The urban thriller "Happiness" (aka "Happiness"), starring Han Hyo-joo and Park Kyung-sik, officially concluded last weekend with a happy ending.
Interlocking foreshadowing, ups and downs of the plot, thought-provoking ending, the final battle ended brilliantly, not only won the annual topic Korean drama NO2, but also refreshed its own highest ratings.
The last episode roughly follows the principle that the TV series has always insisted on "good people have good rewards, and evil people have bad rewards".
For the ending of the characters in the play, most of the audience is quite satisfied, and the last 15 minutes have changed the depressive painting style, and the cool drama mode makes the audience watch well or not.
For example, the male protagonist, who was abused by the screenwriter as a human target, was infected with the virus and shot several times, and Finally ushered in the spring in the last 10 minutes of the finale.
The madman virus was conquered, Yi Xian and the infected people were fortunate to be saved, and he finally won the heart of the beauty with a warm sense of justice.
And the heroine Xinchun (Han Xiaozhou) double-stayed and double-flying, began the sweet couple's daily life, touching reunion kisses, sweet back hugs, warm the audience's heart, the emotional drama did not see enough, the audience have asked for a second ride!
For example, the little girl, Shu Yun's understanding makes the audience feel painful, and the screenwriter is not willing to abuse her, this little girl who has been plagued by heart disease for many years finally gained health through surgery and restored the vitality that should be in childhood.
For example, the grandmother's family, the grandmother honesty (Li Zhoushi) is the second infected resident in the whole building, and her illness has always touched the hearts of the audience.
It wasn't until the finale that the camera focused on her again, only to see her hands wrapped around her, looking haggard, and thankfully sober.
This kind grandmother has been isolated at home since the onset of the disease, which not only avoids aggravation of the disease, but also avoids infecting others, and interprets the best appearance of the good citizens in the big picture.
Son Dong-hyun (Jiang Hanquan) finally repents, the family finally comes together after experiencing disaster, the grandfather's prophecy is quickly fulfilled, and the rescuers break through the door, bringing new hope to the family of three.
For example, the writer Hyun Kyung (played by Park Hee-ben) and his brother Soo Min (played by Luo Zhe), the two brothers and sisters have insisted on kindness from beginning to end, the brother has been bitten and unfortunately infected, watching the photos of his family survive the gray, and the sister has good thoughts about the people and things around her.
The brother's illness did not hurt others, the sister was also helping others in times of crisis, and the kind brothers and sisters were eventually treated kindly.
The brother with antibodies in his body eventually became the savior, and the dream of buying a big house for his wife and children to settle down finally came true, and the sister waited for the unsealing of the apartment unscathed unscathed.
For example, the biggest boss, the good guy finally got the good reward, and the evil man Andrew (Li Zhucheng) also got the bad reward, was shot by Yi Xian, regarded other people's lives as grass, and the end of the demon was very happy!
For example, the doctor Wu Zhouzhi (played by Bai Xianzhen) and lou representative Yan Yu (played by Pei Haishan), both of whom eventually paid the price for their wrongdoing, after the apartment was unsealed, both were sent to the defendant's seat, waiting for their final justice trial.
In order to enhance the suspense, the director buried a lot of foreshadowing along the way, but there are too many foreshadowings, which can easily lead to the pit circle not coming back, or forgetting to fill the pit.
Although the ending of "Happiness" is the victory of good over evil, it seems to be very satisfactory, but in fact, there are 3 big pits that have not been filled, and the hasty ending is too obvious.
Did the lieutenant colonel's wife and the baby in her belly survive?
Friends who have watched this drama know that this drama does not have a superfluous character, as a group portrait drama, each character can be said to be the protagonist.
The lieutenant colonel's wife, as the beginning of the tragedy of the whole story, the "hero" who promoted the development of the virus, her ending was not arranged clearly.
Han Tae-suk (Cho Woo-jin) may be an official position that is not secure, but what about his wife who has been eroded by the virus? Was he successfully rescued?
Of all the infected, her condition was the most severe, with several episodes of illness, many times rubbing shoulders with the god of death, and almost being sent to be used as a specimen for development.
The illness is so serious, whether she can survive the day when the vaccine is produced by relying on only one serum, and whether the baby in her belly has survived, these screenwriters have not explained.
Has Uncle Police's injuries been healed?
Jeong-kook (lee joon-hyuk) is the witness of the love of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and the role is second only to the male second, and the coffee position is also the proper male number three.
Although most of his scenes are painless and itchy, it is not so bad that the last episode does not even give 1 shot, right?
You should know that on the eve of the finale, the audience did not sweat for him, and at the end of 10 episodes, he was stabbed by Andrew and fell to the ground, and the 11 episode trailer was covered by the doctor with a pillow.
The screenwriter's men were merciful, and in 11 episodes, the uncle finally escaped from the apartment and met with the lieutenant colonel under the protection of the heroine.
The female protagonist returned to the apartment to reunite with the male protagonist, the little girl was sent to the operating table, what about the uncle of Zhengguo who was seriously injured and dying? Is there any escape from danger?
The uncle read the whole episode of the wife also did not appear, originally thought that the finale would give the two sons a reunion shot, but unfortunately did not wait for anything, a little disappointed, in addition to the uncle, and he escaped from the apartment with the cashier sister The ending was not arranged.
Have the lawyers and little three been punished by the law?
In addition to the open-ended treatment of the lieutenant colonel's wife and the police uncle, the ending of lawyer Hae Sung (Park Hyung-so) and Xiao San Sang-hee (Played by Moon Yeon) was directly ignored.
The hurtfulness of these two people can be said to be second only to the villain doctor and the lou representative, and the lawyer's kung fu of running out of the door and throwing garbage is cheating on the little three next door, completely treating the wife as a fool, which is extremely insulting.
Not only that, but he is also the one who tempted the uncle to open the door, and the uncle who killed the policeman was stabbed by Andrew, and as an accomplice, he should also be punished as a due.
In order to get the doctor's money, xiao san repeatedly hit the doctor's head with a golf ball, and the two should be punished in both moral and legal terms.
But the finale only gave the two a small lesson, that is, their plan to embezzle the doctor's money failed, such an ending is not convincing, right?
The open ending of the lieutenant colonel's wife and the police uncle is reverie, the lawyer and the sloppy ending of The third is puzzling, and the cleaning aunt and Kim Se-hoon (played by Han Junyu) have become the cannon fodder of the screenwriter's pen.
To tell the truth, the script of "Happiness" is really a rare and superior creation, with a novel and wonderful theme, lofty intentions and based on reality.
The actors have good looks and acting skills, the chemistry between each other is also very good, the director's lens language is also very accurate, and the post-soundtrack production is also very fanatic.
If the production funds are invested more, a few more episodes are filmed, even if it is one more episode, the account should be explained clearly, and it will not be so hasty to finish, and it will not fall into the "tiger's tail" verbal dispute, which is a pity!
But it is undeniable that "Happiness" is a wonderful work, just 12 episodes will interpret the truth, goodness, beauty and ugliness of human nature to the fullest, and I will revisit it when I have the opportunity, maybe there will be another state of mind.
I am the author of cat cat fishing entertainment, the next issue is more exciting, welcome to pay attention.
