The most popular Korean drama recently is " The Young Son of the Chaebol Family ". The ratings have exploded, and the topic of various social platforms has exploded. This TV series finally ushered in the finale on December 25, but this ending was difficult for the majority of netizens to accept. It even reached the top of Weibo's hot searches.
This drama is a very traditional rebirth drama. The male protagonist was once the secretary of South Korea's top chaebol Soon Yang Group, but unfortunately he was involved in the chaebol family disputes. While performing family tasks, he was framed and died in a foreign country. But who would have thought that he would be reincarnated and become the youngest son of a chaebol family. With the memories of his previous life, he would use the golden finger of time travel to kill everyone. He would survive step by step in the family infighting and become the true master of the Shunyang Group, a large Korean chaebol.
According to the traditional routine, the final ending should be that the male protagonist succeeds in revenge, and then has a double harvest in love and career, and then reaches the pinnacle of life. However, this highly anticipated drama ended abruptly in the last episode, and the ending was set in the dream of the male protagonist. In the end, everything was just a dream of Yin Xianyu, and he was even forced to become an accomplice in the murder of his young son in the real world. It was treated as a dream, and I was still very moved after waking up.
Regarding the bad ending of the last episode, the Korean network was also in an uproar.
The simple summary is that it should have ended abruptly in episode 15, but it had to pick up where it left off. And the screenwriter didn't fill in many holes in the end. Episode 1: Why is the eldest grandson unwilling to inherit the family business? The second uncle's daughter is thought to be a key role in the early stages of creation, so why does she only have such a small role? Why is the main body an accomplice in killing Daojun, but why does he not remember Daojun's appearance?
It is also worth mentioning that the ending of the original novel: Daojun broke the endless cycle of fate, paid homage to himself at the place of his death, and successfully acquired Shunyang, realizing a truly righteous business.
In the past few years, the phenomenon of unfinished Korean dramas has often occurred. The previous " Cheese Trap ", " Black Talk Lawyer ", "cheer up", " Snow Drop Flower ", etc., have become the common impression of Korean dramas in the past two years.
If we look closely, we will find that a large part of the reason is because Korean dramas are different from our domestic model of filming and broadcasting later. They "shoot and broadcast at the same time."
Generally, a 16-episode Korean drama will only have about 4 episodes of scripts before it starts broadcasting. Other dramas only have a simple story outline. The screenwriter needs the scripts of the first few episodes to get the program funds from the production company and the TV station. Therefore, Korean screenwriters are also working hard on the early scripts, and "high-end" is also inevitable.
After the show is confirmed to be broadcast, the screenwriter will immediately start writing the remaining scripts. Based on the calculation of writing 4 episode scripts before the broadcast and 12 episode scripts after the broadcast, the average broadcast time of a drama is two months, and the average screenwriter has to write 1.5 episodes of scripts per week, and there is still time for filming and post-production, so the time will be very tight.
In a high-intensity and high-pressure writing environment, even a master-level screenwriter can easily fail.
Of course, if a TV series fails, you can’t just let the screenwriter take the blame. The production of TV series is actually a process of struggle among all parties. Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. When the Korean drama " surprising rumors " was launched, the ratings soared from 2.702% to 10.581%. This rating created the highest ratings since the launch of OCN. This was originally good news, but at this time, the screenwriter suddenly gave up. It is said that he was dissatisfied with the ending set by the director and management, and the drama ended hastily.
There are also TV series that are unfinished and the actors' schedules are not suitable. The screenwriters write the male protagonists to death, and there are also investors who withdraw their funds... In short, there are countless reasons for the TV series to be unfinished, but the screenwriters account for at least half of them.
