After watching an American disaster movie "The Fall of the White House", I stumbled upon a Similarity in last year's Korean drama "60 Days designated survivor": the national ruling center was attacked. Of course, the series does not simply stay at the rescue of the scene of the terrorist attack, but quickly enters the theme - the yearning for the politics of Qingming.
Two lines unfolded, one was for the minister of environmental protection to become the acting president to handle state affairs, and the other was for the investigation of the real perpetrators of air raids.
If Zheng Yusheng in "Iron Rain 2" interprets the gentleman-type president, then Chi Zhenxi shows the scholar-type president. Agent Park is a university teacher, a person without any political experience or political ambitions who has not even been a class president from elementary school to adulthood. When he was forced to become acting president, his mind was only on teaching and studying environmental governance, and his wish was to maintain the situation during his 60-day term so that he could return to school and continue teaching at the end of his term.
Ji Jin-hee plays Acting President Park Moo-jin
The advancement of the plot is definitely contrary to the original intention of the protagonist. But throughout, whether he was in danger or left office at the end of his term, the scholar-type president not only treated political affairs with a rigorous academic attitude, but also won the recognition of his staff and the public with perfect character. It has become the leader of the country expected by democratic constitutionalism, and it is precisely the leader that is not available in reality. After all, the temptations of power are unbeatable. Regardless of the form of government, the first thing that needs to be restrained is the greed of human nature. As the saying goes, man dies for birds to eat, and as an economic animal in nature, man's desire for matter is deeply engraved in his genes as early as the beginning of his yearning for food in the early stage of evolution. Historians say that the moment the surplus material appears, there is no justice and equality in human society. Morality, law, and public opinion are the shackles of imprisoning greed and the weapon of restraining the evil of human nature, and all attempts to resist greed through self-reflection are nothing but self-deception and self-theft.
In reality, successive South Korean presidents have not had a good ending. First President Rhee Was Overthrown by a Coup and Exiled to the United States; Second President Yoon Byung-sun was overthrown by Park Geun-hye and his father Park Chung-hee in a military coup; Park Chung-hee and his wife were assassinated ("Nation and Destiny", Lee Byung-hyun starred in "The Ministers of Namsan"),Choi Gyu-ha was overthrown by Chun Doo-hwan in a military coup; Chun Doo-hwan ("The Grown-up", "Holiday") was liquidated and sentenced to death by Roh Woo-tae seized power; Roh Tae-wook was imprisoned for corruption; Kim Young-sam's son was imprisoned for accepting bribes; Roh Moo-hyun (Song Kang-ho starred in "The Defender") Unable to bear the investigation and humiliated suicide, Lee Myung-bak (documentary Accomplices) was discredited because of his brother's bribery, and Park Geun-hye (Birthday, That Day, the Sea) was deeply trapped in the girlfriend the government.
As some geopolitical commentators say: survival in the cracks, the same roots, coupled with the innate lack of resources, the political influence of the military and chaebols, resulting in presidents often becoming scapegoats in the competition. The suppression of scapegoats became one of the means of relieving public anger. Such a high-risk profession still attracts everyone to compete. Lee Joon-hyuk, played by the defense minister, is a strong contender for Park's proxy candidacy.
Lee Joon-hyuk plays Wu Rongshuo, a survivor of the terrorist attack
Once again, the handsome man abandons his beauty and interprets the villain. First acquaintance Lee Joon-hyuk played Uncle Che's secretary in "City Hall". After all, Korean artists are at most high-level white-collar workers, and newcomers are born, goodbye Lee Joon-hyuk played Seo Dong-jae in "The Secret Forest". This time, he played the survivor's heart boy Oh Young-sook, and started a power struggle with the good man Park Moo-jin. From the perspective of character setting, Wu Rongshuo is more three-dimensional. The cultivation of the actor is not a self-congratulatory daffodil teenager, but a constant breakthrough, attempt, failure and not discouraged to interpret various roles.
The mastermind of the terrorist attack was former President Yang Zhenwan. Agent Park and Oh Young-suk are his favored successors. The ministers' corrupt black materials made the politically clean President Yang finally make this decision, but the greedy people normalized extraordinary means and killed more innocent people for the purpose of power.
Jiang Hanna plays Han Najing, a key member of the National Union who unremittingly pursues the truth of the terrorist attack
The film and television works show that the contradictions in reality are too ridiculous, and the democratic constitutional government vainly tries to achieve the purpose of purifying the ruling class through the reflection and self-purification of some leaders, which eventually becomes a terrorist attack that plagues the people's hearts. Wishes are good, so it's just a political type of big mom drama.
