In the past two years, due to the restriction of Korean orders, the weakness of Korean dramas themselves, the upgrading of the quality of domestic dramas, etc., the Korean Wave has become a cold wave. It is difficult to have a phenomenon-level Korean drama like a few years ago, or even a decade ago.
To say that the originator of Korean drama, in my heart, it is not "Winter Love Song". "Winter Love Song" is the second part of the KBS Four Seasons series (Blue Life and Death Series). The other three films are "Blue Life and Death Love" (also known as "Autumn Fairy Tale"), "The Aroma of Summer", and "Waltz in Spring". If "Blue Life and Death Love" (2000) made the public start to pay attention to Korean dramas, then the emergence of "Winter Love Song" laid the foundation for the prosperity of Korean dramas in Asia.
Director Yoon Seok-ho won the Best TV Series Director Award at the 38th Korea Baeksang Arts Awards in 2002, and Bae Yong-joon Choi Ji-woo became an idol superstar who swept China, Japan and South Korea.
It was the winter of 2002, and I still needed to rent a disc to watch a Korean drama, but because it was too sought-after, I couldn't rent it with my female classmates running all over the streets. I remember when the boss said, "You're late and rented out early," and we both looked frustrated.
Its popularity can be seen.
That year, Pei Yongjun's hairstyle, turtleneck sweater, scarf, glasses, Cui Zhiyou's coat, bag, necklace, gloves and even hairpin were all imitated by fans.
Its filming location, Chuncheon Nami Island, has become a "pilgrimage site" for tourists, and it is still a place for movie fans to punch cards. Since then, Korean dramas have become the source of tourist attractions, so the development of Korean tourism, "Winter Love Song" should be remembered.
In Japan, it was adapted into an anime, voiced by Bae Yong-toshi Choi Ji-woo himself, and a live-action version of the wedding was filmed in the finale.
Each of Japan's municipalities has built a theme park for "Winter Love Songs" in the city.
In China, its OST "From the Beginning to the Present" was covered by Zhang Xinzhe and sung in the streets.
Shortly after that, the domestic drama "Opposite the Door" turned out, starring Cao Ying and Hu Yajie, except for the different actors, the others are the same. Oh no, except for the plot, everything else is different.
Even the pose is full of cottage feeling
Regardless of the costume modeling or scene props, there is no place for restoration, copying a homework is to copy the full score into a fail, admire and admire.
"Winter Love Song" tells a 10-year-long first love story, in ten years, the male and female protagonists have experienced car accidents, blindness, separation and reunion, but still love each other deeply, this story can be said to be pure and beautiful, somewhat unreal, and even a little dog blood.
At that time, Korean dramas focused on aesthetic sadism, and there were three magic weapons, which were "car accidents, cancer, and incurable", in short, people who loved each other could not love together through countless hardships, earning enough tears from the audience.
It also makes people in the unknown have a misunderstanding, what is not good health for Koreans?
Later, Korean dramas began to transition to comedy, so that sadomasochism is very unpopular today.
But every winter, I will still brush the "Winter Love Song", if there is anything special about it, it may be better than the purest truth, pure love like snow, and the heroine's tenacity, bravery, beauty and generosity, which was the direction I tried to chase.
So even after 18 years, it is still unforgettable, it is the taste of memory, it is the taste of youth.
This is the charm of Korean dramas.
The costumes in the play are still good to look at today.
In addition to the plot, soundtrack, and costumes, the actors are also indispensable, the gentle and elegant glasses prince Pei Yongjun and the tall and elegant temperament diva Cui Zhiyou, contributed a seamless sense of CP, and so far there are few pairs that can be compared.
Cui Zhiyou's interpretation of the pear blossom with rain, I see you pity
At that time, I had always naively thought that Pei Yongjun and Cui Zhiyou were a couple, but 18 years later, things have long been wrong.
Pei Yongjun, the "master's milk killer" who experienced the heyday, dabbled in various fields of the show business circle, and after achieving fame, gradually retired to the background and became the owner of the agency company.
In 2015, 43-year-old Bae Yong-joon married 30-year-old Park So-jin.
Park soo really loves bean, has played several supporting roles in several plays, and is not very famous. It can be said that she and the top idol Pei Yongjun are not a circle at all, so how did she meet Pei Yongjun? It turned out that Park Soo-jin was an artist under Theast of Bae Yong-joon's company, and naturally had many opportunities.
After marriage, he faded out of the entertainment circle, and was at ease with his husband and children, and now his children are complete.
In 2018, Cui Zhiyou, 43 years old (coincidentally, Pei Yongjun was also married at the age of 43), suddenly announced that he was married to an ordinary company employee who was younger than her teenage years old, tall and handsome.
According to gossip, the other party is a nightclub cowherd, and Cui Zhiyou spent a lot of money to whitewash his identity, if it is true, it is also very legendary.
Now that the goddess is about to be in the basin, a while ago she also made a cameo in "The Forced Landing of Love", which looks the same style and has more of a hint of mother-to-be charm.
"Cailin" Park Shuaimei is married to "Cho Won-jun" Han Jae-sook in "Sky Bridge Storm", although Han Jae-sook often loves in the drama, but his origin is not ordinary, he is the second son of the Korean KIA Group, the proper Korean drama chaebol II.
In 2010, the two became acquainted with drama, and now they have two daughters and live happily. Occasionally come out to shoot a scene, right as a hobby.
Park Rongxia, who is lonely in the play, is exactly the same outside the play, and a person goes to heaven...
And we off the screen are also gradually growing up, getting older, and groping on the road of love.
Maybe you are lucky enough to enter the wedding hall with your first love, and more people are going around with your first love, parting ways, and then continuing to search alone in the vast sea of people.
The impact of "Winter Love" on me is that "10 years" has become an indelible stem, and it is very strange that at that time, when I was young, why would I ask a question: "Can I really miss a departed person for 10 years?" ”
After 10 years, however, it is no longer a puzzle with a question mark. Through 10 years, I "tragically" practiced the only true path in the play, and finally found the same answer as in the play.
When I was young, I used to think that 10 years was a long time, but the white cloud dog, 10 years, is just fleeting. Thoughts do not pass with time, nor do they diminish by a single cent.
Some people say that Korean dramas are women's A-movies, often lost in themselves and direction by Oba. But sober people are using it to heal wounds, but if it can bring you a little healing power, a little firmness to you in the wandering, it is enough.
"The lover's heart is the best house", 18 years, Junshang and Weizhen, in another parallel time and space, must be very happy to live, right?
Real life may not be as complete as Korean dramas, nor as dramatic as Korean dramas, plain and plain, but also a kind of beauty.
May you and I be as strong as the protagonist of a Korean drama, and may Obaoni make you and me more beautiful.
No matter how the world changes, may you and I still believe in love, and when love comes, open your arms and embrace it vigorously.
