love has always been the most sultry feature of Korean dramas, and has won the love of countless audiences with its lively and interesting emotional entanglements.
However, what I want to introduce to you today is a "horror thriller suspense" film dressed in love:
The memories of the Potala Palace, oh, no, it is the memories of the Abra Palace, what? It's a memory of the Alhambra!
"Reminiscences of the Alhambra"
This Korean drama , whose name is as confusing as the plot, has a rating of 7.507% for its premiere on December 1, replacing "Ghosts" and becoming the premiere ratings in TVN history. The third-highest Korean drama has a Douban score of 8.6. The impressive ratings and reputation of
benefit from the top production team behind it.
The director of the show, An Ji-ho, has directed "Secret Forest" (douban 9.2 points), while screenwriter Song Jae-jung is known for his brainstorming, from "The Man of Queen Inhyun", "Nine Times of Time Travel", to "W- "Two Worlds", playing the ancient and modern, spanning time and space, all kinds of strange fantasy, the novel setting makes people feel addicted.
This time the two great gods have joined forces, backed by the TVN cable station known as the "explosive Korean drama maker", and the combination of Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye , the national-level king bomb combination, opens the wonderful story of the VR world.
Let’s first appreciate the beauty of the two gods.
Hyun Bin plays Liu Jinyu
Park Shin Hye plays Jeong Seok-joo
"Reminiscences of the Alhambra" tells the story of Liu Zhenyu, a top investment company representative, who competes with his opponent for a virtual reality game, discovering huge bugs in the game, and embarking on the road of fighting monsters and upgrading to save people .
The biggest highlight of this play is that reconstructs time and space through vr games. The boundary between virtual and reality is becoming more and more blurred. The game gradually loses control and invades reality, triggering a series of thrilling and suspenseful events, and also sparking discussions and speculations. .
The Alhambra is a famous palace in Spain and the main game scene set by the game developer Zheng Shizhu.
The title of this play is a masterpiece of the famous Spanish guitar composer and performer Tarrega, who is respected as the "Father of Modern Guitar". In
, the sister of the game developer and the heroine of this drama, Jeong Hee Joo (played by Park Shin Hye), dreams of becoming a classical guitarist, and boldly speculate that perhaps the key to solving the mystery lies in the heroine.

"The front is foggy and the ending is still unfinished"
The story opens. A young man runs wildly on the streets of Barcelona. He is running in a panic and looks back, as if someone is chasing him.
But the strange thing is that when the camera turns, there are only pedestrians coming and going behind him, no one is chasing him.
is even more bizarre. He escaped from a train. When he was about to arrive in Granada, the sky suddenly flashed with thunder, a few gunshots, blood splattered, and the train arrived at the station. There was only one backpack left in the little brother’s position. Silhouette.
Then the camera turned to Granada at midnight. The rich and handsome Liu Zhenyu (Xuan Bin) insisted on staying in a dilapidated small hotel, which made the hotel operator Zheng Xizhu very confused.
So far, the first episode is over halfway, making people confused and a little dull, but when I want to abandon the drama, finally ushered in a sudden change in style.
Representative Liu went out alone after he settled in the hotel and said he would witness some magic.
In the dim night, a fierce warrior descended from the sky, holding a big sword and smashing at Representative Liu.
At this moment, it suddenly became clear that the show was about virtual reality games.
From the second episode, the suspense escalates, the plot is thrilling, thrilling, and the afterthought is still unfinished.
Representative Liu and the representative of the opponent carIn a duel in the game, Representative Che was killed by Representative Liu in the game, but the police found the body of Representative Che in the duel site the next day!
Can player confrontation in virtual reality games really kill people?
is even more confusing that the dead car representative becomes the npc in the game. Whenever the guitar sounds, it will suddenly appear to chase Liu representative.
Liu representative turned from fear, despair to numbness. He played games day and night, constantly upgrading to obtain more advanced equipment, so that he could kill the car representative in the game more easily.
When the audience thinks they have found out the rules of the game-the player who fails the duel will die in reality and become the npc in the game to chase the other. The suspense of
has been further upgraded, even the inherent npc in the game can kill people in reality! Although
relies on the novel creativity of vr, this drama brings a refreshing feeling to people, and the fusion of suspense fantasy and romantic love is also very popular.
But such a big brain hole and such a complicated time-space relationship make the quality of the drama fluctuate.
02
"The perfect combination of fantasy suspense and love" The setting of
AR has added a lot of thrilling atmosphere and unresolved doubts to the show, but in the final analysis, the background of the story is still romantic love.
In the crisis-ridden real world and the upgraded virtual world of Daguai, Representative Liu, of course, also needs the nourishment of love, otherwise it would be too miserable.
But different from the traditional Korean drama of love, this drama strives to break through the previous male protagonist in terms of character setting. Although he is still a handsome and rich "president" image, we do not see the familiar dominance, coldness, and arrogance in him. Jiao set. What's more important is that he is actually an "older man" who has been divorced twice, and his lame setting also makes this seemingly perfect president more approachable. The heroine of
is still a hardworking and kind Cinderella, but contrary to tradition, Cinderella was "moved" by the hero's money this time. That's right, it is the money that Cinderellas think is humiliating in the Korean drama. The
male protagonist used 10 billion to buy the ruined hotel in the hostess’s house and rescued her from poverty. The hostess was grateful to him, thus opening the road of affection.
Judging from the current episodes, there is no such thing as Mary Su, the overbearing president falling in love with me, and the focus is still on games and suspense.
The relationship between the male and female protagonist is progressing very slowly, and it seems very difficult to watch the sugar-spreading scenes of kissing and hugging.
However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the relationship between the two of them. Although they are not vigorous, they trust and support each other in solving the mystery, so that the long-lasting relationship is closer to reality.
Written at the end
With the advancement of science and technology, more and more film and television works involving virtual reality are also increasing. The show uses VR as a clue to combine the game world with the real world, using love as the background color, adding sci-fi suspenseful colors, and giving people A sense of refreshing. In addition to the novelty of
, it also triggers our thinking. The
screenwriter has extended his brushstrokes to the frontier VR field, a field full of unknowns, using exaggeration and imagination to construct a fantasy world. Although
is an imagination, it also raises a real question: When vr becomes more and more immersed in , will it really blur the boundary between reality and virtuality?
