We often ridicule the world of rich people to think of, rich people's life is so boring and tedious.
But what is a rich man? Probably the so-called upper class, the upper class.
On the surface, they all say equality, but secretly divide people into a hierarchy, the lowest level is called marginal people, and the highest level is called the upper level.
There are many depictions of the lives of these people of different classes in film and television works, especially the lives of marginalized and low-level people, and filming can always resonate.
But for the life of the upper class, most people can only watch, after all, they have not experienced it, and it is more difficult to resonate.
But photographing the life of the upper class can satisfy the curiosity of ordinary people.
The drama that I want to share with you today is to expose the lives of upper-class women and education issues, but it is interpreted in a suspenseful and revenge way to add to the drama.
The drama is "Top Universities", which began airing on September 6, 2021, with a Douban score of 6.0.
The drama also has many familiar faces, such as having acted in famous films and televisions such as "Poisoning in the World" and "Parasite", and having taken the heroine with sufficient gold content such as Baixiang, Qinglong, and Dazhong, or the nominated film queen Cao Rujing.
There is also Kim Ji-so, who has participated in many works and finally won the nomination for best actress of Baixiang with "A Warm Sentence".
As well as the young actor Park Se-jin, who won the best newcomer actress for the public last year with "Underage", the Korean supermodel, and Kong Hyun-joo, who has the support of a Korean version of a certain ice ice, all participated in the drama together.
Four women in a play, the only male protagonist is played by Ha Jun, who has acted in "Fantasy Couple".
After all, this drama is a female theme, so it is normal for so many actresses to participate.
So what about the plot of the show? Here's a brief share of my personal feelings after watching two episodes.
The story begins with an interview at a super luxurious international school, attended by big stars, wives of school executives or the families of some important parliamentarians.
This school is said to be a famous and luxurious school in Zui, South Korea, and most of the people who can receive school invitations are super rich families.
The heroine is an excellent lawyer who has won awards and won soft hands, and her husband has only recently died, and she lives alone with her son.
The son was originally in elementary school in a normal school, but because his classmate said bad things about his father and insulted him with words, he beat the classmate.
This beaten classmate has a good family and clings to it, but the heroine is very domineering.
After asking why her son hit someone, she chose to take her son to transfer schools and gave a lesson to the mother and teacher of the classmate.
Just at this time, she received an invitation from the international school, so the heroine also took her son to the school's interview conference.
The teachers and managers here are all foreign teachers, and the primary school students who come to the interview can also speak fluent English, except for the heroine's son.
The heroine is also a Kochi woman, the English is very good, do not need to translate, much better than the star who initially installed B but still had to rely on translation.
After the parent interview, there is also the student interview.
On the other hand, the families of high-ranking officials such as female celebrities are discussing the matter of admission, using the relationship, the admission list has long been determined, and others are just accompanying the examination.
But in the end, the heroine's son was admitted, but the child of the female star was almost squeezed out, and after learning about it, she hated the heroine very much and targeted the heroine and her son everywhere.
A month later, the heroine completely quit her job to spend time with her son, and after her husband's death, she left them a lot of assets, even if they did not go to work, they could go to aristocratic schools.
But because my son didn't speak English and didn't run around the world like other children, he was isolated from his classmates.
At the female protagonist's entrance party attending her son's entrance party, she was also openly said to be a criminal by the female star, when the heroine and her husband went to sea together, but the husband disappeared and was declared dead.
Because of this, the heroine was identified as having killed her husband.
I thought that the heroine as a lawyer would bully back, but she directly walked away and ran to the side to secretly hurt herself.
While playing hide-and-seek with other students, the son bumped into a female celebrity who was secretly having an affair with someone else in the toilet, and was frightened into hiding in the cupboard.
I don't want someone to lock the cabinet directly, and I'm not sure if it's a female star.
When the heroine reacted to look for her son, she was no longer seen.
Here to complain, the aristocratic school actually has no security guards and no management personnel, the heroine is such a person wearing high heels to climb the stairs to look for, and she does not call the police, just blindly looking.
Fortunately, when she found her son, he only fainted temporarily and was rescued.
The word "welcome" was also written in lipstick on the closed window of the son, which echoed the plot of the female star's lipstick, but there was always a feeling that the female star was not locked.
Outrageous is the performance of the heroine, when she returned home, she did not expect to inquire about her son's detention, but began to repeatedly recall the words of the female star who said that she harmed her husband.
After thinking about many trivial things, I began to pay attention to the fact that my son almost died.
The next day she went to the school to deal with it, and found that the place was a blind spot for surveillance, and she couldn't find out who did it.
After experiencing this incident, the heroine is also quite big-hearted, still supporting her son to go out with other classmates after school, and she herself is looking for companions in the school group.
Later plots also have plots about the heroine meeting the male protagonist at the beach, and some reasons why her son will enter this international high school.
In just two episodes, a lot of holes have been dug, such as how did the heroine's husband die? Look at the comment area some people say that it is fried, then what is the purpose of the husband?
Also, the show is a suspenseful revenge theme, just watching the first two episodes, in fact, it is not possible to see these factors, or lack of some gripping plot features.
It's good to expose the hypocrisy of South Korea's upper class and the dark underbelly of top schools, but there is still something lacking in terms of suspense and revenge.
Some people say that the drama is a suspenseful version of "Castle in the Sky", and the setting is indeed similar, such as the majority of female characters, and the focus is also on the life of 0.1% of The high society in South Korea.
Just the first two episodes, the sense of suspense still needs to be improved.
In terms of the depth of excavating social phenomena, it is not as deep as "Castle in the Sky".
However, I still applied for a sentence, the upper class likes to do the inferior things, the children of the upper class know politeness and erudition on the surface, but in fact they have long lost the qualities they should have as human beings.
Of course, the adults of high society are more complex and hypocritical and dirty.
On the first two episodes to watch, the show is not recommended for the time being, those who have watched can come to talk about your viewing experience of society.
