In recent years, Taiwan dramas have been like opening and hanging, and various themes of reality, suspense, and love have blossomed. The scale is not small, and the topic is also very gimmicky, and it is praised by netizens for daring to shoot.
But the pickpocket sister wants to say that they not only dare to shoot, but also very good at shooting, and the suspense type alone has subdivided several shooting methods.
There is "Our Distance from Evil" that uses suspense cases to disassemble human nature; There is "Who is the Victim", which analyzes the problem of social structure; There is also "Imitator", which ponders the psychology of the murderer.
Recently, the Taiwan drama has taken a step forward in the suspense genre and filmed a suspense blockbuster that integrates fantasy elements, which is "Bad Obsession Cleaner".

The theme of this drama is divided into three levels, gradually progressive.
First of all, it has a strong supernatural color.
The male protagonist Pu Yiyong was originally an ordinary high school student.
An air crash suddenly came, and after the disaster, he accidentally had yin and yang eyes and could communicate with ghosts without barriers.
The director's way of dealing with his "psychic" physique is very special, and it turned out to be "ink writing psychic".
Specifically, as soon as he grinds, the spirit bodies around him seem to be awakened. Severed limbs, ghosts, skeletons, zombies will automatically move in the direction of his home.
That's nothing.
One day, the male protagonist woke up to find a zombie standing directly at the end of his bed, shouting "help me".
Seeing this, do you think that you are going to enter the mode of "unjust souls asking for their lives"?
Not really, the director added the treatment of comedy at this time.
The zombie is like an amnesiac child, unable to say a coherent word, but just want him to help himself, the two made a lot of oolong jokes.
After laughing, the real theme of the play began to show. Help the spirit body to let go of obsessions, untie the knot, and reconcile with death.
So this is actually a story of redeeming oneself in the process of helping ghosts.
For example, this zombie that fell from the sky.
Before his death, he suffered serious workplace bullying, was drugged by colleagues and caused low blood pressure, and crashed to death in a daze. But he didn't want his parents to see his miserable situation, afraid that they would be sad. That's why it turns into zombies, like headless flies, wandering the streets.
In the zombies, it reflects the stench of office politics and the importance that Chinese children attach to the concept of family. Isn't it interesting to use a zombie to deconstruct workplace and family relationships?

This drama, if you see half of it, you will find that it is actually using the tragedy of life to dig out neglected social phenomena.
After sending away the zombies, the male protagonist was entrusted to find the name of a deceased person, who was a general teacher in the hospital. But strangely, no one knows his origins.
The male protagonist had to start with the homeless man on the street and try to find useful clues. Following the clues, the male protagonist pieced together a picture of identity that burst into tears.
The experience of the deceased was very tragic, both parents died, said goodbye to school, and had no friends. He once filled his empty and lonely life by buying, buying, buying.
He also tried to participate in work dinners and even ran to stay with homeless people, but with his withdrawn personality, he was always out of place with his surroundings.
He didn't know how to integrate into the collective, and others didn't want to take the initiative to understand him, and his life went into a dead end. Going around in circles, he chose to tattoo an ancient lady on his back as a companion, so that he would not be lonely.
The infuriating thing is that the hemp rope is specially picked and broken, and bad luck is specifically looking for the bitter people. Before he began to enjoy life, he was already separated by yin and yang.
The moral of this story is obvious, calling on everyone to care for the vulnerable groups, pay attention to the psychological state of young people, and call everyone to be more humane. Only by letting love flow will society not become a big ice cellar.
At the same time, it also leads the audience to reflect, why are there more and more lonely people?
Why is it that after someone dies, no one even knows their name?
These questions raised by the director and screenwriter are all social loopholes behind them.

When you see it in the end, you will find that the focus of this drama is still the dark side of human nature. Behind every terrifying spirit body, there are stories of sorrow and joy, life and death.
They are calculated, miserable, or cornered. In the end, it became, a lonely soul and wild ghost wandering the world. When the male protagonist discovered these spirit stories, he also saw a more realistic, darker and selfish side of human nature.
In this way, the setting of this drama is a bit similar to "Soul Ferry", but the level of special effects and topic extension of "Bad Obsession Cleaner" are obviously much higher than it.
Friends who like the same theme, don't miss it, Sister Pickpocket recommends it here.
