After traveling back to ancient times to fall in love, fall in love with aliens, and romantically meet the male protagonist in the comics, Korean dramas have been innovated again. The story is set in modern society, but it has the fantasy progression of "package distribution object".
In this latest-concluded episode, the protagonist has a destined lover. Only 30 minutes after the opening, the high-sugar plot of "male and female protagonist kiss" is sprinkled, which is the audience's favorite sweet pet drama.
Title: "To My Name".
The story begins with a magical being called "Name": it is very mysterious and always appears inadvertently on the bodies of young boys and girls. Whenever they meet someone destined to do so, the names on their bodies glow.
In middle school, the heroine Zheng Zhiyu appeared on her arm with the name of a destined person, called "Liu Zaixia". After several years of searching, I finally met him when I was in college.
The first meeting between the two was very oolong.
——Because Ji Woo likes to wear neutral style clothes and have a refreshing short hair, he is mistaken for a boy in Xia.
Unable to accept that "the person destined to be the same sex as himself", Jae-nag panicked and denied the fact that he had Ji Woo's name on him.
Yin and yang, in the summer to go to the rental house where Zhiyu is located to share a room.
In order to welcome Insia, Zhiyu, seniors and others gathered for dinner together. When sending the drunken Zhiyu back to the room, Xia and Zhiyu accidentally kiss. The atmosphere is romantic and gentle, which makes people's hearts beat...
"To My Name" is a popular web drama in South Korea in recent years. It is popular because of the interesting story setting and short and concise plot. Most of the participants are newcomer actors, but they are high in appearance and youthful atmosphere. Every short web series can be seen as a youth movie.
The most fascinating setting in this story is Xia's bravery of "choosing to like Ji Woo after mistakenly thinking that Ji Woo is a boy". Although he experienced a series of activities such as self-doubt, denial of Name's correctness, and avoidance of feelings, in the end, Xia still chose to face it: not to believe in Name, but to believe in his own emotions. It doesn't matter if it's a girl or a boy. True liking should be a soul-to-soul resonance, regardless of gender.
Taking the fantasy setting as the starting point, leading to a deep core view of love, it is difficult to believe that this is just a web drama.
From the moment he determined his mind in Xia, the story officially entered the high-energy stage.
The relationship between the senior and Ji Woo is very close, and they often fight and make trouble. This made the vinegar jar very dissatisfied in the summer. Seize the opportunity to separate the senior and Ji Woo. So much so that the episode often appears in the scene of Xia feeding snacks to the seniors and tying aprons.
After much deliberation, Xia decided to confess. Tentatively asking Ji Woo, "What do you think of boys liking boys?" As everyone knows, it is self-defeating and gives Ji Woo the illusion that "I like the senior in Xia".
As the plot continues to advance, one funny plot after another is staged. Often one second the atmosphere is romantic, the next second the plot sand sculpture. Unconsciously, I chased this story to the end.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Name, there is also the existence of "No name" in the series. As the name suggests, this group of people does not know who their destiny is, so they run into walls again and again in the process of searching.
Ji Woo's girlfriend is No Name, and since he understood what love is, he has been looking for the person he was destined to be. Because she is not sure, she has failed in love again and again, and even met scumbags.
Compared with the sweet love between Zhiyu and Xia, the process of girlfriends meeting destined people is more bumpy, full of regrets, tears, disappointments and many other elements. Until one day, the boy who has a crush on her can no longer bear to confess loudly...
Ji Woo's love affair is the love that everyone will envy. Fate is destined to make sure that the other person is the most important person in life at the first meeting.
But from a realistic point of view, what a girlfriend represents is precisely the process of ordinary people's love. Keep trying and making mistakes, keep growing, and find the right person. One story, two very different settings. Combining "chance encounters and inevitable encounters" to distill the romantic theme of "only real love is true love".
Because it is a web series, "To My Name" pays great attention to the fast-paced nature of the story. Every episode has a small pop-up. Like all Korean romance dramas, the painting style is gentle and full of a lot of soft light shots. The close-up and halo of the characters are blended together just right, and just looking at the picture is enough to give the audience a pleasing feeling.
In addition to the romantic love story, there are also many realistic descriptions of college life, dream ideals, and the cultivation field between love triangles. Don't miss it.
