Kim Kyu-tae, a gold-medal director who has won the Hundred Thoughts Awards many times, and Lu Xijing, a gold-medal screenwriter who is the best at writing life dramas, joined forces, and the two geniuses who almost swept the film and television drama awards brought this high-scoring Korean drama "Our Blues" with a warm response.
This Korean drama with Jeju Island as the story location and the delicate and warm feelings in the lives of ordinary people in the form of unit dramas has aroused heated discussion among the audience as soon as it was launched, and it also received a high score of 8.6 on Douban.
Facing the sea, spring blossoms.
Haizi's poem is the most beautiful expectation and fantasy of many people for life, the word "sea" has always carried a lot of special feelings in literary works, but when "sea" is connected with the steaming fireworks, it is silent like a companion to record a period of sour, sweet and bitter life.
In "Our Blues", the protagonists' lives are like an endless sea stretching around the highway, sometimes calm and warm, sometimes with the waves rolling and obscure.
Lee Byung-hyun, Cha Seung-won, Lee Jung-eun, Shin Min-er, Han Zhi-min and Kim Woo-bin, who appeared in a TV series for the first time after his comeback, all appeared one by one, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is only one possibility for these powerful actors who are well-known in South Korea to get together, that is, this "Our Blues" is expected to impact this year's Baeksang Award.
The first unit of the story revolves around the middle-aged male god Gao Hanxiu (Cha Shengyuan), who is under great pressure to repay the loan, and Eun Hee (Lee Ji-woo), a rich woman in Jeju Island who made a fortune by selling fish.
Gao Hanxiu, a bank branch president who took the "Hanmen Guizi" person, rushed out of Jeju Island town by relying on his own learning efforts when he was young, and after joining the bank, he was promoted and raised all the way to become the president of the bank branch, and he also sent his wife and daughter to the United States to study and live with his own efforts.
It seems that the scenery is infinite, in fact, the position of the head of the bank branch just looks glamorous, in fact, when he reaches middle age, he still has to run every day to complete the performance, not only to go door to door to post leaflets for publicity, but also to send flyers in the crowded subway, in order to be able to complete the performance and tasks that the bank distributes to him every month earlier.
When you return home after a busy day, you can only simply eat a bowl of instant noodles, and you dare not spend a penny.
Because he wanted to save all the money to pay for his daughter's study of golf in the United States, and his wife and daughter's living expenses in the United States, he couldn't take care of his mother and siblings in his hometown, and he could only scribble a little living expenses every month to ask his brother to take care of his mother.
This made the original family who had saved money to support Han Xiu to go to Seoul to attend university, particularly dissatisfied.
And Han Xiu has long been unable to take care of the evaluation of outsiders, in order to support his daughter's love for golf, has sold the house, his wife even resigned to use the pension to live, Han Xiu did not dare to spend a penny, his wife is also in the united states unfamiliar with life difficult to live, no money to refuel and reluctant to open the heating, and in the circle of international students there are many people mocking their daughter is a machine that will only eat money.
In order to barely pay for his wife and daughter's expenses, Han Xiu could only borrow money everywhere. Overall, Han Correction, who was transferred back to his hometown of Jeju Island, is experiencing an unprecedented midlife crisis.
In his hometown, he meets his old classmate Eun Hee (Lee Yoo-yeon).
Compared with Han Xiu's "decency", Eun Hee is a vigorous and rough middle-aged woman, who seems to be sloppy and only cares about the aquatic products she sells, but is actually a rich woman who earns a lot of shops and an entire building by herself.
And Han Correction was the object of the young heart of the rich woman who lay in this bank with countless assets.
One is a "male god" who borrows money as a life-saving straw, and the other is a rich woman who is grinning and bent on making money and has always been single.
The two sit together and reminisce about the past, but it is a rare calm and warmth, and the audience can guess various plots, complain, talk about feelings, and repeatedly tempt on the verge of borrowing money.
If such a plot is not filmed well, it will immediately become a dog blood family ethics drama.
I have to say that screenwriter Lu Xijing's skills are extremely deep, and the stories she writes are more gentle and plain, and retain the bottom line of the character's inner kindness.
And the acting skills of Che Shengyuan and Li Yaoyao, two powerful actors, also made the audience clap the case, Che Shengyuan is worthy of being a hundred thoughts of the emperor, although his interpretation of Han Xiu has some utilitarianism, but also a sincere person, will pour hot tea when the customer investment fails, borrow money from friends after failure to encourage each other to learn to invest, but also because he as the eldest man in the family but failed to take care of the responsibility of the family and feel ashamed.
And Li Yaoyao, who played a nanny in "Parasite" and used her acting skills to make the audience creepy, won the Green Dragon Award and the Baixiang Award, and this time her performance in the play made the audience feel amazing.
Eun Hee, played by her, quit school early to earn money to support her family in order to bear the lives of her brothers, and broke out of the fishy aquatic market.
The appearance of Han Xiu lit up her life again, she had not been married in her life, she met her first love male god again and said that it was false not to be moved, but the reason when chatting was also true, Han Xiu carried the best memories of her youth, so she was willing to make a "loss-making" investment, but this did not mean that she would not be sad and angry when others "kindly" reminded her that she was cheated of money.
This represents the shattering of good memories after all illusions have been exposed.
Fortunately, Han Xiu did not accept the money in the end, he kept his bottom line, got rid of the suspicion of the scumbag, and the life of the two people briefly intersected and then returned to the original point.
Eun Hee still participates in the fish market auction in the early hours of the morning every day, and Han Seol is also facing the failure of his education after seven years of hard work.
It is very real and warm, no matter how much embarrassment and embarrassment there are in the life of middle-aged people, it is always the most relaxed when sitting and chatting with friends who shared their brilliant youth when they were young.
When one day we walk into middle age, and then think back to the days when we were young, will we be annoyed or moved?
