At a time when domestic sweet dramas are in a slump and it is difficult to produce good ones, I did not expect that South Korea, which has always liked to shoot large-scale and catchy plots, will return to the track of healing sweet dramas.
turned a small-budget sweet drama without dark standards and no big-name stars into a pure love sweet drama king with a high score of 9.0 on Douban.
I personally like the script "Running with Sun Jae on My Back". The content is adapted from the Korean online novel "Tomorrow's No. 1", although many domestic viewers feel that the setting of this drama is very similar to the core of some works of Jinjiang Literature.
But it must be said that although "Running with Shanzai on My Back" also crosses a track and has various familiar plots, this old story was shot in a very smart way. In addition to fully displaying the emotional pull between the male and female protagonists, A suspenseful part was also added.
was basically "conquered" after watching two episodes. I feel like I can be addicted to sweet dramas, crazy about sweet dramas, and hit a wall because of sweet dramas!
The heroine in the story is neither a career elite nor a young girl, but Ren Su, a girl who was paralyzed in bed due to a car accident and suffered a lot.
She was very tired of this kind of life without the ability to take care of herself. Even though her mother carefully accompanied her, she had the idea of cutting her wrists to commit suicide.
The turning point was a phone call from a TV station. The person who called her was the top actor Ryu Sun Jae. At first, Ren Su had no interest in the call, but after she threw the phone angrily, the content of the program broadcast in real time on the radio, But it spread throughout the ward.
Shan Jae's voice and words also made her feel something, giving her the courage to live for her friends and relatives. This is also the time when the female director became a loyal fan of Shan Jae.
Five years later, Ren Su was excellent in other aspects even though his legs were disabled. After an unsatisfactory interview, he met Shan Zai.
Shanzai saw Ren Su shivering from the cold, stepped forward to hold an umbrella for her, and prepared to send her home. This should be the initial warmth of the male and female protagonists.
Unfortunately, before Ren Su could get over the joy of first meeting, news came that the idol was depressed and committed suicide by jumping off a building. Ren Su didn't believe it. On the way to the hospital while pushing her wheelchair, she dropped her electronic watch into the river. When she climbed out, she pressed the watch and her time-travel life began.
When Ren Su traveled back to high school for the first time, she cried while holding Sun Jae in her arms. She also discovered many details that she had not paid attention to before. Of course, what she wanted to do most was to save Sun Jae and prevent him from committing suicide.
At this time, Shanzai had not yet entered the entertainment industry, but he was a swimming trainee with great potential. The heroine who got the upper hand also became Sun Jae's swimming fan during this time, and made the male idol fall in love with her.
The most special thing about this story is that it is not a one-shot time-travel story. The plot sets many restrictions on this time-travel.
First of all, the heroine cannot tell me about the future, otherwise time and space will stop. The second is that Ren Su does not always stay in reversing time and space. The number on the watch is the number of times he has traveled back. Coupled with the death of the male protagonist, it is like a clearance game, adding mystery and tension to the story.
In addition to being able to straighten out the logic, the entire story focuses most on healing pure love.
For example, the sweet confession in episode 10, the male and female protagonists in episode 11, after confirming their relationship, secretly holding hands, making wishes under the cherry blossom tree, and a series of annoying little details that make people watch it again and again.
Of course it’s a sweet drama, the characters and cliché of the male and female protagonists are the most important.
The male and female protagonists of "Carrying Sun Jae on the Back" are not top-notch actors. The female lead Kim Hye Hee, who plays Im So, has only played a supporting role in many major dramas in the early stage and is not well-known.
But in "Running with Sun Jae on Her Back", she showed solid acting skills. The 28-year-old Kim Hye-hee can not only play a 30-year-old woman in 2023 very harmoniously. After traveling through time, she played the role of Ren Su, who is full of energy and vitality, and is very smart in every move and smile. She is very compatible with the common heroine and has many delicate acting blessings.
After her interview was unsatisfactory, she sat in a wheelchair and sighed deeply to encourage herself; on a helpless snowy night, she saw her idol Sun Jae appear holding an umbrella, and she looked up with dull and surprised eyes.
and the little emotion of running away desperately when seeing Shanzai in high school were all captured just right.
plays the role of Seon Jae Byun Woo-seok. To be honest, when I first saw the male protagonist, I thought he was average. In the Korean wave where good looks are the norm, he really doesn’t stand out.
Byun Woo-seok has also acted as a supporting actor in many film and television dramas. The most memorable one is his role as Yoo Si-oh's morbid character in "Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon". His emotional interpretation in this drama is also very beautiful.
When he was a swimming trainee, he felt an unbelievable fright when he saw Ren Su running toward him. His open hands and involuntary retreat made people sympathize with this character's feelings at that time.
And later on when he carefully spoke into the microphone and called out with tears in his eyes: "Xiao Su", people can feel Sun Jae's love for Ren Su.
In addition to being affectionate, he can also express the unique behaviors of teenagers vividly. For example, when he sends Ren Su home downstairs and blows a kiss crazily, everyone who watches it will laugh out loud.
At present, this drama has reached 12 episodes, which is the sweet and funny period. There are still 4 episodes left, so don’t let it end. If you hold on, it can really overpower Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won’s "Queen of Tears" and become the most popular one at the moment. Awesome Korean drama.
