As one of the first Korean dramas to enter China, "The Men of the Bathhouse Owner's House" has always been one of my favorite family ethics dramas.
Although the plot of the play is slow and there is no plot to open up and close, from its appearance on the screen to today, many years later, there are still a large wave of fans who often can't help but look back and reminisce, and the changes of the times and family and love are all mixed in this drama.
Time flies, more than 20 years have passed, we who used to be children, now we are gradually growing up, and even some have formed a family, but I don't know how this family in the play is now?
Let's take a look.
1. Grandparents
Grandpa Jin Fu Tong
Grandpa always looks very serious, at every turn to put the family who made a mistake in the basement, but in fact, very childish, the treatment of the eldest son of economic difficulties is also spare no effort to help, his only black spot should be with the ten big soup that section, the back also made a living, this big man men also with the collective runaway, come back to hang in the living room of the photo from the bathhouse man group photo to the bathhouse woman photo;
Grandpa is played by Lee Soon-jae, a famous old drama bone in South Korea, who has been active in the film industry for 66 years, known as "National Grandpa" and "Korea's First Father". In addition to the bathhouse home, there are also "What is Love" and "Funny Family" that are familiar to everyone. The 86-year-old lives with his wife in an ordinary house and occasionally participates in some variety shows.
Grandma Lee Himeko
Grandma is a very angry and wise person in life, she is the backbone of the whole family, on the surface she is very obedient to Grandpa's respect, but privately she can rectify him obediently;
Grandma is played by Jiang Fuzi, and this superb grandmother still impresses us. She eats the old man's flying vinegar from time to time in "The Men of the Bathhouse Owner", which is more real and cute, making the audience laugh.
In "Yellow Handkerchief", she played a strong grandmother who had a heavy heart and loved her children and grandchildren, spilling a handful of warm tears in people's hearts, which was deeply moving.
This national treasure grandmother is now South Korea's premier "screen treasure". Directors and screenwriters generally consider inviting Jiang Fuzi to star when creating the image of some grandmothers who have suffered hardships but are still strong.
Although she is 79 years old, she still looks very tough in the camera, like an old man in her early 60s. During this time, Jiang Fuzi's new TV series "Penthouse" is being broadcast, so the work is still relatively busy. But for Jiang Fuzi, filming has become a kind of enjoyment, so the whole person's spirit is better than when resting. In fact, in addition to his first-class acting skills, Kang Fuzi was also a member of the Korean National Assembly and has a respected social status.
2. The eldest son, fengxiu family
The eldest brother and sister-in-law are a model couple, which is related to the sister-in-law's kind personality of hard work and resentment, but at the beginning of the film, none of the three daughters in the family married out to make her sad hahahahaha, the eldest brother belongs to the whole day happy Hehe, at home is a peacemaker, in short, very caring for the family good man.
The eldest son, Feng Xiu, is played by Daniel Zhang, don't look at Daniel Zhang name is very Chinese, but he is 100% Korean, born in South Korea in 1945, this year is 75 years old. Although he is over seventy years old, he loves acting and has always been able to have more energy to star in TV series. In the "Avengers of Fu Cave" broadcast in 2017, he played Li Yaoyuan's father-in-law, and the excitement of his acting skills in the play was not lost to other leading actors.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Ying Zi, is played by Gao Douxin, a 69-year-old native of Jeju Island, South Korea, who is also a professional mother in Korean dramas, and is affectionately known as "Heart Mother" by Chinese fans.
National mother Gao Douxin has actually starred in works such as "More Beautiful Than Flowers", "Please, Mom", "Dear My Friends" and so on, and is the mainstay of Korean dramas, and the performance of "When camellia blossoms" broadcast some time ago is also quite outstanding.
In fact, don't look at Gao Douxin now appearing on the screen is the role of mother-in-law, but when she was young, she was also a stunning beauty, a 100% natural beauty.
The younger generation, of course, the most interesting is yin jing and Hao jun this pair, the real soul mate made in heaven, the two met and met each other are very dramatic, Yin Jing because of the emotional intelligence is a complete celibacy, the profession is a translator, the personality is very strong, articulate, but Hao Jun is not lagging behind, every time Yin Jingqi is enough, the dialogue between the two is particularly interesting, even if it is a chess opponent, only Hao Jun can open Yin Jing's heart knot, this kind of man is too idealized, it is estimated that it can only exist on TV;
The screenwriter of the show is the famous Korean gold medal screenwriter Kim So-hyun, who saw it in an early interview, and she said that her favorite character in the show is Yoon Kyung.
Screenwriter Jin is very talented, if it is only talent, she can also make good works, but she also has feelings, expectations, and sustenance for the works. Therefore, when I look at her works, especially this "Bathhouse", I see her naked patriotism and see her unswerving idea of equality between men and women.
What is affection? Feelings are a kind of love, an attitude, a will that makes people tear up, no matter how difficult, no matter how bitter they can persevere.
This is what Director Jin unleashed in "The Bathhouse". In 1996, she told the audience through her works that when the country encounters economic downturn, as ordinary citizens, we are not complaining, not angry, not restless at home, we must unite, we must work hard, we must help each other, and we must make a small contribution to the national economy.
Yin Jing is played by Pei Zhongyu, 56 years old this year, and his plays have decreased in recent years, starring in "Elegant Home" last year, but often participates in variety shows.
Second granddaughter Enjing
Enjing's story is more ordinary, although the appearance of beautiful personality but the marriage is not smooth so that it is always full of negative energy, at the beginning and the burly Xiang Kuijun affection but because the other party is too big to cause the mother to strongly oppose, so there is no post, the later through the introduction of Haojun, met the Dream Dragon, may be too much want to have a family even if everyone opposes it and Dream Dragon combination, Dream Dragon This person I do not like, cowardly and always cry and cry, upset, but Enjing like it;
Eun Kyung is played by Tao Zhiyuan, who was a ballet dancer before acting, and is also 51 years old this year, still active on the TV drama stage, and is still unmarried.
Three granddaughters, Hideyoshi
People often use the term "holding a beautiful murder" to describe a person who is excessively good-looking, and these four words are particularly suitable for Xiujing.
The most beautiful of the three girls, Hideyoshi himself was well aware of this and used it extraordinarily well.
For her own suitors, Xiujing can make a mind map to analyze the strengths and weaknesses, it seems to be particularly snobbish, but in fact, she is the most real.
Xiujing is played by Jin Xishan, who is very familiar to Chinese audiences, and she herself said that the three granddaughters in "Bathhouse" are the true colors, and the simple beauty is not troubled. In other dramas, either the wife who takes revenge on Xiao San, or the talented singer who is blind in both eyes, in short, the role is quite bumpy.
I have to say that in recent years, the most frequent word to describe Jin Xishan is "childlike beauty", more than 20 years later, Jin Xishan's appearance is still so bright. Although since his debut, Kim Hee-sun has been constantly rumored to have plastic surgery, but to maintain such a good state, even if it is an artificial beauty, people with a bad foundation cannot achieve such an effect and temperament even if they have plastic surgery.
2. The second son, Hee Soo's family
The second brother and the second sister-in-law are the most interesting, the second brother Hee-so plays Nam Sung-hoon, is a bank president who does not smile but has a kind heart, saying that he is kind in heart because although he is very serious, he does not dislike the son to marry the country daughter-in-law, the second brother and the second sister-in-law are very unhappy because of this matter.
Since filming "You and My Song" in 1998, he often had physical pain and memory loss, so he could hardly memorize his lines. Later, it was found that he was suffering from "systemic neurastrophic disease", and after a year and a half of being unable to speak, the disease ruthlessly took his life.
The actor of "second aunt" is Yin Ruzhen, a lot of age is still a girl's heart, love to wear hats, love to dress up beautifully, like to go to elegant places, very much love to read poetry, that poetry comes anytime and anywhere, sometimes when quarrelling can also suddenly be very sad to come, so the classic line of the second brother is a helpless face and angry to say "I beg you not to read!" Don't read it! "It's super funny.
Now she herself is already an elderly person in her 70s, and in recent years, her starring in "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-Law", "My Dear Friends", "Really Good Season", and "No Second Time" are also very high-quality works, especially in "My Dear Friends" with Luo Wenji, Kim Keiko and other powerful factions, which is very exciting.
epilogue:
To be honest, I like to watch this kind of short story in parents, whether the love TV series is made up and edited, or the communication between relatives is life, it is also very interesting. However, domestic rural dramas are very boring, family dramas are all kinds of roaring, screenwriters are routines, should be based on life, to unfold the narrative story, in short, like this small warm TV series, not hurried and slow narration.
