Jtbc's new drama "Strengthening the Snow" is being blamed. This is because some public synopsis has featured stories that seem to have associated espionage with the June 10 democratic war.
JTBC's new drama "Snowdrop Flower" has received strong criticism. Because in some of the public scripts, there seems to be a plot that links the 6.10 pro-democracy struggle with espionage.
Broadcasters and production companies nervous about the abolition of SBS's "Chosun Gumasa" have voiced concerns that "snow-strengthening" will take on the same train. On the contrary, netizens who are confident of abolishing the "Chosun Guma" are carrying out indiscriminate attacks.
Due to the abrupt abolition of SBS's "North Korean Exorcist", tv stations and production companies that were already in a state of tension feared that "Snowdrop Flower" would repeat the mistakes of the past. In contrast, netizens whose self-confidence has been boosted by the abolition of "The Korean Exorcist" have launched indiscriminate attacks.
However, the controversies over "Chosun Gumasa" and "Snow-strengthening" are fundamentally different. "Chosun Kumasa" was filled with opinion as the contents of the broadcast and the Chinese-style background were revealed. On the other hand, "snow-strengthening" is an attack that took place simply by fragments of a synopsis.
But the debate about "The Korean Exorcist" and "Snowdrop Flower" is fundamentally different. "The Korean Exorcist" has made public opinion boil because of the plot and the untouched display of the Chinese style background. On the contrary, "Snowdrops" was only attacked because of part of the plot synopsis.
"Sul-Hwa" is the love story of a prestigious college male heroine who jumped into a women's dormitory in Seoul in 1987, and a female college student who hid and treated him in the midst of a crisis and surveillance of Thistle Furran. However, the public is sensitive to the name of the southpap artist, ahn ki-won, and the female protagonist, similar to Chun Young-cho, who was sent to the pro-democracy movement.
"Snowdrops" tells the love story of a famous university male student who runs into a women's dormitory covered in blood in Seoul in 1987 and a female college student who helps him hide and heal him during a thrilling surveillance and crisis. However, the public believes that the protagonist is a spy of the Southern Faction and the head of the Security Ministry, and the heroine's name is similar to That of Qian Yingchu, who is involved in a certain movement, and her reaction is very sensitive.
As the controversy grew, the "snow-hardening" side twice stated its position. They said, "The "snow-hardening" that is scheduled to air later this year is never a drama that destroys the pro-democracy movement and glorifies the ahn-ki and spies." Some of the unfinished synopsis was leaked online, leading to accusations based on certain sentences that were not in context before and after, but this is only a deterrent."
After the controversy expanded, the "Snowdrop Flower" side made its position clear twice. "'Snowdrops,' which is scheduled to air in the second half of this year, is not a TV series that belittles the democratization movement, glorifies the Ministry of Security and Enterprises, and spies," they said. The drama is a black comedy set against the backdrop of the military regime of the 1980s and satirizes the political situation of the general election in the context of the confrontation between the North and the South. As some of the unfinished scripts leaked online, there were constant accusations based on specific articles that had no connections before and after, but this was nothing more than speculation. ”
When the controversy did not subside afterwards, he issued a second statement, saying, "The current controversy stems from piecemeal information consisting of a combination of leaked unfinished synopsis and some character introductions. ""Strengthening" is not a drama that deals with the pro-democracy movement. Rather, a character who was unfairly oppressed by spies under the military regime in the 1980s appears. The background and motifs of major events are not the pro-democracy movement, but the 1987 presidential election. However, we will modify the name of the female character."
After that, the controversy remained unsettled, and the drama side issued a second position article, stressing: "The current controversy stems from the fragmented information composed of part of the leaked unfinished script and character introduction text." Fragmented information increases confusion, so that content that is not a fact is packaged as fact. Instead of a TV series about a democratization movement, "Snowdrops" is an inappropriate crackdown on the characters who were falsely accused of being spies under the military regime in the 1980s. The background and main event was not the democratization movement, but the political situation in the 1987 general election. But we'll change the heroine's name. ”
There is a strange déjà vu situation in this process. The SBS drama "Giant" aired in 2010. "Giant" is a drama about the success, revenge, and love of a man in the city's expansion during economic development in the 1970s, but he saw only a pre-broadcast synopsis and received an arrow of condemnation with a scab that glorified the dictatorship.
In the process, a wonderful déjà vu situation arises. That was the SBS TV series "Giant" that aired in 2010. "Giant" tells the story of a man's success, revenge and love that occurred during the economic development of the 1970s, during the expansion of the city. Before it was broadcast, it was labeled as a "TV series that glorifies the dictatorship" based on the plot synopsis, and became the target of public criticism.
In particular, it was highly controversial that the main character, Lee Kang-mo (Lee Bum-su), became president of a construction company, reminding him of the incumbent president at the time of the construction company's CEO. This led to accusations of drama glorifying the incumbent president and even suspected political intent.
In particular, the protagonist Lee Kang-mo (Lee Fan-soo) will become the general manager of the construction company, which can't help but remind people of the current president of the construction company CEO at the time, which also caused a lot of controversy. As a result, some have accused this of being a TV series that glorifies the current president, and even suspect its political intentions.
As a result of opening the lid, the story of the work was the exact opposite. Rather, it condemned the development policy of the new military, which is represented by Cho Pil-yeon (information stone). In particular, the emergence of international groups in the second half of the year caused the dismantling of international groups to be nailed down by the oppression of the new military. In the end, "Giant" became the last sbs drama to have more than 40% viewership.
However, after the TV series was broadcast, the plot was exactly the opposite of the controversy, but instead criticized the development policy of the new military department represented by Zhao Biyan (Zheng Pushuo). Especially in the second half, with the advent of the international group, the disintegration of the international group was simply blamed on the suppression of the new military department. The praise was overwhelming, and Eventually Giant became the last film to air on SBS with a rating of more than 40 percent.
"Strengthening the snow" has not even begun yet. No one knows what is going on. When the broadcast begins, it can be argued that it is already late, but it has set a precedent for "Chosun Gumasa."
"Snowdrops" has not yet begun, and no one knows what the TV series will tell. Although it can be claimed that it is too late after the TV series airs, there is a precedent for the abolition of "History of Exorcism in Korea".
Pre-broadcast accusations also have side effects. In this way, if the drama becomes something that has not been broadcast, the creators will be atrophyed. You'll be subjected to excessive self-censorship while writing your work. "I want you to be aware that it is an act that atrophys and causes serious harm to the many creators who want to create good works," he said.
Pre-air controversy also had side effects. If the TV series has not yet been broadcast, and it is directly abolished in this way, it becomes something that has never happened, then the creators will inevitably cringe. Even when creating new works, there is excessive self-censorship. "Snowdrop Flower" also said: "I hope that everyone can realize that this is an act that will make many creators who want to make good works feel cringe and induce serious harm." ”
As far as this happens, "strengthening the snow" is to start broadcasting until the mid-year abolition. If so, would it be right for viewers to choose "neutral" now?
At this point, it can be said that "Snowdrop Flower" has been mentally prepared to be abolished in the middle of the way and start broadcasting. So from the perspective of the audience, is it time to choose a "neutral" attitude to watch?
