"Descendants of the Sun" has been on the drama list for more than half a year. The cast, production team, theme, and investment all point to one point: this is definitely the most popular Korean drama this year, and it is definitely the kind of drama that you don't want to watch. A Korean drama that will simply fall behind.
But after I came out, I watched the major marketing accounts jumping up like vultures, scrambling to repost some sweet animations or peak beauty, but it was cold, and I was not so eager to read it—absolutely not Because I want to be a member, definitely not because of this, definitely not because of the fifteen yuan,—fucking fifteen yuan!
Another point is that I really don't like the poster of "Descendants of the Sun". In this poster, the hero is tying the shoelaces of the heroine. Should I be moved by a photo like this? But the only thing in my mind is "Is the heroine mentally retarded? Why does she need others to tie her shoelaces???" Ah. This casting of the heroine as a protected person makes me uncomfortable.
Of course I also felt that I was too sensitive, so I flipped through the posters of dozens of Korean dramas and found that indeed, in the vast majority of Korean drama posters, the male and female protagonists are generally on a relatively equal footing Status, like "Descendants of the Sun", really doesn't exist. Just a few examples -
Until today, I just worked hard to become a member, watched the three episodes that have been aired earnestly, and also pulled out the nine minutes that were deleted very diligently. Now I feel like: those who have finished watching two episodes Friends who can write a 2,000-word drama review and yell out five stars, you are amazing.
With just three episodes like this, a score of 9.1? I BEG YOUR PARDON? Is this the first Korean drama you guys have seen so far? ? ?
But it’s true that the ratings of Korean dramas on Douban have lost their reference power in the past two years. There is no new drama that is not 8.5 or higher. "It's Okay, It's Love" sits firmly at 8.5 with close-up shots of Ge You and Shen Chunyang, and "Healer" soars to 8.5 with Chi Chang-wook's artificial body (although it is indeed attractive enough); the most annoying is "Pinocchio" up,8.2 points I turn a blind eye and recognize it, but can you stop every time there is a major social news, there will be "Sorry I watched "Pinocchio", this must be the government in the popular comments on Weibo conspiracy theory"? ? ? ?
Back to "Descendants of the Sun". So far in the three episodes so far, Song Hye Kyo's character has fortunately not shown the weakness in the poster, but the problem with this character is - too strong! And this kind of aggression is not "I'm so awesome, so I'm strong", but the aggression that will have a big fight with almost everyone. The heroine talks to everyone in the same way that I will choke you to death, arguing with the second female lead, arguing with the male lead, arguing with the bitch who robbed her of her professorship, arguing with the section chief, arguing with the chairman, and arguing with the male lead. The Lord's flirting is also a bit like you slander me and I slander you, and everyone laughs together.
Of course, if there are too many quarrels, it will be annoying. The screenwriter chose to write the bitch, the section chief, and the chairman of the board as very flat villains, so as to set off the heroine's hatred and straightforwardness; the specific effect, Might have to watch a few more episodes. So far, I haven't felt too many attractive points of the heroine.
Of course, Song Hye Kyo doesn't have much to criticize. The only problem is that her eyes have always been dull, and she often makes people jump into the blind girl in "That Winter, The Wind Blows". But the scene watching the surveillance video in the first episode almost scared me to death. What is the difference between the startled acting skills and the "Full House" ten years ago? And the look of his eyes widening...
Song Hye Kyo Is it beautiful? Of course it's beautiful, but let's stop talking about beautiful women with no dead ends and TOP3 appearance in Korean dramas.
Song Joong Ki has only watched "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" and "Wolf Boy". Those who have been deceived to a few cheap tears, should not be unqualified to say they like it. But seeing the role of this officer now has only one feeling: it is not suitable for him. To be honest, apart from being an officer, this character is very ordinary, right? He is usually a bit of a glib playboy, but he draws his gun to fight at the critical moment and is straightforward. Let alone "City Hunter", isn't it? Unless seeing Song Joong Ki's face and chest can get wet,After counting the three episodes, there seems to be nothing particularly exciting.
The baby-faced man is a bit embarrassing for his age, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are no longer juvenile, but it feels strange to hear people calling him "Agassi" in the play; I thought about it, the baby-faced man only has one The way out: Don't be old. And Song Joong-ki's face is no longer compared to his peak period, so he started with his figure. In the first episode, just like the other 200 Korean dramas, Song Joong-ki also took off. But looking at him showing his lumpy flesh, I didn't have the feeling of "fuck me, I want to sleep with him", but a feeling of "accidentally broke into the bathroom and saw my son's well-developed naked body"? ? ? I know that Song Joong Ki can't always be the kind of boy who really wants to take care of him, but it's really strange to have lumps all over his body! Well I guess I'm probably the only one who thinks so.
Aside from the fact that the male and female protagonists got it right from the beginning, the plot has been lackluster so far. What shocked me the most was that in the first episode, in the 50 minutes, there were actually four paragraphs that stopped and started to play an episode. There are four entire paragraphs. What am I watching? MV? What was deleted was the first nine minutes. The plot was that the hero had a fight with North Korean soldiers. To be honest, it is not more attractive to keep it.
This subject matter is really difficult to grasp. There are many scenes of fighting and surgery. We don’t want to watch it, and it is easy to produce unreasonable plots that make people want to roll their eyes; Falling in love is also tiring, and we want to ask "don't they have to work?" I personally feel that the screenwriter will tend to show more about the professions of the hero and heroine. We are likely to see a lot of plots such as "South Korea plays a leading role in international affairs" and "South Korean soldiers are the world's elite troops". Roll your eyes for 13 episodes.
As early as a few months ago, "Descendants of the Sun" released the news of "the highest investment Korean drama in history". The reaction was: You took so much money, just to go to Greece to take pictures of a few mounds? ? ? ? ? That scene can be set up exactly the same in Korea! (There are comments below saying that this scene was set up in Korea, but it has not been verified)
In the third episode, there is finally a sea,But to be honest, you can also shoot this effect in Jeju Island, right? Didn’t this song Zhongji really come from P? Isn't it true that a Greek background cloth was pulled in the small county photo studio?
Of course "Descendants of the Sun" cannot be said to be bad , but it is absolutely impossible to say how good it is. The Korean dramas I have watched may not be counted as many, but among the Korean dramas I have watched, "Descendants of the Sun" is definitely not in the top few. If you think "Descendants of the Sun" is so fucking good, I love it to death and I can watch it ten times in one episode, I'm not trying to change your opinion; I'm just stunned that such a TV series has only uniform praise on Douban .
Episode 5
I think the interaction between the male lead and the female lead is more interesting, although they met at the beginning It's old-fashioned, but the interaction in the restaurant in episode 4 is very interesting, mainly because the contrast between the serious image of the male second is very memorable.
Song Joong Ki is not suitable for the role of Yoo Si Jin, not that he is not suitable for the role of a soldier, but that he is not suitable for the role of the captain. Subordinates. In the previous "Innocence", Jin Jiu played the heroine's police ex-boyfriend, with a dirty look, which I almost fell into. This time the image is much more refreshing, and it is indeed very masculine.
The character of the second female lead is also sharp, but the advantage is that the female chases the male, and does not engage in a love triangle with the male lead, so it is not easy to be hated. Screenwriter Kim Eun-sook seems to seldom write the kind of circular love that I love you, you love him, he loves her, she loves me, just like in "Secret Garden", the emotional line of the male lead and the female lead is not entangled with the emotional line of the second male lead and the second female lead Not being entangled is of course an advantage, but the role of the second male and the second female has become a scrap.
What's more, the male protagonist, female protagonist, and female second all have great confidence in their appearance. This confidence is of course well-founded, but you don't have to boast about being handsome and beautiful every episode, right? It's a sense of humor to listen to it once or twice, and it's really annoying to come to Jiji.
Everyone said that this show is just to watch Song Joong Ki flirting with girls, but the method of flirting with girls in this show? ? Very ordinary, right? Not to mention the overall quality of the drama, but only in terms of flirtatious level, the male protagonists of "Queen In-hyun's Man", "Need Romance 3", "Innocence", and "Unreasonable Advance" are not much better than the male protagonists of this drama Yet? Song Joong Ki's flirtatious level in "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" is much better than this time, right?
Then Song Hye Kyo came to contribute her amazing acting skills in episode 5 of the cliff drama, what happened to her,I don't think it was like this before...
Episode 6
Let’s talk about this first The most subjective part of this article - tying your shoes. I find that a lot of people misinterpret what I mean, I'm not saying that boys can't help girls tie their shoelaces, this is not uncommon in TV dramas, and it often makes people's heart beat, it will be a good picture , but I don't think it's suitable as a poster.
I'm just an ordinary audience, and I don't have much to say about the design of the posters, so I will just talk about some layman's words: most of the posters of love Korean dramas are based on the characters—or the main characters. Close-ups are either full-body shots with the background erased, or the professions of the characters are seldom shown in the costumes. In this way, the audience's attention will fall on the protagonist's expression, movement and relative position, and it can also intuitively reflect the protagonist's personality and love relationship. And the actions in the poster are also interactive, with performers and givers.
As for the poster of "Descendants of the Sun", only the male protagonist makes an action, and the female protagonist just stares and accepts, so I conclude from this poster that "in this love relationship, the male is absolutely Is it not too much to conclude that you are the active, protector, and giver of life? Posters like "Secret Garden" that take you, force, and fly you will not make people think in the direction of masculinity and inferiority, because the setting of the domineering president and poor heroine is indeed in line with the relationship between the characters in the poster; but this film pays great attention to Is it inappropriate to use such a scene as a poster for a TV series where the male and female protagonists feel evenly matched?
In addition, the biggest difference between this poster and other Korean drama posters is that it particularly emphasizes the background of the battlefield and the occupations of the hero and heroine. Too little love, but in the end, this is a romantic drama, you still have to use bullets and bullets, saving lives and healing the wounded to set off the vigorous love of the hero and heroine, overemphasizing the background and career, isn't it a kind of lack of confidence in the character and love line ?
When I watched the sixth episode, I suddenly thought of "Battle in Changsha". It is also the love between soldiers and medical staff. If it is based on love and the war is the distant background, it will also be a love elegy of life and death. But "Descendants of the Sun" is a real love drama, and at the same time, it has to show war scenes (with a lot of military mistakes) and medical scenes (with a lot of medical mistakes), as well as humanitarian thinking. The writer of online romance novels suddenly started writing "War and Peace". What else could it be?
Finally, why can everyone accept drama reviews that are overall positive, but not those that focus on faults? There are hundreds of film reviews praising the various advantages of this drama. I don’t want to write what everyone has written, but mainly write about the shortcomings. Why is it prejudice, prejudice, and nitpicking? Is it true that all the praiseworthy words are objective?
Episodes 6-12
I fast-forwarded these six episodes. Go on and see what monsters can be behind it; and a drama like "Descendants of the Sun" that is not good or bad is really just four words: lackluster. Mature screenwriters are doomed to make too many mistakes that can make people laugh, but it is also difficult to shine when encountering subjects that they cannot control.
Episode 12, the male and female protagonists are finally together, a little later than ordinary Korean dramas, and the time when the male and female protagonists see each other is much earlier than ordinary Korean dramas, so although I expected the love line between the two to be longer It's more twists and turns, but I didn't expect the scriptwriter to make the heroine want to refuse and welcome, and then make her look very annoying, especially when Song Hye Kyo asked Song Joong Ki "Love me or love the motherland", I was really a little shocked: Not to mention that in the past two years, I have hardly seen this kind of female lead in Korean dramas that force the hero to choose one of the two. This choice between the two is a fucking world-destroying choice between the two! The motherland also gave me compulsory education, what did you give me? I'm fucking patriotic now, hey! 
Romantic dramas are generally not interesting after the hero and heroine announce that they are together. "Thinking about it, it's hard to escape the routine. After 12 episodes, I don't plan to hurt myself anymore.
Now the Douban score of this show has dropped to 8.2 points (2016.04.05), which is higher than the 7.6 points of the Korean website Daum and the 7.98 points of Naver. Apart from "Answer 1988" and "Cheese in the Trap", it is one of the very few Korean dramas with a higher rating on Douban than on Hanwang.
Naver's score is crazy, "Secret Garden" 9.68, "You Who Came from the Star" 9.65, "A Kind Man" 9.34, and on the other hand, "Cheese in the Trap" 5.73, "Reply 1988" was once brushed Up to 1.89, it is only 6.41 now; Daum is relatively objective, but even a drama like "The Heirs" has a score of 9.2 on both websites, which shows the position of "Descendants of the Sun" in the hearts of Korean audiences.
Blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall? Is this Korean drama that was indirectly invested by a Chinese film and television company and has been recommended by a lot of marketing accounts since it first aired, is it really fragrant, or is it mixed with artificial fragrance?
