The performance of Korean dramas this year is particularly outstanding. New types of Korean dramas such as "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" and "Resurrection" have received good reviews!
Recently, Netflix launched a new Korean drama "Suriname" called "Korean drama ceiling" in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This drama is quite gorgeous in both the plot and the cast.
"Suriname" is directed by Yin Zhongbin , a director who has won the Korea Blue Dragon Film Award and the Korean Film Critics Award for Best Director with the movie " Agent " and is good at shooting action spy films.
also because Ha Zhengyu and Huang Zhengmin two big Korean movie stars, they themselves are quite familiar with director Yin Zhongbin, so by chance, he was invited by the director to participate in the role.
is like Ha Zhengyu's eighth time working with the director since 2015;
Huang Zhengmin started from Yin Zhongbin's participation in the production of the movie " Prosecutor Gaiden ", and then continued to "Spy", which is now the third time Cooperation.
The tacit cooperation between the two movie stars and the director is understandable.
Director Park also recruited Park Hae-soo , who became famous for " squid game ", and Yoo Yeon-suk , who served as a warm-hearted pediatrician in "The Witty Doctor Life".
and "The Lonely and Splendid God: Goblin" starred in the role of the president's secretary, Jo Woo-jin, who is well-known in Asia.
The role that surprised me the most was , Zhang Zhen, and .
As a rare Chinese face in Korean dramas, Zhang Zhen played the main role of Chen Zhen in "Suriname".
originally thought that this character would be the one who would pass by and get a quick lunch, but he didn't expect it to be the boss of in Chinatown.
speaks English, Chinese, Cantonese, , and Hokkien when it's all right. It's quite perverted to kill people without blinking, and their acting skills are no less than that of the Korean movie stars.
Of course, the acting skills of the other protagonists are nothing to say, and the performances of the supporting roles are also very good.
It can be said that all the characters in "Suriname" are acting.
So don't care what the theme is, after watching the first 2 episodes, you must "get into the pit"!
"Suriname" tells the story of a businessman who was sent to a big South American drug lord to induce him to show his feet. The process involved complex gang struggles, "black eat black" political wrestling, and a large number of bureaus like " Infernal Affairs ". Central bureau-style undercover war.
"Suriname" is a Netflix series, but it is not as streamlined as recent Korean dramas. The production is obviously a movie.
This Korean drama is divided into 3 parts, and each part is of a movie-like quality.
When I was watching the movie, I was thinking, with this golden lineup, if the plot is shortened a bit and the movie is made into two parts, I believe it will definitely sell well at the box office.
The whole drama is full of 6 hours of drama, and it is even rarer that each episode has a climax. The first three episodes of
first tell the story of each character in detail, and the last three episodes piece together these complex character relationships. Makes the show highly relatable.
The amount of twists in the last two episodes keeps getting more and more mind-blowing.
Yoon Jongbin has shown his ability to deal with this type of subject in "The Secret Service", and this work is even better. The relationship between the characters
is constantly reversed, and there is a brotherly love between desperate situations.
The multi-line and complex characters are connected to each other, and the finale successfully pushes the plot to a gripping climax, which can definitely make people hold their breath.
So please rest assured, "Suriname" is definitely not like the common routines of other film and television dramas. Any "shit and garbage" plot should be left for the second season. This can definitely end a story, and it has a complete ending.
Suriname is a story based on true lies.
tells the story of a businessman who becomes involved in a covert National Intelligence Agency operation after being framed by a South Korean drug lord who runs the Suriname drug market.
Ha Jung-woo plays Kang In-joo, a businessman who goes to Suriname to make money, but is framed by a Korean pastor who seems to be enthusiastic on the surface, but is actually a Korean drug lord "Jeon Yo-hwan" (played by Hwang Jung-min) who controls Suriname's drug market behind the scenes After being imprisoned, he was rescued by the National Intelligence Agency spy "Cui Chang-ho" (played by Park Hae-soo).
When I first saw "Suriname", at first I thought it was about an ordinary man who stepped into the drug industry and became a big drug lord.
I didn't expect to find out that the whole thing is not what I thought after watching it.
Because the big drug lord has other people and forms an exciting situation where ordinary people fight against the big drug lord, the premise of this story is enough to attract the audience's attention.
I really like the "realness" that Suriname can bring to the audience anytime, anywhere. The style presented by director
is indeed not like acting, but a very real case!
"Suriname" is very natural in the design of the premise of the story.
It happened inexplicably when an ordinary man was forced to go undercover in a drug cartel, and then added high output and unlimited storytelling.
makes "Suriname" even more interesting through unexpected twists and turns.
And this is nothing more than the background of the first two episodes, the background story of the two male protagonists Kang In-goo and Jeon Yeo-hwan. Even if
has enough twists and turns, each of them occupies about one episode, which can be explained clearly, making the plot more focused and lively.
, especially Jiang Renjiu's story, in just less than one episode, it seems that he has seen half of his unfortunate and legendary life, and it has already made people shine.
"Suriname" and the American TV series "Narcos" are actually quite echoes and similarities.
"Suriname", even though it is a Korean drama, has transformed the whole atmosphere into an American drama, with a proper bloody + opera-level script.
Basically Suriname got to episode 3 without any new content.
Apart from a novel location "Suriname" and an interesting fake religious background, "Suriname" really has its own unique style.
It's not like an ordinary gang crime drama that only has endless revenge and fighting to the death, but goes deep into the big drug lord gang to explore the "essence of gang and survival".
Suriname is inspired by real events!
is also adapted from a true story, and the plot is relatively real and complete. Ha Zhengyu, one of the leading actors, said:
"When I read the script of "Suriname" for the first time, I was very impressed with the story, the development of the plot and the characters. I was interested, so I took the initiative to propose to the director that I wanted to act in this work, and I also hoped that the director and the screenwriter would make this work specific!"
In addition, Huang Zhengmin also said that after reading the script, he would be quite curious about the development of the next episode. , which shows the tension and excitement of the plot.
after the wonderful "personal design" is arranged, it is to expand the story to a greater extent, which can also be said to be a textbook-level demonstration for the introductory class of screenwriters.
In addition to the two protagonists, "Suriname" also has many interspersed supporting roles, as well as the internal affairs of Surimen and the struggle between gangs, the self-contained chaos in Chinatown, the involvement of the National Intelligence Agency and the US Drug Enforcement Group, not to mention the intrigue between the protagonists. The story of
deconstructs these intricate character relationship diagrams, writes them concisely, and explains them in an orderly manner.
Even if the plot is super complicated, it doesn't feel confusing. The plots of countermeasures, innings, and mutual use are more clearly written and full of drama.
Even if the protagonist is not a "drug lord", as an undercover agent, he becomes more and more like a drug lord. The
script has a progressive description of his character transformation, and you can see his growth in just six episodes. The main line of
"Suriname" is that the male protagonist cooperates with the National Intelligence Agency and captures this big drug lord. There are endless accidents and changes in the process, and the protagonist has to be adaptable.
These accidents are not intentional to create tension, but can often turn despair into another hope, and the action of planning and planning can go to the next step.
"Suriname" seems to be the same theme of undercover catching drug criminals. It is still gripping after watching one episode after another. It is full of a lot of plot surprises, and these surprises can make the drama stronger.
Watching the last two episodes, "Suriname" is literally a Hollywood production. The elements of
"Suriname" can be said to be all-encompassing, in addition to the main line of the drug crime war, there are also religion, action, politics, exotic customs and so on. At the end of
, the fraternal love between characters from different factions is full of drama and makes the ending more touching.
checked the real events of "Suriname", just like the protagonist's opening words, "Believe it or not", its twists and turns are as bizarre as the dramas are not very different. The biggest difference between
episodes and real events is probably the addition of gang fights and more undercover drama elements, and these changes also make the story more convincing and smooth.
Although the story can be changed "as you like", "Suriname" is based on real events and then turned into fictional stories, which is very elegant for the screenwriter's skills.
Netflix pushed Korean dramas to the world with "Squid Game", and it became an IP craze.
Therefore, seeing the seriousness of the production of "Suriname" and the dramatic force it drives, it is really eye-catching.
"Suriname" is completely film-level production, and it will not be deceitful if it is released in theaters for 6 hours! The
crew not only went to Suriname to shoot, but also had a lot of action scenes in the form of a war movie. The action design of the last two episodes of
is very thoughtful, complementing the twist of the plot, and it is almost impossible to hold your breath.
is like a frontier trade war in a straight-forward way, dodging left and right under the hail of bullets like the protagonist's point of view, making people's heart beat faster.
"Suriname" has both on-site framing and special effects framing. These special effects are also in line with the needs of the plot, and the sense of investment is stronger.
In addition to action scenes, director Yin Zhongbin also has a hand in filming literary dramas.
He has seen in "The Secret Service" that he doesn't need any action scenes, just relying on a lot of chattering literary drama, he can already create a super dramatic taste.
came to "Suriname" with a more complicated story, and he was equally handy.
is not only an action scene, but also a few "showdown" scenes with mutual guessing and wrestling, and even a scene where the protagonist is in a crisis and has to be smart and talented, the filming is extremely powerful.
He is also able to control the drama with ease. He doesn't need to have a big explosion every time. Every time he pushes to a climax, he stops there, allowing these dramas to slowly brew.
pushed to the last two episodes with a series of explosions, successfully pushed to the final climax, the tension of the finale unexpectedly reminded me of "Escape from Tehran".
ending dismantlingThe solution method and the tangled relationship between the people are extravagant, all of which are full of drama.
seems to be quite calculated, and it is all about the needs of the plot, writing a near-perfect crime epic. No wonder
IMDB score can break through 9 points.
In terms of actors, Ha Jung-woo, who has been missing for a long time, and Hwang Jung-min, who has never been disappointed, both of them should be regarded as emperor-level performances, and they also make the drama shine.
He Zhengyu plays the undercover "people are in the rivers and lakes, can't help themselves", and he has to deliberately suppress the tension of the role in many scenes, and has to perform brain teasers, which can completely make the audience immersed in his situation, and Huang Zhengmin's "treachery" The pairing of "Fighting Traitors" is also very exciting.
Huang Zhengmin is not the first time to play the villain, but this time he plays a big drug lord who has no emotions and anger, and is both a love and hate.
Duozhi's sudden face-turning expression makes people shudder, and the expression of crying and laughing in the last scene is another explosion of his acting skills.
But please don't forget Zhang Zhen's performance in "Suriname", playing a street gangster who dominates Chinatown, with both form and spirit.
's sense of pressure is no less than that of the two protagonists, and he has a Chinese accent in English, which sounds more intimate and has a more vivid image.
"Suriname" as a whole I think is another major breakthrough in Korean dramas.
and Korean dramas have become more and more international in recent years, whether it is actors, venues, or atmosphere creation, they are all in place.
My favorite is the wit and intrigue confrontation between Kang In-goo and Jeon Yoo-hwan in "Suriname", the kind of almost punctured and the twisting episodes encountered in the middle will make the audience very nervous.
and the cast of this play is really good, you can always see the big movie stars in the show!
It is said that "Suriname" has the highest "per episode" budget of all Korean dramas, and the crew flew directly to Dominican Republic to shoot at , costing 40 billion won, this lineup and funding are really not in vain!
Although high budget does not necessarily mean high quality, the high budget of "Suriname" really means high quality. Every episode of
"Suriname" is really like watching a movie. Filters, mirror movement , actors' acting skills, scenes, props, etc., each picture is extremely delicate and high-quality. Director
really put the budget where it should be.
Drug lords, undercover agents, covert government operations, guns, tanks and explosions all look like a thrilling ride.
Therefore, please don't be intimidated by the level of recent Netflix Korean dramas, there is no exaggeration, "Suriname" is not only the best Korean drama I have watched this year, but also pre-ordered the best of the year!
The drama is powerful and the structure is quite rigorous. Even if it lasts for 6 hours, there is no cold scene, and I don't think there are any unnecessary plots. The many branches of
are well-structured and coherent, slowly unfolding to the finale of the last episode, successfully pushing everything to the ultimate climax, and reproducing Yin Zhongbin's style of directing this type of theme.
"Suriname" not only wins the plot, but also takes the production seriously. It is definitely not a streaming production like Netflix. The scenes are huge and exciting, and the action scenes of the big production, just sigh why this script is not turned into a movie?
is really a pity.
In addition to the director, the brilliance of the plot completely depends on the credit of the screenwriter Quan Shenghui.
's role in the screenwriter's pen is unpredictable, and the conflict between "survival" and "destroying morality" is well written. The characters written by
writers are distinct.
Plus what I like is that the screenwriter will bury all kinds of suspense in inadvertent episodes, and then surprise the audience.a feeling.
And the best thing about "Suriname" is the battle of wits and power between Kang In-goo and Quan Yo-hwan.
Since the first episode, Kang In-goo has shown his instinct for decades of social life experience, trying to defeat the Surinamese drug dealer Jeon Yeo-hwan. The exchanges between
are closely related to the issue of "trust is the deadliest deal", and this issue is still going back and forth.
Because of Kang In-gou's trust in Jeon Yeo-hwan in the past, his life was ruined.
Now Jiang Renjiu also wants to use Quan Yaohuan's trust in him to destroy Quan Yaohuan. The change and development of Jiang Renjiu's character in the play is undoubtedly the best in the show. Not only is Cui Changhao nervous, but the audience is also asked To "What is Jiang Renjiu doing?!"
Director Yin Zhongbin is very good at portraying deeply rooted in "male friendship".
knows it from his famous previous "The Secret Service" portrayal of a tense and surprising friendship between a North Korean diplomat and a South Korean spy posing as a businessman.
The extraordinary connection between Kang In Goo and Jeon Yoo Hwan is undoubtedly the heart of Suriname.
To put it bluntly, they went the wrong way in this relationship, but after all, they are Koreans who have left home, they are all trying to make a fortune, and there are other people around.
For example, Chinese-American gangster Bian Jitai and American-raised lawyer Park David, and Jiang Renjiu is also for survival and family. They are both fallen from the end of the world. They are testing Jiang Renjiu's inner struggle, and they have also become the biggest attraction of "Suriname".
I really like that the writer of the first episode used a very dark and depressive way to describe the background of the whole era, which clearly makes the audience feel the opportunity and motivation of Jiang Renjiu's gradual crossing of the moral line.
"You have to try your best to do something, or you will feel that your life will be over. You have worked so hard, what is left of your life?".
implied a lot of helplessness in life in the characters' dialogues, as if people were born to rotate like gears for a lifetime, and then stop meaninglessly.
from the comparison of small characters to the big environment, the screenwriter also quietly revealed that "in the big environment, the resources will always be in the hands of those who can make small moves", and money does not seem to be something that you can get in proportion to your hard work.
Therefore, in "Suriname", I think the director and screenwriter are very particular about "realism", which will also allow the audience to have a deep feeling and experience of the characters from beginning to end. This is where "Suriname" is very successful.
"Suriname" I think is the beginning of Korean dramas to challenge new styles~ Although in the past, Korean dramas also had some issues such as gangs and drug cartels.
However, the style of "Suriname" is more "American".
And the story structure is different from the general Korean dramas, and even the way of telling the story is also different from the Korean dramas we usually watch.
"Suriname" has more wild, exotic style, sense of the times, etc. I think this should be refreshing for viewers who like to follow Korean dramas.
What I like about "Suriname" is that Korean dramas will add a lot of "sarcasm" to the plot.
"Discussing human nature" Koreans are really good at portraying and expounding.
"Suriname" allows viewers to see that in addition to fighting and killing crime shows, there is actually a deeper "human nature" that can be explored.
and sparks were created through the opposition and contrast of the two roles of Kang In-goo and Jeon Yoo-hwan.
What I love is that "Suriname" seriously focuses on these two protagonists. The audience can feel the greed and wickedness of a big drug lord who is crazy out of control and terrible, as well as his worldview of doing business.
and then through Jiang Renjiu, an ordinary person who was basically facing the destruction of his family, was forced to be an undercover agent and contact all the anti-narcotics of the big drug lord.should and feel.
It is a very special perspective to observe Quan Yaohuan from his point of view, and Quan Yaohuan is also eyeing the possible crisis brought by Jiang Renjiu.
, so those who haven't watched it must follow this drama, I really strongly recommend it!
