For someone who claims to be a bit aggressive, Sir has always had little interest in the traditional Korean dramas.
, especially the "terminal illness, car accident, and ill-treatment" of the three tear-gas treasures, just wanted to pinch the nose and walk around.
This Korean drama is completely different.
"New Culture News" once used a standard to accurately hit its selling point:
This statement is true.
is good, not for sale.
It is called-"Unborn" (미생)
Baeksang Art Awards is the only comprehensive art award with the longest history in Korea and the highest award in the Korean television industry.
and "Unborn" won the three awards of Best Director, Best Actor, and Best New Actor in the TV category at the Baeksang Art Awards 2015.
In Sir’s impression, there are no more than 10 Korean dramas with a score of more than 9.0 on Douban.
"Unborn" scored 9.3, ranking second. (The first is "Funny Family")
"Unborn" is adapted from Yoon Tae-ho's webcomic of the same name, directed by Kim Won-seok, and tells the story of a group of professionals working hard.
"Weisheng" is a Go term that refers to a piece of chess that has room for survival. This piece of chess can work or be uprooted.
and "unborn" as the title, as the name suggests, life is like a chess game.
You are both a chess piece (at the mercy of others) and a chess player (self-selection).
For most of us, our state in the company is unborn. It may become a dead game (be fired), or it may be made a living (a clear pace). The play
mainly revolves around the stories of four "Unborn" (An Yingyi, Zhang Baiqi, Han Xilu, Zhang Gelai).
Judging from the combination of cards, "Unborn" is not like a Korean drama.
has no long-legged Obama (the male protagonist is only 173 in height), and there is no national goddess.
can even say that none of the four leading actors are particularly famous.
First of all, Jiang Su La (playing An Yingyi).
The role we are most familiar with is the big sister Dachunhua in "Sunshine Sisters".
In "Unborn", An Yingyi is an office minority (woman), proficient in many foreign languages, cold in appearance but kind in heart.
In life, she can provoke meticulous work together, and she doesn't need and doesn't want others to help.
She can even work with boys.
At work, she has insight into the needs of customers, and not long after the internship, she negotiated for the department.
is in the process of being evaluated, facing the boss question, no stage fright.
Her only problem is that as a newcomer, she is too strong-and she is still a woman.
So her life is difficult, she was scolded by her nose, and had to do some unreasonable demands for chores.
Jiang Hena (plays Zhang Baiqi).
has participated in TV series such as "Monstar" and "Heirs" and won the Best Newcomer Award at the 2014 SBS Acting Awards.
Like An Yingyi, Zhang Baiqi is also an elite.
has been a model student since childhood, school or company, it is the one that is favored.
But strength does not determine everything.
No matter how strong you are, you are still a newcomer, and the "core task" still has to be handed over to the "core figure."
Therefore, Zhang Baiqi can only watch as his "low energy" colleagues get more resources. And he has a cavity of blood.
He felt that he had been "successful", so he applied for more tasks to his superiors and was rejected.
Bian Yaohan (playing Han Seokryul).
Film works: "The Watchers", "Social Phobia", etc.; TV works: "Ex-Girlfriend Club", "Six Dragons Flying", etc., won the 2013 Seoul Independent Film Festival actor department independent film star award.
is smooth, sociable, and cheeky.
is still a color embryo.
is going to work every morning just to see more beautiful women.
In short, one personThe shunned "workplace talent".
Ren Shiwan (playing Zhang Gelai).
used to be the lead singer of the men's group "Sons of the Empire". With the TV series "The Moon Embracing the Sun" and the movie "The Defender", he won a lot of money and officially entered the entertainment industry.
Zhang Gelai is the leading actor of "Unborn" and the worst one in the office.
was looked down upon, suppressed, bullied, always.
All of this stems from his identity-a related household, and everyone knows it.
Frankly speaking, "relationship households" are very common in the workplace.
Maybe most people want to be related users-the only difference is that it doesn't matter.
But everyone hates the relationship households from the heart.
Zhang Gelai knows this very well, so he can only bear it.
plus my low education and lack of professional knowledge.
was at a loss on the first day at work.
can't even shake hands with the boss.
is very nervous and cautious.
pay attention to this scene, the only person in the entire office who is wearing a jacket while working.
Because he knows nothing, and no one has the time (willing) to teach him, Zhang Gelai can't do anything.
Seeing this, everyone must ask, why did he go when he was young?
This pulls out another hidden line of "Unborn".
It turned out that Zhang Gelai once loved playing Go, but because his father was in poor health, he could only give up his ideals and came out early to work.
Make money, make money, make money, part-time from morning till night.
This kind of return from his own labor is very practical, so Zhang Glei almost paranoidly praises "effort."
What is not done well and can not be done is due to nothing but not enough effort.
was isolated because of not working hard enough. The story of
develops like this, and it is not difficult to guess that "Unborn" is a counterattack story of a career rookie.
Yes, the routines are always different, but the way of telling stories is different.
"Unborn" is good, it is an almost documentary guide to career survival.
It is not like ordinary kimchi dramas that provide flashy fantasy bubbles, nor does it forcefully create a big reversal of hoeing and supporting the weak to please the audience-Zhang Gelai will not suddenly find that he is actually the boss’s son one day, nor Someone extended a helping hand when he was bullied.
He can only endure everything silently, and then rely on his own continuous efforts to change reality bit by bit. How can
mix well in the workplace? To put it plainly,
is nothing more than one sentence-
In order to be loyal to reality, the most courageous thing about "Unborn" is to give up the emotional line between the hero and the hero.
It is almost unforgivable for the Korean TV circle, which is famous for its idol dramas, to keep the hero and heroine from showing a spark of love.
In fact, "Unborn" was originally spotted by Korean Radio, but when the remake, the original author Yin Taeho insisted that there should be no emotional drama, and should be downplayed. Eventually, the negotiation broke down and the copyright went to tvN.
Fortunately!
Do you still remember the lesson of "Du Lala"-known as the workplace drama, but when the film and TV version was remake, it castrated the most exciting workplace politics, and gave a brief introduction on how to promote and save.
, on the contrary, spent a lot of time on the matter between men and women. The
movie version of "Du Lala", the whole movie is that Xu Jinglei keeps traveling and chatting about love. How to turn from a rookie to an elite, we can only see the difference from the costume style.
TV version of "Du Lala" has gotten worse.
This is the title of "Beijing Youth Daily" in 2010:
Sir has not seen the TV series version of "Dulala".
but glanced at the synopsis roughly-at least 11 of the 32 episodes focused on love.
From "Affection in the Dark", to "Affection Is Found", "Meeting Parents", then break up, and finally "Japan Compound Hot Spring"...
is no wonder-
"Dulala's Promotion" became "Dulala's Love History", which conforms to the trend of leftover women in power, but it is not the original intention of the novel to reflect self-worth through self-struggle, becoming an executive and winning Love is far from the real life of urban white-collar workers. This Du Lala’s success is far away and cannot be copied. It is a pity and regret.
look back at "Unborn". The
love scene is almost zero. The pinkest scene of
should be this scene.
Zhang Gelai admires An Yingyi's ability, An Yingyi respects the weak Zhang Gelai.
Every time she sees Zhang Gelai's meritorious service, An Yingyi smiles with relief. This is because she, who often works overtime, understands how difficult it is for Zhang Gelai to stay up late.
But the relationship between two people also stops at appreciation.
does not allow them to spark a little love spark.
Sir thinks the director's answer is very wonderful-from "10asia", translation @Koretic:
People don't always experience love in reality. If you have been immersed in the splendor of love, wouldn't you be too tired to live?
But the friendship between brothers, or the shallow or deep emotions when meeting someone you admire, is a very common experience.
However, this kind of plot that appears more often in reality than romantic plots is rarely depicted in (Korean) TV dramas.
is based on this purpose, so everything we see in "Unborn" can give us a strong sense of substitution.
For example, being wronged in the office.
Who would dare to cry on the spot, or even quarrel with the boss with a loud voice?
Most people swallowed their emotions silently, and obediently rolled back to their desks to clean up the mess.
also, report to the boss.
How could it be possible that the boss speaks English and I speak Mandarin.
If you are not fluent in English, you have no chance to stand in front of him/her.
From the actor's professional performance, "Unborn" has thrown out a few of our similar films.
This is the advanced place of "Unborn". It does not cater to Luthor with a magical reversal, nor does it presuppose a standpoint for grandstanding.
In the workplace, there are good people and bad people, but more people are people.
Everyone has his unknown story, and everyone has his own chess he wants to play.
such as unavoidable sexism.
Asking for leave during the production period will be complained by colleagues, but doing a good job may ignore family members.
This kind of discrimination is unfair, but it is also "fair"-because your boss, colleagues, and family members have different needs for you, and even conflicts.
So:
working mothers are always sinners in front of colleagues, family members, and especially children.
such as those who mess around.
You may not know that he dozed off in the office during the day because the child could not sleep well at night.
But no matter how hard and tired, I heard "Dad" when I got home-everything was worth it again.
In the dark, this inescapable sense of fate, secretly echoes the title of the play-"Unborn".
Everyone wants to be a chess player, but most people are destined to be a chess piece.
And the excitement of fate is that, until the end, I don’t tell you the end.
So, don't give up easily.
maybe this is the true meaning of the title "Unborn"-
insists, it means to complete life anyway.
