In recent years, realist Korean dramas have sprung up.
The episode reverses "Castle in the Sky" to rip off human nature filled with power and desire, and "My Uncle" pays attention to small people and life. The best Korean drama of the year in 2019, "Romantic Physique", truly records the work and love problems encountered by 30 generations of women.
In contrast, the recently released "Black Dog" is based on some traditions: focusing on educational themes, the protagonist is a teacher, and it is unlikely to be a wonderful story no matter how you look at it. But unexpectedly, one episode was high-energy, scoring a high score of 8.7.
The story begins with a school trip in 2007. Because of her foot injury, Gao Hena did not have time to leave the bus that was about to explode. At a critical moment, the contract teacher in the class rushed to the car to save Herna, and exchanged her life for Herna's safety.
Because they are contract teachers, the family members do not receive compensation "after the teacher's death". Knowing that the family has been devastated, the school is still indifferent: sorry, this is the rule.
Hona didn't understand why the school could be so cruel, and she didn't know why the teacher insisted on saving herself. In order to find the answers to these questions, Hona has no hesitation and has become a contract teacher...
There is an important concept in Black Dog. That is: the difference between a staffing teacher and a contract teacher. The former can enjoy all the benefits that society provides to teachers, while the latter cannot.
But there are still people who are willing to become a contract teacher, because it is not easy to find a job, even if the contract teacher cannot enjoy the benefits, but at least, after hard work, there will be opportunities to become a staff teacher.
In this drama, the contract teacher Ho Na is Played by Seo Hyun-jin, who is known as one of the five major rating guarantee actresses in South Korea. Representative works include "Wu Haiying Again", "Romantic Doctor Master Jin", and "Inner Beauty". Each one makes the audience addicted.
Just after taking up her job, Hona encountered many difficult workplace problems.
Because his uncle also works in school, he is considered a relation and is coldly violently abused by other colleagues.
--------------------------------------- What is even more frightening is that the two superiors look at each other with disgust and have a tough attitude, forcing Herna to choose a line.
Although the place where the story takes place is the school, the entry point is very popular, all of which are the "workplace problems we will also encounter" in life, and unconsciously, the audience learns how to solve these workplace problems in Herna's approach.
On the other hand, there is the portrayal of the teacher in the series: setting up three distinct types, exposing all the unspoken rules in the adult world in different teachers' different working attitudes.
The first is to sacrifice one's own teacher to save the student. In the eyes of this type of teacher, students are greater than everything. They deserve the phrase "the candle turns to ashes and the tears begin to dry."
The second type is a teacher like Hona who does not have much teaching experience, but is very responsible. In order to bring students a better classroom experience, the lesson plan is densely packed with notes.
The third is the kind of teaching partner that Hona makes unreasonable trouble. In order to earn tuition fees, important knowledge points are deliberately omitted from the classroom. The mind is not on improving the level of teaching, but on the painstaking efforts to make it difficult for new colleagues to strangle all possibilities that may pose a threat to themselves in the cradle.
Three different types of teachers reflect three different outlooks on life, thus bringing the audience a lot of thoughts related to the workplace and human nature.
Most of the story scenes of this play take place in school, which gives the audience a feeling of youth. But interestingly, this is not a story of sunshine —
Almost everyone feels that the teacher is sacred, and in their hearts the student is always the first. And "Black Dog" boldly presents the dark side of the teacher's industry: colleagues will fight with each other, many teachers are related households, and they are not qualified to become teachers.
After entering the school, Herna's dream was completely shattered. She finally understood that not all teachers were like the teachers who were determined to save themselves.
At the same time, the answer that Hona was looking for finally appeared in front of the audience.
In addition to Cho hona, there is also an important role in this play. That is Park Sung-soon, the director of the school promotion department.
At first, she thought that Hona was the kind of person she hated the most who "got to power by relationship", but slowly, she discovered the tenacity in Hona and felt her determination to become a good teacher. These two characters have a lot of interesting opponent plays. It is a friendship of mutual encouragement, but also a sympathy between the same kind.
Although the story has only been updated for two episodes, the pace is no less than that of the movie. Expose the dark side of the campus and find out what the most important qualities of being a teacher are. All the important story backgrounds have been laid out, only to climax after the plot develops.
In this story, we can see the unknown hardships of the teacher group, and we can also learn some skills in the workplace. For this reason, it has also been called "a play for all professionals".
