After experiencing the explosion of "Squid Game", Netflix Korean dramas can be said to have become a global hot spot.
Before there was a world-class blockbuster, the audience was anxiously waiting for the next blockbuster to be born.
This is not a thousand calls to come out, Netflix's annual blockbuster sci-fi Korean drama is finally released at one time.
But looking closely at the ratings, I'm a little sorry for the big strokes of this drama -
The Silent Sea
From the release of the episode trailer, it is estimated that countless fans are a little excited.
The big investment science fiction in the background of the moon base is full of texture, and several leading actors are a top strong.
Kong Liu, the male god who just made a cameo appearance in "Squid Game", has a strong acting school in many good films in his resume.
In order to cooperate with Netflix to promote this new drama, he also specially registered INS to interact with netizens and sell hard.
Pei Doona, this one's acting level needless to say, looking at south Korea's top two.
And her international popularity is also unmatched, and she has collaborated with Kore-eda on "Air Dolls".
He has also starred in Netflix dramas many times, and "Kingdom" and "Super Sense Hunting" are all red dramas that break the circle.
But just such a film was born with a golden spoon, as if it was destined to be a divine drama "Silent Sea".
In the end, the score on Douban was only 6.4, and it barely passed the pass and continued to decline.
What went wrong?
The series takes place in 2075, not a distant future era.
At this time, the human aerospace industry has been improved like a fly.
Not only is it easier to land on the moon, but a large research base has even been established on the moon.
However, scientific and technological breakthroughs have not saved the deterioration of the earth's natural environment.
Water resources, which are at the root of life, are increasingly scarce, and the survival of the world's population is mortally threatened.
The scramble for water has become the norm in international politics and the daily despair of ordinary people.
At such a critical juncture, a squad was ordered to the moon to retrieve a mysterious research sample.
The leader of the team, named Han Yuncai, reported directly to the task initiator, Director Cui.
The important reason why he took on this mission was that his daughter was seriously ill and at risk of amputation.
But as long as the ration level is increased to get better drinking water, the disease may be contained.
Another key member is Dr. Song, who was also invited by Director Cui to join the squad.
In addition to helping the squad research, she also has an unknown background -
Families of the victims
The team's destination was the Bohai base, which had been closed five years ago due to an accident.
No one knows exactly what happened at the base, just speculation about a radiation leak.
Dr. Song's sister was doing research at the Bohai sea base and did not succeed in escaping.
The mission looks simple, just entering the base to retrieve the sample.
But the reality is extremely complex, and from the time of landing on the moon, the fate of many people has been dangerous.
The communication system was destroyed when the spacecraft landed hard, and the only way back to Earth was to wait for the rescue ship.
A team member died before he even entered the base, and these were just a precursor to the storm.
After entering the base, the group found countless dried up corpses.
They were all researchers who had not been able to evacuate five years ago, and no one was spared in the accident.
But the strange thing is that the cause of death of these people, all the corpses are consistent with the manifestation of drowning.
Where does the desert moon get so much water?
Although the team members wanted to know what was happening, their first priority was to find the sample tanks.
Unexpectedly, the accident five years ago happened again, and someone accidentally contracted a mysterious virus.
The body of a person infected with the virus produces a large amount of water, which is ejaculated from the mouth.
Therefore, the onset of the disease will definitely cause drowning suffocation of the infected person, and there is no doubt that he will die.
Five years ago, it was the virus that swept through the base and killed all the researchers.
Faced with the tragic death of their companions, the others were both terrified and shocked by this deadly water virus.
And the experimental sample that Director Cui concealed is also it-
Moon water
This virus, which was found on the moon, can convert human blood into new lunar water.
If you can control the growth of monthly water, it is equivalent to obtaining unlimited water resources.
Whoever controls the moon water has the greatest power of life and death on the earth.
The authorities represented by Director Cui thought so, but the secret of Yueshui was not known only to them.
Everyone has their own purpose, and the purpose of the spies in the team is to seize the moon water.
There is also a dangerous survivor in the base, Luna, who has already killed the two team members.
Humans who can survive in this environment for five years must be inextricably linked to the mysterious moon water.
The superiors who conceal the truth, the spies who are eager to move, and the invisible virus that kills people.
Captain Han and Dr. Song are surrounded by dangers, and the task of digging up the truth and returning to Earth is becoming more and more arduous...
Seeing this, I believe that British drama fans have now popped up a name in their minds:
Doctor Who: Water of Mars
This is a special episode of the 2009 Broadcast, David Tennant edition of Doctor Who.
It tells the story of Doctor Who's teleportation to 2059, a Mars base that preceded the nuclear explosion disaster.
He thought it was just an unexpected disaster, so he took a look at it and prepared to leave.
But by this time someone in the base had already been infected by the water of Mars and began to attack other humans.
This water is derived from the Martian ice and is an alien creature that doesrmant in a low temperature environment.
Humans infected by it will completely replace consciousness and infect others like zombies.
Infected people are almost all over the water, not only can spray water but also shoot water with their hands.
Speaking of this, everyone should understand -
The concept of moon water has the meaning of plagiarism
Dripping water infection, spraying water in the mouth, low temperature environment and other designs are the same.
However, in complete comparison, there is of course a difference between the two.
For example, Moonwater is just a simple virus rather than a living body, and the infected person becomes a zombie and a dead body.
The main clue of the episode is Luna and the spy, South Korea's favorite political conspiracy.
It is not enough to say that it is a script, but the ambiguous relationship between the misappropriation parts is hard to blame.
After all, the water of Mars is a special episode in 2009, and the director's so-called short film predecessor was only in 2014.
Putting aside the setting of the moon water, "Silent Sea" is actually more like "Alien" in terms of appearance.
The first infection of the water spray and the alien chamber breaker have almost the same effect, slowly unveiling the mysterious creature.
A gladiatorial fight in a confined space, Luna, who runs around in the ventilation duct, takes over the alien's line.
Including political intrigue and team espionage, these designs are more akin to Alien.
Like the similarities in the elements, it is certainly not plagiarism, it can only be said that there is nothing new.
In addition to suspected plagiarism and no new accidents, the show has a big problem.
A story that others can tell in one episode and one movie, it slowly swallowed up a whole eight episodes.
The plot progresses extremely slowly, the pace is sparse, and the perception is so slow that it makes people sleepy.
The batch of approval, and finally said something remarkable.
First of all, Kong Liu and Pei Douna are big names are not in vain, and the performances are excellent.
In particular, Dr. Song, played by Pei Douna, is delicate in the trauma brought about by the loss of relatives.
Secondly, Netflix's investment is really rich, and the special effects, props and sets are absolutely first-class.
The picture has achieved the texture of the movie, and it can be seen that Netflix wants to create a new blockbuster.
It also makes people wonder what kind of big battle the second season of "Squid Games" will have.
At the end of the day, The Silent Sea's performance is unsatisfactory.
According to the ending of the director and the second season plan, Netflix has not yet announced the renewal news.
I hope that the second season will polish the script first, and stop using the stinky and long 8 episodes to cheat the cost.
