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.

　　According to the monthly climate report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on September 14th, according to the data so far this year, there is a 93.42% probability that 2023 will become the hottest year on record.

　　For many people, this summer seems to be particularly long and unbearable. In the past few months, rare high temperatures above 40℃ have continued to appear in many places in China, followed by heavy rainfall and floods; Globally, many countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia ushered in extreme heat waves early in April-May; Mountain fires raged in Canada and Hawaii in the United States, and the casualties were the highest on record; The abnormal warming of seawater around Britain and Ireland threatens the survival of fish … …

　　However, this summer’s extreme weather may be just a preview of the future. In fact, the summer in the northern hemisphere is indeed extending. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters shows that if no measures are taken to curb global warming, by 2100, the northern hemisphere will spend more than half of its time in summer every year. The extended summer will not only bring longer high temperature, but also witness more extreme weather events such as rainstorm and mountain fire, which will also bring severe tests to phenology and agriculture.

　　"If the trend of global warming is not contained, the climate model forecast shows that there is the possibility that winter will disappear at some time in the future." Guan Yuping, a professor at south china sea institute of oceanology, told The Paper, "It’s hard to imagine what the earth will be like then!"

　　"Arrive early and leave late" in summer

　　Guan Yuping and his collaborators did this research by accident and curiosity, but the "unexpected" discovery attracted the attention of the whole world.

　　In this study, they analyzed the climate data of the northern hemisphere from 1952 to 2011 and found that the average length of summer has increased from 78 days to 95 days under the influence of global warming. If no measures are taken under the current greenhouse gas emission, by 2100, the summer in the northern hemisphere will be as long as six months, and the length of the other three seasons will be shortened.

　　And this summer’s high temperature "early arrival and late departure" is confirming this trend.

　　As early as the beginning of April, record extreme high temperatures appeared in Southeast Asia and South Asia. At the end of April, the temperature in southwest Europe and North Africa was 20℃ higher than the normal level in the same period of last year, reaching the high temperature level that is usually only available in July and August. Subsequently, new records of high temperature emerged one after another, and many authoritative organizations announced that July this year has become the hottest month on record on earth.

　　Until the end of August, 28 provinces in France still issued orange heat wave warnings, the temperature in some parts of the Middle East exceeded 50℃, and the high temperature record in central America was still being refreshed … …

　　In addition to the high temperature, this summer’s unusual extreme weather events such as hurricanes, mountain fires and droughts have also brought unprecedented damage.

　　This summer, after the continuous extreme high temperature in North China, the Haihe River Basin experienced the heaviest rainfall and the biggest flood in 60 years. The rapid transformation of drought and flood has not only broken people’s conventional understanding of the weather, but also made disaster prevention and emergency prevention more complicated.

　　In May, the first residents in Canada were forced to evacuate due to mountain fires. As of August 19th, there were still more than 1,000 mountain fires burning continuously, and they suffered the "worst" forest fire season in history. In the middle and late July, more than a thousand wildfires occurred in many places in Greece, causing air pollution equivalent to consuming 2.3 million barrels of oil; On August 15th, a mountain fire swept through Maui, Hawaii, USA. The worst mountain fire in the United States for more than a century caused 114 deaths and thousands of people lost contact, and the historic town of Lahaina was reduced to ashes … …

　　Premature continuous high temperature may be disastrous for human beings, animals and plants. The latest assessment of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows that compared with before the industrial revolution, global warming of 1.5℃ will bring irreversible impacts on human beings and natural systems. As the global average temperature continues to rise, summer will start earlier and last longer, and the frequency of extreme weather events will also increase.

　　Phenology: biological rhythm that is no longer punctual

　　Abnormal seasonal changes and temperature changes also have a direct impact on biological rhythm. Flowering, Reproduction and Migration … … Everything in nature operates in an orderly way according to phenology, and climate change is disrupting this biological clock that has been calibrated in the past centuries of biological evolution.

　　The United Nations Environment Programme’s Frontier Report 2022: Noise, Fire and Phenology Mismatch points out that under climate change, not all species can evolve in the same direction and at the same rate. It is this mismatch that has a profound impact on the survival of species, and many species will become extinct.

　　A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that global warming is making the spring in North America start earlier and earlier. Birds can’t keep up with this change, and if they deviate from the best breeding time, they will miss the most abundant opportunity in their habitat, resulting in fewer young birds.

　　In America and the Middle East, record warm winters disrupt the hibernation cycle of bears. Walking in the forest in winter, they not only face food shortage, but also pose a threat to the safety of surrounding residents and forestry workers.

　　The extension of summer caused by global warming has also contributed to the spread of infectious diseases. Studies have shown that when the water temperature rises, the time from egg to adult can be shortened from two weeks to one week; When the temperature reaches 26℃ to 31℃, the replication of Japanese encephalitis virus and dengue virus in mosquitoes increases compared with 20℃, and their infectivity is enhanced.

　　In fact, this effect is already happening. So far this year, more than 3 million cases of dengue fever have been reported in America alone. Dengue fever is spreading to areas where Aedes aegypti would not have entered. In 2015, Mexico City at an altitude of 2,240 meters recorded the invasion of Aedes aegypti for the first time.

　　The damage of sewage system and the interruption of drinking water caused by extreme weather events such as hurricanes, rainstorms and floods will also increase the risk of various pathogens. At present, driven by the unusually warm ocean, the hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean has just begun to "wake up". On August 20th, California, usually unaffected by hurricanes, issued its first hurricane warning in 84 years.

　　Agriculture: Race against Climate Change

　　"Many farmers have reported that it is getting hotter and hotter now, or it is very hot early in the morning." Feng Qihua, a researcher on the impact of climate change on ecological small farmers, told The Paper, "For example, farmers in Pinggu, Beijing, had to cover themselves with quilts in the mountains at the beginning of June last year, but it was already too hot in June this year."

　　In order to investigate the impact of climate change and the accompanying abnormal weather, Feng Qihua and his colleagues visited 18 farms in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and South China from May 2022, and interviewed 28 ecological small farmers.

　　During her visit, she learned that due to the extreme high temperature in summer, many farmers had to change their working hours and go to work in the fields before 8 am and after 5 or 6 pm.

　　"(We) are racing against the speed of climate change now." She described it.

　　In addition, some farmers found that when winter is too warm or short, the base of overwintering pests increases, and abnormal temperature or precipitation changes break the population balance of pests and beneficial insects in the soil, so crops will be more susceptible to pests and diseases in spring.

　　However, in Feng Qihua’s view, the greatest impact on agricultural production is not the high temperature and summer extension itself, but the high uncertainty of seasonal change and extreme weather events. "The biggest problem with climate change is that the speed of warming is beyond the range that some systems can bear."

　　This not only means that it is difficult for farmers to arrange production according to the original traditional solar terms and phenological signals, but also means that crops are more likely to reduce production or commodity.

　　"If it is a natural climate change, time will usually happen slowly in hundreds of thousands of years, and animals and plants can often adapt to the environment or move to places suitable for survival, but now the speed of climate change caused by human beings is more than 100 years, which makes them far away ‘ Can’t keep up with the pace ’ 。” She said.
