Recently, I revisited the original work of "Step by Step", and found that there are 3 places that make people think about it very carefully, 10 years ago, I only paid attention to how entangled the protagonist's love is, which makes people extremely moved.
Now that I look back on the original book, I have a unique feeling.
1. The grudge between the Eighth Master and the Fourth Master was largely caused by Ruoxi
Ruoxi is a modern person who has traveled to ancient times and has read history, so she knows the end of The Eight Masters from the beginning.
When she broke up with the eighth master, she firmly told the eighth master to be careful of the fourth master and stay away from the fourth master.
She was originally well-intentioned to remind her, but the eighth master in the palace was also striving for the position of prince, so he decided that Ruoxi's words meant that the fourth master would be unfavorable to him and compete for the position of prince.
In fact, at that time, the fourth master was hidden very deeply, and he was not discovered by the eighth master at all, and he had the heart to fight for reserves.
Eight Masters' team was focused only on the prince, and they didn't notice the fourth master hiding in the shadows, but Ruoxi's words woke up Eight Masters at once.
Therefore, the team of the eighth master began to target the fourth master and the thirteenth master, united against them, and distorted the facts, which had the result of the thirteenth master carrying the pot for the fourth master and forbidding the beekeeping road for more than 10 years.
At this point, the hatred between the fourth master and the eighth master was also concluded, and the fourth master hated the eighth master, so after becoming emperor later, he targeted the eighth master everywhere, just to torture him and achieve the purpose of revenge.
Everything that happened later was unexpected by Ruoxi, she thought that she was just a kind reminder, but she did not expect that it was this sentence that led to the frontal struggle between the eighth master and the fourth master.
Whether it is the domestic version of "Step by Step" or the Korean version of "Step by Step", there are references to Ruoxi's reminder of the goodwill of the Eight Masters, resulting in the result of the two of them later being intolerable.
2. The Emperor's referral of Ruoxi to the Fourteenth Master actually had great significance
Ruoxi entered the palace for 10 years and served the emperor, which can be said to be dedicated, and the emperor also loved her very much. He even said that Ruoxi was like his daughter Ten Grids.
This Gege never appeared, but it can also be seen that the Emperor loves Ten Gege very much, because Ruoxi is similar to her, so he also has a special affection for Ruoxi.
When he was in the grassland, Min Min's father even recognized Ruoxi as his daughter, ostensibly to thank Ruoxi, but in fact he also understood that the emperor valued Ruoxi and knew that Ruoxi was by no means an ordinary palace girl on the surface.
As for Ruoxi's marriage, this may be a difficult matter, I think when the crown prince asked the emperor to promise Ruoxi to himself, the emperor directly refused, the prince's status is noble, is he not worthy of Ruoxi?
The emperor did not think so, in his heart, he had long regarded Ruoxi as his half daughter, so for Ruoxi's marriage, he had always been hesitant, thinking about it, unable to decide.
Like his father, he thought about Ruoxi thoughtfully, and Old Ten had always had the best relationship with Ruoxi, and the two of them had also passed on gossip, but the Emperor did not look up to Old Ten and felt that Ruoxi was not a match for him.
The fourth elder, the city government is too deep, there are wives and concubines early, the two are not matched in age, and the emperor did not look favorably on the fourth elder at first.
The eighth old man has his own team, is too sharp, and covets the position of prince.
In the long run, the emperor hated Lao Ba, and would not make Lao Ba the prince, and the future of Lao Ba was difficult to predict, and there were already Ruolan and Minghui around him, and it was not appropriate for Ruoxi to promise him again.
Fourteen, young and vigorous, the same age as Ruoxi, the relationship with Ruoxi on weekdays is good, when Ruoxi intercedes for thirteen, the other brothers are avoiding suspicion, afraid of affecting themselves, only fourteen dare to intercede for Ruoxi, kneeling outside in the rain together.
And although fourteen has an impulsive personality, he is brave and commendable, and the fourteen in the early stage only wanted to support the starlings to ascend to the throne, but they did not expect that the starlings were abandoned by the emperor and had the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
The emperor likes fourteen, and also has the heart to make him the crown prince, if ruoxi is pointed to fourteen, the two people are of the right age and personality, and ruoxi will be a concubine in the future, and the future will not be bad.
Moreover, with the temperament of fourteen, he would definitely be good to Ruoxi, and there was no doubt about this. Therefore, the emperor thought about it, and only then did he want to point out Ruoxi to The Fourteenth, completely from the perspective of his father to choose a husband for Ruoxi.
However, at that time, Ruoxi only had the fourth elder in his heart, and for the sake of that obsession in his heart, he was willing to disobey the emperor and failed to live up to the emperor's good intentions.
Thinking about it now, the emperor's chaotic point of the Mandarin Duck Spectrum was actually of great significance, and Ruoxi had to obey this will at that time and marry Fourteen early, and perhaps there was not so much tossing later.
3. Min Min's marriage is not as perfect as it seems
Min Min is a little princess on the grassland, innocent and lively, she likes the thirteenth master and wants to marry him, but because of the persuasion of everyone, she let go of her obsession and instead married Saeha, who loves herself.
In the original book, it is described as follows, after Min Min and Ruoxi separated, wrote a letter to her, saying that Sa Ying chased after him every day, and at first felt very irritable.
But as time went on, Zuo Ying accommodated her everywhere, and it was inevitable that he would be moved, so they were naturally together.
After marriage, Zuo Ying treated her very well, and everything came first with her, which melted Min Min's heart, and Min Min also felt that he had found the right person and indulged in happiness.
As everyone knows, this Sahawk is actually approaching Min Min for the sake of power, and the purpose behind this is not simple.
But the good thing is that in the decades after marrying Min Min, Zuo Ying is still the same for Min Min, although he is greedy for power, but he also really likes Min Min.
The two people love each other and live happily in the grassland, and Min Min marries Zuo Ying, which is really a good choice.
If you insist on marrying Thirteen, perhaps the second half of your life will only be miserable and miserable, after all, Thirteen does not like her, for her affection, will not be careful, do not make min min will live to become a second Minghui.
This point, Ruoxi already knew, she never mentioned it to Min Min, but then Min Min's letter made her see the happiness of Min Min's life, and naturally there was no need to uncover this secret.
In the book, it is written that Min Min's son married Thirteen's daughter Seung-hsien, and thirteen and Min Min's failure to be together is a regret in Min Min's heart, but their children are together, and from this point of view, it also fulfills Min Min's love for Thirteen's life.
Write at the end:
"Step by Step" in my heart, is a very high-quality cross-over drama, after being broadcast 10 years ago, the domestic response was very good, and later, South Korea also remade "Step by Step" thriller. Li", although there are great changes in the plot and setting, it is still very good.
And now, if you read the original book carefully, you will find that there are actually many details worth pondering.
Do you think so?
