Even Park Seo-joon and Han Shao-hee can't save this 70 billion won blockbuster.
The empty Jiang Pavilion, "Monster in the Capital" was severely criticized.
After the broadcast of "Monster in Beijing", harsh criticism poured in, the mediocre story, the unattractive as if it were a farce, and even the love story of Park Seo-joon and Han Shao-hee was "bad".
As soon as "Monster in Beijing" was broadcast, the audience's once infinitely inflated expectations were instantly shattered.
The Netflix original series "Monsters of the Capital" has been heavily criticized even after its full release after the preview screening, and the audience's evaluation is too unanimous.
The main reasons for the negative reviews are the poor storyline, the superficial character of the characters, and the lack of charismatic creativity, etc., and the claim that it is a "70 billion masterpiece" has now become ridiculed, which shows that the degree of bad reviews is very serious.
"Monster of the Capital" tells the story of an entrepreneur and a detective who struggled to survive in the spring of 1945, when the darkness of the era was at its thickest, and fought against a monster born of greed.
The drama is directed by Jung Dong-yoon, who directed "Major League Baseball", and Kang Eun-kyung, a writer who wrote the "Romantic Doctor Master Kim" series, "The Book of Nine Families", and "Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu". Actors Park Seo-joon, Han Shao-hee, Wei Yijun and other popular actors starred, and it was selected as Netflix's most anticipated work at the end of this year.
Most importantly, "Monster of the Capital" is a work that invests a huge amount of money in production.
The production team is confident in the production of the first and second films, which cost a total of about 70 billion won in the production of the first part and the second part of the filming.
Just by looking at the money invested in "Monster of Beijing" and the huge studio, you can feel the overwhelming atmosphere of the scene from the appearance of the capital in 1945 to the magnificence of the largest pawnshop Jin Yutang, and the huge laboratory of the Wengcheng Hospital.
But that's about it.
The most important storyline in the work is very weak, and although monsters were added during the period of Japanese imperialist occupation, the result was neither good nor bad. Mixing the anti-Japanese spirit, false emotional scenes, action scenes and emotional scenes, it is impossible to tell what it feels like.
The theme of the whole play, "monster", can be said to be mired in farce, and it is difficult to find charm.
Previously, director Jung Dong-yoon also emphasized that the monsters in "Monster of Beijing" are not cool monsters, but sad monsters with stories, but the truth is that their attacks are ruthless, and it is too hasty to attack properly even in front of Han Shaoxi and Park Seo-joon.
It's as if they're thinking about the length of the main character, and the motherly development weakens the attraction of the monster.
Not like Kingdom and Sweet Home where there are a lot of zombies or monsters, and it's the only monster.
So if you're expecting a monster trait with a sense of urgency, you're bound to be disappointed.
In addition, the emotional drama between Park Seo-joon and Han Shao-hee is also a little unnatural and embarrassing, Park Seo-joon shows a restrained emotional drama, but the reason for falling in love with Han Shao-hee at first sight and even desperately is not convincing.
Han Shaoxi's unique mysterious atmosphere is not shown in "Monster of the Capital", and the reason for the existence of the character of the Independent Army played by Wei Yijun is also difficult to understand, and even makes people doubt whether it is necessary to exist.
"Monster of the Capital" is like a legendary feast, but there is nothing to eat, just empty candy.
Now the first part is open to the 7th episode, and the remaining 3 episodes will be released on January 5, however, to regain the hearts of the public, the content of the remaining 3 episodes is not optimistic, following "Sweet Home 2", it is regrettable that works like "Monster of the Capital" have appeared one after another.
