Why did "Flowers of Evil" become popular, and what is so good about it?
This is a romantic drama wrapped in the cloak of crime suspense. The male protagonist is the son of a serial murderer and is also a suspect in a certain murder case. The identity and the wife of the criminal policeman of the crime team fell in love and formed a seemingly happy family.
The wife fell in love with the husband at first sight, but she knew nothing about his past. They had a daughter after marriage, and the family lived a sweet life, but with the development of the plot, many things were not as simple as they appeared , the cruel past of the hero of also slowly surfaced, and the seemingly sweet family seemed to be "falling apart".
1. The plot is compact and the plot setting has been reversed many times. It is frightening but fascinating to watch. The plot has multiple reversals at the end of each episode, which can arouse the audience's interest and guide the audience to keep chasing it with curiosity.
The special identity of the male protagonist in the play - a suspected murderer at large, his father is a serial murderer, he is mistaken for anti-social personality traits, and he has inherited his father's emotional disorder, so he cannot feel the emotions of others like a normal person Emotions, anger, sorrow, joy, even after many years of marriage with the heroine, you still have to secretly practice expression management in front of the video, and express your own joy, anger, sorrow, and joy by observing the expressions of others.
and the heroine is a criminal police officer of the serious crime team with a wise mind, keen observation skills, vigorous skills and vigorous handling, breaking away from the silly, white and sweet Cinderella heroine setting in previous Korean dramas. This kind of character relationship makes the audience more frightened and exciting.
2. The acting skills of all the actors are online, and the fighting and crime scenes are enjoyable to watch. Lee Joon-ki who plays the leading role, in front of his wife and daughter he is a substitute for Baek Hee-sung, in front of outsiders he is Do Hyun who hides his identity, Lee Joon-ki's eye transformation is particularly in place, a second ago he was still warm at home The male image enters a cold and black-bellied state in the next second.
And the villain behind the scenesāā's real Bai Xicheng's acting skills are also impeccable. He performed the extreme of morbid psychology and the dark side of a murderous maniac, which made people feel both terrified and exclaimed.
is a crime suspense drama, which involves a lot of fighting scenes, is to make the audience feel more substituting and more authentic when watching it, Lee Joon Ki and many actors are required to play in person without a substitute . So when watching dramas, seeing fights or some crime scenes is very real and enjoyable.
3, the appearance of the male protagonist and the villain BOSS is online, and netizens call it "the three views follow the five senses"
Many people have watched this drama and started chasing Lee Jun-ki again, because his appearance is too much to stand the test of time .
Since "The King's Man" in 2005, he has become popular all over Asia because of his more charming appearance than women. Until this year's "Flower of Evil", which is popular again this year, he has an ageless appearance and increasingly mature acting skills . For Lee Jun Ki, the years have not been cruel to him. Now he still maintains the appearance and appearance of 15 years ago. .
In addition, the appearance of the villain boss Bai Xicheng in the play is not a problem. He interprets paranoid and morbid psychology superbly, but the audience is "confuse" by his facial features. Although the villain's cruel design is extremely chilling, but seeing Fans of the show still enjoy watching him with great looks, especially the drama between the male protagonist and the villain boss is even more "blood spurting", and it is enjoyable.
The ending of "The Flower of Evil" is not unfinished, the emotional redemption that the screenwriter wants to express is the sublimation of the theme
In fact, the screenwriter has buried many hidden lines in the play, each of which indicates that the male lead cannot be a murderer ( After all, there is the aura of the protagonist). Although he thinks that he lacks the empathy of ordinary people and does not know what love is, and he has been subjected to unfriendly prejudice and criticism from the outside world in his childhood, but this does not mean that he cannot have the right to happiness, nor does it mean that he cannot Be kind.
I believe that the screenwriter wants to use the last trace of goodness of human nature to resist the ugliness of human nature, and use that fragile love to save and heal the human nature hovering on the edge of hell.
1, the plot settings echoing from the beginning to the end have the finishing touch.
begins with the first episode. The male protagonist uses the identity of Bai Xicheng to love the female protagonist for many years. They lead an ordinary but happy life. He is doing his favorite metal craft work, and his wife is still She is a super-A female detective who is working hard on the front line, and she has a lovely and kind daughter. They are a happy family. Although he used white lies to hide himself, he didn't want his wife to know that he had many "stains" in the past.
In the last episode, although the male protagonist's memory of his wife in the past ten years has disappeared, but the familiar feeling towards his wife and the instinct to care for her and love her still exist. Although he rejected his wife at the beginning, he was afraid that such a self would not be able to protect her well, he had no confidence in himself, and he was afraid that his previous self would use his wife's feelings selfishly to stay with her. love her.
At the last moment, when he discovered that he named himself "the space where new stars stay", he really realized that although he had hidden his identity before, he loved his wife deeply without knowing it. Even though the former self could not perceive others However, because he loves his wifeāthe woman he cares about and wants to protect the most in this worldāhe has the ability to love, and has become a person with vitality, demands and expectations.
Therefore, "the space where the new star stays" is the place where the hero's new life begins, and it is also the place where he uses his real self and his wife to protect love again in the end. How beautiful it is, it not only echoes the previous plot, but also makes people feel that time has changed. Things are different, but the love for you remains the same, even deeper. I can't help but make people cry and feel a lot of emotion.
2, the meaning of "Flower of Evil" and the emotional redemption that the screenwriter wants to express
As for the title of "Flower of Evil", my understanding is that the hero is like a charming flower growing in an evil environment. The Lord discovered love, and through meticulous care and love irrigation, he finally broke through layers of psychological barriers, was surrounded by love, was redeemed and reborn, and bloomed in the most unrestrained form.
Although the screenwriter used the amnesia stalk, which made the audience a little confused, but I think the screenwriter used it very cleverly. Although he can't remember every little bit of getting along with his wife before, and he can't remember how he fell in love with his wife.
So he ran away from his wife, because he remembered the unfair treatment he had suffered in the past. His father was a serial murderer, his mother was killed by his father, and all the villagers in the village and schoolmates became enemies of their siblings. Everyone punished them with malicious eyes and prejudice. No one could stand on their side, and no one would believe them unconditionally. As a result, the male protagonist was cast with a lingering shadow since he was a child, and he saw through the selfishness of human nature. profit.
But his wife's love for him is unreserved. Even though she later found out that he had been cheating on her for more than 10 years, in the end she still forgave her husband because of love, and tried her best to help him find out the truth and return him justice. And the male lead's lost memory is unable to realize how much his wife loves him, and he has also forgotten how much he loved his wife unreservedly in the past, but he has experienced too many worst things in the world when he was a child , so he thought that no one would care about him so much and guard him.
Amnesia is not so much a stalk as a moral. slowly retrieved the lost self through the amnesiac hero, although it was a mistake at the beginning (should not deceive his wife with a lie to hide his identity), but in the end he started again, using his true identity to protect his wife and gain a real rebirth, It is also the sublimation of emotion to embody the salvation of human nature.
Conclusion
All in all, "Flower of Evil" is my favorite Korean drama this year, bar none!
