First of all, I'm really someone who never takes the initiative to watch Korean dramas, but Korean movies. I said I didn't take the initiative because sometimes I watched TV while washing my feet accidentally. It happened to be a Korean drama, or I was having dinner with my sister in the dormitory. She was watching a Korean drama. pit.
Because Korean dramas are too boring, old and dead, and love and love are sometimes special, so I think people with poor resistance should stay away from this stuff.
"Goblin" is the first Korean drama I took the initiative to watch. The reason is that I just watched "Global People" last week. There was a report discussing the magic of Jinbian. What attracted me were the lines of this drama: Because the weather is good, Because the weather is not good, because the weather is just right, every day is beautiful.
Do you want to do this? The lines of the TV series are all written into poems, and I couldn't hold back for a while, so I decided to play this drama.
For a person who often watches Korean movies, Gong Yoo is no stranger, but TV dramas are really magical, obviously not as profound as movies, but I haven't become a fan of Uncle's "The Furnace" and "Train to Busan". Now Really intoxicated.
The entire TV series, aside from the plot, sets, props, and lighting, all give people a particularly warm feeling. Although I clearly feel that the slow motion, highlights, and distant views make it look like a wedding photo, but human beings are like this, and they will always be attracted by "beautiful". Warm, sunny, heartless smile, handsome guy with long legs and 1.8 meters, a very comfortable big house, orange lights, little aromatherapy, medium-rare steak, I can't buy it in my life Maserati up...
If those things that are not profound cannot satisfy human lust, then what is the need for them to exist? Gong Yoo said that he doesn't like to shoot those light things. Although it will make others feel comfortable, he will tell you in advance that although I act like this, it is all fake.
An actor's self-cultivation must be the pursuit of Xiao Lizi. Especially beautiful things, if you can only give people a moment of comfort, and then you forget them when you turn your head, that is not the lifelong pursuit of a real actor. I believe that Uncle Kong also regards acting as a profession that he must respect in his life. So, after watching the first few episodes, I felt very curious, how could an actor who played "The Furnace" make such a TV series? It feels like Li Zi went back to film his "Growing Pains" after winning the Oscar.
Because I don't understand a word of Korean, I can't understand the places where the translation is not in place. I think the 13 episodes should be over when the sword is drawn, but three episodes were actually dragged on. There were too many crying scenes and it was messy. The last three episodes almost lowered my whole mood watching the show. ——This is the feeling I just finished watching, and then, a little bit of thinking started. After a day of obsession, I can probably understand a little bit of Uncle Kong's mood to accept this drama.
At that time, I was obsessed with "Fantasy" and "Lovers in Paris". By the way, "Lovers in Paris" is also a masterpiece by Jin. That kind of feeling is to finish it after watching it. I think Korean dramas are not nutritious, but "Goblin" has made me think a lot.
From the experience of watching dramas in the past, it is generally the male one and the male two like the female lead. The female lead is a very silly, innocent and cute girl, while the second female lead is generally a vicious woman with a vicious heart, who keeps coming out to the male lead and the female lead. The heroine made trouble until she was finally exposed, which was very pleasing. However, in "Ghosts", there are no bad guys. The only bad guy, a traitor more than 900 years ago, also appeared in the second half of the play, and then disappeared within two episodes. I'm thinking, maybe, a show without a bad guy is harder to write than a show with bad guys. The former is such a flat story structure, as long as the villain and the second girl keep coming out to set up obstacles, anyway, after watching TV dramas for so many years, everyone understands that if the hero and heroine have something to say, there will always be some misunderstanding. , and then I missed it again and again. In fact, this is the same as the fight against the bad guys sent by the dark kingdom in every episode of Moon Hare. After the opening song is sung, everyone knows what the content is today. If you want to see it, it's because the ugly "Sailor Moon" is better than the bald head and Xiong Da Xiong Er. There is no way, the supply and demand are not balanced.
Because I want to write this kind of drama of a bad guy who doesn't make trouble from beginning to end, I have to write two stories, one is a man and one woman, the other is a man, two women, and two stories. In the middle, you need to clearly write three men and three women. The reason is that the only villain in the play, the traitor, is written in a particularly sloppy manner. Anyone who has seen it will doubt that his IQ can still be a traitor—because of him, no! Heavy! want!
So, according to the logic of a story, where does a story without obstacles come from? Therefore, the profoundness of "Goblin" is also in these ups and downs.
In any case, the play has a central idea, that is - people are doing it, the sky is watching, and there are gods who raise their heads. Very oriental, very Asian, bad people are not punished by being discovered by powerful and discourse people, but punished by themselves. Sartre, the great existentialist, said that it is the hero who chooses to be the hero, and the weak who chooses to be the weak. The story of the female lead in the play is rather miserable. She lost her mother when she was very young. As for her father, it is said that she is a god. Anyway, it is useless to be a god, just a child without a mother and father. All kinds of bullying, but still able to laugh like a flower. In our current saying, children who love to laugh will not have bad luck, so there will be magical uncles appearing, and I have worked hard enough, although I don't see much. I came to her to study, but I studied very well, I was admitted to the university, and I worked hard to realize my dream.
Another aspect that is probably more profound in this play is the order. Although he knew that the heroine would die, the messenger of the underworld, his friend, could only watch everything happen with tears and did not help; and the ghosts chose to be top-notch because of order. , can make the order stable, but even so, the fate of the other omissions has not changed, all this is also because of-order. This is a lot more profound than those dramas that make blunt changes and expect more powerful people to change everything.
Too many small details are telling us that most things in life, like oracles, are actually helped by people, and only special efforts can bring special stability.
Jin wrote that human beings have four kinds of life: "The life of sowing the seeds, the life of watering the seeds, the life of watering the seeds to reap, and the life of enjoying the harvest." The ghost told Eun-joo in the play, but think about it, Who told the author this?
I was moved by the little details, the nine-year-old Eun-joo bid farewell to his mother, the mother asked for help at the moment of dying, just to save her own child, if it was in the past, these details might not really feel so tearing Lung, because when I was watching this, I thought that the reason why the screenwriters of Korean dramas are successful is that they understand life and will sincerely feel the details in life that may be ignored by us; another Eun-joo fills the refrigerator of the female ghost with stuff , and the female ghost grandma who wants the lottery number to give her son a dream... In addition to those gods and ghosts, those we clearly know are impossible, and those that can be felt every moment in life, the love of mother and daughter, father and son , duty and order, joy and sorrow.
Finally, I want to say that the truth is actually the most moving. Why I still cry and laugh when I know it's fake is because the emotions in the play are real. People who write a good story should be very emotional people, who can cry and laugh, and love fantasy. I like "Goblin", Korean dramas are really poisonous.
