Thank you Netflix for "never giving any opinions, just giving you money".

As a Korean drama fan who has been at the bottom of the "chain of contempt" all year round, I think that in 2021, I can finally feel proud.

Last week, at the "See What's Next Korea 2021" press conference, Netflix announced nearly 10 Korean dramas in one go. Among them, there are all kinds of themes such as space, zombies, science fiction, etc., and the total investment even reached an astonishing 550 billion won (approximately RMB 3.2 billion). The cast of

is also very luxurious. It is nothing new in the East Asian film and television industry for movie actors to "go down to Earth" to film online dramas. However, among these 10 Korean dramas, there are actually many top movie actors who don't worry about scripts...except for Jun Ji-hyun, who is well-known to Chinese audiences. , Gong Yoo , Bae Doona , as well as Yoo Ah In who just captured "Blue Dragon" for the second time, " Chungmuro big shot", and actor Lee Jung Jae .

Netflix has always been the best "Party A". Kim Eun-hee, the screenwriter of " kingdom " once mentioned: "Netflix never expresses any opinions, only gives money." So, let us take a look at what new dramas the wealthy Netflix has invested in this time:

" squid game " 》

Type: Suspense/Thriller

Starring: Lee Jung Jae/ Park Hae Soo /Heo Sung-tae...

A story setting similar to "Fraud Game", director Hwang Dong-hyuk of " Furnace ", and starring Park Hae-soo of "Wit Cell Life" are added Gong Yoo makes a cameo... With so many "exemption tags", "Squid Game" has been duly included in the must-see list.

The protagonists of the play are a group of "losers". In order to win the prize, they participated in a survival game with a prize of up to 40 million US dollars. The location is unknown and the gameplay is unknown. The only information the participants know is that the game will not truly end until the final winner is produced.

"Squid Game" is actually a folk game in Korea. The gameplay is similar to the "hopscotch" we played when we were children. It is named because the grid has square and round shapes, and the overall shape is like a "squid". I wonder how such a children's game will be closely related to the story?

"Hell"

Type: Supernatural/Horror

Starring: Yoo Ah In/ Kim Hyun Joo /Park Jung Min...

" Hell " stills

"Squid Game" has the director of "The Crucible", and "Hell" has Director Yeon Sang-ho of " Train to Busan ".

This is a comic adaptation. In the original comic, there is a supernatural phenomenon that is unknown whether it is a miracle or a curse. Some people understand it as "hell", and a group of people created the new religion "New Truth Society" and believe that it is "the will of God".

In the play, Yoo Ah-in will play the leader of the "New Truth Society", while Park Jung-min will be the TV station PD "Bae Youngjae" who is responsible for exposing the truth. Those who like Yoo Ah-in may wish to pay more attention, after all, this is his second appearance in a drama series about 4 years after " Chicago Typewriter ", and he has shown long hair style for the first time. The first season has a total of 6 episodes. Looking at this grand background, it may not be clear in one season.

"Sea of Silence"

Type: Science Fiction/Thriller

Starring: Bae Doona/Gong Yoo/Lee Joon

Stills of "Sea of Silence"

The last two movies can only be said to be related to Gong Yoo, and finally there is one starring him.

"Sea of Silence" seems to be a dystopian drama: in the story setting, the future world has encountered a desertification crisis, and humans who lack food and water have to go to the moon to find a glimmer of hope. Kong Liu and Bae Doona will play astronauts in the play. Kong Liu is the exploration captain, Bae Doona is a doctor of astrobiology, and our male god Jung Woo-sung will serve as the producer of the play.

The cast of the whole drama is a major attraction. Some netizens joked that "it's so good that even a cross talk would look great." But what’s even more worth looking forward to is the special effects of the show. Bae Doona once specifically praised it in an interview, saying that the set made everyone "never forget to sigh during filming."Since the performance of this year's Korean science fiction movie "Victory" was really poor, I can only sincerely hope that "Sea of Silence" can live up to the efforts of the leading actors. After all, this costume weighs 4 kilograms per shoe, and Bae Doona will be stunned as soon as she puts it on. "Trypophobia attack", "Can't breathe".

"Kingdom: Osin in the North"

Type: Zombie/Thriller

Actor: Jun Ji-hyun/ Park Byung-eun

"Kingdom" series needless to say, as of now, it is still There were no signs of rollover.

will continue " kingdom 2", taking the mysterious female warrior (played by Jun Ji-hyun) who appeared at the end of the previous film as the protagonist of the new season, telling the story of her fighting through the zombie hordes and growing into a warrior. "Axin Chapter" is a spin-off of the "Kingdom" series. It lasts about 70 minutes and is in post-production work. Director Kim Sung-hoon once said: "Jun Ji-hyun is an actor who does not need to be said. I knew when filming for the first time in Jeju Island that "Kingdom: Oshin of the North" will show its charm." and guaranteed that this year the audience will be able to See the full movie.

Due to cast schedules, the third season of "Kingdom" will not be available to the audience until two or three years later. Impatient viewers can first watch "Kingdom: Ashin of the North" to get some relief.

"Our School Is Now"

Genre: Horror/Thriller

Starring: Yoon Chan-young /Park Ji-hoo/Cho Yi-hyun

"Our School Is Now" stills

With the experience of "Kingdom", I believe Netflix's second zombie drama will not be too boring. collapse.

Different from the ancient costumes of "Kingdom", the place where zombies gather this time will be moved to the campus: in a high school that lacks supplies and bunkers, some people bravely save people, while others kill each other in order to survive...

"Now We School" is also a comic drama. The original comic is called "Our school is now...", also known as " Extreme Panic ". It is very popular on Naver and is even called a "masterpiece". Some readers commented that the most rare thing about this work is that it truly depicts the goodness and ugliness of human nature. "This comic tells you in a true way: without a savior, no one can come to save you. You have to rely on tacit cooperation and sincere love." Friendship, and extraordinary courage and courage (talent Survive). There are no selfish people in this team. They learned to survive among a group of zombies and learned to love each other for their own feelings and beliefs that may be insignificant in the eyes of the world.”

《Move. to Heaven: I am the Organizer of Relics"
Type: Healing/Humanity

Starring: Lee Je-hoon /Tang Jun-sang/Yu Dong-hoon

"Move to Heaven: I am the Organizer of Relics" stills

For the content of this drama, watch You can understand it from the title. There are only two protagonists in particular. One lacks trust in the world and has no motivation to live. The other suffers from Asperger's syndrome (characterized by social difficulties and narrow interests) and is disabled. The two set up a relic collection company together, making money while saving each other.

It looks a bit like a Japanese drama. It can be expected that the whole drama will be full of touching and tenderness. If it were made into a unit drama, it might be like "Abnormal Death", using an occupation as a starting point and focusing on a truly universal topic: What will be left after a person dies? When death finally visits, what will we see? The subject matter of

is very suitable for writing reports (manual @our company's special team), and it is easy to make a drama into a good movie.

"D.P The Day of the Dog"

Type: Growth/Thriller

Starring: Jung Hae-in/Son Seok-joo/Kim Sung-jun

Xiaoding, who has been involved in love dramas for a long time, is finally going to do it this time Break through yourself and start "catching deserters".

The protagonist of "The Day of the Dog" is an ordinary private serving in the military. One day, he is suddenly ordered to become a member of the "Escape from the Army Arrest Team", responsible for arresting young people who have escaped from the army.I have to admire the Korean drama's acceptance of sensitive themes. If it were filmed according to the original comics, the cruelty and human rights issues within the Korean military would be brought to the screen.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Ding also has another drama worth looking forward to, which is "Snow Drop Flower" in collaboration with JISOO, a member of the girl group BLACKPINK. The broadcast date is also this year, and it is waiting to be launched!
