this year seems to be a popular year for time travel.
On the big screen there is "TENET" by Christopher Nolan on the big screen. It is not enough to burn through the nerve circuits of the fans. The small screen Korean dramas have also been launched as if they are joining in the fun. In March, MBC Wolhuo drama "365: A Year of Reversal of Destiny" (Lee Jun Hyuk, Nam Ji Hyun, , Kim Ji Soo); April, SBS Golden Soil Drama "The King: The Forever Monarch" ( Lee Min Ho , Kim Go Eun, Woo Howan) ; July, OCN weekend classic "Train" (Yin Shiyun, Jing Shouzhen, Shen Sulu, Li Hengna). Immediately after the end of August, SBS launched "Alice" in the golden time.
When "Alice" first announced the production plan, the main focus was strong cast. The first female is the Kim Hee-sun , known as the number one face of the Republic of Korea, and the male one is Zhou Won, who has no new works after he retired last year; plus Guo Siyang, Lee Da-in, Lee Jae-yun, Choi Won-young, Lee Da Bin, Bae Hae Sun, Kim Sang-ho, Ji Hyuk, Jung Wook, Choi Hong-il, Hwang Seung-yeon, Kim Kyung-nam, Cui Jung-woo, Oh Young-sil, Lee Jung-hyun, Oh Yun-a, Yoon Joo-man... the luxurious and full supporting cast is indeed very eye-catching.
Compared with the gorgeousness in front of the scene, the main creative behind the scene is indeed a bit eclipsed. Although the director is Bai Xiucan of ", the girl who sees the taste ", "Beauty Kong Xin", and "The World Reunited Again", he is quite skilled in performing fantasy themes and multi-line narratives, but this is the first time he has dispatched such a big battle. Cast. The three screenwriters-Kim Kyu-won, Jiang Zhe-gyu, and Kim Jia-young-are all newcomers, and the sci-fi thriller that the subject matter is difficult to deal with makes everyone quite worried.
Due to the continuous impact of the new crown epidemic, the filming cycle of "Alice" is as long as nine months, which is nearly twice as long as the four to six months of the general miniseries. Frequent action scenes and computer special effects make the main creative, Starring, filming, and post-production are full of difficulties. Fortunately, in the first week of the broadcast at the end of August, the average ratings of the first episode were 6.1%, the second episode averaged 9.2%, and the highest score was 11.2%, winning the championship in the same period.
In "Alice", Kim Hee-sun plays two roles and three identities. He has to change between a genius scientist, a mysterious female cadre, and a single parent. Perhaps it is already a mother’s experience benefit, and it is quite exciting when she interprets the care and love for her son and stands up to the bullying on campus. Even though he is over forty years old, Kim Hee Sun's appearance and posture are still maintained quite well, even with no makeup and old makeup, he can show a dynamic temperament.
As for the actor Zhou Yuan, since 2013's "GOOD DOCTOR", his acting skills have been well received, and his ratings have also achieved great success. This time, in order to play a detective who has excellent physical fitness but suffers from "Schi-PD" (Sci-PD), not only needs to interpret various emotions with very few facial changes, but also a lot of action scenes to test his physical fitness. The crew deliberately arranged a shower scene in the first episode, allowing him to show the solid lines that he worked hard for a long time. The story of
begins with the successful development of Alice, a system that travels through time, in 2050. Although limited to a few high-end ethnic groups who can afford huge expenses, humans can finally break through the limitations of the theory of relativity and return to the selected past point in time. This new technology, which is like black technology, is commensurate with magic.
, a book called Alice's Prophecy, calls this technology a tragedy, which records the tragic end of time-travelers in detail. In order to protect the operation of the organization, couple clerk Yoon Taiyi (played by Kim Hee Sun) and Liu Min Hyuk (played by Guo Siji) returned to 1992 to search for the whereabouts of the prophecy. The owner, Dr. Jang Dong-sik, was brutally murdered. Tae and Min Hyuk only had time to save the doctor's young daughter, but they did not find the most important page in the recovered prophecy. They were torn off and stuffed into their daughter's hands long before the doctor was killed.
Tae, who was supposed to report back to the headquarters, found out that he was pregnant. He decided to stay in 1992 despite Min Hyuk’s objection and gave birth to his son Park Jinqian (adult).(Later played by Zhou Yuan), Zhen Qian is affected by the radiation of the space-time wormhole. Although he has excellent IQ and physical fitness, he lacks emotional recognition and resonance. Tai Yi still does not give up and takes care of Zhen Qian with hard work.
In 2010, Tai Yi's birthday coincided with the blood moon, but it also became her anniversary. That night, Tae, who was supposed to have committed suicide, was killed by a mysterious assassin. Jin Qian, who lost his only family member, was adopted by the criminal police officer Ko Hyung-seok (played by Kim Sang-ho). After he grew up, he became a capable criminal police officer and served as Kangxi's subordinate. Usually alone
's next plot style changed criminal investigation reasoning, and several weird cases happened one after another, which made Zhen Qian smell a bit unusual. In some situations, he seemed familiar with his mother when he was assassinated; Zhen Qian was also constantly attacked by mysterious people. Block and attack. While continuing the investigation, he saw Yoon Taiyi (played by Kim Hee Sun), a university professor who looked like his mother when he was young. Integrating elements such as science fiction, reasoning, and strange feelings, "Alice" brings a lot of action scenes such as physics, criminal investigation skills, and speed fighting on the basis of setting through time and space. The amount of information in the first two episodes is very full, and the pace of progress is very tight. The three time-space lines arranged by the screenwriter-1992, 2020, and 2050-are divided and synchronized from time to time, constantly throwing questions and creating crises. There is almost no moment for the audience and the protagonist to be idle. On the one hand, the audience has to receive a lot of information, and at the same time, it is really very brain-intensive to identify which time and space the plot is in. But also because it is so exciting, only two episodes are broadcasted and people can't wait to know how the subsequent plot will develop. Although
said that the packaging of the whole drama of "Alice" is fantasy crossing and action martial arts, the basis of the story still starts from the family affection, just as the existence of the male protagonist Zhen Qian comes from the firm guardianship of his mother Tai Yi. Director Bai once said at the press conference: This is a story about the formation of a family, mother and child, siblings, and even no blood relationship but inseparable. We hope that the audience will see that regardless of the changes in age and technological development, they will eventually return. To the essence of mutual protection between people
