I have to admire Kong Xiaozhen's vision of choosing dramas
From "The Sun of the Lord" to "The Producer" to "The Embodiment of Jealousy"
There is also "It's Okay, It's Love" with Zhao Yincheng... So many dramas in recent years, every department is on fire, really ratings queen!
The rating of "Camellia Blossoms", which has just finalized, also reached 23.8%, breaking its own highest rating and setting a record for the highest rating of this year's Korean drama golden file
Titled "Best Korean Drama of the Year" by netizens, this film is written by Lin Shangchun, a screenwriter of "The Road of Third Stream", and contains a variety of elements such as comedy, love, and suspense
The opening made a deep impression on Bajie. A murder case begins, and the deceased points to the heroine Dong Bai (Kong Xiaozhen)
So, the heroine died?
However, the picture quickly shifts back to the past
Dongbai moved to the small town of Yongshan with his newborn son, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone who lived there with a very different beauty
All men are: stunned .jpg
The female compatriots said sourly:
"Is she pretty?" "Great place to stay"
When they saw Dongbai take off the stroller from the car, the women present obviously relaxed their vigilance, showed a reassuring smile, and began to think that Dongbai was beautiful
After knowing that Dongbai was an unmarried mother, the hypocritical politeness disappeared, and then because dongbai camellia tavern business was very good, he began to speculate for no reason
Every time the aunts took the opportunity to tease her in front of everyone whether she had any "special means"
Dongbai's life is not going well, but fortunately, there is an aunt (the male mother), because she is a single mother who can understand Dongbai's situation very well, and is the only good friend of Dongbai in Yongshan
Auntie's son, Huang Longshi (Jiang Hena), is a righteous young man with a body more flexible than his brain, who is straight and simple, and inexplicably exudes the local charm of human beauty
As his mother said, "Long Zhi's life is a war against crime":
Motorcycle thieves can also be caught on a small poop on the ground;
Sending a courier can also intercept robbers;
Driving a taxi can also happen to see thieves;
Every time, he caught the criminals by accident, and finally because he received too many awards, he also became a patrol officer
I also did not expect that Ryu-sik, a patrol officer who was originally clamoring to marry a Seoul woman, fell in love at first sight when he saw Dongbai
After liking Dongbai, Long Zhi did not twist at all, and very frankly said to her that I like you, and I also had to send Dongbai to and from work every day
Also because his liking is very pure, there are too many straight balls, and he is blocked by Dongbai with "ghosts are ideal types", And Long Zhi silently bows his head, "How can people win ghosts?"
But in fact, the male protagonist, who has a strawberry flavor and iron, is really quite suitable for the female protagonist who is weak on the surface and firm in his heart:
He will silently protect Dongbai and help her recover the money of the guest Lai Pi on credit;
Will be obliged to help her paint the storefront;
When Dongbai was pestered by unscrupulous reporters, he also stepped forward;
When the whole town was saying "Dongbai seduced Longzhi", he directly declared "It is Dongbai who was seduced by Huang Longzhi"
Even Dongbai's son was taken care of obediently
But "When the Camellia Blossoms" wants to tell more than just a story about how single mothers are strong in life
There are also stories of ordinary people holding hands with each other to resist despair and pain, thus becoming each other's miracles
The tavern clerk, Kami, always steals beer and steals things that Dongbai doesn't want, but Dongbai never blames Kami, and they rely on each other
Although dongbai did not get the warm embrace of her family in the six years she had lived in Yongshan, she also spent an unforgettable day with her son here
Although the aunts here ostracize her, they always ask her to come to the house to get kimchi, and they will shout at her on the street, "Hey, when are you coming to get kimchi!" ”
When Dongbai encounters problems and prepares to move, he will send her cartons and things
This also made Dongbai gradually feel that Yongshan had a sense of home, and everyone was like "family", "Not very kind, but inexplicable... Exceptionally warm"
When hungry, they can go to anyone's house to eat, and they will naturally put an extra spoon, which seems unimaginable in other places
In the process, Dongbai survived as an eyewitness to a serial murder
Over the years, the real murderer has been lurking by Dongbai's side, but it is not her who dies, but her dearest sister Kami
It is also because of this "Xiangmei murder case" that these neighbors who talk every day spontaneously organized the "Dongbai Guardian Organization" to ensure the safety of Dongbai
In this way, for the first time, the "Camellia Tavern" that has been open for so many years is full of women, who pretend that they are just here to chat, but in fact, they are secretly protecting Dongbai
Even the lawyer sister, who once spoke ill of each other, finally broke her heart for Dongbai:
"You have suffered a lot of losses because of rumors, and now you can enjoy a little of the blessings of rumors" "If someone provokes you, don't struggle, bite back"
Love, friendship, affection, human affection, in this small town that is not seoul, people continue to be determined, constantly transformed, and growing
It was because of this that Dongbai came to a new world and began to find that his side was no longer empty
The silly Ryuji, the strong and brave Dongbai, the adult-like Bow Jiu, and the neighbors who usually hate the heroine but come forward at a critical moment
In them, we can see that the world is still worthy of our love
As stated in the finale:
"Happiness should not be pursued, but should be experienced with the heart, standing where you are, carefully observing the surroundings, you see, there are flowers everywhere." 」
