Since , Netflix and entered the Korean drama, the production cost has started to rise.
Recently, there was a Korean drama, which caused a heated discussion among the audience before it aired. The total investment of
is as high as 35 billion won (1.74 billion yuan).
The first time I saw "Suriname", it really revealed the pride of high quality.
Whether it is the production team or the cast, they are all excellent in Korean dramas.
Take a look at the director and cast, and they all have a lot of background.
The famous Korean director Yoon Jongbin , the two Korean national-level actor Ha Jung-woo and Hwang Jung-min , as well as Choo Ja Hyun Park Hae-soo, Zhao Yuzhen and other gold-medal supporting roles, as well as the best actor Zhang Zhen , for this The first insurance on the play.
Read the whole story again, Netflix's specialty.
" Narcos " and "Narcos: Mexico" are both good dramas with a score of 9 or more, and they are undoubtedly the second insurance.
The most important thing is that the story is similar to that of "Narcos", and naturally high hopes are placed on it.
The story is adapted from real events, and is set in a small country in South America with a population of just over 500,000.
Because of historical problems, this place has become an extrajudicial place, a haven for drug lords to commit crimes.
The protagonist's name is Kang In-gu (played by Ha Jung-woo), who was born in a poor family.
's mother became ill from overwork, and her father had an accidental car accident, and the two passed away one after another.
As the eldest son, he raised his younger brother and sister by himself.
Later, Jiang Renji met his wife, Park Hyejin, by chance, and gave birth to two children.
Since becoming a father, Jiang Renjiu obviously feels that the burden on his shoulders has become heavier.
To make money, he works two jobs a day and is willing to do almost anything.
Until a classmate introduced him to a business, Jiang Renjiu found a business opportunity in the middle.
It turns out that Suriname, a small country in South America, is rich in rays , but the locals regard it as garbage.
If you smuggle the rays into South Korea, you can make a lot of money.
In order to give his family a good life, Jiang Renjiu decided to take a risk.
What Jiang Ren never expected was that the local gangs were intricate. As soon as
got there, he was hunted down by the local gang for touching someone else's cake. The leader of
is a man named Chen Zhen (played by Zhang Zhen).
Just when Jiang Renjiu was desperate, Jiang Renjiu met the Korean pastor Quan Yaohuan (played by Huang Zhenmin) who was preaching in the local area.
is a person who looks kind on the surface, but is actually unfathomable on the inside.
did not expect that when Quan Yaohuan came out, Chen Zhen would give him a face, and as a fellow, he also helped Jiang Renjiu in business.
As the business grew bigger and bigger, Jiang Renjiu was arrested by the police and locked up.
After the incident, a person who claimed to be his "brother" approached Jiang Renjiu. After the two talked, they realized that the other party was Cui Changhao, a agent from the National Intelligence Service of South Korea.
It turns out that Quan Yaohuan is not a good person, he is actuallyHe is the largest local drug lord, and the allied military covers the sky with only one hand.
A long time ago, Quan Yaohuan committed a crime in South Korea and was forced to flee to Suriname for asylum.
Unexpectedly, here he is like a duck to water, not only controlling most of the business, but also using his identity as a missionary to form believers who are only loyal to himself.
agent Cui Changhao found Jiang Renjiu, hoping that he would go undercover into Quan Yaohuan's interior, collect evidence and sabotage, and finally bring this group of criminal gangs to justice.
The story here is reminiscent of the Hong Kong film " Disciple " directed by Er Dongsheng and starring Andy Lau .
In my opinion, Suriname is a Korean version of Disciple.
After reading the story of the first two episodes, the Korean drama "Suriname" is obviously a bit anticlimactic. The background for the opening of
, as well as the intertwined character network, is like a hard core atmosphere.
Lenovo started Netflix In recent years, some crime-themed American dramas have really raised a lot of expectations.
And the show maintains the consistent style of American dramas, with various large-scale scenes emerging one after another.
Therefore, just from the perspective of production, "Suriname" is definitely a big deal in Korean dramas.
However, the shortcomings of the show are also obvious. The biggest flaw is that it does not respect the IQ of the audience.
First of all, there are many loopholes in the details of the story, and many illogical plots occur frequently.
For example, from Jiang Renjiu's body, he couldn't see the feeling of walking on thin ice, calling and reporting in front of the enemy, for fear that others would not see that he was an undercover agent.
Secondly, the motives of the characters cannot stand up to scrutiny and cannot find a reasonable explanation.
If it weren't for the actor's acting skills, it would be remarkable, otherwise the characters in the play would inevitably have some drama.
In my opinion, such a good cast of actors, plus Netflix's large investment, did not achieve the effect of 1+1>2.
From another angle, in fact, the story of "Suriname" is not new, and it has already been filmed badly in Hong Kong films.
Moreover, the Hong Kong film only takes 2 hours to finish, and "Suriname" takes 6 hours.
Therefore, many viewers have said that Netflix is wrong this time.
Overall, "Suriname" is just an unremarkable Korean drama.
looks like a big story frame, but it's empty inside and doesn't contain much "hard goods".
However, it's not that bad. Compared with Korean dramas of the same type, it is still much better.
