I thought it was a dark suspense Korean drama, and I laughed at my abdominal muscles in minutes! Lee Dong Wook played an 8-point explosion
When we talk about famous Korean Mesozoic actors, we have to mention Lee Dong Wook, who is famous for her immortal beauty.
In 2005, starring in "My Girl" exploded, and the corner of Xue Gongcan became the standard for countless girls to choose a spouse; In 2016, "Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghosts", the messenger of Yin Cao was refreshed to a new level of cuteness, and several generations of sadism with Sunny earned enough tears from the audience.
In 2019, "Others are Hell" became a phenomenal explosion, and all the villains set up+madly approved killer characters, which made people want to stop. Recently, starring in the new drama "Evil and Madness" is a challenge to the "double-faced personality" of the elite police, bringing the audience the story of Gao Shuang, who scored 8.2 points as soon as she went online.
First, dark suspense stories
In Evil and Madness, Lee Dong Wook plays Liu Xiuyue, a policeman who has climbed all the way from the bottom and finally got a chance to be promoted to the head of the major crimes unit. He is a hypocritical philistine.
At the beginning, I tried the exciting picture of Jin policeman, who is also a policeman, and asked him why he wanted to kill his companion Zhuo Minshui policeman. It seems to be seeking justice for the deceased Zhuomin water police, but it is actually a show for the police chief. Because the director had a personal feud with the interrogated police officer Jin, and Liu Xiuyue was trying to please her boss regardless of the existence of the bottom line, a few cameras were set up and stood firm.
However, things are unpredictable. In the process of promotion, a related household was killed, which led to the place that originally belonged to Liu Xiuyue. In order to get back the quota, Liu Xiuyue reached a cooperation with the powerful congressmen through the bridge of his superiors: Liu Xiuyue helped Councillors to deal with the disaster of "beating the police" committed by his younger brother, so as not to affect the political election, and Councillors guaranteed Liu Xiuyue’s promotion.
From here on, the story of Evil and Madness officially entered the high-energy stage. Under the double-line narrative, the case of Du Councilman’s brother beating the police and the disappearance of drug addict Zheng Jun ‘e were closely linked — —
The beaten policeman named Wu Jingtai was viciously attacked by his brother, who was also a policeman, while tracing the cause of Zheng Jun ‘e’s disappearance. Obviously, Wu Jingtai was not allowed to continue the investigation. When dealing with this case, Liu Xiuyue actually found something wrong, but she finally chose to ignore it for fame and power.
At this time, it was the turn of the mysterious K. Every appearance is a hilarious form of "beating up Liu Xiuyue", accusing Liu Xiuyue of ignoring justice to help others.
Liu Xiuyue was forced by the mysterious person K to find the truth of the case together, and the stories of high-energy units, such as disregard for human life, a political high-ranking congressman, colluding with drug dealers to make profits, and the existence of an umbrella for drug dealers in the police station, continued to unfold, and the police in the black system of the South Korean government were bold and dared to shoot again.
In addition to the genre of unit stories, the whole story of Evil and Madness is connected in series by the same story line: Zheng Jun ‘e, a woman who was killed by a member of parliament, was an anti-drug informant who died at the beginning of Zhuomin Water Police; The gold policeman who was accused of killing Zhuo Minshui police was not a good person either. He had already reached a deep cooperative relationship with Councillor Du and the drug trafficking groups behind him, and even had something to do with the death of Zhuo Minshui police.
In the case of a large number of characters, the series did not give the audience a sense of confusion. But through multi-line narrative, the characters appear one after another, and the pace is very fast. After all the characters appeared, they closed the net bit by bit, followed the perspective of Liu Xiuyue and the mysterious man K to trace the truth, and connected all these clues in series. Finally, when they revealed the secret, there was quite a pleasure in solving the mystery.
Second, nonsense absurd comedy
When the first episode was first broadcast, the audience thought that the mysterious man K who always appeared suddenly was a Korean enthusiastic citizen. Because he hated Liu Xiuyue’s bourgeois attitude of "bowing to power", he repeatedly beat Liu Xiuyue up and forced him to investigate the case with himself.
It was not until the last 5 minutes of the second episode that the screenwriter finally understood that Liu Xiuyue, a hypocritical philistine, and the mysterious K were the same person.
Under this setting, the series quickly became nonsense and absurd: Liu Xiuyue wanted to cover up the truth, but K wanted to punish the wicked, so she kicked the murderer in the face in front of everyone, and the scene was once very hilarious.
K always ran away after the disaster, so that Liu Xiuyue had to clean up the mess. From making an apology to Councillor Du, I went to the river at night to find evidence that could prove Councillor Du’s crime, and I was soaked to the skin. Coupled with Liu Xiuyue’s helplessness, she sat by the river and said to herself, "My life is finished and ruined." All the pictures revealed a sense of joy.
On this side, it is the love and killing between Liu Xiuyue and the second personality K. When trapped in the elevator, K suddenly appeared the line "Do you miss me so much" to make the audience laugh at the abdominal muscles; When K rode a motorcycle to force Liu Xiuyue to investigate the truth of the case, Liu Xiuyue said, "How can I walk backwards?" The picture of the collapse was even more funny when it was said twice in a row.
The funniest thing is that in order to make K disappear, Liu Xiuyue is willing to believe in the unreliable idea therapy of the half-assed psychologist, chanting "Only I am the real guy is an illusion" while posing strange gestures, and the absurd atmosphere is full of nonsense.
On the other hand, there is a "magical love triangle" between Liu Xiuyue, the second personality K and Liu Xiuyue’s ex-girlfriend Li Xiqian. Liu Xiuyue has broken up with Li Xiqian, but K fell in love with Li Xiqian at first sight. Every night, K will secretly ride out to send flowers to Li Xiqian while Liu Xiuyue is asleep. When Li Xiqian was mistaken for a murderer, he wrote one childish love letter after another to comfort him. Every time I meet Li Xiqian, I am very shy.
It seems that the love triangle is presented in the form of dual personality, but it actually conveys the romantic love core of "people who like it will not like it only once", and at the same time, there are many comedy elements to bless, and the whole process of watching the drama is very comfortable.
Third, evil and madness
Finally, let’s get back to the original intention of the setting that the protagonist in Evil and Madness is a "double-faced personality". Obviously, this setting is based on the movie Fight Club, with the intention of completing the discussion of evil and madness in the process of the second personality leading the main personality to break the rules crazily.
Liu Xiuyue undoubtedly represents "evil". Fully aware of the dark crimes of power and political parliamentarians, but pretending not to see them; Even in cases where justice needs to be done again, as long as the other party gives enough money, they will sew up their mouths. Bow to the superior, panic and admit your mistake when you are caught, and live a false image of a bad policeman.
The second personality K is synonymous with "madness". I’m K from HIJK, crazy and cute. When I took off my motorcycle helmet for the first time and appeared in front of the audience, I was accompanied by a high-burning line: I specialize in executing hopeless scum, and I am the last hero of our time. Almost instantly, the atmosphere became dry. Every time Liu Xiuyue can’t successfully deal with criminals, K will just appear, and the criminals will be beaten with fists and meat. Although it is evil against evil and violence against violence, it seems to be cool enough to take off.
In the first half of the story, it was the second personality K that forced Liu Xiuyue to trace the truth of the case, and there was coercion in it. However, with the continuous development of the story, the powerful and powerful embarrassed Liu Xiuyue’s family and his ex-girlfriend Li Xiqian to be framed as murderers, and Liu Xiuyue began to have the idea of confronting the powerful and the dark forces. It is no longer Liu Xiuyue who said that "people who have no power can only kneel and apologize", but completely reconciled with the second personality K and became both good and evil.
Here, the idea of the drama "Evil and Madness" is clearly revealed. It is Gao Shuang when Liu Xiuyue punched and kicked evil people, and it is also the irony and exposure that "justice can only be recovered by violent means under power". Corruption in the system forced Liu Xiuyue to go along with it and do whatever it takes to climb to a higher position; At the same time, the inner justice never goes out, so it splits into another reckless crazy personality.
Obviously, the main theme of this drama is the audience’s favorite drama of using evil to control evil, and it is also the best drama in South Korea to satirize the dark legal system of the government. The two complement each other. In addition, each episode has a reversed suspense story, and the hilarious mode between Liu Xiuyue and the second personality K, the coexistence of crime and comedy, and a proper explosion drama.
