In the past year, too many divine dramas have been withdrawn from their aura.
Remember "House of Cards" that opened in 9.2 and ended in 5.6?
Today sir certainly doesn't want to flip through its old accounts.
Rather, it is to tell the audience who was heartbroken that you may have new options.
Not an exaggeration to say.
The oldest hot-bellied black political drama after "House of Cards", which broke the ratings record as soon as it was broadcast——
"Auxiliary Officer"
Aide – People Who Move the World
Netflix produced, from the beginning is to run to the Korean version of "House of Cards".
Is the poster also familiar?
Yes, this one.
It was just that the dark red blood turned into flowing gold and poured on Lee Jeong-jae's suit.
If you want to summarize the play, sir thinks of two key words, as implied in the poster -
Gradual dyeing, melting.
"House of Cards" is the "Shimoki" president playing with power, killing god along the way, and climbing from the party whip to the peak of power.
"Auxiliary Officer", then, is a more humble and twisted path to the top.
Watch Jang Tae-joon (Lee Jung-jae) go from assistant officer to parliamentarian to president, all the way through the dirty political quagmire.
What is an Auxiliary Officer.
First, let's take a look at this position.
South Korea implements a political system of separation of legislative, judicial, and executive powers, with the National Assembly as the highest legislative body.
The 300 members of the National Assembly are elected and serve one term every four years.
They are on stage, exercising power on behalf of voters and proposing bills that concern major social issues.
The auxiliary officer is the staff behind the parliamentarian.
You can roughly understand it as " chief secretary " .
The official position itself is not large, but because it is close to power, it becomes important.
Their work is often meticulous.
From pasting invoices for parliamentarians, booking hotels, arranging daily trips for parliamentarians, and handling regional grievances, formulating policies, and even investigating and searching for evidence, we must do it.
And on call 24 hours.
If "House of Cards" were like a lesson in American politics.
And "Auxiliary Officer", which is also in the East Asian cultural circle, will make you more familiar.
A few shots can illustrate the problem -
The power-to-power brings about extreme inequality between superiors and subordinates.
Power tramples on self-esteem, and the thrill that power brings.
The two are too strong.
Don't say it's a leader.
Even the most inferior person in the chain of contempt will feel honored because he has grasped the hem of power.
An intern who had just arrived in a member of Congress's office.
Sigh after sigh, magical.
Because coming to this building is like standing in the heart of the Republic of Korea.
△ Subtitles from @ Play Drama, the same below
But to be honest, after watching more realist critical masterpieces such as "The Secret Forest" and "Signal", the above are actually just routine operations.
The highlight of "Auxiliary Officer" is still to come.
Zhang Taijun, the assistant officer in the play, was originally from the police.
10 years ago, watching people fail again and again to fight the unjustified dismissals and environmental poisons of big business, I could only watch them get caught or even die.
Zhang Taijun, determined to change the world.
There is only one way to change the world – to be the one who sets the rules.
Start with an auxiliary officer.
Ideals are, of course, good.
But the problem is —
means.
With two episodes, "Auxiliary Officer" pulled out the "one-dragon" political means that are not common in Korean dramas but are not uncommon in reality.
The techniques are progressive, the process is ups and downs, and the result is reversed and reversed.
How many ends can you go to in order to ascend to the throne?
In the beginning, use the rules.
Jang Tae-joon's assistant to lawmaker Song Hee-seop (Kim Ko-soo) is a representative of the election chamber.
Before voting, who will definitely be on their side, whose votes will be absolutely impossible to obtain, and who can be persuaded must be clear.
If you don't get enough votes, what should I do?
Jang Tae-joon came up with a brilliant idea.
Instead of lobbying those who are wavering, get insurance.
Subtract from the opponent's votes.
Find and deprive MPs of their right to vote on suspicion of drunk driving, bribery, the provision or acceptance of illegal political funds and abuse of power.
As a result, just happened to win the election with a single vote.
Further, take advantage of public opinion.
The method is also superb.
Win sympathy with bitter meat.
Lawmaker Song Hee-sup came to the protesters who were at the gate of parliament every day and provoked.
Sure enough, the already crowded people were instigated and began to beat up the parliamentarians.
Selective media coverage characterized the incident as an "attack."
As a result, the public's attention shifted, and the crisis of trust he had encountered passed.
Those who engage in politics are afraid of public opinion
It is true that "Auxiliary Officer" can let you see all kinds of political games such as sleeplessness, political and business collusion, and self-deception.
But in Sir's view, the reason for the high score of "Auxiliary Officer" is actually another -
It's actually more like an East Asian workplace survival guide.
It's not just an official appearance.
Perhaps every industry will have a similar shadow.
unbelief?
Let's see how many episodes you can make.
Your mp is angry because he has just been elected as a representative of the upper house, but he has been attacked by his opponents and is now facing the crisis of quitting the party.
What do you do while squirting while scolding you?
Don't turn your mouth.
Don't excuse yourself.
You see Jang Tae-joon.
Without hesitation, he picked up the badge from his saliva, cleaned it and immediately pinned it to the deputies, who, even if they were angry, saw this move and eased slightly.
Observing words and colors is an essential skill for survival in the workplace.
You were invited to attend a dinner party, as soon as you entered the door, you saw the parliamentarian and the golden lord's father having a meal, and as soon as you sat down, the gold lord's father began to praise you for doing a good job.
Zhang Taijun's answer is again a template -
Wherever it is, it is the credit of the parliamentarians
Is there a time when something wrong is said in "The Auxiliary Officer"?
Yes.
The father of the gold lord complained that those of us who do business and hate incorruptibility the most, the needle cannot be inserted, and the water cannot be spilled.
As soon as the words fell out, the parliamentarians were displeased.
You hate incorruptible officials the most.
So you and I are eating and drinking so much now, what kind of official am I?
But the gold lord is the gold lord after all.
Say the wrong thing, hit a haha and it's over.
As an auxiliary officer, you must be careful at all times.
No wonder some netizens said that literary drama has filmed the tension and excitement of martial arts.
Needless to say, Korean movies and TV dramas have been the most successful imitators and catch-ups in Hollywood and American dramas for two decades.
"Parasite", which recently won the Palme d'Or with genre films, is a landmark event.
But what you learn is skill.
And the success of the final work needs to be injected with the most sincere emotions and concerns.
"Auxiliary Officer" lets you see —
That kind of accountability for the reality of the country, that kind of worry about the future of the country.
All surging in the chest, spewing out thin.

△ On the "Auxiliary Officer", the Halongsan massacre, look closely at even the sign hanging next to it
You would say that this is another Routine of Korean movies, and it has been seen too much.
But asking reality again and again, is it really not echoing at all?
"Auxiliary Officer" it wants to tell you that the road is obstructive and long.
But most importantly, while the protagonist gallops like a wild horse in the world of power and desire, someone still holds the reins, conveying the original intention that has been bought rarely, but has become more and more precious.
Yeah, it's got to climb up Because you work harder than anybody else and have strength But don't climb too high Wind chill in the heights
To change the world, you must first not let the world change you.
