In early October, the new national fairy Lee Dong Wook starred in the fantasy Korean drama "Nine Tailed Fox" launched in South Korea.
is not an old man, the true color starred in the evil spirit vixen, infatuatedly waiting for the first love to be sweet in the millennium, Li Dongxu's face was bursting... a lot of gimmicks made this drama burst into flames, and wave after wave of audiences went to chase the show.
However, with the completion of the story background and the development of multiple story clues, the score of the episode has become lower. Open drawing 8 points and now 7.4, 6 episodes have been updated so far, basically the rhythm of updating one episode to lose 0.1 points. Even if there is Li Dongxu's appearance as a gimmick, it is difficult to resist the audience's complaints about the old story.
What is going on? Today we have a good chat.
Slot 1: The story is old-fashioned, and the fusion is serious
The story of "Nine-Tailed Fox" began a thousand years ago. Li Yan, who is a thousand-year-old fox, fell in love with humans and was punished. In order for his lover to reincarnate safely, Li Yan signed a contract to become the disciplinary inspection commission fox who "brings evil monsters to justice in the world", and in the process met his successful reincarnated lover Zhiya. It is a very typical Korean fantasy love story.
Judging from the character setting, there are bright spots-
vixen has changed from the female in the previous impression to a male, and he is still a high-value and infatuated male. Successfully won the hearts of the audience girls without any effort. But in addition to this bright spot, the old-fashioned plot has nothing to watch, and even the beginning of the broadcast has caused a lot of controversy.
The first one is the controversy about the story plagiarism of the domestic drama "Knot Love·The First Love of Chitose Adults".
Chitose male nine-tailed fox, looking for a lover in his previous life, it rains when the fox gets married, and the male and female protagonist has fetters when they are young... all of these settings are similar to those of the popular "Knot" in 2018.
Although these are common routines in fantasy love dramas related to foxes, but at the same time there are so many similarities that will inevitably make the audience question.
The second is the similarities between "The Legend of Nine Tails" and Li Dongxu's last explosive work " Ghosts ": both ghosts and Li Yan have lived for many years, and there are males and males between ghosts and messengers. cp, there is cp between Li Yan and Bingjiao's brother.
is even more outrageous. The character of Li Yan in "The Legend of Nine Tails" is exactly the same as the character of the messenger of the underworld in "Ghosts"-
is very cute and likes to be coquettish. Give Li Yan the setting that he likes to eat ice cream. Li Yan's ability to make the other person forget everything he has just experienced as long as he meets people, and it is also the ability to make people wear the messenger of the underworld in "Ghosts"It’s a moment of memory, so much so that the audiences who have been chased by both dramas are very confused.
Slot 2: Insufficient acting skills, lack of cp sense
"Nine Tailed Fox" is positioned as a fantasy romance, so the first and most important point is to create an atmosphere that makes the audience stunned and immersed in sweet love. However, it is a pity that the acting skills of the male and female protagonists in this play are relatively poor, and the CP feeling is seriously insufficient.
Let me talk about Li Dongxu who has a constant discussion. His performances in "Ghosts" and " Others Are Hell " are amazing, but they are not without script-based elements. Especially in "Ghosts", the story setting is so wonderful that many times the audience doesn't care about the acting skills, only focusing on the beauty and the sad story. The story setting of
"Nine Tailed Fox" is old-fashioned, which means that Lee Dong Wook needs to put more effort into acting. However, the reality is: Li Dongxu's eyes and expressions are empty most of the time in the picture. Certain plots of cuteness and handsome eyebrows Li Dongxu are really eye-catching, but this does not mean that his acting skills have provoked "Li Yan", an infatuated personality that has been waiting for his lover for thousands of years.
On the other side is the heroine Zhao Baoer. In this play, Zhiya is a ruthless character with a very high IQ, who can always deduce the truth of the incident from the details, so he won the favor of many audiences.
However, as the number of episodes increases, Zhao Baoer's stare-eyed acting has gradually revealed its shortcomings, whether it is anger, thinking, or heartbeat, it looks like staring eyes.
two acting skills are empty and one wood, which directly leads to a serious lack of CP sense of the hero and heroine in "The Legend of Nine Tails". When
fell in love and killed each other, they looked at each other blankly.
can't help but feel unconscious when kissing, but presents an atmosphere of error, even if there is a pink BGM blessing later, it will not work. When
said, "every time he gets hurt for me", there is no movement in his eyes. I am ashamed to say that I am moved by Li Yan?
If you have to count the sweet passages in this drama, you can only count the plots of "Li Yan appeared quickly after Zhiya meets danger". Every time I use my own body to protect my boyfriend. . Apart from that, there are no more exciting passages.
To be honest, the reversal of the first four episodes of "Nine Tailed Fox" is done very well. Leaving aside the point of fusion, the process of searching for the rebirth of first love and the terrible death on the island, these two story lines are very clear, but there are also many suspenses, and it is impossible to guess the subsequent plot development.
But starting from the fifth episode, the plot began to weaken, editing and plot began to appear problems. The editing of
is very chaotic, one is the present time and space, and the other is the past time and space. The rhythm is procrastinated and the TV series is made into a MV texture.
in order to quickly enter the line of love, inexplicably arrange the plot of Li Yan being punished after killing, and let the scarred Li Yan appear in time when Zhiya encounters danger. Seeing Li Yan, who still protects herself even though she is injured, Zhiya feels heartbeat, and love succeeds.
can't help but want to complain about this little bit: why always appear in time when Zhiya encounters danger, and always flash? There is no explanation in the play that Li Yan can sense Zhiya. This kind of routine
, once or twice is a heartbeat, three or four times the audience will not buy it, it is completely sweet and sweet. The feeling line of
began to be inexplicable, and I couldn't feel the sweetness. The rhythm began to become procrastinated, except for the two major plots of his younger brother being blackened by his brother Li Yan's abandonment of himself and the appearance of villains, there is no other point in the story that attracts the audience. How can people chase such a tasteless drama?
If the previous starring Lee Dong Wook was the biggest gimmick in "The Legend of Nine Tails", then Lee Dong Wook starring "The Legend of Nine Tails" is the most regrettable thing. With the increase of various kinds of wonderful dramas in various countries, the audience will eat early. As a fan, I still hope that Lee Dong Wook will hone his acting skills more and choose more scripts with interesting plots.
