Han Youla died that she waited for the opportunity. - Yes, this is the truth of life. It is not the truth of life that aliens save you, nor is it the truth of the rich second generation to kneel in front of you and ask for a spare tire, they are all lustful; the truth of life is that even if you have all the abilities It is no worse than others, and still has to exist as a spare tire and a supporting role.
Qian Songyi later fell into despair and was bullied by the director. Do Minjun made the director fall on the spot on the spot. And when Liu Shimei was bullied by the director, no one paid attention, and no one stood up for her. Even after Liu Shimei became the protagonist, Li Huijing pulled a cart of delicious food in front of her on the set and treated guests in the name of Qian Songyi. This is obvious: Liu Shimei, although you are the protagonist, you are still a backup. Later, Liu Shimei had to stop Qian Songyi and persuaded her to accept Li Huijing, "Huijing would be unfortunate without you, but you won't be too unfortunate if you have Huijing. One of Huijing and I can be happy. That's fine." It can be seen that Liu Shimei's setback is a setback that cannot be turned over in a lifetime. Even if she persists in her career for 15 years and can wait for an opportunity, she will never have a chance if she persists emotionally in her life. this is life.
The essence of life is frustration. Half of life is always chasing and never getting, and the other half is constantly gaining and constantly losing. Of course, from this point of view, it is very negative. But in other words, the essence of life is to be aggressive. It's progress after setbacks. The reason why life shines is because it has experienced too many setbacks, keeps making progress amid setbacks, and persists even when there is no way to make progress. Persistence is actually suffering. But only after this torment can life look good and emit a faint light. Life doesn't mean that you can switch freely between the goddess and the goddess and it will shine. That kind of shining is only for a moment, it's just a tidbit. All lasting sparkle comes from the inner light that has been accumulated for too long and finally burst out.
As for the manager, there is absolutely nothing good in him. It is natural for a person with superpowers to bless those he wishes to bless; if he cannot, he is useless. It's like an adult fighting in a child's circle. Even if you win, there is no reason to be complacent. When I watched the first few episodes, I thought Du Minjun was okay, but the more I watched it, the more I felt that he was useless. He obviously has his own invincible equipment and skills, but he still loses many times in the struggle with Li Zaijing. He has to rely on Qian Songyi's unconditional love to save face, which is really a waste.
In addition, Do Minjun also loves to dress up. It’s okay to help Qian Songyi play the old Qiansheng card, and you can also win mahjong by yourself. I don’t know if you let someone else, you will win if you win, and if you just want to win a country’s unparalleled, that is, thirteen is not relied upon. Thirteen is the most pretentious of all Mahjong winning methods. If he wins, he still fights with others for a long time, just to fight for the title of "Mahjong King", and his demeanor is lost. What's the point of a rich second generation being richer than a poor kid? Not only that, Do Minjun is still a coward. In front of Qian Songyi, she told me not to come within one meter of my body, and in the blink of an eye, she got drunk and hugged her to bed and kissed, which made Qian Songyi have a lot of dreams. Not hooking up on the open, but in the dark, both hooking up and not admitting it, can be said to be inauthentic and not brave. How could his contribution to Qian Songyi be equal to 1/10,000 of Li Huijing's? But no matter how much effort Li Huijing put in, Do Minjun turned it to nothing with the flick of a finger. What is there to see in a man's life if he can get everything without effort.
"Star You" has a bright line and a dark line. The bright line is Do Minjun and Qian Songyi's romance, and the dark line is Lee Jae-kyung. Like Liu Shimei, Li Zaijing has a great sense of existence, although he is a downright bad guy. It can also be said that Lee Jae-kyung is the BOSS of the whole drama. This person with a small number of roles is the biggest driving force, even the only driving force, to push the whole drama down. A person's actions are enough to affect the lives of many people around, and even the lives of aliens. This is called a sense of existence. Do Min Joon and Lee Jae Kyung are the two most unsmiling people in the show. Do Minjun laughed more, Li Zaijing seemed to have only laughed once, when Do Minjun lifted him on the roof and was about to throw him down, he laughed. What kind of spirit is this? It is a spirit of endless fun fighting with aliens. Such people are uncompromisingly strong.
But Lee Jae-kyung is also an out-and-out villain. It is easy to be a good person; it is not difficult to be a strong person. The hard part is to be a strong man on the premise of sticking to the bottom line. A bad guy can do whatever he can to achieve his goal, and he can do whatever he can. But a person with a bottom line can't do that. Life is as beautiful as it is beautiful. It is a problem of finding an optimal solution under the strictest constraints. When the constraints are relaxed, life is too simple and sloppy. If Liu Shimei was Li Zaijing, she would have taken the position of Qian Songyi long ago, and even won Li Huijing. But that kind of existence is too frivolous.
Shimei has hypocrisy, resentment, cunning, narrow-mindedness, selfishness, and all the flaws of ordinary people. But all these flaws are limited to a tolerable range. Therefore, although Liu Shimei is a bit annoying, those hatreds can't hide her flash. She has the body of a weak man, but the heart of a strong man. Put aside all the obscenity, the meaning of life only lies in this.
No one can have power over everything. Even Do Min-joon is helpless in the face of the impending separation. No one has the ability to seek a satisfactory result. If it is complete, it can only be a gift from God, it is good luck. The realization of perfection is not the power of life itself, but the power of gods. But the meaning of life is that even if you cannot seek perfection, you will never bow your head to the gods.
Therefore, "hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son" is good, but it is a little bland, "green and green, leisurely my heart" is beautiful, but it is especially hypocritical. The truly powerful existence of life is that "the mountains have no edges, the heaven and the earth are in harmony, the thunder in winter is shaking, and the snow in summer is the one who dares to stand up against you."
