The best soil for domestic fantasy is ancient costumes, and Korean dramas like to run their imaginations in the city, looking for an outlet that modern people can't express in real life, materializing or humanizing it, so as to reflect on reality.
The fantasy routine of domestic dramas to Korean dramas, there have been remakes according to the script, but they are not very clever. Carefully review the fantasy logic and grasp the "basic point" in order to make better use of this stone from other mountains.
Zhuang Zhou Mengdie
" Dazzling " realizes the reversal of Zhuang Zhou Mengdie.
The story starts out the usual way of a fantasy romantic comedy. The 25-year-old Jin Huizi has a happy family, two confidants and friends, and an object of affection. Unexpectedly, the daily life has changed, and my father accidentally encountered a car accident. In desperation, she uses a watch she found as a child that can turn back time, hoping to save her father by returning to the moment before his father's accident.
failed countless times, called back countless times, and finally she succeeded. But the price of violating the laws of nature is that she changed from a young girl to a gray-haired old woman overnight.
I don't know my parents, my boyfriend doesn't recognize me, I'm unwilling. She dragged her aging body and started a big battle to become younger. From the perspective of Keiko, who is young at heart, the show expresses the heartfelt words of many old people, "Aren't you going to grow old?"
She also tried to form a new relationship with her family, delivering meals for her father, and supporting her mother's divorce. Educating my brother not to play with things anymore. When he met Jun Xia, who was once a good friend, he had to silently encourage and accompany him. In the Filial Piety Elderly Activity Center, she saw the various states of the elderly, the liar who coaxed the elderly to buy health care products, and the elderly who were abandoned by their children and committed suicide.
But the show doesn't stop at showing old age.
In the end, Jin Huizi, who had just woken up from a big dream, remembered that she was not a girl who became an old man, but a real old man, an old man with Alzheimer's disease.
always thought that the "father" was actually the son, the "mother" was the daughter-in-law, the "brother" was the grandson, and "Junxia" was his attending physician. I have always wanted to save my "father" from a car accident because I felt guilty for failing to protect my son, which caused him to be disabled for life. The reason for saving Jun Xia is that her husband, who was a reporter, was unjustly killed in prison, and he has always had the obsession to save him.
In this world where imagination and reality are intertwined, we have seen true love and reluctance, and we have also seen the ordinary but dazzling life of ordinary people.
The fringe people are extreme
" Inner Beauty " tells a popular romantic comedy with a very fringe setting.
In "Inner Beauty", the heroine Han Shijie has a strange disease. For about a week a month, her appearance will change strangely, and she may become a burly guy, a primary school student, an old man, a young guy... …regardless of gender, age, or even nationality. The troubles and psychological loneliness brought about by the strange disease made her unable and afraid to maintain a stable relationship with others.
The male protagonist Seo Do-jae is another extreme existence compared to the female protagonist. He suffered from brain damage due to an acquired accident, and there was a problem with the process of face memory, and he suffered from a face recognition disorder. In other words, the male protagonist is downright face-blind. He can only recognize each other through various details such as clothing, voice, and walking posture.
This show is both refined and WTO-involved. This extreme marginal setting is the natural culture medium of love. Seo Do-jae is the only one who doesn't matter what Han Seung looks likeChange, people who can recognize her immediately.
"Love is not the love of two perfect people, but two flawed people who become complete because of love." In addition to the fantasy setting of
, this drama is essentially a story of a president and a female star falling in love. The conflict between strange diseases and life has brought a lot of laughs. The female protagonist with "transfiguration" is an actress who has to rely on her face to eat; the male protagonist with face blindness is a company manager who deals with all kinds of people every day; the male protagonist's mother originally objected to this paragraph Feelings, but accidentally found out that the boy with the son was a boy (the heroine transformed into), and immediately agreed to the marriage of the hero and heroine.
Love a person is it the appearance or the soul? This question is difficult to explain just by reasoning. But by using your imagination and constructing a dramatic situation slightly higher than life, you can find new inspiration.
borrowing ghosts to talk about human feelings
"Hello mom, goodbye! "With the resurrection of one person, a group of people were redeemed. It asks the question at the outset: If the dead you are given a chance to be reborn for 49 days, can you find your place?
heroine Cha Youli was involved in a car accident when she was about to give birth, leaving behind an infant child, a brokenhearted husband, and devastated parents and friends. But because of reluctance, she stayed with the child in the form of a ghost, but she got a chance to be reborn by chance. As long as she can find her place within 49 days, she can stay. Director
used flashbacks to reveal the changes after Car Youli left: the father crying late at night, the mother wiping tears in the heroine's room, the friend who texted the heroine's mobile phone number, and as a doctor, she was very concerned about the operation. Room produces fear of husband. She is the heart of the whole family.
Even if it's tough, life has to go on. No matter how hard you try, there will no longer be a place for Cha Youli in the world. She decided to leave the reincarnation without destroying the existing happiness of her loved ones.
In just 49 days, she fulfilled her wish to see her parents again, untied her husband's knot, and encouraged her stepmother's confidence to be a good mother. Most importantly, she hugged her daughter.
If the person you miss is still watching over you, what does he want to see in you?
verbally explain each other and walk out of the past, it is difficult. The screenwriter untied people's hearts from the perspective of the deceased. This kind of change of thinking is wonderful.
Deconstruct the myth
" Hotel Del Luna " transplants modern humanistic care into the myth system.
The setting of this drama is full of legends, and it is a good container for carrying all kinds of things in the world. "De Luna Hotel" is the resting place of the deceased. Every soul of the dead who has not fulfilled their wishes will stop here.
Orphans who starved to death will leave here when they are full; old men who freeze to death will heat up on fire; scholars who have not finished their academic research can continue their research here...
The whole drama uses a unit structure to show the group of undead. There are resentful girls who commit suicide and intend to take revenge because of public opinion; there is a ghost who loves her husband and finally gave up taking him; there is a brother who died in the war for 70 years, waiting for his sister to go on the road together...
The whole drama soothes the dead The logic is simple: good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. For example, men and women who had a life-and-death feud in their previous lives will be led by a red thread to become married couples in this life. The heroine of the show, , Zhang Manyue, and , is also the president of the Del Luna Hotel. She runs through the main task of the whole show, and also puts down hatred and leads to life.
Korean dramas have never been afraid of deconstructing legends. Bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods can be used back and forth. The screenwriter's skill is used to portray people's hearts and output value. When the target is focused, stories that seem to be chaotic in time and space and haunted by ghosts and ghosts can also impress contemporary people.
age crossing
The age crossing of " confession couple " not only saved a precarious marriage, but also gave the protagonist the courage to face up to regrets.
"Confession Couple" is a couple "double wear". A middle-aged couple who were overwhelmed by life woke up on the day of their divorce and returned to their 20s. They had not met at that time, and in order not to repeat the same mistakes, they decided to meet without knowing each other.
is fortunate enough to walk the path of life again, but not everyone can have Charlotte's energy and luck. After returning to the past, the couple gradually regained their original intentions. Watching his wife sing and dance on the stage in a beautiful dress, the husband realizes that the sloppy and undressed wife was full of energy; seeing the social animals go mad after drinking, the wife recalls her husband's exhaustion after get off work.
"Confession Couple" finds a balance between fantasy and reality. The bitterness of a full-time mother, the difficulty of raising a family, and the grievances they endure, directly pierce the hearts of the audience.
"A person can become a sage if he lives upside down", this is what the age travel realizes. Only by hitting people's inner desires and providing opportunities for reflection can such urban fantasy flourish.
