: If you want to talk about the Korean drama that opened the highest and ended low last year, it is the " Misty " that once popped up on social media.
Gao Huilan, the workplace queen news anchor played by powerful actress Kim Nam-joo, was decisive in the early plot and aura. The screenwriter even dug holes, and the grass snake gray line made the audience full of appetite.
However, the drama collapsed completely from the second half of the plot, with constant logical bugs, and the ending was even more reversal. The suspenseful opening of
and the bloody ending really disappointed the audience.
However, recently, the movie lover discovered a Korean crime drama that focuses on brain-burning cases to solve and suspense thriller plot reversal , and the male protagonist involved in this drama is also a news anchor.
Could this be another male version of "Mist"?
No, this drama is of course not that simple -
trap
Trap
This drama is produced by South Korea OCN TV, which is best at shooting suspense and criminal investigation themes.
Director is Park Shin-woo , who once filmed the Korean version of "White Night Walk", and the screenwriter is Nam Sang-woo, who created " Special Case Task Force TEN". Both of them are good at dealing with crime themes.
In terms of plot design, "Snare" adopts the setting of two male protagonists:
A National News anchor who lost his family because he fell into a mysterious trap.
is starring Korean popular actor Li Ruizhen .
, and the other is the old criminal policeman , who has been in charge of the case for many years, but now faces the dual dilemma of breaking up marriage and about to retire.
is starring the powerful veteran Korean actor and "Hansun Dad" in " Please Answer 1988".
, two powerful actors, coupled with the reliable behind-the-scenes team, have made this drama highly anticipated before it started.
The beginning of "The Snare" is a strong suspense. The story begins with a severely injured man being taken to the hospital by the police.
The man was already unconscious when he was discovered, and collapsed in blood on the side of a small road near the deep mountain. The driver passing by late at night discovered him and immediately called the police.
A man in a coma was sent to the hospital for emergency rescue, the doctor found that the man had multiple knife wounds and fractures on his body, his tongue was cut off, and he was also infected with snake venom.
But even though he was seriously injured, the man refused the doctor's treatment just after he recovered from consciousness in the ward. Instead, he had to find the police to record his confession. He struggled to type out his request with the keyboard:
to save my wife and children!
This man who appeared so tragically is the male protagonist Jiang Yuxian (played by Li Ruizhen). The whole drama revolves around the memories of the male protagonist when he recorded his confession and the police's investigation of the case. The two main plot lines are narrated.
Kang Woo Hyun was a national news anchor in South Korea and was highly trusted by the people. There are even rumors that he is about to enter politics.
But two years ago, he was fired for taking the lead in holding a TV strike. He then transformed into a professional media person and founded his own broadcasting training company.
plus his character as a pioneer of justice that he once created in the news media makes him quite famous in the industry.
Now that he is middle-aged, he not only has a successful career, but also has a wife, Shin Yeon-soo (played by Xu Yingji) who is also a TV host, and his 9-year-old son Shi Yu.
However, what I didn't expect was -
, a life winner with a smooth family career, will suddenly suffer misfortune.
Before the incident, it was the tenth anniversary of Jiang Yuxian and his wife's marriage.
To celebrate, the hero plans to take his wife and children to the mountain for vacation, but because of a heavy rain, they have to stop and shelter from the rain.
In order to shelter from the rain, the family of three came to a cafe in the mountains. The fat boss in the cafe warmly welcomed them.
But from the beginning of entering the door, his wife Shin Yeon-soo felt very uneasy.
There is actually a luxuriously decorated cafe in the wilderness. The room is filled with various animal decorations and snakes are also raised.In addition, two guests in black also looked mysterious.
Jiang Yuxian once served in the military service. He was a little distracted by his wife's nervousness, but he didn't know that -
Their family has become prey in the "trap" since they stepped into the cafe.
First, Jiang Yuxian's children and his wife disappeared one after another. Jiang Yuxian, who was anxious to go into the mountain to find her, found that there was no signal on the phone at all, and gunfire seemed to be heard in the woods in the distance.
Jiang Yuxian was so panicked that he recalled the black-clad guests who entered the mountain with hunting rifles in the cafe.
, but the fat boss denied it, claiming that there had never been a customer in the store.
Jiang Yuxian was trying to force the fat boss to ask, but was subdued by the other party. It was not until this time that the fat boss showed his fierceness.
He told the male protagonist:
I want to play a game with you!
It turns out that this is a hunting game.
The other party kidnapped Jiang Yuxian's wife and children, locked them in two places in the mountains, and threatened him not to call the police, otherwise the lives of his wife and children would be difficult to protect.
Jiang Yuxian must choose to save his wife first or to save the child first. If you want to save someone successfully, you must escape the pursuit of those hunters with hunting rifles and crossbows.
In other words -
The wife and children became baits to trap prey, and the prey was Jiang Yuxian himself.
Hunting officially begins.
But the "hunters" in charge of hunting obviously underestimated the skills and mind of this news anchor who once served in a special department of the army.
With the strategy of beating around the world, Jiang Yuxian told the coffee shop owner to save his wife himself, but in fact he went to find his son first.
But after all, the strength is very different. Even though the male protagonist tried his best, he still failed to save his wife and children and suffered various tortures.
In the end, only Jiang Yuxian successfully escaped the pursuit.
Jiang Yuxian, who woke up in the hospital, was diagnosed with selective amnesia. It seems that in this hunting game of "anti-killing" and "anti-killing" -
Some unknown things happened, which eventually led to a great mental blow. As a result, he lost his memory...
On the other hand, following the limited transcript of testimony provided by Jiang Yuxian to the police, the local police also investigated the case.
But after all, the victim is a well-known public figure. The police were worried that the incident would be too involved after it was exposed, so they had to secretly block the news, not allow any news reports or outsiders to intervene, and then secretly enter the mountain to conduct search and rescue. This missing case attracted the attention of a local rural policeman, Officer Gao (played by Cheng Dongri), who turned out to be an experienced old detective.
Officer Gao was once famous in the police force. In terms of qualifications and abilities, he should have become the captain of the criminal police force.
But his personality changed drastically due to an unexpected change a few years ago, and his wife also separated from him. Yishang has not been promoted yet and will retire next month.
Officer Gao inferred that the murderer behind this case must have come to the victim Jiang Yuxian. So a small policeman who has been following him for many years but has been often excluded in the police force, helped investigate Jiang Yuxian's mobile phone records and interpersonal relationships.
But what I didn't expect was -
In the hospital that night, the policeman fell down from the upper floor while talking on the phone with Officer Gao.
The police's body was not found, and the surveillance was out of power at the time, and the police force was also asked to ask Officer Gao not to care about the matter anymore.
At this time, Officer Gao realized that the case was much more dangerous than expected.
At the same time, in order to solve the case, the police transferred Yin Shuying (played by Lin Huaying) from the Seoul Police Department.
As the appearance of this drama, the heroine Yoon Shuying is a famous policewoman in Seoul. Even the police filmed the promotional videos, she was the heroine. At the same time, she was also a new star in the police industry who saw through children's serial murderers in five seconds.
In the eyes of the old criminal police officer Gao, who has practiced his true knowledge for many years, he naturally looks down on such a vase female policewoman who is just a fledgling cottage who only understands theories, so the first meeting between the two was not pleasant.
The heroine's psychological profile of the case was only received by Officer Gao's sarcastic comment:
In my opinion, there are at least 100 loopholes.
Although the first meeting was not pleasant, the two detectives, one old and one young, were jointly investigated, and they were approaching the real culprit of the case step by step.
However, as the investigation deepens, the truth seems to be becoming more and more confusing.
At the beginning, the police officer Gao and his friends suspected were the beautiful female secretary Kim Shi-hyun (played by Lee Joo-bin) beside Jiang Yu-hyun.
Secretary Jin seems arrogant and cold on the outside, but he cares too much about his boss. Obviously, the relationship between the two is not ordinary.
And she seemed to want to hide many secrets. When the police asked the truth about the male protagonist in the hospital, Secretary Jin not only blocked the police from investigating, but also subconsciously said a key testimony:
Do you want the victim (the male protagonist) to die too?
This subconscious words aroused the suspicion of Officer Gao. After all, the police have not found the body of the hero's missing wife and child, but Secretary Jin has obviously known the fact that they have died.
There is also the male protagonist's wife Shin Yeon-soo who has been missing for many days, which is also suspicious.
In fact, the relationship between the male protagonist and his wife is in harmony, but in order to maintain their love for each other in front of outsiders, his wife Shin Yeon-soo also adopted a child who is not related by blood.
During the investigation, the police discovered an extramarital affair between her and billionaire Hong, who is the behind-the-scenes partner of Jiang Yuxian's company.
This representative of Hong is from a prominent background and often does charity. He is very influential in both political and business sessions. It seems that he has the ability and resources to run this sinful "hunting" game.
What is even more confusing is that
The male protagonist not only knows the fact that his wife cheated, but is even quietly monitoring the every move of his wife and representative Hong, as if he is planning something in secret.
This hunt full of conspiracy and killing, who is the person in a trap?
The drama has only been broadcast to the fourth episode, but the screenwriter has been digging holes. It seems that every character in the play has an ulterior motive.
Why can Jiang Yuxian escape alone? What is the female secretary hiding? What did Police Gao experience in the past? What is the purpose of the "Hunter" organization?
These questions affect the audience's curiosity, and some netizens even boldly speculated:
Perhaps this "trap" is simply Jiang Yuxian's self-directed and acted by him, and he is the werewolf!
The entire drama continues the usual cold and dark style of OCN works and the production level comparable to movies. It also combines criminal suspense, detective reasoning, thriller revenge, political struggle, power and money transactions and other elements. It is a very dark and violent cold and hard-core thriller suspense drama.
. In the eyes of Miyingjun, the most conscientious thing about this drama is that
has only 7 episodes in the whole drama, so there is no need to worry about the delay in the later plot and being poured into water!
