After May, I thought that the Korean drama market would become more and more courageous, and rushed another wave of ratings for the KPI in the first half of the year, but I did not expect to usher in the inflection point of Korean drama weakness.
Although suspense, love, healing and other elements of the TV series have launched some works, but the colorful May Korean drama has not come up with decent works, including the return of Park Baoying, Xu Inguo's new drama "Someday, The Demise Came In from my House Entrance".
The drama is produced by TVN, which has produced popular TV series such as "Signal", "Secret Forest" and "Ghost", and it is reasonable to say that the production team does not need to worry at all. Coupled with the fact that the director of the play has made "Please enter the search term: www" and "It doesn't hurt to know less, it is a family" two classic Kwon Young-il, the script is written by the screenwriter Lin Huiyin, who has written "Inner Beauty", which greatly increases the audience's expectations for the play. And Park Baoying, Seo In-kook, Lee So-hyuk and Kang Tae-woo, the strong cast of three men and one woman, makes the drama expected to become an annual hit.
Unfortunately, when "Annihilation" announced that its plot was centered on the beginning of human love and terminal illness, it foreshadowed the drama's street-throwing nature. Judging from the currently updated four episodes of the film, "One Day, The Demise Came In from my House Entrance" is not only the title that makes the audience scratch their heads, but its plot and human settings are even more unclear.
The drama tells the magical love story between the source "destruction" played by Seo In-kook who can make everything disappear, and the heroine Zhuo Dongjing, played by Park Baoying, who signed a contract with her in order not to disappear. From the official introduction alone, is it a bit cloudy, feeling that the male and female protagonists are extremely advanced, and the content is very mysterious? However, such a secretive story core, without a wonderful plot and bridge section, is the reason for deceiving the world and stealing the name, and the positive film of "Annihilation" gives people the feeling that this is exactly the case.
The story begins with the heroine Zhuo Dongjing, played by Park Baoying, who originally went to the hospital as an editor of the publishing house to find a doctor writer to urge the manuscript, and accidentally learned that she was suffering from a cerebral tumor terminal illness and could only live for three months at most. Even so, as a social animal, she is still unable to take leave for treatment. To tell the truth, seeing this, I can't help but suspect that the screenwriter deliberately played with the Korean drama terriers of the nineties: car accidents, cancer, and incurable treatment, but according to the follow-up plot, this is really the audience thinking too much. Such an ancient routine is just the starting style of the screenwriter, and the wonderful is still to come.
In order to highlight the heroine's "miserable" word, under the clever arrangement of the screenwriter, Zhuo Dongjing suffered continuous life blows from the hospital to the company and then to the home. First of all, she found herself "by the little three", let the boyfriend's wife splash water, insults; then because of the late return to the company, she was abused by the boss full of gender discrimination; the most fatal thing is that the good deeds spread her little three video throughout the Network, so that she had to take leave to leave.
Obviously, the double blow of career and feelings is a small thing for the screenwriter, so in order to let Zhuo Dongjing live out Huang Lianwei'er, she must also become an absolute tragedy at home. His parents died twice, he and his brother were dependent on each other for their lives, but the younger brother was an indisputable nibbling sister clan, and opening his mouth and closing his mouth was money, forcing Zhuo Dongjing to work to the death, and the situation was worse than Fan Shengmei.
With the opening of the heroine, the appearance of the male protagonist becomes logical. Xu Renguo plays a "god created god", although it is called "destruction", but from the plot setting, he combines the all-powerful attributes of the god of death, the god of decay, and the god of bad luck. Occasionally, he will act as a messenger of justice, and when he sees a murderer who is unpleasant, he will punish him for living and suffering, in short, he is an all-knowing and all-powerful person. However, such a god was very tired of his ability to perish. He often runs to the gods who live in the hospital to complain, and will also tell some profound, philosophical "why." Objectively speaking, from the beginning of the male protagonist's debut, the entire plot has gone to a situation where it is neither light and funny, but also jerky and difficult to understand.
Unlike the story of "Ghost" in the past life, "Annihilation" does not give Xu Renguo enough explanation for the god from the beginning, so when he has a dialogue with the god of the flower girl, the audience is completely unclear. Why would a god who could destroy the world not want to live? Just because you don't know why you were born? Because the male protagonist's character is too thinly portrayed, the contradictions and conflicts between him and Zhuo Dongjing and the signing of the contract are far-fetched to the point that the audience needs to make up for it.
Especially the rivalry between the male and female protagonists, the screenwriter has been deeply involved in logical confusion and is unable to extricate himself, and he can only frantically plug the routine of classic Korean dramas under the circumstances of last resort, in order to barely push the plot forward.
Take the first encounter between the male and female protagonists, Zhuo Dongjing went home drunk because of a day's blow, saw the meteor and made a wish to "perish the world", it just so happened that her drunken words were heard by the "annihilation" of the birthday alone, and she strode into the door and stepped into the household, to sign a contract with Zhuo Dongjing for the "destruction of the world", the advantage is to ensure that Zhuo Dongjing does not feel the pain of the disease in the last days of his life. I thought that this kind of plot in order to buckle the title and theme of the play was the patent of the domestic bad drama, but the broadcast of "Annihilation" allowed the audience to see what is called "world unity".
In addition, because he was frightened by the "annihilation", Zhuo Dongjing rejected the proposal of annihilation. In order to persuade Zhuo Dongjing to perish into her dream, he also took her to the sea to prove his ability. The bridge section here is very similar to the seaside date between the two people in "Ghosts", both of which are female protagonists who like the seaside, and the difference is only people. There is also a car accident in the Korean drama Three Treasures, which the screenwriter also used in the first episode. Because the heroine really does not want to "perish" (initially understood as death), she does not agree to sign a contract with the male protagonist. Just at the moment of crossing the road, the heroine suddenly fell ill and fell on the zebra crossing. Seeing that the big truck was going to crash herself to death on the spot, the heroine could only agree to the proposal of destruction and signed a daytime contract.
That's all there is to it in the first episode of Annihilation. It can be said that the brain hole is not the patent of the screenwriter of any country. However, for the Korean screenwriters who are most good at the theme of love, the first two episodes of the "Annihilation" drama are like disasters, not to mention the urine points everywhere, if not double the speed, it is also a lonely watch.
Although some viewers said that they saw the miniatures of "You from the Stars" and "Ghost", as far as the current effect is concerned, it is likely to be a phantom in the eyes of fans. In terms of horizontal comparison, from the current update of the May Korean drama, whether it is actor traffic, acting skills, or creative team, "Annihilation" belongs to the upper echelons of the industry. However, these upper-class figures add up to produce a positive and negative chemical reaction, which has to be said to be a major failure of TVN, comparable to the "Sisyphus: Myth" that was ridiculed by the group a while ago.
2021 South Korea's 57th Baeksang Art Awards Ceremony has just been held on May 13, according to reports, the recent cp of many popular Korean dramas have appeared in the same frame, "Annihilation" in Xu Inguo, Park Baoying is known as the most anticipated couple, and they are praised by netizens as the strongest CP.
However, with the broadcast of "Annihilation", the screenwriter's stacking secret technique, which can be called the plot arrangement of the screenwriter's routine manual, dissuaded the audience at the same time, but also triggered fans to complain crazy about the two main actors. The plot of pulling the crotch, the plot of the routine, and even the strongest CP are suddenly out of flavor. Coupled with the chaotic logic, the original sweet CP line is full of, making it difficult for the audience who wants to stumble on the sugar.
Although only 2 episodes have been updated so far, "Annihilation" has become an established fact. The plot that is difficult to go low and difficult to go high has doomed its future direction, even if Park Baoying and Xu Renguo's Yan is good, the 7.8 points on Douban are just sympathy votes for fans.
