It is often said that when a person is most attractive, it is when he is focused on doing one thing seriously, and in the latest updated costume mythological drama "Mirrors and Twin Cities", I finally saw this charm.
As a fatalistic tragedy about the love between The Emperor Su G (Li Yifeng) and Bai Ying (Chen Yuqi), the White King of Kongsang, who love each other but cannot keep each other, "Mirror · Twin Cities" can be regarded as playing with sadomasochism clearly.
Su G and Bai Ying fell in love with each other a hundred years ago, but they couldn't help themselves. In the end, in order to protect the country that encountered the war and the family members who were about to suffer because of her, Bai Ying jumped off the mirror tower in front of Su G in an attempt to end her life, and also warned Su G to forget this evil relationship.
At that time, Bai Ying was not yet the White King of Khlong Sang, Su G was not yet the Sea Emperor of the QuanXian people, and the Khlong Sang people were still enslaving and insulting the Quan Xian people.
Su G was not guarded on the snowy mountain, thinking alone of his "deceased" lover. Subsequently, he traveled alone on the mainland, learning a strong spell, but always dreaming of her in the middle of the night... After a hundred years, Su G finally recognized the identity of the sea emperor and decided to return to the Cloud Wasteland to lead the fish people to fight against the enemy, and then return to the sealed hometown of Biluohai as soon as possible.
Just then, he met Bai Ying... It turned out that after jumping off the tower that year, she was saved by the Houtu Ring, and when she returned to Khlong Sang to succeed the White King, Khlong Sang had been broken by the vicissitudes.
In order to protect the Khlong Sang people, the Six Kings of Khlong Sang sacrificed their spiritual consciousness to open the Colorless City. For the next hundred years, the six kings of Kongsang could no longer see the daylight, and could only walk in the moonlight.
In this context, the encounter between Bai Ying and Su G is not as sweet as imagined. No matter how Su G expressed his intentions, Bai Ying always turned his back and did not dare to look into his eyes, and then fiercely refused.
In her heart, she was ashamed of the people of Khlong Sang, and she had the responsibility to fight against the vicissitudes, expel them, and take back the homeland that belonged to Khlong Sang.
At this time, although Su G very much wanted to accompany Bai Ying to protect her and compensate her, he couldn't... Because he is the Sea Emperor, he is the hope of many innocent people, and there are many enslaved and abused Quan Xian people, waiting for the return of the Sea Emperor to save them, and still looking forward to returning to their homeland after seven thousand years.
Two people who love each other, but because of this burden of fate, they have to keep their distance.
You see, when Bai Ying said that she was looking for Su G, su G's happy smile at the corner of her mouth could not be covered.
And when Su G was rejected by Bai Ying for the Nth time, he had no choice but to walk out of the door, but he still showed his heart before leaving:
"I know we all have very important things to accomplish. But I still want to tell you that I look forward to every reunion we have. ”
Although the plot is tortuous and tragic, I am really touched - Su G, who distinguishes between public and private, and puts others before himself, is really a clear stream of existence in the current costume drama male protagonist.
Different from the previous idol dramas or sweet pet dramas "Love First" plot section, "Mirrors • Twin Cities" presents a grand myth full of oriental traditional aesthetics.
Each character in the play has its own personality, but in the torrent of that era background, they all have to endure sacrifices and can't help themselves.
It seems that everyone is highly skilled, but even the moment of indulging in the private affairs of their children is not allowed to have, because there are countless other people who need to be taken care of... In the past, Fan Zhongyan said that "the world is worried and worried before the world, and the world is happy and happy after the world", which is the truth, right?
In addition to the male and female protagonists in the play, many supporting characters are also in this situation, such as Izumi Xianren Yanshi, who fell in love with the Zhongzhou girl Na Sheng, because he was a warrior who gave his life to Quan Xian, so he was unwilling to face his own heart and did not dare to respond to Na Sheng's liking.
Another example is the empty sang prince Zhenlan, who silently likes Bai Ying. He stayed by Bai Ying's side, doing his best to protect her. At the same time, he also has to work hard to gain strength to rescue 100,000 people of Kungsang...
It is precisely because of these flesh-and-blood characters that they can support the plot of "Mirrors and Twin Cities" that this drama has not fallen into the cliché. And it is precisely because the story is well told that when the show was broadcast simultaneously in Thailand and Vietnam, it caused a huge response.
The actors' appearance and acting skills are all online, and the patience and restraint between the characters in the play will vividly reflect the beauty and righteousness in oriental mythology. How can such a drama not be popular overseas?
We need such a good drama, and we need such a carrier to export Chinese culture overseas, and we are also looking forward to what twists and turns and thrilling stories will be in the follow-up update.
Looking forward to the update, chase the drama to the end!
