The Japanese drama that has been silent for a long time has finally made its efforts in this year's autumn file.
Four in a row, one higher than the other.
"True Murder Label", "Disappearing First Love", "This is Love!" Bad Boy and White Cane Girl" and "Favorite", although the focus is different, but the genres are focused on suspense or love.
This is also a theme that Japanese dramas have always been good at.
In today's article, we will take a look at the highest rated one:
"The Favourite"
The story takes place in a small town.
The heroine Li Yang's father is the head of the track and field team and the manager of the dormitory.
The leader of the track and field team is called Dahui.
Li Yang and Dahui both have a good feeling for each other, but neither of them breaks it.
Li Yang has a half-brother, and the sisters and brothers have a good relationship.
My brother was injured in an accident and lost some of his memory whenever he got emotionally agitated.
Soon, the calm of life is broken- someone in the town mysteriously disappears.
The night before his disappearance, he had interacted with Li Yang.
What really happened that night, Li Yang couldn't remember anything.
She only remembers waking up, her father returning from a tired face, guiltily apologizing to her;
In the washing machine, with clothes stained with blood;
On his wrist, there were also scars.
All traces were a reminder that something unusual had happened.
But before she could find out, her father died suddenly with arachnoid bleeding.
Encouraged by his family, Iriyoshi went to Tokyo alone to attend university and stayed at his mother's house.
After 15 years, Li Yang succeeded his mother as the president of the company, focusing on researching new drugs and trying to cure his brother's amnesia.
But the body of the missing person was found 15 years later, and the father of the deceased was killed within a few days.
And in this case, the police suspect that they are inextricably linked to Li Yang.
The former bamboo horse became a policeman for various reasons.
After 15 years of seeing each other again, the identities and statuses of the two have long been very different.
What was once a thrill seems to have been worn away by time.
The heroine, Li Yang, is played by Yoshitaka Yuriko.
Uncle has seen many of the film and television dramas she starred in, such as "I, to the point of work", "Yokomichi Seinosuke" and so on.
But this "Favorite" really shows her beauty and layered acting skills.
For example, the following two scenarios:
The night before Irene set out for Tokyo, the unsuspecting Takema confessed to her.
The long-awaited romance has echoed, but the situation is irretrievable.
She was surprised at first, and then a smile appeared on her face.
But the smile gradually mixed with a hint of bitterness, the corners of the mouth froze, and tears began to swirl in the eye sockets.
She lowered her head and turned her back bitterly, not wanting to worry The Bamboo Horse.
But he still couldn't control it, and eventually collapsed in the arms of the bamboo horse.
Fifteen years later, she is the president of the cold noodles.
In the face of the interrogation of the bamboo horse in the past, she did not flinch.
First, he stared at each other deadly, trying to find a flaw.
Then yanran smiled and disintegrated the other party's defenses.
When she looked up again, she was armed with an offensive posture.
From the eyes to the body language, the audience can feel empathy for the character.
Watching the whole scene is a kind of enjoyment.
Well, back to the episode itself again.
I don't know if you think that the plot of "The Favourite" feels familiar?
Yes, it's the same as For n.
The team behind "The Favourite" is the same production team of "For n", so the style is convergent.
From the perspective of character setting, the heroine is also from a small town, and went to Tokyo in college.
The family suffered a change of heart, which in turn affected her character.
Falling in love with two men ultimately makes a trade-off.
The core of the story is also very similar.
They have a firm belief, and although they have each other as a support, they still choose to face the difficult situation alone.
There is a sentence on the poster of the favorite full staff - "Truth は、愛で消える".
Three People Kaikai Yuiya Yuichi Haiku: "Because All Are Loving." ”
The first sentence is to use love to hide the truth, and the last sentence is that everything arises from love.
They all shield and scapegoate each other for love, sacrificing themselves in exchange for each other's happiness.
But the difference between "The Favourite" and "For n" is that the proportion of affectionate love has increased.
In order to protect the family, the father alone resisted the punishment of crime;
The younger brother struggles to fight the bad guys in order to keep his sister from being violated;
In order to protect her brother, the sister deleted the decisive video evidence and hardened her heart to accumulate strength to fight the predicament.
At the same time, this drama has also added changes and contradictions to the original three-person relationship.
As a policeman, Takema cannot take care of justice and selfishness at the same time.
On the one hand, the oppression of the mission, on the other hand, the beloved person, who is ashamed to fail either party.
At first, the lawyer began to protect Li Yang because of his work.
After years of getting along, it turned into an inexplicable love.
The bamboo horse represents Li Yang's past, while the lawyer symbolizes Li Yang's present.
Past and present coincide not only with romances, but also with old and new cases.
Perhaps these helpless and emotional entanglements are the most attractive points of this drama.
In the ending of "For n", Ximei returns to her original heart and chooses a bamboo horse that accompanies her through the gray and dark time.
I don't know what kind of choice will Li Yang make in this drama?
