Preamble:
Recently, a TV series "My ID is Gangnam" broadcast by South Korea's tvN TV can be said to be a double harvest of ratings and word-of-mouth, especially the three heroines in the play have different images, but they all have their own strength and independence, which is deeply loved by the audience.
Xiaozhen is a very traditional woman in the play, she endured her husband's affair 13 times after marriage, but still chose to forgive and face it strongly, which has also won the appreciation of many audiences.
Pei Zhen is a very modern and independent female image, she resolves the embarrassment of the identity of "pseudo-single parent" in the play, and also has a very deep understanding of the growth of children, showing a different way of growing up from traditional families.
And the most moving thing for the audience is the protagonist in the play, Kim Ji-young, who has lived in a poor environment since she was a child, but still maintains an optimistic and kind character, until she married a rich second-generation husband when she grew up and began a life of "fine clothes and fine food".
However, just when the outside world thought she was very lucky, Kim Ji-young fell into the prison of her marriage, not only being defaulted to being a "parasite", but also taking on heavy parenting responsibilities, and finally her suppressed emotions caused her to fall into mental illness.
In order to find herself, Kim Ji-young even needs to incarnate into the image of other women around her in order to bravely speak out about the injustice and injustice in her heart.
Such a plot design also allows the audience to see the plight and pain faced by many women in real life, and people can't help but feel distressed and helpless for what happened to them.
1. Kim Ji-young's upbringing
In fact, Kim Ji-young is not a different woman, her upbringing can be said to be very ordinary, and can even be described as "miserable".
In the flashback in the play, the audience can clearly see that Kim Ji-young has lived in a poor village since she was a child, and after her parents died, she and her sister lived a difficult life.
And this kind of life did not make Kim Ji-young pessimistic and negative, on the contrary, she still maintained an optimistic and kind character, won excellent results with her own efforts and perseverance, and was successfully admitted to a prestigious university.
It can be said that Kim Ji-young's life is actually not too bad, at least before she met her husband, she already had her own dreams and goals, and she is also working hard to run towards her own life.
However, an unexpected encounter turned Kim Ji-young's life completely upside down, she not only gave up her job, but also married her rich second-generation boyfriend and started a life of "fine clothes and fine food".
Perhaps, such a life is the greatest happiness for others, but for Kim Ji-young, it is the beginning of the journey of marriage imprisonment.
2. Life after marriage
In her married life, Kim Ji-young can almost be described as a "parasite", because she has never made any plans and plans for her life and future, and is completely dependent on her husband's economic support.
And this state also makes the outside world full of prejudice and misunderstanding about her, thinking that she is a "parasite" with no future, and even her mother-in-law is very dissatisfied with her, thinking that she is "eating soft rice".
Perhaps in order to prove that she is not an incompetent and immoral person, Kim Ji-young began to take on the burden of parenting, but such a change was actually very difficult and painful for her.
After all, she was not born a "good mother" and also needed to adapt and learn, but the pressure and criticism from the outside world made her unable to face her heart truthfully, and in the end, such depression and contradictions made her fall into mental illness.
Perhaps, such a plot arrangement can let the audience see that marriage is not a simple thing for women, more often, they need to give up their dreams and lives to adapt and accommodate others, even the strongest people will lose themselves in it.
3. The courage to become a "pseudo-single parent".
However, even under the shadow of illness, Kim Ji-young still did not give up on himself, but bravely spoke his inner words by incarnating the image of a "pseudo-single parent".
Perhaps, such an approach is not incredible to the outside world, and even thinks that she has completely "gone crazy", but such courage and persistence have actually inspired many people.
By incarnating the image of other women, Kim Ji-young can face her inner world more truly and directly, and also allow the outside world to know and understand her from another perspective, and this practice ultimately allows her to get more love and support.
Perhaps, such a plot design also gives some inspiration to female friends in real life, when they face pressure and difficulties, they should not choose to escape and give up, but learn to face bravely and find a suitable life exit.
At the same time, I also hope that the society can give more care and understanding, and not give any discrimination and prejudice because of their gender, every woman should have the right to pursue her own happiness and dreams, and also deserve the same opportunities and respect.
Epilogue:
Through the TV series "My ID is Gangnam", the audience can not only enjoy the wonderful plot and acting skills, but also learn a lot of life principles and insights from it.
Whether it is Kim Ji-young, Xiaozhen or Pei Zhen, their performance in the play can give some inspiration and help to female friends in real life, so that they can understand that no matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, they must believe in themselves and bravely pursue their happiness and dreams.
At the same time, I also hope that every female friend can become the protagonist of her own life, do not be limited by anything, bravely break through and create, and live a true and independent self.
