The Korean drama "Anna" can be said to be unique in terms of rhythm and form. The sentence will be repeated at the beginning of each episode: is the same every time, as long as I make up my mind, I can do it. The opening scenes and lines of the first episode are very powerful. Throwing the burning bag into the crashed private car is a very cool scene, and the heroine is full of aura. The next monologue is also very powerful and lethal, and the audience feels that it is coming: people will write lies even in diaries that only they can read.
And at the end of each episode, everyone in the screenwriting industry likes to talk about management, and it is also done well. The first episode ends with Yumi escaping from Anna's house, which foreshadows the adventure of living as Anna in the future; at the end of the second episode, just as Yumi is flourishing as Anna, she finds herself living with Anna. In the same building, they happened to meet in the elevator; at the end of the third episode, the ex-boyfriend who once knew Yumi's false life, as a senior, revealed the lies Yumi had told herself to Jiwon, who Yumi had always called her senior sister; and At the end of the fourth episode, through the news broadcast on the TV, the company logo was revealed, which should imply the "suicide" of Zhen Anna.
The core content of the story will remind you of the Japanese drama " Tokyo Girls' Illustrated Book " and the Korean movies "Kim Ji Young in 1982" and "Parasite" etc. Many Korean dramas with urban themes are based on class consciousness. Originally, the story is about people's identity, and the contrasting techniques used in the play are very exciting and intuitively trigger people's thinking.
For example, at the stage when she did not use the identity of Anna, Yumei started to help Hyun Joo (Anna) in her home. Later, because she pretended to be Anna and entered the upper class society and married into politics, her identity was changed. When she came to a familiar house again, In front of the restaurant, she saw her former self in her husband's female secretary.

The strong contrast of a group of shots is impactful and clever, containing multiple layers of meaning. The real Anna who first sat in the back row has now become the Anna pretended by Yumi, but only Yumi knows who Anna is. And they all sit in the same position, on the right side of the back row. The driver's seat used to be Yumei, but now she is her husband's secretary; Yumei, now pretending to be Anna, watched from the window on the right side of the car as the secretary ran over and told her to go upstairs for dinner. And once upon a time, the person who ran over to communicate with Zhen Anna was Yumi, who was dressed in a black uniform.
In the montage editing of these two sets of shots, the core content of the story is very cleverly strengthened in this set of scenes. In the identity transformation, we can see that Yumi, who has gained status and power, has also begun to undergo a new transformation through this identity. It is also a kind of game between Yumi's real body and Anna's identity.
Under the protection of Anna's identity, she began to do things and actions that she had not dared to do before, such as facing her aunt who asked for leave. It was during the period of frustration that she did not know how to face the real Anna, and she vented her anger. Attentive viewers actually saw the comparison again, but the camera did not switch. You need to recall your own memory. What Yumi said to her aunt seemed familiar, because that was what Anna's father said angrily when Yumi asked for leave.
When she saw the female secretary who suddenly appeared standing there without daring to breathe, she realized that she had lost her composure. On the one hand, she did not want the secretary to think that she was a hot-tempered person. On the other hand, she knew that she had just been The result of being too involved in the drama as Anna. And once she faced the existence of her true body, the timidity in her heart was aroused.She would kneel down in front of Anna, and when she went home, she would not take the elevator, but would climb more than 20 floors back home alone.
At the same time, as Anna said, Yumei is smart. In order to pay for the 3 billion won debt she promised, she made good use of her status as the wife of the mayoral candidate to run down the road and earn a bag of money. Suddenly she got the real deal. Is the news of Anna's death a good thing for her? She has seen what kind of person her husband is who is domineering in the political world. She once kicked the driver's legs more than once until he knelt down because he was late. Although she successfully entered the upper class as Anna, she still has to accept more challenges in her life.

There are naturally many doubts about the suicide of Zhen Anna, that is, Hyun Joo. First of all, it seems that Hyun Joo's death is beneficial to Yu Mi, so everyone will doubt whether Yu Mi did it. But if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is unlikely. If you wanted to do it, you would have done it long ago. In addition, for the sake of 3 billion, I have been traveling around to make money, but I can’t persist at this time? Simply put, Yumi is not stupid enough to kill anyone.
But does Hyun Joo look like a suicidal person? Although she is burdened with foreign debts, she is threatening Yumi. She is so aggressive, and suddenly she can't wait and seeks death? This obviously doesn't make sense. Finally, in the fifth episode, scandals about husband Choi Ji-hoon’s political career and Li Anna’s copying of papers became hot topics. The conversation between the two revealed the truth about Anna's death.
The plagiarism incident was originally true, but it involved his wife. It can also be said that it almost directly affected Cui Zhixun's election as mayor, so Cui Zhixun must do his best to settle this matter. As she spoke, Yumei understood that Hyunjoo had boldly contacted Cui Zhixun. Yumei was shocked and did not ask. The two of them had a tacit understanding, which meant that Cui Zhixun had found someone to kill Hyunzhu; Yumei was even more surprised. Unfortunately, Cui Zhixun also killed his ex-wife for the sake of his career.
The sixth episode ends, continuing the scene that appeared at the beginning of the first episode. On one side, Yumei's senior sister was blocked while reporting and climbed onto the window sill. The situation was urgent. On this side, Yumei did not expect that Cui Zhixun was going to take her to a so-called nursing home and put her under house arrest. Because of this, she couldn't stay by her side even when her mother died. The camera looks at Cui Zhixun from Yumi's perspective several times, such as not fastening his seat belt. Yes, Yumi is looking for murder.
The appearance of a deer gave Yumi an opportunity. Cui Zhixun was confused. Under Yumi's obstruction, it can be said that a car accident happened as she wished. The text message sent by her senior sister and the lighter found accidentally in her bag prompted her to Set the bag on fire, throw it into the car, and kill the newly appointed evil mayor. At the end, when Yumi found a place to live in the suburbs of the United States, when she lit the stove with firewood, she connected the previous scene of the burning car. The flames reminded you of "Burning" by Lee Cangdong , and switching back to the fire in the furnace represents the transition from destruction to destruction. Towards rebirth.
