Although there is still a typical Korean sensational style in the film, the attractiveness of the story itself and Jeon Do-yeon’s interpretation can still earn the audience’s tears and can be thought-provoking. As for whether purely watching the filming and other aspects is worthy of high scores, there are Different people have different opinions to make up for the former.

, based on the 2009 South Korean "Zhang Ziyan Incident", tells the story of reporter Li Changhao and prosecutor Jin Meixuan overcoming difficulties and finding out the truth about the suicide of the actress. On March 8, 2009, South Korean actress Jang Ziyeon committed suicide. With the public uproar following her suicide note, the insider of sex bribery scandals such as sleeping with actresses in the show business circle formally attracted the attention of the police, and an official investigation was launched. The film is a semi-fictional and semi-documentary film based on the Zhang Ziyan incident.
20, "Plaything" happily criticized this ugly and unjust society. The film revolves around the dark social reality of "sex tribute", and the victims oppressed by social violence are a mirror that reflects contemporary society. The perpetrators relied on their power, power and money not only to be ignorant of reflection, but also to threaten those who wanted to dig out the truth with despicable and indiscriminate means. The more powerful, cunning, and cautious appearance of the wicked is indistinguishable in the film and reality.
In fact, South Korea’s movies based on real crimes are far more than these. These movies based on reality are so sharp and straightforward. The reason why we are so enjoyable is that we know that these dark sides are not only happening in Korea, but the cruel reality is all around us. We all love wonderful movies, we all desire that society and the country can be changed, and South Korea uses movies to satisfy both needs.
Faced with such a strong opponent as Hollywood, former South Korean President Kim Young-sam famously said: "If Disney's annual turnover is equal to that of the global computer giant IBM, why not fully develop the film and television industry?" In 1998, South Korea officially Abolish the film censorship system and implement a film classification system to expand the space for Korean film creation. Law, government, system, police, etc. The South Korean government allowed these "explicit" and "sensitive" films to break into theaters, let the people know that they are living in such an imperfect country, and awaken the people's heart by a little bit. sense of justice.
Use culture to turn Korea into a better country, rather than just show Guotai Minan to whitewash the peace. For our country, this is a very worthy case. If we want our movies to have a good way out, the first is Changing, not knowing how to change oneself, but blocking out foreign films, creating a "domestic film protection month" with Chinese characteristics, requiring all imported films to be domestically produced.
This is also possible, domestically produced films are definitely full support for us! But how many of those we saw in the movie theater belonged to the best movies? In 2006, the South Korean government announced to reduce the quota for domestically produced films to 73 days in order to negotiate with the US free trade agreement. As a result, Korean filmmakers went to the streets angrily to demonstrate and protest, interpreting the feelings of filmmakers. But for our country? The subject matter limit is very large, many things cannot be filmed, and an ideal filmmaker can make a complete film, which can only be passed after it is changed beyond recognition.
and there are so many bad movies that are so bad that they have no bottom line, but all the doors are opened to let it be released. In such an environment, there is a high-quality Hollywood blockbuster, how can we not be crazy about it? In such an environment, does anyone care about the movie itself? Is there any respect and pursuit of film art? The rapid development of Korean movies for so many years cannot be separated from the catalysis of the environment, let alone the courage of filmmakers. When Korean movies are gradually changing Korean society, should we think about what Chinese movies have left us? Do we need to make some changes?
