Political theme, boldly depicting the entanglement of interests between high-ranking officials and nobles. The scale is so large that even Korean audiences are inconceivable.
On November 11th, this daring story returned. Once online, the score soared to 9.2, even higher than the first season. Compared with the first season, the story of this season is more intense. Interest entanglement is just an appetizer. What really looks good is the assassination among the superiors. It is not too much to say that it is a thorough dismantling of nasty things between the superiors. The story of
starts with a man named Zhang Taejun. After graduating from the police academy, he did not become a fair and honest policeman, but stepped into the officialdom for power and became an assistant to political parliamentarians. This is a profession similar to a "secretary to a member", and it requires one's own hands to share various tasks for members. It ranges from listening to solving people's livelihood issues to preparing meeting materials. It looks like a mess, but in fact enjoys many invisible rights.
Zhang Taejun's assistant is Mr. Song. A selfish middle-aged man who kicks people away when he is done using it. Mr. Song’s opponent is Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao’s assistant is named Jiang Shanying, who is Zhang Taejun’s underground girlfriend. The two are in love while assisting their respective councilors. The ambition to climb up flourishes, and the show begins...
is fast-paced, and the plot is explosive, reversed one by one. This is the first impression of "Assistant Officer: People Who Changed the World" to the audience. Use the combination of tactics and love to broaden the combination elements of the drama, and avoid the boring situation of the plot as much as possible. In the first season of
, Mr. Song, assisted by Zhang Taejun, succeeded in taking office. After gaining power, he revealed the true face of "only for profit." In order to obtain sufficient benefits, Mr. Song will not hesitate to step on the safety of the people. In the second season of
, Jang Tae-jun, who was put together by Congressman Song, returned as a congressman! As the former assistant officer of Senator Song, he has a lot of evidence in his hands, and any one can put Senator Song to death. But Jang Tae-jun didn't take the shot directly. As a hunter, he enjoys the feeling of torturing his prey to death... On
Douban, "Assistant Officer" enjoys a high score of 9.2, which fully shows the darkness and ugliness of the Korean political scene. In this place, no one is a good person, and no one is a chess piece. People who seem to be good friends will stab you at any time. He was complacent and thought that he had successfully knocked down the enemy, but he didn't know that after the mantis caught the cicada and the oriole, everything was expected by others.
, South Korea's Chungmuro actor Lee Jung-jae, who plays Jang Taejun, is known as the "silent samurai." Representative works include "Sunrise City", "Untouchable Lovers", "Second Girl" and so on. His acting skills are first-rate, and he is best at showing all kinds of emotions in a silent state, and his eyes are full of drama.
In "Assistant Officer: People Who Changed the World", Lee Jung-jae only did one thing, and that is: to perform the sense of strategy and contradiction of the character Jang Tae-jun.
As a politician who aspires to power and success, Jang Tae-jun is unscrupulous. Don't care if the method you choose is correct, just focus on the final result. Because he knows: In this world, there is no right to change anything. In some cases, only by sacrificing some conscience first can there be a chance to save more conscience.
But as a man who loves his girlfriend deeply, Zhang Taejun is vulnerable. Wants to give Jiang Shanying a better future, but is constrained by bad reality. The only thing he can do is to guard the secret during political struggles and prevent Jiang Shanying from knowing too much. After carrying the "suspicion of murder", Zhang Taejun immediately made a choice and became an indifferent man pushing his girlfriend away. The resisting body movements and the affectionate eyes are in sharp contrast. It is clearly a political drama, but it makes the audience sweet enough to scream. There are many realistic plots in the
series. Parliamentarians show favor to business owners. Knowing that the factory uses toxic compounds that can cause sickness to employees. But pretending not to know, just to collect more money with the business owner. Fighting in the political arena is like a battlefield. Even if you don't want to, you have to trick the little people and seek a chance in exploiting and betraying. This form of existence is extremely similar to us who are opposed to life.
Many times, Zhang Taejun fought back when he was about to fail. Looks calm and calm, but actually has a coldsweat. In order to be at the top of the power, he put in too much effort and gave up too many things. If anyone is puzzled, ask if it is worth it. Zhang Taejun will say: "We can't curl up, we can't ignore it. If we want to change the world, we must break out of the shell."
This is the most profound idea of "Assistant Officer: People Who Change the World", and it is also the director's arrangement in the story. Reasons for various reversals.
This process is destined to be difficult, there will be enough drama conflicts, there will be enough absurdities. Such as being wronged and turned into a murderer, a scandal broke out by the closest person. But in the end, this ending must be bright. All darkness is paving the way for the final success. Whether it is political officialdom or life.
