Yu Li

Although it is the consensus that women's cool dramas are popular in the market, the popularity of the Korean drama "One The Woman" is still a bit surprising. Episode 2 had a rating of 7.1%, episode 3 saw a direct jump to 12.7%, and then the ratings rose steadily, with episode 7 already breaking 15%. Although the confrontation is "Black Sun" starring Nangong Min, who invested 12 billion won, "A Woman" still surpasses "Black Sun" in terms of ratings and topicality.

In fact, although the cast of "A Woman" is not weak - Li Honi became popular through "Extreme Profession" and "Blood Priest", Li Shangyun has been on the front line steadily; but at the beginning of the broadcast, the audience's expectations were not too high. Mainly from the perspective of setting, it is a "identity swap" that has long been used in Korean dramas. Nowadays, it has gradually become a hit, reflecting from the side that this drama is indeed good.

Zhao Yanzhu, played by Lee Ho Ni, is a female prosecutor who is both right and evil. When she first entered the workplace, she was a simple and hot-blooded idealist, but in the big dye vat, her cleanliness was out of place, but became a soft persimmon. Zhao Yanzhu was indignant and "transformed". Pat the horse's ass, she will also; collect money to do things, do more to get used to nature, and even she will take the initiative to remind the other party to give herself a "bribe"; complicity, has become her promotion shortcut...

Zhao Yanzhu

Of course, as the first heroine, she certainly can't be a "bad person", "bad" is just her protective color. As she told her admirers, she was a Schrödinger, and she didn't settle her personality lightly until the last moment. Zhao Yanzhu has never forgotten the unexpected death of her grandmother more than 10 years ago, and one of the reasons she tried to climb up is to investigate the truth of her grandmother's death.

The truth about Zhao Yanzhu's "bribery"

Jiang Meina, the daughter-in-law of the chaebol, also played by Li Honey, looks infinitely beautiful on the surface, but in fact, her position in the chaebol family is worse than that of the maid. Jiang Mei Na is also the daughter of a chaebol, and her husband's family is interested in the resources of her mother's family. However, after marriage, the husband's family found that Jiang Meina was an illegitimate daughter, and her use value was reduced. Whether it is the in-laws or sisters-in-law, they carry out all kinds of verbal demeaning and insulting to her; the mother-in-law will throw things at her and slap her at every turn; her husband also despises her, and goes outside to mess around, and peach-colored gossip is flying all over the place...

Jiang Meina

In order to eliminate Jiang Meina and seize the shares of her mother's family, someone created an accidental car accident against Jiang Meina. Yin and yang were mistaken, it was Zhao Yanzhu who was injured, and Jiang Mei Na just happened to escape her husband's family and go abroad. After losing her memory, Zhao Yanzhu was regarded as Jiang Meina, and Zhao Yanzhu also thought that she was Jiang Meina and lived in the chaebol's house.

The drama begins. Although Zhao Yanzhu has lost her memory, her IQ and personality will not lose her memory. She can be admitted to the prosecutor, her memory is excellent, her reasoning ability is first-class, and her IQ is always online; she has a hot temper, straight forward, uneven and sound. After becoming Jiang Meina, the people of the husband's family still wanted to bully Jiang Meina like before, how could Zhao Yanzhu swallow her anger.

The mother-in-law wanted to slap her, and Zhao Yanzhu grabbed her wrist and slammed it hard; several women in the family spoke foreign languages to exclude her, thinking that Jiang Mei Na still couldn't understand, but Zhao Yanzhu used fluent foreign languages to fight back at their "bad words"; she also treated her body in the way of a human being, said bad things about her mother-in-law in Vietnamese with her servants, and talked to herself in French in front of her sister-in-law... This time it was the turn of others to be stunned - what happened, how did Jiang Mei Na suddenly know three foreign languages after losing her memory?!

Everyone was surprised how Jiang Mei Na could understand foreign languages

In the face of the bullying of her husband's family, Zhao Yanzhu is always reasonable, sound and colorful, and even intensifies her efforts to recoil the past, and she is sassy and fierce. The deeper the oppression suffered by women, the stronger the feeling of coolness brought about by the resistance of the four sides, and the more people feel happy.

Zhao Yanzhu deliberately spoke French, and everyone could not understand the expression and was stunned.

After the accidental death of her family in a plane crash, Jiang Mei Na became the first heir of the family. All kinds of charms, including her husband's family, are eyeing her mother's career. Zhao Yanzhu opened a gorgeous career line for Jiang Meina, which became another source of coolness.

Zhao Yanzhu has been fighting monsters and upgrading all the way, inseparable from her intelligence, but also inseparable from the help of the domineering president Han Shengxu played by Li Shangyun and the junior milk dog An Youjun played by Li Yuangen. The career is hanging, and there are beautiful men all the way to send each other, which is indeed beautiful and refreshing.

Many clips of "A Woman" have been widely disseminated on Weibo and Douyin, not only because of the coolness of the plot, but also because of their strong comedic color. Although cool dramas are quite common, "A Woman" is not only cool, but also makes the audience laugh.

One of the essential sources of comedy is dislocation, which is to force a person to do something he is "not good at" in a comedic environment, thus forming a gap, a twist or a disorder that brings laughter to the audience. The identity swap in "A Woman" is a very typical dislocation.

Zhao Yanzhu, who has a rough and heroic personality, is forced to maintain a dignified and virtuous appearance, and she is not used to it; "greedy for money", she wakes up after losing her memory and becomes a rich woman, and cannot hide her joy; after learning that she is not Jiang Meina, Zhao Yanzhu does not know what her identity is, sometimes thinks that she is the underworld (because she is too capable of fighting), sometimes thinks that she is a liar (too eloquent, too natural), repeatedly spits on herself through inner monologues or self-talk, and all kinds of hatred is not made of steel...

Zhao Yanzhu was often frightened by her own cunning.

The more Unaccustomed, unsuitable, and unsuitable Zhao Yanzhu became, the more the audience laughed. Of course, the audience also knows that Zhao Yanzhu's plight is a small case, harmless, the audience's laughter is relaxed, no psychological burden and no moral burden, quite decompressing, just suitable for recreation.

After learning that she is really a prosecutor, Zhao Yanzhu's inner drama.

From "Extreme Occupation" to "A Woman", Li Honi's comedy performance has become more and more popular, and the moderate exaggeration in the performance does not seem to be contrary. "A Woman" is simply tailor-made for her, and she is too suitable for this type of person who is both good and evil, sassy and A, and sharp teeth.

Lee Ho Ni is a high-achieving student at Seoul National University and the winner of Miss Korea in 2006, not only beautiful, but also open in performance, not shy away from pretending to be ugly and funny. She will rely on "A Woman" to go to a higher level in her career.
