Among the 30 generations of Korean actresses, Kong Xiaozhen is the one who can carry and resist ratings the most. "Best Love", "The Lord's Sun", "Producer", "The Embodiment of Jealousy", "When the Camellia Blossoms", almost every two years, she will hand over a high-scoring answer sheet. Whether it is the excitement of the story or the word of mouth after the launch, it is listed among the best in the series of the same period.
At first glance, the audience will feel that the heroine looks quite ordinary. But slowly, as the plot progresses, Kong Xiao begins to use "textbook-level acting skills" to reverse the audience's impression of her. Even the same miserable female characters will show a completely different state. As a result, she was called a powerful actress by Korean audiences and praised as the "Queen of Ratings".
Recently, the Ratings Queen has released a new movie! The theme of love, using the most ordinary story to present the most unusual love emotions. During the screening, more than 3 million people in South Korea watched it, and the response was very enthusiastic. Domestic audiences waited for months, and finally waited for the cooked meat version. Title: "The Most Ordinary Love".
The story takes place in a 30-year-old ordinary clerk named Wu Shanying. Recently, she has just landed a new job and is attending an induction party. Suddenly, an ex-boyfriend with a leg-splitting ex-crime appeared holding flowers and knelt down to propose to Sun-young. After the marriage proposal failed, he became angry and deliberately smeared Shanying for cheating during the relationship.
This farce reached the ears of Sun-young's boss, Lee Jae-hoon. Like Sun-young, Jae-hoon is a poor man who has been hurt by love. Busy with work, he ignored his fiancée's joys and sorrows, so much so that his fiancée cheated. Because of his guilt, Jae-hoon can't get hurt and thinks that all the mistakes are caused by himself. Borrow wine every day to dispel your sorrows.
After one drunken encounter, Jae-hoon accidentally dials the phone to Sun-young and talks for two hours. Shanying did not hang up the phone, but listened carefully. After waking up, Jae-hoon was very confused and asked incomprehensibly, "Why didn't you hang up at that time?" Shanying replied, "Because you said, no one listens to you"...
As the title suggests, "The Most Ordinary Love" is an ordinary story that can no longer be ordinary: men and women who have been hurt by love heal each other and slowly come together. Although there were many quarrels in the process, it was precisely because of these quarrels that the hearts of the two were brought closer.
The storyline tends to be ordinary, and the writers and directors focus the narrative on the small details, gentle lighting, and just the right emotional rendering. Record the process of emotional changes between male and female protagonists with one small event after another. From hating each other, to relying on each other, to liking each other.
The adult world is full of entanglements of interests, and it is impossible to say love as boldly as teenagers. Therefore, Sun-young and Jae-hoon in the film are hesitant. Have been skin to skin, but afraid of losing. I was too late to take the first step.
In order to let the audience get enough heart in the process of watching the movie, love movies often use soft light lenses at large lengths to increase the plot of heroes saving beauty in the story. But "The Most Ordinary Love" didn't do that. Completely abandon idol drama love, and put emotions in trivial life small things.
During the ambiguous period, Jae-hoon can't help but make out-of-the-ordinary small moves. This makes Zenmi very angry, thinking that she is not being respected enough. After provoking Sun-mi to get angry, Jae-hoon really can't think of a way to seek forgiveness. You can only clumsily sleep in the elevator of the Shanmei Community for a whole night, and touch each other with bitter meat. Perceive the audience with the most authentic events: in fact, falling in love is not an easy task. Before the cultivation is successful, it will certainly encounter many obstacles.
In addition, there is a difference in the film from other love movies. That is: in the background of the romantic story, there is a straightforward reality similar to a lot of tobacco and alcohol. Before the sweet thing of having love, Sun-young and Jae-hoon's life is decadent. They can only numb themselves without stopping at external things. This is the helplessness of life that only adults can appreciate.
This element setting is similar to the domestic classic love movie "Zhiming and Chunjiao". Using the existence of cigarette alcohol to "symbolize gray emotions" contrasts the warm ending of the story's final "redemption and redemption", and I feel warm in my heart after reading it.
In addition, there are many interesting presentations of adult life in the film. Such as the initiative when pursuing love and the invigorating when fighting back. When he hears other colleagues talking about Sun-young's private life, Jae-hoon comes forward and retorts that Sun-young is not that kind of person. Learning that colleagues talk about their own Shanying did not choose to bear to breathe, but learned the tone of their colleagues' gossip vividly, treated them in the same way, and publicized their private affairs in front of the public.
If Sunmi and Jae-hoon love are the biggest attractions of "The Most Ordinary Love", then Sunmi's counterattack against her long-tongued colleagues is the biggest highlight of this story. The love story and life story are combined just right to make the film romantic and cheerful. Such a masterpiece, of course, deserves to be seen by more people!
