In the film and television industry, there are very few middle-aged actresses with online strength, and it is even rarer to be able to win cannes.
There are only two people in all of Asia, one is Maggie Cheung and the other is Quan Duyan.
The latter is not only a Grand Slam queen of major Korean film awards, but also a veritable male god harvester, and the actors who have worked with her include Bae Yong-joon, Kong Liu, Lee Jeong-jae, Song Kang-ho and so on.
On the screen, this 48-year-old woman with a variety of styles perfectly interprets what is called the charm of a mature woman.
"The Next Daughter", "The Way Home", "The Proud Wife".... Shine with a unique sexiness.
In these films, ethics, morality, desire, these labels of modern society, have all been torn off the disguise of scale, leaving only the most authentic appearances.
This time, she and the powerful "little fresh meat" Liu Junlie formed a CP and filmed a Korean drama that could not be rejected.
The title of "Human Disqualification" is taken from the novella created by novelist Osamu Dazai.
However, this play has nothing to do with the novel, just borrowed the name.
As soon as the series began broadcasting, it rushed to the top 10 of the JTBC Korean drama ratings ranking, and the premiere broke the korean drama rating record.
The male protagonist, Liu Junlie, just listening to his name, may not be familiar with this actor.
However, as long as it comes to the protagonist of "Please Answer 1988", Dog Huan, it is immediately familiar.
This time to be able to cooperate after the film, it really makes many peers envious.
From the configuration point of view, the production team of the whole drama is definitely the top level in South Korea.
Director Xu Qinhao, whose representative works "Spring Death" and "August Photo Studio", have won the Best Director Award of Qinglong, Dazhong and Baixiang Art Awards.
Screenwriter Jin Zhizhi won the Best Screenplay Award at the Qinglong and Baeksang Art Awards for his film "Suyuan".
The style of the whole play highlights one word - "mourning".
At the beginning, it shows the trivialities of life.
Immediately after, the heaviest topic came to mind – death.
At the beginning of the story, Lee Kang-jae (Yoo Joon-yeol) hugs an elderly woman into a hotel room.
Unexpectedly, when the woman was ready to enter the main topic, Li Kangzai told the other party:
"I'm sorry, your time has come, and I'm going to host my next guest."
Although the woman felt a little disappointed, before leaving, she generously gave him a gift.
After the woman left, she said that she wanted to accompany the next guest.
As a result, Lee Kang-jae lay quietly in bed, and after thinking about life, he slept.
In fact, this "strange man" was not strange until after the death of his friend.
Lee Kang-jae's friend, after borrowing 40 million won from him, has not been heard from.
When he received news, the police informed Lee Kang-jae that he had been martyred with a young woman.
Afterwards, he couldn't figure out why his friend had so much money and suddenly couldn't think straight.
The heroine Li Fuqing was originally an editor of a publishing house, and her work and life were very decent.
After marriage, husbands and mothers-in-law praise their daughters-in-law for their ability.
It seems to be very good, but life will not always make people get their wishes.
Unexpectedly, the manuscript I had worked so hard to write was taken and published by others intact.
As a result, the book caught fire, and I fought it without any results.
Afterwards, he was also resigned from his job.
In desperation, she had to go to a high-end residential area to work as a domestic service worker.
However, not long after she worked, she was complained by the owner and scolded by her boss.
After Li Fuqing returned home, he was counted down by his mother-in-law for a while.
It turned out that the mother-in-law opened Li Fuqing's letter without authorization, and inside it was a court summons.
The mother-in-law questioned the truth of the matter, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a big fight.
But when the husband returned, instead of comforting his wife, he sided with his mother.
Family and life left this woman devastated, and she seemed overwhelmed to find her father.
She knew that no matter what happened, Daddy would always protect her.
But in fact, Dad is old, and many things are already inadequate.
And Li Fuqing finally couldn't stand it and cried loudly and bitterly.
In fact, seeing this, I believe that many female audiences will be deeply touched.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Fuqing's husband is actually a standard good man.
Have a decent job, be honest and responsible, and honor your elders.
However, the life of a middle-aged person often has two sides.
One is for others to see, and the other is what one expects in one's heart.
And Li Fuqing's husband's truest appearance obviously belongs to the latter.
His wife was unemployed for a year, he did not realize it at all, and although he did not cheat, he always regretted that he did not marry his first love.
But he never thought that his wife was also beautiful before she got married.
So two strangers met on the bus.
The more Li Fuqing thought about his situation, the more he couldn't help but be in pain, and Li Kangzai, who was standing aside, handed him a handkerchief out of kindness.
When Li Kangzai was about to get off the bus, Li Fuqing suddenly grabbed his hand, as if grasping for a life-saving straw.
An emotional collision leads to the beginning of a story.
Although the show has a rating of 8.3 points, the audience's evaluation of it is mixed.
The reason is that many viewers do not understand what the story is trying to express.
In fact, "Human Disqualification" is not a drama that explores the problem of marriage, nor does it explore human nature, but shows the various states in which people live in the world.
In the play, some of our usual inconspicuous details are basically put on the screen.
From the word mourning, it is easy to see a real state of life.
As a result, many viewers marveled:
"I feel like this is who I am in real life."
The director is not bound to express the story quickly, but with the performance of the actors, so that the play can be precipitated.
This slow-paced narrative may be criticized as "not being cool and good-looking enough."
However, as long as you watch it carefully, it is precisely because the essence of the show is different from spiritual fast food that it will appear to be healing enough.
Overall, "Human Disqualification" is like a box of chocolates, and you never know what the next one will taste like.
Only after you taste it can you appreciate its value.
Finally, inadvertently, you will feel the "sweetness" that you have never felt before.
