Life is like a play"

Maybe it's because I only read it once, and some parts have not been fully integrated with Korean culture for interpretation, so I will talk about "The King's Man" with a little feeling. The term "player" appeared earlier, and both in China and in ancient Korea, they were regarded as inferior pariahs with low class status. The strict hierarchical system makes life more difficult for the "players" to some extent, but it does not affect their positive attitude towards life. In order to solve the problem of food and clothing, they are often seen in towns and cities. Like most actors, Changsheng and Kongji live an optimistic life while performing happily. The calm acceptance that life gives, there is no place to complain. Judging from their performances, it is a reappearance of social reality, originating from the disputes over the rights of non-commissioned officers and conflicts of interests of nobles. Compared with people living in reality, "players" know better what the environment people live in. Life is like a "play", no wonder Changsheng and Kong Ji will be "players" in the next life.
