Since opening Instagram, Kong Liu has shared his unpretentious daily life with fans from time to time, such as squid, ball games, slippers, and the dramas he is chasing.
Following the last post of "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" starring Nam Joo-hyuk, a descendant of the same company, Kong Liu posted two posts about the Korean drama "My Departure Diary" at 3:00 a.m. on April 18 and 19 (Korean time), and also wrote down the lines in the play: "Adore you" and "Ratings?" Don't long, give it to me like a warrior, and let love explode!" The degree of fascination is like seeing yourself in the pit!
"My Diary of a Runaway" is a healing Korean drama jointly created by director Kim Seok-yoon of "Dazzling" and screenwriter Park Hae-young of "My Uncle", which tells the story of the three sisters and brothers, Lian Ji-jin (Lee Yi-gi), Yeon Chang-hee (Lee Min-gi) and Lian Mi-jeong (Kim Ji-won), who live in Gyeonggi Province, who want to get rid of their current tired life, and carve a resonant and warm story with the mysterious outsider Gu Shi (Sun Seok-joo), who helps with farming at home.
However, after the show began broadcasting on April 9, the highest rating was only 3%, and by the fourth episode, it dropped to 2.3%, and the Korean network also had bipolar evaluations, some people praised it as resonant and more like a literary work, and some people thought it was boring and too dark. So what is the magic of "My Departure Diary" that makes the male god stay up late and chase the drama without sleep?
The story of "My Departure Diary" focuses on the story of the three sisters and brothers at work, love and affection, and the beginning brings out the three people who work in Seoul and live in Gyeonggi Province, which takes an hour to commute, so they lose the opportunity to participate in social activities after work, and the second brother, Lian Changxi, even broke up with his girlfriend.
On the way to and from work, looking at the advertising signs that greet them makes them wonder whether they should continue to maintain the status quo, or really move to Seoul to make life more meaningful.
This setting background caused a hot discussion on the Korean Internet, and many netizens living in the suburbs said: "I am also a Gyeonggi-do, I hate to go to Seoul, the way to seoul is too difficult", "I live in Bucheon, the resonance is there", "As long as people who live in Gyeonggi-do will have resonance, every time I see Seoul friends, they must pay attention to the last train", "I live in Namyangyang, I suddenly feel sad, every time I go to Seoul to take the subway for more than an hour", "I live in Suwon, this film suddenly attracted me", "People living in Seoul definitely don't want to come to us." and other comments.
For example, When Lian Jizhen asked his brother Lian Changxi why he broke up with his girlfriend, he said: "I saw her eyes, just like saying that this guy is really ordinary, it should be because I watched the movie myself, rather than being found out that I am not good enough and then break up."
There is also Lian Meizhen's confession on the subway, which also makes people reflect, "All interpersonal relationships are like work, every moment of waking is working, nothing happens, and no one likes me." 」
"My Departure Diary" is also good at telling stories with lenses, and Gu Shi, played by Sun Xijiu, has many close-ups of his back. Because he was a worker from outside the country to help the lian family with agricultural work, no one knew his past, every time the villagers passed by, they only saw Gu Shi alone drinking outside the house in a daze, and Gu Shi himself was silent and taciturn, and did not like to accept people's kindness, always like a hedgehog with the armor on his back to defend himself, through many back pictures, more can convey his sense of alienation to the audience.
After the series was broadcast, some netizens praised it: "This drama is more like a literary work, very good to watch", "This drama is resonant", "I think it is very good, curious about the role of Gu Shi", "Originally this screenwriter's drama is very sad, I still like to watch it all together", "It's very good, I hope the ratings will rise tomorrow", "Although it is niche, I think there is still such a drama".
There are also other groups of people who hold objections: "Don't say it's good or not, the atmosphere is too dark and not too attractive", "The lines are very contrived, the protagonists are self-pitying", "The narration of this drama is too realistic to watch", "I feel that the TV station has lost its feeling", "The actors are not attractive", etc.
