The first 15 episodes of this drama are all very exciting. On Sunday night, I suddenly saw a hot search on Weibo about "The Youngest Son of the Chaebol Family". When I opened it, I saw that it was all unfinished. Now that I couldn't stay up late, I couldn't bear to watch it. I only took the time to finish it on Monday afternoon.
After watching it, I felt that it was not as bad as I imagined, and the ending was handled much better than that of "Little Ladies". But I also understand the feelings of viewers who are very angry about the ending, because they are fully invested in Chen Daojun, so it is difficult to accept that Daojun died in the end and Hyunwoo survived.
If the ending is like this:
Daojun was saved from the car accident and successfully assumed the position of chairman of Shunyang after his recovery. Chen Xingjun, his son, his aunt, and his second uncle's family would not be able to get involved in the management rights. 4-1 is still happy to be a wealthy and idle person,
4@ has not had a gray hair overnight, the family's film and television company is getting bigger and bigger, Miracle branches are all over the world, "Donut" is still high-spirited, because the driver, Agent He, saved his life, later He never fell into despair, and he rose steadily in Shunyang. Daojun successfully got engaged, married, and had children with Prosecutor Xu, and lived happily...
But at some time every year, Daojun would return to that place, facing that place. Across the sea, he silently misses the Hyunwoo who was shot in the head in his previous life. The Hyunwoo who was poor for generations and struggled but was still mercilessly murdered. It is the experience of the past life that makes Daojun more empathetic to the poverty at the bottom, and reminds him that as a chaebol in this life, he must be a chaebol with a conscience.
Then the play ends.
Doesn’t this feel like a cool drama? Does this make it easier to be angry?
All of Daojun’s achievements are due to Hyunwoo’s experience, so why do so many people only accept Daojun’s survival but not Hyunwoo’s resurrection?
Because only Daojun can fully meet the mentality of some people who want to be strong, that kind of ideal rich third generation with good background, good talent, good luck, skill and conscience.
And feel that Xuanyou, who worked hard, does not deserve to be resurrected, but only deserves to die, only deserves to be remembered, and only deserves to be a tool man.
But the ending is that Hyunwoo survives, without the identity of a chaebol, relying on his own strength to unite with Representative Wu, and using his deep understanding of Shunyang's family over the years to finally fulfill Daojun's wish, and he also succeeds in revenge.
Isn’t this kind of dazzling talent an example of redeeming oneself and ordinary people changing their lives against fate?
Xuanyou only has a high school education, but he has been able to become the leader of Shunyang's financial team step by step. This is not something that can only be achieved through patience. He himself is a thoughtful and very capable person. After his rebirth, he is both a mentor and a Xuanyou.
There is a sentence in the play, do people really hate hereditary and privilege? No, they just hate themselves for not having the opportunity to enjoy this.
With an ending like this, aren't the screenwriters satirizing most people? Isn't the last episode of
closer to reality?
The best 20 years for a girl. Because her fiancé met with an accident, she dressed in black from then on and was known as "Shun Yang's messenger from the underworld";
Agent Wu never touched donuts again. He was discouraged and stopped contacting Shunyang. Anyone and anything, just because Shunyang destroyed his best partner;
Agent He once risked his life to save Daojun, and the desolation and vicissitudes on his face when he appeared in court made Xuanyou feel distressed and guilty;
The struggle between genius and talent is ultimately no match for the evil of human nature.
When watching a drama, everyone assumes different roles and naturally has different opinions. This is normal.
Just like many female viewers feel that if Daojun inherits the company, it will be the children of the outside wife who have robbed the property of the children of the main wife.
I’m afraid I have to ask the old chaebols if they agree? In Chen Yangzhe's heart, who is his favorite child? It's Shunyang. No one can replace this. You can also say that he doesn't really love any of his children. The only thing he loves most is Shunyang, who has devoted his whole life to them.
Over the past few decades, mediocre children have been embarrassed by big responsibilities. He tried countless times, but only his grandson qualified. Even so, he still left a clue for Director Li to let the director step on him and become the president. He knew that only such cruelty and ruthlessness could make him invincible.
My biggest motivation to follow this drama is Chen Yangzhe. After the death of the chairman, another source of happiness this drama brought me was Cui Son-in-law. Every time I see him hold his head high and say at a press conference that he is a chaebol sniper, he walks with wind, which is very joyful.
Li Xingmin plays Chen Yangzhe, and his acting skills are not inferior to Logan Roy in "Succession"; and the latter's actor Brian Cox won the 2020 Golden Globe Award Best Actor in a Drama Series for his outstanding performance in "Succession".
The dilemma faced by both is the same. As a founder, he spent his whole life building a huge business empire, but the children behind him were not as good as he wanted. None of them is a tiger-and-wolf figure like their father.
Chen Yangzhe cooperated with his old enemy Daying behind his second son's back. This was tantamount to openly betraying the family and his eldest brother. He found out and told Chief Li that the money earned from business comes first. How can he make money if he doesn't worry about his relatives and friends? Not angry at all.
As he was dying, he also hoped that Daojun could use the video of his ward to step on his grandfather and take over.
These are similar to Logan Roy's hope that his son can become a killer in "Succession".
Li Xingmin really performed the majesty of a generation of ambitious overlords. Every look and every scene is extremely brilliant. If the role of Logan Roy can win a Golden Globe Award, then I think Li Xingmin also has the same qualities.
Because of Lee Sung Min and the actors of this drama, regardless of whether the ending of episode 16 satisfies most people, I still give this drama a favorable review because the first fifteen episodes are so exciting.
