What kind of drama can make the audience look forward to it before it is broadcast?
That must have a strong enough cast lineup.
Recently, Netflix has such a drama, which made many netizens shout their expectations when they just announced the starring lineup.
This drama is a collection of Ha Zhengyu , Huang Zhengmin , Zhang Zhen , as well as Park Hae Soo (" Squid Game " " Banknote House "), Liu Yanxi (" witty doctor's life "), Choo Ja Hyun and many other Korean national actors joined the drug lord drama "Suriname".
"Suriname" is based on real events. In addition to the top cast, it is also a movie-level production. The production cost of just six episodes is as high as 35 billion won.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, this drama was released all at once.
Xiaobian is also crazy for six episodes in one breath.
Today, let's talk about this
"Suriname"
The story at the beginning of the story is very compact.
In just ten minutes, the protagonist Kang Goo-in (played by Ha Jung-woo) went from his student days to marrying a wife and having children.
In order to support his family, the male protagonist repairs cars in the factory during the day and runs a karaoke hall at night.
But he still felt that he could not bring a good life to his wife and children.
At this time, a small child who has been running overseas has brought him a way to make money:
The ray sashimi sold at high prices in South Korea is thrown away as garbage in another country.
Just smuggle these rays into Korea and they can make a fortune. The country
is Suriname in northern South America.
Despite his wife's objection, the male protagonist went to Suriname, a foreign country, without hesitation.
But is it that easy to smuggle overseas?
The money hasn't been made yet, but trouble has come.
In addition to the local army, Chen Zhen (Zhang Zhen), the boss of a Chinese gangster who heard of seafood smuggling, also came to collect high protection fees.
Desperate, they accidentally meet Pastor Jeon Yeo-hwan (played by Hwang Jung-min) in a church. Pastor
very loyally offered to help them solve the problem of protection fees, and took them to Chinatown to negotiate with Chen Zhen.
Who would have thought that it would be successful?
At this time, you must have the same doubt as the editor, why did the gang boss compromise to a small church priest?
zThe 1z story quickly told us the answer.
Before the first batch of goods arrived, the male protagonist was arrested and imprisoned because the customs found that there was a large amount of cocaine on board, and his entire net worth was lost.
When the male protagonist is desperate, Choi Chang-ho (played by Park Hae-soo) of the Korean Intelligence Service finds him and tells him the true identity of the pastor -
The biggest drug lord in Korea once. After being wanted, he fled to Suriname, where he continued to sell drugs in the guise of a priest.
Cui Changhao wanted to ask the male protagonist to become an undercover agent to help them bring the priest to justice, but the male protagonist had to agree to make up for the loss.
The plot is here, and the audience also opens the perspective of God. The story behind
, the editor will not spoil the story ha~
is a much-anticipated Korean drama that was scheduled to be one of this year's hit dramas before its launch.
only got a score of 7.3 after Douban opened it, and it dropped to 7 within a few days.
The feedback from the audience seems to confirm that "the expectation is as great as the disappointment".
I have to say that although the leading actors of this show have superb acting skills, they have a lot of flaws in the plot and character settings. The two villains in
-
, the pastor played by Huang Zhengmin, is dressed as a savior, full of benevolence and morality, and talks about God and Hallelujah.
He used those devout believers to control them to transport and make drugs for him, even children.
His identity is very different, and it also confirms another name of the show-Narco-Saints.
Although he acts cautiously in the play, he is extremely suspicious, and he always shows distrust of the people around him.
But why do you unconditionally believe in a fish seller who needs help even for protection money?
was also played around by two flawed undercover agents.
Chen Zhen, played by Zhang Zhen, the most appropriate evaluation of him that the editor saw is "silly black sweet".
As the head of a gangster in Chinatown, he is reckless and cruel enough.
but he's also brainless enough.
He is timid and has no ability to judge. He is led by the nose of the male protagonist and the priest.
That's why he was forever held down by priests in Suriname and could not get the right to sell cocaine.
And the hero, he is resourceful and powerful.
even commented by some netizens that if the male protagonist goes black and sells drugs, he may be much more successful than the pastor.
But the male protagonist's undercover road is so smooth, and the overly obvious aura of the protagonist is indispensable.
If it weren't for this bright protagonist's halo, this fisherman might not survive the third episode.
All in all, this is a story without any surprises in the plot.
The acting skills of the main actors are of course nothing to say,
but the later stage is more procrastinated, the plot structure is thin, and the logic cannot bear careful scrutiny.
Although the overall look and feel is good, the leading actors with explosive acting skills have added a lot of points to this story.
But the editor thinks that such a script is really a waste of such a strong cast lineup, which is a bit like killing chickens with a knife.
The story ends with a seemingly perfect but somewhat bland ending.
The villain was arrested and punished by law, and the protagonist returned to a happy and peaceful life.
But the final shot is intriguing, and I seem to smell the second season renewal.
If there is a second season, I hope there will be a good script, coupled with such a top lineup, let the audience have a real visual feast!
