As we all know, one of the themes that Korean dramas are good at is exposing the collusion of Guan businessmen and the corruption of the privileged class. However, in Netflix's latest Korean drama, the method of achieving class ascension for the lowest class has become a backdoor.
Can't guess, Scarlett is talking about "Doom Knight".
This Netflix Korean drama starring Song Seung-hyun and Kim Woo-bin soared to the second place in Netflix in the world on the first day of its launch.
This mainly depends on the sci-fi theme stepping on the hi point of Western audiences, the real word-of-mouth ranking, and you have to see the ranking a few weeks later.
Previous:Scarlett introduced you to the hard wounds and rhythm of this show, and the best essence is in episodes 3 and 4.
That's it? Douban 6.0! Also Netflix second in global ratings?
Today I will tell you about the essence of the third episode.
When you watch the first two episodes four times faster, you should see that this is a drama with the theme of class antagonism.
As a refugee, the lowest level of society, April wanted to work as a courier so that he could be employed by rich people, have a house to live in, and have something to eat.
It's like you want to take the exam, want to enter the system, want an iron rice bowl, and want the government to control you to death in the future.
How to get the courier test?
A refugee in April would have been unrelated, just as you first arrived in a big city without a relative.
However, God made the devil worse. The male protagonist in the play, Kim Woo Bin, is also a courier from a refugee and the leader of the couriers.
Why he took a fancy to April and had to bring the whole team to help April train this point, the screenwriter did not say.
I speculated that the screenwriter wanted a squid-like fight, and then made such a game.
Of course, you can understand that everyone comes out of one place, so huddle. Like when you go out to look for a job, you will always look for a relationship with your fellow countrymen?
Kim Woo-bin took a dozen refugee-turned-couriers to help April train, which was actually a proper shortcut.
That is to say, you have to compile the exam, and then the team of teachers who write the questions will give you all the questions and answers, including the interview, including the preferences of the examiner, and help you train. If you still can't enter, God really wants to change the male lead.
Memorizing the exam questions to make the paper is something that everyone should pass.
April's hanging is open, and it doesn't make people empathize with his suffering.
After all, there are so many refugees, why did he say that he wanted to take the exam, so everyone revolved around him?
Isn't what he defeated on the field also refugees and people from the general district? Doesn't everyone eat together? Why do we have to empathize because his male partner took the script of the male protagonist?
This shows that information is too important.
Other contestants will certainly not know what levels will be. I don't know how to respond to the exercises, no matter how you simulate, it's not as useful as the real question.
Of course, maybe the other contestants have one kind or another relationship, but behind April, there are more than a dozen teachers behind the question to help him.
Fighting for resources and relationships, it is no surprise that he won.
The courier exam is actually a way to achieve a class leap.
Originally a refugee, passed the exam to become a courier.
Corresponding to the current situation in South Korea, it is equivalent to a young man born in the civilian class, after a chilling effort, passed the judicial examination, became a prosecutor, became a lawyer, entered the system, and achieved a class leap.
The couriers' investigation of the Chimyung Group is tantamount to prosecutors from civilians in the South Korean prosecutorial system breaking the privileges of the established hierarchy and demanding a reallocation of resources.
Qianming Group represents the chaebol.
In this way, the whole drama seems to be shrouded in the meaning of "fighting local tyrants and dividing fields", but it is not very thorough. After all, he also came up through the back door.
Everyone who wants to make a class leap has their own reasons.
Some want money, some want fame, and some want profit.
In order to weaken the fact that April is actually going through the back door, the screenwriter described the original intention of April to test the editor and not test the courier as a little dream + a little bit to avenge friends and track down the truth, which can make the audience more empathetic.
In the universal values of most audiences, the protagonist needs a little aura of truth, goodness and beauty.
The protagonist is the idealized audience himself, and the audience will substitute the perspective of the protagonist.
That's why it's rare to portray how good a bad guy is, and it's hard for the audience to convince themselves that they're a bad guy. When many people do bad things, they agree with themselves deep down and will falsely convince themselves that the results are good, so I am also a good person who does this.
In short, when April won the game, the spectators who expected him to make a difference could rest, and in the end he did nothing, just draw blood for you and fell into a coma. Looking back on the direction of this plot is thick ridiculous.
The reason why I also analyzed it is because the point of achieving a class leap is actually a social pain, obviously the screenwriter has touched it, but his hand slipped and overturned, which is a pity. Basically, what explosive points are stuffed into some dramas, how can Korean science fiction be filmed like this? What a pity.
