This play is actually the ghost theme that Korean screenwriters have loved in recent years. From "Ghost" to "Ghost" to "Today's Detective", the theme of ghosts and monsters has been played in different tricks by Korean screenwriters, "Druner" "Hotel" can achieve new breakthroughs in previous works, thanks to the crew's pen and ink on the costumes, props and special effects as well as the polishing of the plot.
First of all, let's talk about how hard it is to serve the show.
Druna Hotel has two faces. During the day, it is a bland hotel outside with sparsely populated people. After
opened at night, it was like a transformation. The originally only two-story hotel suddenly expanded upward and became a tall building with 100 floors, and the exterior was also covered by a creeper. The transformation process of
hotel is meticulous to the fact that the lights in each room are lit up one by one, and the floors are stacked, the picture looks very shocking.
As the manager of the Deluna Hotel, Zhang Manyue's clothes in the show are very eye-catching, but in the 2 episodes, she has changed a full 17 sets of clothes.
has a ladylike style:
is also coquettish:
is a human being who has lived for a thousand years, and retro style is also indispensable:
even the dark outfits are also a bit amazing by IU:
is not just clothes Accessories such as earrings and hats are changed in patterns. Champagne and luxury cars are also necessary for Zhang Manyue's daily life. It can be seen that the director team has spent a lot of money to polish the show. In addition to the heroine's costume,
also attracts the attention of various ghosts in the play.
There are policewomen who drowned in the Han River on a hidden mission:
There are also blind women who stay with Gu Canxing all day long:
There are also little ghosts who like to eat steamed buns:
Each ghost is changed according to the cause of death. Makeup, with different clothes. The most impressive thing about
is the dead Siberian tiger. There are many places where CG technology is used in the play, but it does not make people feel like a five cents special effect. The depiction of the tiger is detailed to the hair and walking posture. The degree of reduction is so high that one might even think that this is a real tiger.
In the plot, the plot arrangement is very tight. In just two episodes, the causes and consequences of Zhang Manyue's becoming the president of the Druna Hotel have been explained clearly, as well as the main characters. In addition, many foreshadowings were laid in the play. The first foreshadowing in the
play was a flower-seller mother-in-law. She first appeared by the river. Gu Canxing and his father had a dispute over returning the owner after the money was picked up. The mother-in-law appeared at this time. Handed a flower to Gu Canxing. The second time
appeared in front of a man who died in a car accident. The mother-in-law stepped forward and put a flower, and then the man held the flower in her hand and crossed the Naihe Bridge safely. It can be seen that the ghost next to the man almost has a flower in his hand.
The flower-seller mother-in-law in the play should be an important clue connecting Zhang Manyue’s thousand-year imprisonment. At first glance, she is a bit like the mother-in-law Zhang Manyue met a thousand years ago. What kind of entanglement is there between Zhang Manyue and her mother-in-law? , It needs to be updated later to know the answer. The second foreshadowing of
is the bond between Zhang Manyue and Gu Canxing. Zhang Manyue will rescue Gu Canxing’s father 20 years ago. The main reason is that the tree that suddenly rose from the ground a thousand years ago suddenly opened. After the flowers, there was an agreement afterwards.
At the end of the second episode, there is a short memory of a full moon a thousand years ago in the play. A man stood next to her and said that he would cut trees to build a house for her.
Was Gu Canxing the man who accompanied Zhang Manyue thousands of years ago, and what kind of past Zhang Manyue had, and why a large number of dead souls died because of her? This is where the screenwriter has not yet given the answer.
Of course, as a place to regret for the dead, each deceased has its own past and story, which is also a major attraction of this drama.
For example, a policewoman who accidentally reveals her identity has the wish after death to be able to bring the bad guys to justice.
also had that Siberian tiger, which was visited as a mascot before his death. After his death, the corpse was made into specimens and placed in the museum. Its wish was to return to its hometown-Changbai Mountain.
The policeman who wants to fight evil, the Siberian tiger who longs to return to his homeland, the soul of the dead in the playThe story actually implied a part of social reality, not just constructing a suspended and divorced hotel for the undead.
is looking forward to the subsequent plot development of "Druner Hotel".
