On the evening of November 12, two Korean dramas, "Now in the Hands of Separation" and "Sleeve Red Trim", were broadcast at the same time.
The former is starred by the well-known Korean actress Song Huiqiao, which won 8.0% high ratings at the premiere, and the audience appeal is very strong. But on the other hand, the episode "Sleeve Red Trim" has a much better reputation. Although there is no big star to support the performance, but still with a wonderful story to score a good score of 8.1 points, strong hanging Song Huiqiao's new drama with only 7 points.
The story is set in ancient Korea, and the protagonists are the palace maids Sung Deok-jin and Jeong-zu Lee Woo (equivalent to the emperor of our country). The two met in childhood and reunited as teenagers. In the process of getting along day and night, feelings are generated, thus bringing the audience a sweet and funny romance.
The first episode premiered, focusing on the presentation of court power plots. At that time, Li Qi, the ancestor of Zhengzu, was still in his infancy and was a grandson (equivalent to the imperial grandson of our country).
Before the age of 10, he had already experienced cruel things such as the tragic death of his father and the death of his grandmother. And these things happened related to the "imperial power struggle", which made Li Qi very afraid.
When paying tribute to his grandmother, Li Qi met Cheng Deren, a palace girl who was also in her infancy. With the help of Cheng Deren, he leaves in a panic to escape his grandfather's anger (due to some secret court reasons, his grandfather does not allow his grandson Li Qi to pay homage to his grandmother).
Later, when Li Qi was framed by others in the palace, it was also because of Cheng Deren's brave help that he was lucky to save his life. But unfortunately, because of Cheng Deren's deliberate concealment of identity, Li Zhi never knew that It was Cheng Deren who helped him.
Then the story comes to the second episode, and the "Romance of Love" is officially staged after the background of the times.
At this time, the palace ladies Cheng Deren and Li Qi had both grown into teenagers. When the two met when Li Qi was out dealing with government affairs, the heavenly maiden directly smashed Li Qi into the puddle, and the comedic effect was full of the atmosphere of the play.
The most clichéd "Joy and Sorrow" setting between the two is the same, but in the interesting anti-routine plot and the wonderful performances of the two actors, it is not too much to say that it is to laugh people out of the pig...
Different from other types of single-type Korean costume dramas, the positioning of "Sleeve Red Trim" is thrilling power plot + romantic funny light comedy, power plot love drama grasps both hands, and the integration between the two story lines is very clever.
The power plot in the series is thrilling and heavy: at that time, Yingzu Li Fu (also equivalent to the emperor of our country) was the son of a slave maid, so he was particularly sensitive to the word "slave". Together with the Chronicle of History, all books containing such terms are listed as prohibited.
But for Li Qi, who was devoted to politics, the "History" was a rare and good teaching material, so he secretly read it against his grandfather's orders, and then was discovered by people with hearts and told his grandfather.
The palace guards went to the library of Li Qi's residence to search for books, nervous and frightening, afraid that the "Records of History" that Li Qi had read would be discovered.
Immediately after, it was Cheng Deren who wittily tore off the pages of the "Records of History" containing the two characters of slaves, because the pages were torn off, and Li Qi was lucky to save his life.
The power plot drama and the love drama complement each other, making the series more exciting and interesting.
On the other side, there is the audience's favorite "high sweet and hilarious light comedy love". The first time they met, Cheng Deren knocked Li Qi into a puddle. After a chicken flying dog jump to rescue Li Qi's operation, he was embarrassed to find that the water was not waist, and the laugh point was 100 points.
Cheng Deren's personality is a palace girl. Because he did not know that Li Qi was the son of the world, he always did something bold: either to use a broom to drive Li Qi out of the library, or to angrily throw salt on Li Qi.
In the dusty sky, Li Qi showed an expression of "angry and helpless", which was full of joy with the helpless picture of the salt grains on his face with his hands.
Li Qi's character is the most popular "belly black" character for female audiences. On the one hand, he deliberately concealed his identity from Cheng Deren in order to get along with him on an equal footing; on the other hand, he secretly rubbed revenge, using Shizi's power to deliberately make it difficult for Cheng Deren, and asked him to write a "reaction text about the incident of crashing himself into a puddle" over and over again.
It seems to be torture, but in fact, I can't help but be moved. Because I was curious, I wanted to spend more time with Cheng Deren. Dark and awkward and cute, who can not love such a male protagonist?
Not to mention the anti-routine comedy sections in the series. When the two were looking for an important map in the library together, Cheng Deren accidentally fell, but fortunately Li Qi appeared in time.
Thinking that it would be a romantic picture of a hero saving the United States, I did not expect that Li Qi would directly push Cheng Deren back to the bookshelf with a strong push back, and even Cheng Deren's nose hit the book hard. When the "Should I thank him" line appeared on the screen, it was really funny.
Unfortunately, the heroine of the series, Li Shirong, played by Cheng Deren, acted slightly too hard. He performed well with Li Qi when playing against each other, and played a feeling of joy and happiness. But when it comes to his own personal scenes, he can't grasp the five facial features flying around, and he looks a little embarrassed.
In addition to the male protagonist Li Qi, there is also a male number two in the series, who also has an "emotional entanglement" with Cheng Deren from the fixed trailer. In the series, the male number two is set up as "the first flower beauty man", but the difference between the actor's appearance and performance and human setting is too large. It can be seen that the writers and directors want to present a romantic atmosphere, but they still can't convince the audience.
However, on the whole, the drama "Red Trim on the Sleeve" is still worth watching. There are thrilling and heavy power plots, and there are also romantic and funny love scenes. In the follow-up plot, there will also be a big heroine cool drama of "Cheng Deren counterattacked all the way from the palace girl to the concubine in the palace", let us wait and see
