Pure Love Korean drama has been killing crazy recently!
Although the ending of "Queen of Tears" was "crazy", she still successfully set a new record for the ratings on the T runway with her excellent performance of "Double Gold". The small production drama "Running with Shanzai on Your Back" on the same stage can be called the biggest "dark horse" in April, and the current Douban score has climbed amazingly to 9.1.
In the face of such an excellent reputation of "Running with Good Jae on Your Back" in the mainland, some people sighed that "Koreans are good at filming youth and pure love, and go to KSWL in both directions!", and some people think that "the routines are not new, the actors are very popular, and the tolerance for Korean dramas is not too high." ”
At the same time, because the show focuses on loyal fans traveling through time and space to save depressed idols and develop romantic love, it has also attracted some discussions about "whether the star-chasing girl is ruthless empathy or breaking the defense".
To evaluate "Running with Good Slaughter on Your Back", you might as well start with these controversies.
Douban 9.1, inflated?
Douban users have always had a "preference" for overseas dramas, and the score of "Running with Good Slaughter on Your Back" is somewhat haloed. At present, the number of people scoring it is just over 20,000, and the recognition of high reputation is relatively limited.
However, more than 88% of the scorers gave a four-star or higher praise, and the repeated hot searches on social media are enough to show that the show does not have much "moisture", at least the first eight episodes are the best in the genre drama.
Affectionately called "Little Back Run" by mainland netizens, what is its charm?
The audience who entered the pit "Running with Good Slaughter on Their Back" probably has a "really fragrant" process. The male and female protagonists Kim Hye-yoon and Byun Woo-seok are not popular actors, and their appearance is not outstanding in the entertainment industry, which makes this drama lack the attraction of "seeing Fengjin". But if you click on it, it is easy to stop by the performance, plot setting and lens aesthetics of the two.
In the play, the popular star Yoo Sun-jae (played by Byun Woo-seok) came to the news that he had committed suicide, and loyal fan Lim Su-so (played by Kim Hye-yoon) unexpectedly got three opportunities to reverse his fate. When 34-year-old Lim Sui met 19-year-old Yoo Sun-jae with her 19-year-old body, she started a series of actions to save her idol with the psychology of fans. However, in the eyes of the other party, it was the girl next door who had a crush on him who took the initiative to rush to him.
Based on the original novel "Tomorrow's First", screenwriter Li Shien filled in the image of the heroine more independently and fully. For example, in the initial timeline of the drama version, Lin Su's legs were disabled in a car accident when she was 19 years old, which is an extremely painful regret for herself, her family, and Yoo Sun-jae. Back in the past, she is also trying her best to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of disability, and she can also protect her family with a mature and inclusive attitude.
The 15 years of being trapped in a wheelchair were cheered up by Yoo Sun-jae's encouragement, which made her determination to save her idol more reasonable, and the exuberant vitality she carried was also particularly bright.
Lin Rate must be as bright as the sun, with the courage that may be reckless but full of momentum, the pain of experiencing all the misfortunes, and the sadness and joy of knowing the "aftermath of the catastrophe" alone. The actor Kim Hye-yoon has a high degree of completion, and she has previously won major newcomer awards in Korea for starring in "A Day of Accidental Discovery", participating in "Castle in the Sky", "Snowdrop" and other dramas. Her acting skills are already trustworthy, and this time she has returned to the comfort zone of a fresh and energetic role, and she has conquered the audience with her acting skills as always.
Compared with the dazzling star status, the male protagonist is more pleasing to the "innocent puppy" character. At the age of 19, he suddenly gained the love of a crush girl, and Yoo Sun-jae, who was always secretly excited, was named "Brother Dark Shuang". Lin Rate's attitude was capricious, he didn't know if it was because of the crossing, but even if he felt lost, he didn't lose his love.
After 15 years of being rejected contact, the male protagonist still misses the female protagonist. As soon as they reunited, they automatically took the bait, and the "Love Brain" star quickly fell in love. The appearance of the actor Byun Woo-seok also complements the character, wearing a simple shirt and T-shirt, he is a high school student who has just come out of the campus. At 1.9 meters, he also formed the cutest height difference with Kim Hye-yoon, and the two of them were equally youthful and invincible, with a strong sense of CP.
In the eight episodes that have been updated so far, the heroine has completed two crossings, and the plot is developing step by step.
The first time he crossed over, he first let Lin Shu accept the fact of crossing and establish a bond with Yoo Sun-jae, who has not yet become a big star. She nervously tried to change the trajectory of her fate, and then returned to the future to really find the existence of subtle changes, so she strengthened her determination to save her idol and herself.
In the second crossing, Lin Yu changed his disabled and Yoo Sun-jae's depressed future, but still did not completely reverse the fate of the latter's death. The audience from God's perspective already knows the real reason why the male protagonist fell from the building in the initial timeline and the car accident when the female protagonist was maliciously hit. Therefore, the third crossing that is about to start should really reverse fate, so that time will finally form a complete closed loop, and this two-way redemption of fateful love will be fulfilled.
Although it is in the track of "brainless sweet drama", "Running with Shanzai on Your Back" actually handles the details and logic very well.
In the staggered time and space, this drama has designed many details that echo each other. For example, the male and female protagonists have held umbrellas for each other many times and mints that can prove that the male protagonist has always loved the female protagonist, etc., coupled with the delicate shooting techniques, which effectively increases the sense of atmosphere and fate.
In terms of logic, "Running with Shanzai on Your Back" also thinks about some practical issues involved in the crossing setting. For example, misfortune may happen in the future, so should we stick to the choice of the current love?The male protagonist regards swimming as an ideal,So in the face of the female owner's advice, he still chooses to swim with all his might;The butterfly effect makes the future of the female owner's best friend also change,The female owner before the last crossing thought about pulling her girlfriend back to the original track,But the other party told her instead,There are gains and losses in life at the moment,It may not be the best result。
On the whole, the story of "Running with Shanzai on Your Back" has a sense of "I Want to See You" + "Twinkle and Twinkle Star". In comparison, the suspense line of this drama is not brain-burning, but the comedy effect is better. is also a word-of-mouth dark horse drama that is deeply loved by mainland netizens, and they are enough to prove that pure love dramas that collect fantasy, comedy, and suspense elements still have a considerable market worth excavating. At the same time, as long as the genre can be taken to the extreme, even if the content is not fresh enough, the target audience will often be happy to buy it.
"Idol" drama, dream-making or dream-breaking?
"Running with Shanzai on your back" is equivalent to "taking away Shanjae" in the context of star-chasing in internal entertainment, and it expresses the special theme and story line of this drama in a pun.
Idol dramas that set the protagonist's profession as an idol and stepping on the sensitive point of the idol's professional ethics will more or less cause some controversy. The previous "My Neighbor is EXO" and "So...... Married to Black Fans", "My Goddess Roommate Douna", and now "Running with Seonjae on Your Back" are all like this.
However, until now, the vast majority of viewers will not mind this when "Running with Good Slaughter on Your Back" has been broadcast. In the latest plot, 34-year-old Lin Yu and Yoo Sun-jae confessed their hearts and confirmed their relationship. For this reason, "Running with Shanzai on the Shoulders of Fans" also appeared on the hot search on Weibo. A marketing account asked, won't watching this drama break the defense from the perspective of fans?
Someone said, "As a person who has just been stabbed in the back by the former love, the perception is really sweet and sour." Some people also think, "Laughing to death, but also substituting idols, there is no such thing as a man like Shanzai in the world." Someone else clarified, "The male protagonist is set to be the lead singer of the band + actor, and he is also 34 years old, what's wrong with falling in love." Specifically, most netizens hold the latter two views.
In fact, the reason why this drama can retreat on sensitive topics is mainly because it can grasp the scale.
It's taboo for idols to fall in love, but who wouldn't want to fall in love with their natal life? Even if you don't chase stars, it's worth thinking about falling in love with a big star. It can be said that the "idol" drama itself is a genre worth creating.
The ingenuity of "Running with Good Slaughter on Your Back" is that, on the one hand, the character of the male protagonist is set up very well. Yoo Sun-jae only liked the heroine alone in his life, and waited silently for each other for 15 years, and the two did not achieve positive results until they were 34 years old. This juncture is also when he is about to change his career as an actor. In other words, he was extremely clean during his time as an idol. Compared with all kinds of idol house collapse tragedies in reality, Yoo Sun-jae's "innocent puppy" is really likable, and it will only make the dream girl better to substitute.
On the other hand, the male protagonist is not from an idol background, so the love scene will not make his fans or other star-chasing women feel blocked. If the actor is an idol in reality, the situation will be different. For example, "So...... married to a black fan", from the identity of the leading actor Park Chanyeol's active idol at the time, to the plot of the setting that a big star and "black fan" Yuji secretly fell in love, it seems more sensitive.
is also a romantic fantasy about falling in love with an idol, "My Goddess Roommate Doona" has a mediocre reputation. The trigger point of the bad review is the problem of the separation of the plot and the character, and the reason why the male protagonist Liang Shizong, who likes to mention the "fermented" face, cannot match the beautiful Pei Xiuzhi. Whether this kind of drama can be recognized by the audience is still affected by many factors.
Interestingly, the Times Youth League recently released a new album, and the MV for the song "Those Things I Haven't Said" caused controversy among fans after it was released. In this MV, the seven teenagers of the Shi Tuan performed the story of having a crush on the same girl. It was a very good plan, but I didn't expect it to make some fans feel a kind of anger of "spending money to be a junior".
In the album title song "Bite Me" released by the South Korean boy group enhypen last year, there was a dance performance in which the members and female backup dancers were more intimate. Their fans also expressed their displeasure and asked the agency to revise the dance.
Although "Those Things I Haven't Said" and "Bite Me" are not film and television dramas, they are undoubtedly the scope of artistic creation. One of the main reasons why fans feel that they have broken their defenses may be because of bad associations with reality. For example, the girl who cooperated with Shi Tuan is named He Meiqi, who is Times Fengjun's own artist, and served as the heroine in the early music videos of TFBOYS's "Magic Castle" and "Love Departure". As a result, some fans will be worried about their private relationships.
Compared with "Running with Good Slaughter on Your Back", the key to these two incidents is that they are "fan-limited products", so they will inevitably have to face the judgment of sensitive fans.
It is worth noting that "Running with the Good Slaughter on Your Back" is not careless in its interpretation of this special theme.
In the story, the mouth of the male protagonist's teammates leads to the question of "whether the fan's love for the idol is equivalent to love", and then makes it clear that the female protagonist's feelings for the male protagonist have undergone a psychological transformation from "fan love" to "girlfriend love". There are also a lot of plots in the play that can make the star-chasing woman empathize fiercely, from the female protagonist zooming in to see the male protagonist's stage photos, setting up the male protagonist to be suspected of depression and suicide, the female protagonist's mother-fan mentality of letting the male protagonist eat well, and the female protagonist's murderous eyes on the male protagonist's teammates, etc., all make the barrage shout "Isn't this what I look like chasing stars".
And the time traveled back to the past is designed to be 2008, which also echoes the history of Korean entertainment. From 2007 to 2010, it was the glorious period of K-POP's "second generation group", and TVXQ, SS501, Super Junior, Big Bang, Girls' Generation, and KARA all debuted during this period. The production team also specially invited Girls' Generation member Kwon Yu-ri and KARA member Han Seung-yeon to make cameo appearances, which was a surprise.
It can be seen that there are many details that need to be paid attention to to whether making an idol "fall in love" is a dream or a broken dream, and the level of creation still determines the final fate.
