"Juvenile Court" is a recent hit Korean drama, a total of 10 episodes, each episode is 1 hour, has been completed, Douban scored 9.0. I think the rating is well deserved.
It is said that there is nothing that Korean dramas dare not shoot, this drama revolves around juvenile delinquency, deep digging, although it is only a short 10 episodes, small in size and high in purity, no idle writing, tight rhythm, and powerful interrogation. All tragedies arise by accident and by inevitability. Does paying equal attention to punishment and guidance reduce the incidence of juvenile crime? There is no clear answer in the play, and there will be no reality, but daring to touch it is already courage, avoidance, and can never solve the problem.
I watched 10 episodes in one breath, and my mood could not be calmed for a long time, and a good drama is not only moving, but also thought-provoking. The reason why I suggest parents to take a look is to hope that parents can understand what children mean to themselves, and neither let the child become the perpetrator, nor let the child become the victim. This society, while progressing, there are also all kinds of unsafe factors, it is useless to cover your ears and steal the bell, I have written many articles on safety before, hoping to play a role in reminding, whether it is a young child or an adult world, this is a fact, with the corresponding knowledge, in order to protect themselves and their families.
Female protagonist Shen Enxi, the son was 5 years old by two 11-year-old children thrown bricks from the high-rise building, unfortunately died, due to young and first-time offenders, the two children did not get any punishment, and the heroine because of the loss of her son's pain, resulting in divorce, single-mindedly on the work, she chose the juvenile court work, although in the process of dealing with law-related teenagers is very cold, but her sense of mission and strength always overflows off the screen, she not only dares to face crime, but also dares to face the powerful, even if it is her own boss, when breaking the law, She will not tolerate it, and that indomitable spirit is really touching.
At the same time, the resolute eyes that can kill will also soften at some times, and they will also be silent and wet with tears; the hands that forcefully grasp the murderous girl will also gently make a bento, hoping to give the victim's family a little comfort. In the face of public opinion pressure, there is no flinching, but that kind of sharpness, not bluff, is the belief and strength of the crushing. Faced with the minister's rant, she asked, "What the hell am I doing wrong?" "Leave the minister speechless. With Kim Hye-so's acting skills and the vision of choosing a script, this drama is worth chasing.
In contrast and support, it is Judge Che played by Jin Wulie. There was always a warm smile on his face, and he spoke politely, and at first he felt bored, but he slowly discovered that this was also a kind of strength, a complementary force with the hardened Judge Shen. Judge Shen's coldness is not acceptable to everyone, so it can form a public opinion controversy, while Judge Che's warmth may not be able to highlight the sanctions of the law, and the two people, one left and one right, one rigid and one soft, can form an excellent match.
Shen Che and the two judges are both people with wounds but still strong lives. The minister played by Lee Seung-min has a grumpy personality, yells at every turn, but also has his own personality charm, and like Kim Hye-so, Lee Seung-min is also a magical actor, they will make every role full of layers, vivid and vivid, expressions, actions, lines are firmly grasped the audience's heart, a second into the play.
Some of the cases in the play come from real cases, such as the prototype of the first case is the Incheon girl murder case in 2017, and the underage high school student who brutally killed the girl was only sentenced to 20 years, and she did not repent after being arrested, but said lightly: "The weather is so good, but I can't see the cherry blossoms, which makes me feel sad." ”
The Korean drama "Snooping" also originates from this real case, but it explores whether genes determine crime. Juvenile Court explores more family and social factors. In the play, the acting skills of the two juvenile delinquents are very good, and the scalp of the people is numb. Bai Chengyou's mother is a repulsive character, and at the end of the episode, she sees the blood on the floor of her house, as if she has just woken up to the fact that the murder occurred in her own home, and kneels down to apologize, but she can't arouse my sympathy.
Many people are numb to the lives of others, which is the evil hidden deep in human nature, and behind juvenile delinquency is the influence of the adult world. Children are cute, but not every child is like this, and the deep problems revealed in Juvenile Court are not only present in Korean and East Asian societies.
As mentioned in the play, children cannot grow up alone, and in the period from birth to adulthood, they will be affected by many aspects, especially the influence of the original family.
Direct guidance from parents is extremely important for children, problem teenagers, often because of insufficient love or excessive doting of parents, as parents to recognize this fact, give children love, tolerance, correct guidance, including self-protection.
In the fifth episode of the fourth episode, the director of the recovery center entrusted by the court cares for the children of the center, but his children feel that they have been snubbed and have a grudge, almost causing a catastrophe, this phenomenon of black under the lights, after Shen Enxi reminded, the director also realized that the mother and daughter deliberately repaired the relationship and restored intimacy, this plot is really good. It is okay to save people, but you should not sacrifice yourself, otherwise, you will also gain more than you lose.
Like a scalpel, Juvenile Court ruthlessly cuts the wound, but at the same time there is no lack of warmth, because the law cannot solve all the problems, and the deep roots of society need to be confronted in order to be treated.
Nowadays, although many parents have children, their minds are not mature. What a child is a seed will become in the future is closely related to the education of parents. In terms of children's education, a large amount of knowledge is needed, including understanding the dark side of society. Dramas such as "Juvenile Court" can become teaching materials for images.
Because the pointing question is too sharp, watching this show is indeed not a pleasant process. Many parents are more likely to empathize, because in the play, parents face the pressure of their children's grades and further education, it can be said that it is worldwide, although Minister Jiang is an excellent legal worker, but in his own family, he is a tyrannical father, in order to win the affirmation of his father, Xinyu is like walking on thin ice, when Xinyu throws himself into the traffic, I think, I can understand Xinyu's mood.
Minister Jiang in order to achieve the goal he has been working towards for 22 years - the revision of the "Juvenile Law" - did not hesitate to abandon the creed, chose to conceal, and even tried to carry out an unfair trial, Shen Enxi's approach seems to be unkind, but it is the right way to pull him back from the evil road, when Shen Enxi asked Minister Jiang: "How can the laws that are amended for the sake of children trample on the children to revise it?" ”
Minister Jiang could not answer.
When Judge Che bid farewell to Minister Jiang, Minister Jiang said that the day Judge Che reported to him, he had already recognized him as the wrong teenager he had guided himself: "I am very grateful, thank you for being such an excellent adult." ”
It brings tears to people's eyes. There is a similar plot in "Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghosts": Grandma Sanshen visits euphoria with a bouquet of flowers on the day of Eun Seol's graduation, congratulates her on graduation, and to the teacher who once bullied Eun Seol, she says, "Child, you are a teacher, can't you do better?" ”
Grandma Sanshen blessed every child who was born, and the birth of every child made her feel happy, and she would be happier to become an excellent adult. And the one who couldn't do better let her down. In the rebuke of Grandma Sanshen, the teacher could not help but cry bitterly, which also represented that she still had a reflective heart.
In "Juvenile Court", Minister Jiang is not a villain, he is a plump and three-dimensional image, an excellent judge, and a failed father. When Eun Seok accepts it because he knowingly did not recuse himself from Hwang In-joon's case
Because of this three-dimensional sense, it is more touching.
Juvenile delinquency and crime are extremely complex social problems, and there may be no way to root them out, but facing and reflecting, guiding and educating will eventually reduce sin and harm.
I highly recommend this drama and suggest that you watch it when you have time, this 10-hour investment is far more meaningful than brushing up fragmented short videos.
