It’s not easy to write about Korean dramas recently, because the relatively good dramas have relatively sensitive themes, and the platform is quite exclusive, so not many people recommend them.
However, there is only one Korean drama that has not been completed in May and has a high score of 8+, and that is "Graduation" directed by Ahn Pan-seok. It is the "most popular drama" broadcast on tvn on May 11 after "Queen of Tears". Love Korean Drama" series.
Unlike "Queen of Tears", which sells its male and female protagonists in popularity, most people who watch "Graduation" watch the drama because of its director Ahn Pan-seok, who won the "Baeksang Arts Award for Best Director". The quality of the work is very high, basically the score will not be lower than 7+.
Moreover, the dramas he shoots have a unique personal style and atmosphere. Many people regard his dramas as their "favorite Korean drama" series.
For example, the 2014 " secret meeting " is about the alternative relationship between a 20-year-old low-income boy and an upper-class married woman 20 years older than him. This kind of "alien" in love dramas with obvious themes.
However, it was shot by director Ahn in a complex gray color, with an offensive and sharp temperament that is rare in Korean romance dramas. Many people said that watching "Secret Meeting" was like shooting a bullet in my heart, which shows the power of a drama.
But there are two extremes in his drama, that is, people who like it will like it very much, and people who hate it will hate it very much. However, the content of "Graduation" he filmed ten years later is much easier to accept. The story background of
is set in Daechi-dong, Gangnam District, which is one of the three richest areas in South Korea and a famous cram school community.
The heroine in the play is named Xu Huizhen, and her character is a famous Chinese teacher in a tutoring institution. She is not an ordinary tutor, but a living brand of the tutoring class.
Parents of students trust her very much. Many parents moved their families to Dazhidong, Jiangnan District in order to attend her class. It seems that "tiger parents" and "tiger mothers" are the same wherever they go.
The male protagonist Li Junhao is a graduate of a prestigious school. He went to a good university with the best grades and then entered a large company. He is also an honorary student of the female protagonist Xu Huizhen's tutoring institution. He has been secretly in love with his teacher for ten years.
However, this romance film directed by An is obviously not a "straight shot". The first few episodes show a lot of the involution and struggle of the tutoring industry, so fans who want to watch a pure romance drama will be a little disappointed.
The heroine Xu Huizhen is already a top figure in the industry, with an annual salary higher than that of a team leader in a large company. However, her professional pressure is very high. She is well aware of the pain of the industry and does not want her student Li Junhao to follow suit.
But she didn’t know that Li Junhao’s entry into the education and training industry was a lie, and that it was true that he had a crush on his teacher.
The plot started to shift towards the love line from the fourth episode, and became exciting in the sixth episode with the confession scene. It was a winter night. In order to help the cram school director who was kneeling, Li Junhao accidentally fell into the water and his clothes were all wet.
Xu Huizhen accompanied him back to the cram school to keep warm. Xu Huizhen held Li Junhao's cold and trembling hands tightly in her own and began to respond to the male protagonist's questions.
Facing the bold and enthusiastic Li Junhao, she felt that such a man was a variable in her life, and she was at a loss about the relationship between the two.
Fortunately, the male protagonist Li Junhao is more powerful, and he will not let go when faced with the female protagonist's hints and rejections. And he said to the heroine: I can no longer use first love as an excuse to hide my feelings, because I like you more and more, and my feelings are so strong that I can no longer hide my feelings.
Although the heroine did not respond to this confession, there was a brief impulsive kiss, which was considered the beginning of a sweet love.
In the seventh episode, the male protagonist continued his confession again, this time the two of them were walking on the road at night.
Li Junhao took Xu Huizhen's hand and said to her: "I have always only had Xu Huizhen in my eyes, so just don't push me away." In the end, the two broke the relationship in this episode and started holding hands. The former teacher and the rude disciple Finally, the "little daughter" mood appeared.
It must be said that Director An is indeed good at filming love scenes. Although the lines in this drama are convoluted and long, which will test the audience's patience, the main body is in the "adult love" mode, whether it is a hug scene, a kiss scene, Even the sex scenes were shot with great feeling.
Especially recently, Seo Hye Jin said to Lee Jun Ho: "Don't call me teacher". The full sense of stringiness simply made the drama fans crazy! Some netizens directly commented: "Why do I feel more erotic?" and "I feel like a pervert." I'm so shy!
I personally think that the overall story line of the Korean drama "Graduation" is relatively routine, at least for director Ahn Pan-seok. However, the director's shooting atmosphere and the performance of the actors are very high, which elevates the entire drama to a certain level. the height of.
Most viewers were initially dissatisfied with the male protagonist Wei Hajun. This Korean star, who became famous all over the world because of Netflix's hit series "Squidward Game", is obviously labeled as an action actor.
In "Graduation", he played the male lead in a romantic drama for the first time. Many people felt that his appearance was lacking and he did not have the literary and artistic atmosphere required for the male lead. There were many complaints.
After watching only ten episodes, I personally feel that the male protagonist Wei Hejunwei is very close to the character. He looks real and natural, and even has a few minor flaws, but when he is introduced into the plot, he is very interesting and exciting, and does not hold him back.
The female lead Zheng Liyuan has not acted in a romantic drama for a long time. It is really surprising to see that her appearance remains the same in this drama. She had always wanted to work with director Ahn Pan-seok and decided to star in the film without even reading the script.
In fact, judging from the current popularity of this drama, she did make the right choice. She and Wei Hejun, a pair of young CP lovers, are itching to have sex. Fans of the drama are urging for an update, hoping for a good ending.
