html In the first snow season 210 years ago, the movie "My Love from the Star" became a hit.
From aunts in their fifties and sixties to junior high school students in their teens, everyone is intoxicated by the charm of alien Do Min Joon Xi and super female star Cheon Song Yi.
At that time, this drama had more than 6 billion domestic online views. So far, more than 2.38 million people have rated it on Douban, with a rating of 8.5.
Although the subject matter is a love idol drama that has become popular, there are also bloody plots in the drama.
But why is "My Love from the Star" so popular? There are still no less than 100 people watching the show every day?
As a love idol drama, the storyline of "My Love from the Star" is simple and cliché.
It tells the story of a nearly perfect male protagonist from outer space who meets a cute and reckless female protagonist when he can return to his own planet in three months. In the process of constantly encountering and solving troubles,
gradually deepens their understanding and then falls in love.
The plot is very simple and clear, and as long as it is a drama, there will be flaws, and "My Love from the Star" is no exception.
For example, in the play, Do Minjun can't forget Yihua, who died to save him 400 years ago, but Yihua has a gentle personality, which is very different from Qian Songyi's narcissism and nonsensicalness.
However, what puzzled the audience was that Do Minjun met Qian Songyi in modern times and unexpectedly learned that he was the reincarnation of Yihua. quickly fell in love with the uneducated and neurotic Qian Songyi. .
Many netizens commented, is reincarnation a panacea?
Can Do Minjun suddenly fall in love with a person who wears the same vest but is completely different on the inside?
Or is it because love comes too fast, like a tornado?
At the same time, there is another thing about Do Minjun that makes the audience very puzzled, and that is: Why did he fail many times and get injured in the process of fighting the villain?
Many people cannot understand that aliens with superpowers cannot defeat ordinary earthlings.
Of course, there are still many flaws in the whole drama, such as the heroine putting a wet towel through the bangs of the feverish hero; the hero is almost healed from his injuries, the heroine can also find bloody glass from the trash can, etc.
However, there must be something extraordinary about "My Love from the Star" to become a hit drama 10 years ago, even popular in Southeast Asia.
Ten years after it was aired, many people are still watching it again and again.
So, what is the magic power of it?
First, of course, the magic from outer space.
The male protagonist Do Minjun in the play is an outer space creature that came to the earth 400 years ago. He has immortality on the earth, and also has super powers such as suspending time, predicting the future, and super hearing. The identity setting of
can be said to be unique among many TV dramas that travel through the past and present, and the present and past. A male protagonist like
not only satisfies women's fantasy of a perfect partner, but also leaves a lot of suspense, making people full of expectations for the subsequent plot.
After all, the male protagonist is so strong, the difficulties and dangers encountered should not be small, the opponents should not be weak, and the plot development will definitely be interesting.
In addition to the new surprises in the character's identity setting, "My Love from the Star" also breaks away from the lingering and protracted style of Korean love idol dramas in the past. The plot is very compact, which makes the audience follow the drama and it is very satisfying.
For example, in the first 19 minutes of the first episode, the background of the characters was clearly explained, the characters of the male and female protagonists were deeply portrayed, and the encounter between the male and female protagonists was completed. The first episode of
starts with a magnificent ancient scene, telling the story of the male protagonist coming to the earth from outer space 400 years ago and meeting the ancient female protagonist. The ancient female protagonist died trying to save him;
then cuts back to modern times, and the male protagonist The Lord sat at the table and expressed His views on human life, explaining that He only had three months left to stay on Earth.
finished explaining the male protagonist, and then the female protagonist appeared. Through posing, paying attention to body management, and talking to the agent, the audience was deeply impressed by the heroine's career and personality; then came the scene where the male and female protagonists meet.
It is less than 20 minutes long. It needs a story and a suspense. "My Love from the Star" has firmly grabbed the audience's attention from the very beginning.
If you don’t follow this kind of drama, which one should you follow?
However, the real strength of "My Love from the Star" lies in its depiction of the fateful and romantic love between the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist of
waited alone under the sky of Seoul for 400 years and finally found the person he loved.
The most beautiful love in the world is just that, no matter how long time passes, from beginning to end, I only love you; traveling around the world is just to meet you.
Confessions and kisses in the early snow; every casual complaint of the heroine is taken to heart and corrected immediately; occasional doting looks and smiles are inadvertent.
All the goddesses shouted crazily in their hearts: "It's so romantic!"
"My Love from the Star" satisfies all people's fantasies about love to the greatest extent. Although they know that everything is false, who can't enjoy such an experience? Where is love?
At the same time, the whole drama has an open ending, which makes many viewers still scratching their heads and thinking like a lunatic. Is Do Minjun back?
These two people will never be separated again, right? Are you sure it's not a tragedy?
Such an exquisite design deeply attracted the audience.
Of course, "My Love from the Star" is so popular. In addition to the innovative characters, compact plot and clever design, the god-level performance of the male and female protagonists also contributes a lot.
The heroine Cheon Song Yi played by Jun Ji Hyun in the drama is a super female star who debuted at a young age and did not read much. She often switches back and forth between a goddess and a goddess. While making the audience laugh, they can't help but admire her. Acting.
Do Minjun, played by Kim Soo-hyun, not to mention.
Whenever Qian Songyi encounters difficulties or danger, he will appear in time to help her solve the difficulties and use super powers to save her.
Back then, when all the goddesses saw Do Minjun falling from the sky and jumping on the car with his bare hands, they were all so handsome that they screamed.
Coupled with the sad tone set by the plot, the sense of loneliness and abstinence flowing through him makes the goddesses full of maternal love in their hearts unable to stop.
A super invincible handsome guy has lived alone on the earth for hundreds of years. He met his first lover a few months before leaving. He fell deeply in love but dared not say it out loud. Thinking about it makes the goddesses heartbroken. Incessantly.
However, there are praises and doubts.
Do Min Joon is a person with more than 400 years of life experience in the drama. He has a mature vision. Therefore, throughout the entire drama, Do Min Joon, played by Kim Soo Hyun, looks very calm most of the time, without a lot of emotion. facial expression.
This also led to some people commenting that he was facially paralyzed throughout the play and had no acting skills.
Some people even commented that anyone can play the role of Do Min Joon well as long as he is a handsome guy. Kim Soo Hyun became famous because of Do Min Joon, but it was just good luck.
However, is this really the case?
In fact, after watching the whole drama, you will find that Kim Soo Hyun used a lot of micro-expressions and eyes when playing Do Min Joon, and his performance was very good in various scenes.
For example, in the scene where she met Qian Songyi for the first time, in the elevator, Qian Songyi took the initiative to speak when she saw him. He looked at her in confusion at first, but when he heard Qian Songyi's narcissistic words Finally, he felt that this person was really funny and might be mentally ill. Then he turned around helplessly. Finally, when Qian Songyi came up to him and told him that he was following him, he closed his eyes in anger and ignored her.
Throughout the whole process, Kim Soo Hyun's series of expressions and movements followed his psychological changes, and his performance was perfect.
Another example is when Do Minjun learned that Qian Songyi also loved him. Although he was turbulent in his heart, he was still very calm on the surface. He seemed not to care, but his chest was rising and falling.
In this scene, Kim Soo Hyun brilliantly played Do Min Joon who couldn't help but love but didn't dare to love, so he had to suppress and struggle desperately.
Of course, there are more clips in the drama that can prove that Kim Soo Hyun actually has excellent acting skills in this drama, and he plays Do Min Joon very vividly.
With this drama, he became Baeksang's first double winner of film and television popularity in the past 50 years, setting a precedent in the history of Baeksang for one person to win three trophies in a single year;
At the same time, he also relied on the role of Do Minjun He has won more than ten honors including the Highest Acting Award at the 7th Korean Drama Awards and the Best Actor Award in Asia at the 8th Tokyo International Drama Festival.
After "My Love from the Star", by the second half of 2017, Kim Soo Hyun only appeared in the TV series "Producer" and the movie "Real". Although his works are few but good.
With "The Producer", Kim Soo Hyun won three acting awards at the Korean Drama Awards, Daejeon Drama Festival, and KBS Drama Awards, pushing his career to a new level.
At that time, he was quite popular. He was getting a lot of favors just from endorsements, and he was getting film appointments one after another.
Just when fans thought he would continue his efforts and launch new film and television works, news came that he had enlisted in the army to serve in the military.
In fact, Kim Soo Hyun has had heart disease since he was a child, and even fainted due to it in his senior year of high school. According to his physical condition, he does not actually need to enlist in the army for active service, but only needs to serve as a relatively relaxed public service soldier.
If it were any other star, while he was young and popular, he would definitely have had to enlist in the army and take on more movies.
However, it is estimated that Kim Soo Hyun has a dream of being a soldier, and he is not afraid that if he enlists in the army and disappears for two years, he will be eliminated by the ever-changing entertainment industry.
It is said that in order to enlist in the army on active duty, Kim Soo Hyun actively received treatment, underwent multiple surgeries, and worked hard to exercise, and finally realized his wish to enlist in the army on active duty.
During his military service, Kim Soo Hyun also performed very well. Not only was he promoted to soldier commander early, he also won the title of "Special Soldier".
In 2020, Kim Soo Hyun-jae returned to the public eye again after completing his military service. After nearly two years of military service, although there is no visible change in appearance, he feels more mature and calm. After
, two film and television dramas starring him, "It's Okay, It's Okay" and "One Day", were released one after another. Although his acting skills were still there, these two dramas failed to trigger a ratings frenzy like "My Love from the Star".
Although the audience was not attracted by Kim Soo Hyun's role in the drama, they were attracted by his chocolate abs and small waist that he showed in the two dramas. "Kim Soo Hyun's abs" was also trending on the Internet.
Recently, some fans met him on the street in South Korea and were even more amazed that Do Minjunxi has not changed at all after 10 years.
has no pressure to play the role of a high school student, and his figure is even more upright. He still feels full of youth. Could it be that he uses his time-stopping ability outside the play?
While Korean male stars such as Lee Min Ho and Park Seo-joon are "fermenting" one after another, Kim Soo-hyun can avoid "fermentation", which makes people lament that his self-discipline is too strong.
The popularity of "My Love from the Star" has its inevitable factors and some luck, but whether an actor can become popular depends more on his personal strength.
After "My Love from the Star", even though Kim Soo Hyun had few works due to his enlistment in the army.
But it can still be seen that he has not relaxed his demands on himself and is still working tirelessly to polish his acting skills.
Now that he is back, his appearance and figure have remained unchanged for 10 years.
has allowed the audience to see his self-discipline and excellence. I believe he will bring good works to the audience soon.
