screenwriting to a movie is self-evident. A good screenwriter can develop truly high-quality and unique themes sensitively and with a sense of responsibility, and in these themes, compose realistic plots that give people a strong impact.
Today's Korean film can take a leading position in Asia, and it has something to do with the importance and respect of the Korean film and television circle to screenwriters.

Korean film screenwriters are limited in subject matter, they can pinpoint current abuses, boldly create, and even their story creation has changed to some extent. Through Korean society. This kind of wanton creation of "no taboos" makes Korean films surprising in the depth of analyzing society and human nature.
Here is an inventory of the highlight moments of Korean film screenwriters, namely the ten shocking plots and ten unforgettable scenes they wrote for Korean films.
2020 Korean box office blockbuster "Alive" stills
1. "The Second Girl", director Kim Yee-young
. There are two Korean movies under the title of "The Second Girl". The 1960 Kim Yee Young version and the 2010 Lin Changshu version. Later This is a remake of the former. The original version introduced here is Jin Qiyong's original version. This version of "Lady" will also be screened at the 2020 Shanghai International Film Festival.
"The Second Girl" is a black and white crime thriller. The director and screenwriter are both Jin Qiyong. Although it has been 60 years, "The Second Girl" still exudes a sense of brutality and artistry that is more and more fresh. The extraordinary scene scheduling of the architectural space in this movie has also become the source of inspiration for Feng Junhao 's "Parasite". It is said that Feng Junhao's continuous research on the supernatural performance of class space in "Parasite" The result of "The Second Daughter". The
film tells about the intricate emotional entanglement between a music teacher and four women, including his wife. This extreme emotional entanglement eventually led to the death of four people. Only one woman got out in time and saved her life in the case of serious injuries.
Jin Qiyong sets the climax of the story on the plot of the music teacher and the servant girl (ie, the maid) who drink rat poison and die.
This is a quite shocking plot. Earlier, under the instruction of the music teacher’s wife, the subordinate girl rolled down the stairs and slipped off the child of the music teacher in her belly. Therefore, the subordinate girl was frustrated and eventually forced the music teacher to take medicine and die.
After taking the medicine, the music teacher admitted that he had been separated from the girl, so at the last moment of life, he crawled to his wife, and the girl dragged the body to "chase": the two slid down the stairs. Director Jin Qiyong once again makes full use of the "staircase" part of the architectural space to make the whole scene deep and frightening. The suffocating and paranoid love of the girl for the music teacher is in this cruel and tragic plot. , Was expressed vividly.
Even after 60 years, Korean movies still have almost no plot, and the “toxicity” of love is portrayed so shockingly.
2. "To the End", directed by Kim Sung Hoon
crime films, suspense films, and thrillers are the three most famous types of Korean movies. These three types are often accompanied by criminal investigation and reasoning, but the strange thing is the Korean type In the film, there are really very few plots that can be called "reasoning". The complete reasoning movie seems to be absent. Unlike Japan, it has formed a quite mature reasoning film creation environment.
In the 2014 crime thriller "To the End" directed by Kim Sung-hoon and starring Lee Sun-kyun, there is a rare reasoning plot in Korean movies: the protagonist and police officer Goon-soo uses his mother's funeral to "hidden the body".
In fact, "To the End" can only be regarded as a crime film of "live and live" in Korean genre movies, but this "hidden corpse" plot makes this film instantaneously unique and has a different general deduction charm. .
reasoning is generally divided into two parts, "setting up puzzles" and "deducing puzzles". What "To the End" does is "setting up puzzles". It is surprising because even if there is no "deduction In the "puzzle" part, the "hidden corpse" designed by the protagonist Gao Jianzhu in a hurry has a kind of indispensableThe logic of breaking through, at the same time, reflects the power of thinking that the human brain is extremely developed due to danger.
Gao Jianzhu used his mother's coffin, daughter's toys, balloons, etc., to successfully "thread a needle" and conceal the surveillance, so as to successfully conceal the sky. This clever method of "using one death to conceal another death" can be called a Korean movie. The unique and precise plot, I believe it is difficult for the audience to forget it.
3. "Miyang", Lee Cangdong director
Korean films are good at showing people's mental pain . The writer and director Lee Cangdong, born in 1954, is particularly good in this regard.
In 2010's "Poem", Lee Cangdong expresses the spiritual situation of a difficult life between reality and romance through the story of an old woman who wants to write poetry; in "Burning" in 2018, Lee Cangdong vividly portrays the Korean city The predicament and emptiness of the youth at the bottom. But the movie he can best show the mental pain is still the 2007 feature film "Miyang".
Li Cangdong’s films are usually written by him independently. Therefore, the spiritual temperament reflected in the plot of the movie is Li Cangdong’s own ideological temperament. In "Miyang", Li Cangdong devoted almost all his "pain".
, the protagonist of the movie Shin Ai, her husband passed away, and she took her son to the small city of Miyang. Unexpectedly, her son died of humans afterwards. Shen Ai was extremely painful and had to seek spiritual comfort from God. Finally, after a difficult self-salvation, Shen Ai let go of her heart. She picked a bunch of flowers in person and went to the prison to see the prisoner who killed her child. She decided to present this bunch of flowers to the other party and told him that she had forgiven him. he.
She saw the prisoner and was too late to offer flowers, but the prisoner calmly and smiled and told Shen Ai: She has been forgiven by God, and she no longer suffers from the sin she committed. Shen Ai collapsed. She kept asking God: Before I forgave him, why would you forgive him?
This is really an amazing plot! It tortuously and deeply probes the bottom line of pain in people's hearts. Lee Cangdong, with this mentally speculative plot, made the film starring Jeon Do-yeon the first Cannes actress in South Korea, .
4. "The Melting Pot", director Huang Dong-hyuk
talked about the Korean film that changed the country. The only one that reached a consensus among fans is the 2011 classic drama "The Melting Pot" directed by Huang Dong-hyuk.
"The Melting Pot" is adapted from the original work of the same name by the screenwriter and Korean national writer Kong Jiyoung. The story is based on a real incident in a school for the deaf in Gwangju, South Korea in 2005. This is a masterpiece that can “impact the audience in a decent way” based on the subject matter alone. There are too many anger, depression, and sadness plots, and the most shocking is the school for the deaf. The principal brother peeped at the girl's toilet! The reason why the plot of
is quite shocking is largely due to the superb acting skills of Zhang Guang (born in 1952), an old Korean drama player: he put the insignificant, shameless, and terrifying performance of the voyeur into three points, not only for the audience. Later, he called out "unbearable", "mind suffered severely" and so on. The actor even revealed on the show that since he appeared in this movie, passers-by would panic and run away when they met him, and his wife also bluntly said that he was terrible, and he was unwilling for three consecutive days. Talk to him.
It can be said that although this "voyeur" plot in "The Forge" is full of horror, it has become one of the most famous plots in Korean film history, .
5. "Big Tiger", director Park Hun Jung
Park Hun Jung is currently one of the most powerful and influential film directors in South Korea. His most classic directorial work is undoubtedly the 2013 crime film "New World". However, in addition to "New World", his 2017 "Murder Superiority" and 2018 "Witch" are all quite good genre films, and his screenwriting talent was also directed by Jin Zhiyun in 2010 "Seeing the Devil" , Liu Shengwan directed "Improper Deal" and other films, it was shown.
It can be said that Park Hoon-jeong is one of the Korean film directors who are both screenwriters and directors, and shows the style of the standard bearer. In 2015, the costume adventure film "Big Tiger" written and directed by him is the best proof. "Big Tiger" won a total of 7 nominations in the 53rd Korean Film Big Bell Awards in 2016, including the best screenplay nomination.
"Big Tiger" is a heroic and heart-wrenching masterpiece . It tells the moving story of confrontation and sympathy between the last tiger in North Korea and the tiger catcher Cheon Mande ( Choi Min Zhi). Although Qianmande had a reputation for hunting, he had already "washed his hands in a golden basin", but by mistake, the son of Qianmande tragically died in a hunt organized by a tiger hunting team. The painful Qianmande decided to "avenge" the tiger. , But in the dark, between him and the big tiger who was saved and raised by himself, there was a vague telepathy, one person, one tiger, meeting in the blizzard and dancing peaks, for the past grievances Make a conclusion.
This final duel is a climax plot that any audience is looking forward to but unwilling to witness! Between Qianmande and the big tiger, in the chaotic and life-and-death era, they comfort, rely on, and trust each other, just like the bond between the mountain people who have already integrated themselves into nature and the great and mysterious nature, but in the end, man and nature There is still a boundary between birth and death by the times. Just as the continuous bombing of mountains and forests and the continuous pursuit of wild animals in the film, what is staged in front of the audience is the death parting between heroes and heroes, and these two heroes are one for each. Tigers are all scarred in the love they give to each other, only death is the only relief.
Although the film "Big Tiger" is more shocking in terms of technology (and won the Big Bell Award for Best Technology), the tragic plot at the end of the film is still thrilling.
6. "Tai Chi Flag Flying", Jiang Di Kyu Director
Jiang Di Kyu Director Jiang Di Kyu's "Tai Chi Flag Flying" launched in 2004, is one of the most important war films in Korean film history . This movie is written by Jiang Di Kyu and Han Zhixun. The
film tells the tragic encounter of a pair of brothers on the Korean battlefield. It is full of tragic charm in the big scenes, small details, character performances, music, etc., and the most shocking plot is the brother Lee Jin Tae ( Jang Dong Gun) and Lee Jin-seok (Won Bin) meet on the battlefield without recognizing each other and want to kill each other.
Li Jintai and Li Jinseok belong to the same camp. The reason for this situation is that on the one hand there are too many people on the battlefield, filthy and unclear, and more importantly, on the other hand, the war has alienated people’s minds and led to soldiers. It is difficult to maintain a sense of discrimination. Throughout the world’s film history, there has been almost no war movie to show the devouring of people by war from this subtle perspective.
"Tai Chi Flag Flying" received high scores of 8.3 and 8.1 on Douban and IMDb, respectively. It is regarded as a rare word-of-mouth unity of Korean films on Chinese and foreign scoring websites. It shows that this kind of plot has triggered empathy among everyone. .
Seven, "The Beginning and End of the Kim Funam Murder" , director Zhang Cheol-soo
The status of Korean women in South Korea is far lower than that of men. The 2019 phenomenon-level Korean movie "Kim Jiyoung Born in 1982" has been fully expressed. Although the heroine Kim Ji-young in the film is under economic and spiritual oppression in work, life, childbirth and other aspects, at least the story still takes place in a modern city in South Korea. Kim Ji-young’s husband is also gentle and considerate, but in Jang Cheol-soo In the director's 2010 crime thriller "The Beginning and End of the Kim Funan Murder", the status of rural women in South Korea was reduced to a shocking situation. In the end, the film's protagonist Kim Funan (played by Seo Young Hee) picked up the "scythe of revenge".
There are countless Korean movies with "revenge" as the theme, Park Chan-wook "revenge trilogy" (2002 "I want revenge", 2003 "old boy", 2005 "kind gold"), 2012 Jung Byung-gil "I am a murderer" , 2013 Jung Geun-seop’s "Montage", etc., are all well-known Korean revenge movies, and even the final assassination plot in Bong Joon-ho’s "Parasite"So a hint of revenge shows that Korean filmmakers are born with a decisive desire to express , and "revenge" is one of the most eternal factors in this desire.
"The Beginning and End of the Kim Funan Murder" is the masterpiece of the Korean film's "revenge" theme to the extreme. The revenge in the film
, in the sense of Korean gender structure and regional differences, has a profound and stimulating social observation. Kim Funan’s revenge appears to be Kim Funan’s revenge against her husband’s family, but in essence it is Korean women’s revenge against her husband’s family. Men's revenge. At the same time, in the visual presentation, the revenge in the film is dirty, fierce, and violent. It can be said that has created a scented and unique Korean feminine violence aesthetic .
8. "Secret Agent", directed by Yin Zhongbin
In 2006, the German film "Eavesdropping Storm" won the 79th Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. This film is also one of the most important foreign language films in Oscar history because it passed a The splendid and intimate spy story is a rare interpretation of the more precious human emotions that transcend family, friendship, love, class, and country. This emotion has not been characterized but always exists. In 2018, Korean director Yoon Jongbin's drama "Special Agent" once again portrays this emotion.
"Secret Agent" has won the Blue Dragon Award for Best Director in Korean Film, Best Film in Baeksang Art Awards, Best Actor, Best Actor in Daejong Award, etc., because of the South Korean intelligence agent and The North Korean high-level role played by Lee Sung-min really conveys the confidant sentiment that transcends national contradictions and devotes himself to the future of the country.
At the end of the film, when South Korean actress Lee Hyori and North Korean singer Ming-Ae finally reached a cooperation and held a meeting, South Korean intelligence agent Hei Jinxing and North Korean high-level Lee Myung-un also walked towards each other with regret. The two meetings took place at the same time and at the same place. One belongs to the history, one belongs to the movie, , a thrilling plot, once again refreshed the era and ideological height of Korean movies .
9. "The Chaser", Luo Hongjin director
"The Chaser" (also known as "The Heat of the Night") is a blockbuster feature film debut by the Korean celebrity director Luo Hongjin. Some fans praised it as "" Killing After Memories, the most memorable Korean crime movie ".
This is a movie about serial murders, and the targets of the murders are all women. It just so happens that in Korean movies, "Memories of Murder" and "Chaser" are the two most famous works based on serial murders against women, and both of them are adapted from real events. This is the connection between film art and social reality. The angle of view confirms the humble status of Korean women in South Korea. The most shocking plot of
"The Chaser" is undoubtedly the brutal pursuit of the serial murderer Ji Yingmin (played by Ha Jung Woo) against the late-night lost female Kim Mi Jin (played by Seo Young Hee). The film presents Kim Mi-jin’s murder in full detail in a dark and thrilling environment. This can be called one of the cruelest plots in the history of Korean film, . I believe that few viewers can watch this plot calmly.
X. "Parasite", directed by Bong Joon-ho
From Kim Ki-young's "Second Girl" in 1960 to Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" in 2019, Korean movies have unique spatial use and scene scheduling, just like in Korean movies In the years of art development, a meaningful "ring" has been formed, and in "Parasite", the plot where Kim Ki-ze ( Song Kanghao ) and his family go home embarrassed in a rainstorm has become this "ring" The most profound "point" of the above, because this "continuously downward" homecoming has led the glamorous spatial scheduling of Korean movies from indoor to outdoor, but at the same time, the whole society and class are regarded as "houses" to maintain A kind of "stair-like" spatial expression, the essence of this expression is actually the differentiation of classes.
"Parasite" is a very sophisticated movie with countless playful and directional metaphors.The plot of "Going Home" is chosen here because it best reflects the film's irony of class division in Korea. As we all know, when the Kim Ki-zek family returned from the president’s villa on the mountainside to their semi-basement home, all the movements were downwards, downward slopes, downward stone stairs, downward streets... …There is no upward movement, which is enough to prove that the polarization of the rich and poor in Korean society has reached the point where there is no common level.
Compared to the assassination of the president by Kim Ki-taek at the end of the film, the plot of this "going home" is more thrilling.
In addition to the above ten plots, there are actually many shocking plots in Korean movies, such as the "homicide" in "Memories of Murder", the "family relationship" in "Sowon", and the "escape" in "Yellow Sea" , "Explosion" in "Horror Live", "Sacrifice" in "Pandora" and so on. These plots are all a deep reflection of Korean society, and it is precisely because of the efforts of Korean film screenwriters that these works succeed. Into the hearts of the audience.
Now, with "Parasite" winning the Oscars, whether Korean movies have reached a new turning point, perhaps, this also requires Korean screenwriters to give answers with better stories.
