How high is Jeon Ji-hyun's status in the minds of Korean drama fans? This seems to be a problem that does not need to be proven. In the second season of last year's popular Korean drama "Kingdom", "Goddess" appeared in the last episode for less than a minute, so that countless viewers have written the third season into the expected film list... It is precisely because of this that this time, the new drama "Zhiyi Mountain" in which she is the heroine has just started, and the popularity has shown a bursting posture.

However, the unexpected "twist" also appeared after the first two episodes: the slightly chaotic editing of the episode itself, the overly obvious filters and skin grinding on the "goddess", etc., all made the audience and fans shout "overturn". In China, the Douban score of "Zhiyi Mountain" has also dropped from nearly 8 points at the beginning to 7.1...
The front-stage and behind-the-scenes lineups are luxurious
"Zhiyi Mountain" is a special project for the 15th anniversary of TVN, a major Korean drama producer, and the "thought" spent on production can indeed be described as extraordinary. The two main actors of Jeon Ji-hyun and Zhu Ji-hoon alone are enough to attract attention: Jeon Ji-hyun has appeared in a TV series again after a gap of 5 years, and the popularity accumulated by Zhu Ji-hoon with two seasons of "Kingdom" can be said to have expanded to the global scope.
At the same time, the person who wrote the script of "Zhiyi Mountain" was Jin Yinji, who had previously given birth to the classic Korean drama masterpiece "Kingdom" and "Signal". Director Li Yingfu's previous works include masterpieces such as "Descendants of the Sun" and "Ghosts". Korean drama fans have high hopes for "Zhiyi Mountain", which is completely reasonable.
The pair of Zhu Jixun and Quan Jixian is quite good at playing
Judging from the first two episodes that have been broadcast, the plot of "Zhiyi Mountain" follows the suspense route that has been popular around the world in recent years. The whole story began in 2018, and there is also a story line that dates back to the present year in 2020. Jeon Ji-hyun (as Seo Yi-giang) and Chu Ji-hoon (as Kang Hyun-joo) are a group of ranger partners in the play.
Ostensibly, the story revolves around how they search for and rescue trapped people in the mountains. In fact, behind this lurks that there are more strange things and mysterious people in the mountain where the two work.
Affected by the plot, "Goddess" Quan Jixian appeared more in the form of a stormtrooper suit and professional search and rescue equipment this time, but this did not affect her status in the minds of fans. "The whole sister is still so beautiful" "This month will soon be 40 years old, the 'goddess' appearance is still very good"... Comments such as these have been common on Weibo in the past two days.
The "rollover" spit almost followed
"Accidents" always come very suddenly. Just when The loyal fans of Quan Jixian were expecting the "goddess" to replicate the glory of "You from the Stars", the reputation of "Zhiyi Mountain" "flipped".
The first thing that has been complained about is the editing problem. In 2018, Xu Yijiang and Jiang Xianzu braved hardships and dangers and rushed to the rescue operation. Thrilling scenes such as landslides still look like that. But soon, the camera switches to the "now" of 2020,
Xu Yijiang, played by Quan Jixian, directly became a wheelchair to move, and Jiang Xianzu was lying unconscious in a hospital bed. What is strange and incomprehensible is that in this scene, there are repeated mysterious signals on Zhiyi Mountain that only they can understand.
Only 2 episodes of Weibo on a number of topics about "Zhiyi Mountain" is already a state of popularity
Judging from the plot that has already happened, the plot elements of "Zhiyi Mountain" are still quite appetizing. During the search and rescue process, Jiang Xianzu mysteriously said that he could see the picture of the victims covered in blood; after he was unconscious, other rangers saw a picture of a mysterious man who resembled Jiang Xianzu in Zhiyi Mountain. These are very "tempting".
But it's clear that this is something that happens in two space-time periods. In the finished film that the audience sees, they are completely randomly interspersed. What happened in the past and what happened in 2020? What is the main story line? It was a bit cloudy and foggy to watch, and the experience was very bad.
Many of the scene shots in "Zhiyi Mountain" are still quite eye-catching
The audience's second biggest slot so far is focused on the "goddess" Quan Jixian. Under the premise of "beauty or beauty", many netizens have a perception that "the filter is too heavy".
Some netizens complained, "Some places are too distorted, and the iconic mole on Quan Zhixian's nose can't be seen..." "The whole sister is a little white, right?" And why is the person in the same picture extra 'white' on her alone, this filter..."
Combined with only two episodes, it has already triggered a lot of hot discussions, and Quan Jixian's "goddess" aura is still useful, but it is difficult to say how long the audience can endure other bugs in the production of the series under this "aura".
