"Descendants of the Sun" is actually a love story, in which a man and a woman are the love between a special forces soldier and a female doctor, and the man and the woman are the love between a poor boy with a low rank and an officer from a family of officers. . Male 1 and Male 2 belong to the same army, Male 2 is the subordinate of Male 1. The first woman and the second woman were classmates, the first woman became a hospital doctor, and the second woman became a military doctor. The two love lines intersect with each other and are relatively independent. The relationship is one-to-one, and there are no small three or four. Aside from the hype and marketing in the major forums and media, as a military romance drama with a novel theme and the high popularity and good looks of the protagonists, this drama has indeed set off a hot discussion and viewing trend, and has become a favorite among young people. Casual talk, from this point on, the show is a success.
In terms of plot, this drama really copied all the highlights of the military romance theme. Special forces soldiers and doctors, the character setting of military doctors, you are responsible for protecting the family and the country, I am responsible for saving the dead and the wounded; you are responsible for "killing monsters" to complete the special mission, and I am responsible for treating the wounded hostages and logistical support. As far as everyone is concerned, there is also a plot setting that promotes patriotism, such as earthquake relief and disaster relief, so that the male and female protagonists can build feelings and deepen their feelings in the disaster. In the small family, there are still love contradictions and conflicts caused by the male and female protagonists because of their own attributes in their identities. The setting and progress of the plot can also affect the audience's desire to continue watching, so the ratings in South Korea are completely rising.
Of course, the show also has many flaws. For example, the problem I found after chasing the update was that the CP sense of the male and female protagonists is really not strong, and the acting skills are a little bit unable to hold the role; the marketing is too strong and the screen bombing of Amway also brought me a rebellious psychology; As a Chinese audience, the Korean elite troops who have been skinned are not really strong, so sometimes I feel that the plot is a bit embarrassing and shameful.
However, there is one thing that Korean dramas do much better than domestic idol dramas, that is, the related supporting facilities are also very complete. In every popular Korean drama, all the protagonists' clothing and accessories brands, bags and shoes will inevitably become the theme that fashion bloggers are scrambling to take stock of. There will even be a special person to take stock of the cosmetics and make-up of the starring actors. This is also due to the professionalism of Korean drama advertising brand placement. Big-name local brands are competing for placement. While the drama is on the air, it is also a wave of Amway for the audience. Buying the same model has become the primary goal of many drama fans after watching the drama.
In any case, in this era of innovation and freshness, Korean dramas are indeed ahead of Chinese idol dramas. In recent years, some outstanding domestic idol dramas have been exported to other Asian countries, as well as South Korea, but most of them are ancient puppet themes. The only modern dramas I have heard about recently are "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" and "Shan Shan Come to Eat". There are not enough and good dramas with high popularity and high value groups. It is expected that in the near future, we will also be able to produce high-quality modern romance idol dramas and export them to more countries. Of course, I also hope to shoot such modern idol dramas with military themes.
P S, I have also dabbled in Thai dramas recently, and found that Thai dramas have actually started filming idol dramas similar to this military theme, and the lighting of Thai dramas is now very high (ignoring the unpleasantness of Thai) You can take a look. The production of domestic idol dramas is indeed a long way to go.
