After three years of waiting, Netflix's flagship Korean drama is back.
In terms of scale, it's full right away.
The three male protagonists are completely naked.
Front, side, back.
Dead center?Hardly.
The benefits of fans are obvious.
But unfortunately, his reputation has declined.
The Douban score fell to 51 point.
It was supposed to be the last surprise, but it turned out to be a surprise when it grew up.
Today, Uncle Yu invites everyone to take a look at what happened in this drama?
Sweet Home 2
Suite House 2
Three years ago, "Sweet Home" was launched.
The cost of one episode is 2.7 million US dollars (about 19 million yuan), breaking the production record of Korean dramas.
At the same time, we also invited the special effects team of "Stranger Things" and "The Avengers".
The broadcast effect is amazing, and the Douban score reaches 8 points.
It eventually became the first Korean drama in Netflix history to enter the top 10 Netflix ratings in the United States, ranking third.
The show's popularity can be attributed to its excellent creative team.
Directed by Lee Ying-bok.
Mr. Sunshine", "Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghosts", "Descendants of the Sun" and other high-scoring Korean dramas are all produced by him, which shows his strength.
The cast is even more eye-catching.
Song Jiang, Li Shiyin, Li Zhihui, Li Jinyu, Gao Minshi, Park Junying, Ko Yunzhen, etc.
A group of handsome men and beautiful women, quite attractive.
Sweet Home is based on the Korean manga of the same name.
The original work has an excellent reputation and is considered a masterpiece by many fans.
The story takes place in an apartment called "Green Home".
One night, the end of the world outside comes, and youkai run rampant.
All apartments are a last resort.
As a result, the townspeople banded together and defeated the invading monsters.
At the same time, we must always be vigilant against the unavoidable people in the apartment.
As a post-apocalyptic monster movie, the setting of "Sweet Home" is very special.
Unlike the bite infections that were common in the past, the monsters in this drama also need to be strengthened by their inner desires.
It's okay to be infected with the virus, but if you are consumed by your heart's desires, you will become a monster.
The appearance and Xi of monsters are a reflection of human desires.
The first symptom is severe nosebleeds.
For example, there is a big monster called "protein".
When he was alive, he was a scrawny kid who envied and hated muscular men.
So after turning into a muscle monster, he will shout "protein" when he hunts humans and even other monsters.
Another example is that there is a "security guard" who is covered in flies.
All his life, he was disrespected by the villagers and ridiculed by others.
After turning into a monster, he turned into a fierce avenger, killing everywhere with **.
Interestingly, not all monsters caused by lust are **.
For there is also a distinction between good and evil in human desires.
There is a gentle and kind aunt who always cherishes the obsession of the dead baby in her heart. After all, he wasn't a monster, but a newborn baby in his womb.
The most special thing is the actor Cha Hyun-so.
In the process of fighting the monster in his heart, he gains a special power that allows him to infinitely ** himself.
Become a special kind of infected that is neither human nor a monster.
On the one hand, he has become the strongest fighting force in the apartment, and on the other hand, it is not surprising that he has become the object of vigilance among the residents.
Everyone's attitude towards him was different, and it immediately became a wonderful microcosm of that post-apocalyptic society.
The monster in front of you is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and the human behind you is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
Such a setting also makes the whole plot development full of variables.
No matter when and where, a citizen can quickly turn into a monster if he is consumed by desire.
The struggle between humans and monsters gradually turns into an internal struggle between the surviving humans.
The vagaries of the human heart have become the most terrifying thing in this dilapidated apartment.
In the second season, the various stages of the story have changed drastically.
Everyone can get out of the apartment and out into the outside world.
They gradually realize that they have more to deal with than just monsters.
There are also strange soldiers and other strange people.
In addition, there are more and more people who are infected like Cha Hyun-so.
They call themselves "New Humanity" and want to turn the world into a "New Humanity".
This season, more characters and worldviews have been expanded.
Judging from the setting, it seems to have a larger intention.
But disappointingly, that ambition turned into a grudge.
The experience was far from what I expected, and there were many flaws.
In fact, the manga plot stopped at the end of the first season.
Therefore, the story of the second season has become the original plot of the drama version.
Compared to last season's restraint and foreshadowing, this season can be said to be full of chaos.
The most obvious manifestation is the scarcity of monsters.
The features of the previous games, which linked the form of monsters to human desires, have been completely reduced to scraps this time.
The only thing Uncle Yu remembers is a man who cares about his appearance, a ** monster.
Most of them are monsters that change color and blend in with the environment.
Or there are many monsters hidden in the forest.
Although there is a wide variety of monsters, it feels like reading a "monster encyclopedia".
But it doesn't have any features.
Worse is the level of special effects that are difficult to describe.
If you just rely on all kinds of bizarre monsters to shock your eyes, you still have a basic horror effect.
But if the monster special effect level is uneven, sometimes good and sometimes bad, there will be a "Schrödinger special effect budget".
Well, no matter how terrible the monster is, it will become a joke.
Take, for example, one of these scenarios. It is a serious and brutal drama that tries to show that children are also monsters' weaknesses, but humans want to kill the children of these monsters.
Thus blurring the line between good and evil between humans and monsters.
But when the camera turns to the monster, it suddenly becomes hilarious.
The special effects of the little monster are very awkward, as if they are afraid that the audience will not see the actors working hard in the air.
* Lack of persuasiveness, let alone emotional expression.
And the fight scenes between the protagonists are also boring.
The war between the two new humans is almost like a war with a thorn in the flesh.
You wave your arms, I wave my wrists.
The special effects are absolutely unbearable, and the whole thing is a shame.
Is this a war between superhumans?
Obviously it's better to dance in the rain.
If the collapse of the monster design is the loss of the image he presents.
Then, the failure of character creation is that the show has lost its soul.
When the stage of the story shifts to the world outside the apartment, new characters swarm in. It may seem like a lot, but it's all tools.
Crazy women, crazy scientists, crazy soldiers, ......
Almost everything is worn out and dull.
In the end, none of the new characters made a big impression.
There is also the personality of a priest, but it does not have the flavor of a pastor from last season at all.
The handling of older characters is also frustrating.
The male protagonist only appears at the beginning and end.
As for what was done in between, there is no explanation at all.
In some scenes, he is often naked**.
I really can't tell who is the male protagonist and who is the welfare monster.
There is also a firefighter sister in "Bloody Clothes", who became famous, but was immediately killed by the plot.
In the first season, he gained a lot of fans with enough courage.
In the second season, the author immediately turned her into a gentle mother, but in the end, her own child was turned into a monster and died.
As for the other characters, they either die or disappear.
I don't know life and death in the play, and I don't know what will happen outside the play.
The whole plot is like a screenwriter practicing essays, writing whatever comes to mind, regardless of the previous form.
The end result is that the original attractive characters lose their appeal.
The female characters in this season's comics are all supporting characters.
From the storyline to the character effects, everything sucks.
As a result, the discussion of human nature has become very hollow this season.
Every statement that seems to have a deep meaning is actually an unnecessary statement.
Not long ago, director Lee Ying-bok was asked about the plot of the second season.
He responded that the answer would be given in the third season.
So, the second season is just a super long trailer.
But the trailer is already like that, what else can you expect from the third season of the movie?Just relying on the bare butts of the three male gods to attract attention will only be cold ass by the audience.
