The suspenseful horror Korean drama "Others Are Hell" that dominated the screen throughout September finally ushered in the finale, and it is not an exaggeration to say that although there are only 10 episodes, the show can be said to be in a cold sweat throughout the entire viewing process until the last 1 second.
And it eventually gained a high score of 8.4 scored by MORE than 20,000 people on IMDB and Douban.
Sure enough, the suspense drama still has to watch OCN!
The previous "God's Quiz", "Special Cases Task Force TEN", "Bad Guys", "Special Missing Cases Group M", etc. are the best in this genre.
I thought that after the end of "The Other Is Hell", we could finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to pinch our hands to watch the play.
But obviously, OCN will not let us go so easily, and immediately fills the gap for us with a new suspense drama.
After watching two episodes with a breath, Lao Meng wanted to say that the first two episodes were really all suspicious points, and he couldn't see the next plot direction, and the tension of "Others is Hell" was back!
The suspenseful new drama that this article wants to talk about that takes over "Others are Hell" is directed by Lee Yoon-jeong and starring Lee Min-ki and Lee Yu-young.
"Everybody's Lies"
Li Minji plays a criminal police officer in the guangdong search team in the play, and friends who have seen his previous works should be familiar with him.
Although he is not a handsome face in the traditional sense, with 2017's "This Life is the First Time" and 2018's "Inner Beauty", he has left a "handsome" mark in the hearts of the audience.
One of the topics in the Douban discussion group was "Which character in "This Life is the First Time" surprised you the most?" The answer that appeared the most was Li Minji.
This time, he can also be regarded as subverting the previous image of the cold and rich and handsome, incarnating as a Buddhist criminal policeman, in order to meet the image of the criminal police, he also specially increased his weight by 8KG.
Unexpectedly, unlike most stars who lose their appearance as soon as they get fat, after having a more fleshy figure and a "Pacific shoulder", he is more eye-catching!
And Li Yuying, who plays the heroine, is even more aware of the existence of people who have seen Korean films.
In 2015, she won the crown of best actress at the 14th International Film Festival with her starring film "Spring", and it was also the first time that a Korean actress was sealed at the Milan Film Festival, and the high-scoring film "Tunnel" starred in 17 years was also amazing and appropriate.
And director Lee Yoon-jeong and the screenwriter are also following the 17 years of "Argon" and then cooperate, under the blessing of the previous work of 8.4 points, the script and picture can not be worried.
The story begins with a murder in which a young woman falls from the roof of a building.
Judging from the note left at the scene, the young woman has been deeply troubled by depression, and there are antidepressant drugs at home.
All the evidence shows that this is a simple suicide case, and the criminal police who investigated the scene also hastily ended.
But on the other hand, the man who knew that the woman had fallen from the building looked very manic, not only frantically pounding the window, but also running to his father-in-law's house to question.
This man is the husband of the heroine Kim Ri-hee, Jeong Sang-hoon, the sole heir of JQ, the largest local company, and now serves as the head of a new energy project team within the company, and his father-in-law is the local Liberal Party mp Kim Seung-chol.
Judging from the conversation between the two, it is clear that Senator Kim was aware of the young woman's death and that her death was hidden, but Senator Kim said there was nothing he could do about it.
However, Shang Xun was determined to find out the truth of the incident, and the conversation between the two broke up unhappily, and even moved his hands during the period.
Rishi, who overheard outside the door, followed Shang Xun's footsteps out, firstly to care about what happened between him and his father, and secondly to want Shang Xun to make a break, because Shang Xun and her relationship is estranged, the two have been separated for 4 months.
But Shang Xun did not want to talk about this matter at this time, so he left after a few perfunctory remarks.
That night, Senator Kim died in a car accident while driving, and Sang-hoon disappeared.
Responsible for the investigation of the car accident case of Congressman Kim is the male protagonist, Cho Tae-sik, who was originally the elite of the Guangdong Search Team and a real-life hot-blooded criminal policeman.
But with the passage of time, he now only wants to return to his hometown to live some leisure days, so he took the initiative to apply for transfer to the police station in the countryside and left his post after 2 weeks.
He only wanted to spend his tenure in the guangdong search team in peace, but he did not want to encounter the woman's fall case first, and now encounter the car accident of The Golden Congressman.
Originally thought it was also an ordinary car accident case, but in the process of on-site investigation and family inquiry, Tae-sik found something wrong.
First, Senator Kim had been calling his son-in-law Sang Hoon that night, but no one answered, and Sang Hoon had disappeared since then.
Second, the car of The Golden Senator who hit the large stones on the side of the road had no brake marks at all, but a long brake mark was found in the opposite direction, and it was carefully wiped off with chemical potions.
Obviously, Congressman Kim only had a car accident in order to avoid the opposite vehicle, so who was the vehicle driving from the opposite side?
Third, the glasses that Senator Kim dropped on the ground showed signs of being stepped on, and the dashcam that was originally installed on the car was taken away, and the vehicle was quickly scrapped.
Looking at the unusualness of the case, it's already clear that Senator King's car accident was not an accident or was man-made.
So Tae-sik once again investigates the relevant figures in the whole case and finds that Shang-hoon, who claims to have gone abroad on business, has not left the country at all, and no one has seen him since the incident.
At the same time, he also found that the last person to see Shang Xun that night was the heroine Rishi, it seems that everything revolves around Rishi, and he decides to meet with Rishi again.
On the other hand, because of the death of Senator Kim, the position of Liberal MP has become vacant, and the president of JQ Enterprises urgently needs to be filled by new people, and the criteria for new people are only one: easy to control.
Because of the influence of the former Congressman King, they chose Rishi as the replacement, first, she is the daughter of Councilor King, and second, she is also the daughter-in-law of JQ.
But Rishi, who lacked education or experience, did not want to take over the position of mp until an accident at the scene of her father's mourning service.
At the scene of the mourning service, a young boy playing with leather balls in the square found a courier box, opened it and found that it was a human hand, and the finger was wearing the same wedding ring as Rishi.
That is to say, this is most likely Shang Xun's hand.
After forensic testing, it was confirmed that it was indeed Shang Xun's hand, or it was cut off with a sharp weapon while he was alive.
Soon, the person who put the box in the square was found, but he was only a courier, and he did not even see the client's face, and the clue was broken again.
However, Shang Xun has a new clue on his side, he also rented a suite in the hotel outside of his home, and from the traces in the room, there were once two people living here.
Originally thought to be the place where he and his lover had a secret meeting, surveillance showed that the person who spent a week here with him was his father-in-law, Senator Kim.
Are the two seemingly incompatible people investigating something?
At the same time, investigators also found Shang Xun's car in a remote village, and found the key person Jin Biyan according to the clues on the car.
Kim Bi-yeon, a union representative for a large concrete company, was forced to close his doors because of his new energy business, for which he also set himself on fire in front of Kim's house.
Following this clue, a knife was found in his wife's butcher shop that cut Sang-hoon's wrist, and he has been on the run.
It seems as if the situation is getting clearer, but the truth is not over.
Jin Biyan, who had been hiding from someone, was first secretly set on fire in an attempt to burn him, and then he was followed and beaten by people, and the person who followed him was actually Shangxun's father's men, who wanted to force Shangxun's whereabouts from his mouth.
It should be noted that the person who set him on fire and beat him up and forced him was not the same person.
Then, rishi receives a message in the middle of the night, a video of Sang-hoon being imprisoned and his broken hand, and the murderer gives her a choice to save her husband and become a parliamentarian.
So Rishi held a press conference and announced that he would take over his father's position as a parliamentarian.
At this point, things have a new development, Rishi receives a call to go to the freezer, and sees a corpse hanging in the container.
The above plot is only the content of the first two episodes of the show, and only two episodes have brought out 4 cases, 3 homicides and 1 kidnapping.
It can be said that the plot is very full, and it is full of foreshadowing.
A simple plot is that the parliamentarian's daughter Rishi experienced her father's "suicide" overnight, her husband disappeared, she was forced to take over the role of the parliamentarian in order to save her husband, but the murder case still happened one after another, and finally decided to find the truth with the male protagonist Tae-sik.
Judging from the direction of the plot, these cases are only a follow-up, starting from Rishi's becoming a parliamentarian, and only then has he really begun to make a big deal out of the whole truth of the incident.
And from the existing plot point of view, in addition to the male and female protagonists, others seem to have something to hide.
For example, why does Shang Xun obviously love Rishi but suddenly show indifference? What are he and Senator King secretly investigating? What is Shang Xun's father doing? Is it related to Senator Kim's car accident?
And the biggest problem is the kidnapping of Sang Hoon?
But most people choose to remain silent or lie for their own survival, so among all the lies of all people, how can these two people break the silence and find the truth?
From the first episode of this drama, the male and female protagonists have abandoned the necessary love sections in most Korean dramas, and both of them are bent on solving the case.
And the whole plot is suspenseful, because the amount of hidden information is too large, resulting in a very brain-burning. At the same time, the cruelty of human nature and the undercurrent of intrigue and trickery are also very gripping.
Of course, the label of Li Minji + Li Yuying + OCN suspense drama is enough for people to chase down.
