By chance, I found this Korean drama "Perfume".
Korean dramas are deliberately marked to avoid confusion with the famous movie of the same name.
Although it is an old drama in 2019, the theme is still quite interesting, and the most attractive thing to me is that the ending is not the traditional routine of handsome men and beautiful women.
Douban currently has a score of 7.3 points, and I personally give it 8 points.
In fact, there are very few film and television works in which fat girls/ugly girls maintain themselves from beginning to end and appear as heroines.
Common routines are generally counterattacks, such as the "Ugly Girl Turning Over" in Jinya, and Che Yinyou's "Goddess Descends".
Of course, the female protagonist after becoming beautiful will be with the male protagonist.
But in other words, under the premise that the heroine does not change her beauty, it is almost impossible to reverse her life, nor can she harvest true love.
When the female protagonist is still the original appearance, the male protagonist does not love her.
That is to say, the male protagonist is in the final analysis the so-called "love" that cannot withstand scrutiny.
The wonderful thing is that the male protagonist of this drama loves the female protagonist from beginning to end, and loves the original female protagonist, even if the female protagonist is old and out of shape, he always recognizes her and loves her.
This kind of persistence even makes me feel ridiculous, how in this world can there be a man who can recognize the heroine after the fat?
If I hadn't watched the heroine change after spraying perfume, I wouldn't have recognized it. [Dog Head]
This play explores a very interesting topic, whether women should sacrifice for children, sacrifice for families.
Of course, in Asian countries, this answer seems simple, and all Asian women have indeed sacrificed this way for thousands of years.
Once a woman is married and pregnant, she is giving up herself and devoting herself to the family and taking care of her husband and children.
Fortunately, there is no ex-husband's family in this drama, otherwise it will have to add a bad mother-in-law relationship, endless chicken feathers.
Because of the unexpected pregnancy, the heroine gave up her dream of modeling and got married in a vacuum.
After giving birth to her daughter, she was out of shape, gradually aging, obese, and her husband not only disliked her, ate at different tables for ten years, but also cheated many times, forcing the heroine to divorce him.
When the heroine was discouraged and ready to commit suicide, a mysterious old man gave her a bottle of perfume, and after applying it, she could return to the way she was when she was young and maintain it for 24 hours.
Perfume is limited, the heroine in a limited time, chasing the dream given up when she was young, harvested the unthinkable true love.
After watching this drama, I am sure that the male protagonist is true love.
Many of the male protagonists in other film and television dramas are just ordinary big pig hooves.
In the case of the heroine being so fat, the male protagonist is still full of expectations that the female protagonist will recognize him, help her get rid of her scum ex-husband, and carefully prepare so many pages of ppt, holding a rose to confess.
Even if I can't hold the fat heroine, I still try to move forward that section, and almost make me cry. [Dog Head]
On the contrary, the male second is really interesting, and the screenwriter is really interesting, deliberately setting up a man who cannot accept the true appearance of the female protagonist, and completely portraying the hypocrisy of the man.
In my eyes, this male second and the female protagonist's ex-husband are actually no different, they are just in love with the heroine's young skin bag, once she becomes old, fat, ugly, they can not accept, quickly change their hearts.
The acting skills of the protagonist group are very good, especially the male protagonist Shin Sung-rok and the fat female protagonist Ha Jae-sook.
Shen Chenglu began to become popular from the villain Fu Erdai in "You from the Stars", and I watched his dramas not much later, but every time I was shocked by his acting skills. "The Queen's Character" and "Turning Time into a Machine" I watched, it was a completely different feeling, until I turned to this drama, I always thought he was a professional with a bad horn.
Strangely enough, when "You from the Stars" was on fire, my favorite male character in it was him, surpassing Kim So-hyun.
Although Shin Sung-rok has played a lot of evil characters, I never feel that he himself is a scumbag or a villain, but I think his acting skills are very powerful, especially some of the character changes, and his emotional expressions are in place.
When he doesn't laugh, he makes me feel very fierce, laughs and feels very good, especially suitable for playing a cunning man, an attractive bad man.
When Shin Sung-rok starred in "Family Master One", I learned that he was married and had a daughter, which was unbelievable. [Dog Head]
The river is in Shu. The actor of the fat heroine.
She is specifically mentioned because, in the Asian aesthetic, it is rare to have this type of actor as the protagonist.
I've seen this actress too many times, she always makes small cameos in different Korean dramas and Korean movies, and her appearance is doomed to her not getting any important roles.
South Korea seems to call this type of actor "special actor".
It's really not easy for these actors to come across a film and television work that fully respects her, and her acting skills are very good.
Zheng Zeshi can become the male protagonist, hong Jinbao can become the male protagonist, but we in Asia lack too many female protagonists who can "show people with fat".
P.S Jia Ling if not self-directed and self-acting, it is estimated that no work will give her the heroine color.
Although the ending is more mysterious than the matter of drinking perfume and transforming into a body, I still hope that there will be more and more works of this kind, and I am tired of watching handsome men and beautiful women.
