After waiting for three years, Netflix's ace Korean drama is back.
In terms of scale, it is directly full.
The three male protagonists appeared naked.
Front, side, back.
Dead end?Almost non-existent.
Fan benefits are obviously very sufficient.
But unfortunately, word of mouth has plummeted.
Douban scoreDrop to only 51 point.
It was a surprise in the finale, but it was a fright at the end of the year.
Today, Uncle Yu will take you to see what's going on with this drama?
Sweet Home 2
Three years ago, "Sweet Home" was launched.
The cost of a single episode is 2.7 million US dollars (about 19 million yuan), breaking the production record of Korean dramas.
At the same time, the special effects team of "Stranger Things" and "The Avengers" was also invited.
The broadcast effect was remarkable, and the Douban score once soared to 8 points.
Eventually becomeThe first Korean drama in Netflix's history to enter the top 10 Netflix ratings in the United States, ranked third.
The popularity of the show can be attributed to a large extent to the good creative team.
DirectorLi Yingfu
Mr. Sunshine", "Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghosts", "Descendants of the Sun" and other high-scoring Korean dramas are all from him, and his strength can be seen.
The cast is even more eye-catching.
A group of handsome men and beautiful women, quite eye-catching.
Sweet Home is based on the Korean manga of the same name.
The original work has a good reputation and is regarded as a masterpiece by many fans.
The story takes place in an apartment called Green Home.
Overnight, it was the end of the world outside, and monsters were rampant.
The entire apartment has become the last refuge.
So, the residents banded together to deal with the invading monsters.
At the same time, you must always be on the lookout for the unpredictable people in the apartment.
As a post-apocalyptic monster theme, "Sweet Home" is very special in terms of setting.
Different from the common bite infections in the past, the monsters in this drama also need to intensify their inner desires.
It's okay to be infected with the virus, but if you are devoured by the desire in your heart, you will really become a monster.
WhileThe appearance and Xi of monsters are accurate reflections of people's desires.
The first symptom is heavy nosebleeds.
For example, there's a big monster called protein.
Before he was born, he was a thin guy who was envious, jealous and hated muscular hunks.
So after turning into a muscle monster, while shouting protein, he preys on humans and even other monsters.
Another example is that there is a "security guard" who is full of flies.
He was not respected by the residents before his death, and he was teased by others.
After transforming into a monster, he became an abominable avenger, and he killed everywhere when he copied **.
Interestingly, not all the monsters born of desire are **.
For man's desires are divided into good and bad, good and evil.
There is a gentle and kind aunt who always has an obsession with the dead baby in her heart.
Eventually, instead of turning into a monster, she incarnated as a newborn born in the womb.
And the most special is the male protagonist,Cha Hyun-so
In the process of fighting against the inner monster, he allowed himself to gain a special power that could heal himself infinitely.
became a kind of non-human and non-monsterSpecially infected
On the one hand, he has become the strongest combat force in the apartment, and on the other hand, it is not surprising that he has become the object of vigilance of the residents.
The attitude of everyone towards him is different, and he has directly become a wonderful microcosm of that eschatological society.
The monster in front of him is indistinguishable from evil, and the human behind him is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
Such a setting also makes the development of the whole plot full of variables.
At any time, once the inhabitants are consumed by desire, they will quickly transform into monsters.
The struggle between humans and monsters gradually turns into an internal struggle between the surviving humans.
The treacherous and unpredictable human heart has become the most terrifying thing in this dilapidated apartment.
Coming to the second season, the entire story stage has changed drastically.
The crowd was able to get out of the apartment and into the outside world.
They come to realize that it's not just monsters to deal with.
And strange soldiers, and many more strange people.
In addition, there are more special infected people like Cha Hyun-so.
They call themselves the New Humanity and want to turn the whole world into the New Humanity.
This season, there are more characters, and the worldview has also expanded.
In terms of setting, there seems to be a more ambitious intention.
But disappointingly, that ambition turned out to be a hopeless moan.
The experience of chasing dramas is far from what I expected, and there are countless slots.
In fact, the plot of the manga stops at the end of the first season.
Therefore, the story of the second season has become the original plot of the drama version.
Compared with the restraint and restraint of the previous season, this season can be called a full release of chaos.
The most obvious manifestation is:Handling of monstersExtremely perfunctory.
In the previous gameThe characteristic setting that connects the monster form with the desire of the human heart is completely reduced to scraps this time.
The only thing Uncle Yu can remember is a certain little brother who cares about his appearance, and finally becomes an ugly monster.
More often than not, there are monsters that change color and blend with the environment.
Or a bunch of monsters hiding in the jungle.
Although there are a lot more types of monsters, it seems to be looking at a certain Monster Encyclopedia.
But there is nothing special about it.
What's worse is thatIt's hard to describe the level of special effects
If it is purely relying on a thousand strange monsters to hit the eyeballs, then it can still have the most basic frightening effect.
But if the level of monster special effects is uneven, sometimes good and sometimes bad, Schrödinger's special effects will be staged.
Well, even the most terrible monster will turn into a joke.
Take, for example, one of the scenes.
This is a serious and cruel drama, wanting to show that children are also the weakness of monsters, and humans want to kill monsters' children.
Thus blurring the line between good and evil between humans and monsters.
But when the camera turns to the monster, it becomes joyful for a moment.
The special effects of the little monster were too clumsy, as if they were afraid that the audience would not be able to see that the actors were working the air.
The pictures are not convincing, let alone the emotional expression.
As for the fight between the protagonists, it has also become boring.
The battle between two new humans is almost like fighting each other with the flesh thorns that grow.
You flick your arm, I'll twist my waist.
The special effects really can't stand up to scrutiny, and it's embarrassing to see the whole time.
Are you a superhuman fight?
It's clear that it's not as good as dancing in the rain.
If it is said that the collapse of the monster design is the loss of the shape of this show.
So,Failure in character buildingis to lose the soul of this drama.
When the story stage becomes the world outside the apartment, the new characters rush to the scene, looking at the large number of them, but in fact, they are all tool people.
Crazy woman, crazy scientist, crazy soldier ......
Almost all of them are discarded and have no bright spots.
Seeing the end, a new character was also not impressed.
There is also a priest character, but it doesn't have the flavor of the previous season's priest at all.
And the treatment of the old characters is also indignant.
The male protagonist only appears at the beginning and end.
As for what he did in the middle, he didn't explain it at all.
And in his very few scenes, most of the time he is in a state of no clothes to wear.
I really don't know if it's the male protagonist or a welfare monster.
Bloody clothes and a firefighter sister who is not low in popularity, was directly killed by the plot.
In the first season, she was quite brave and had countless fans.
In the second season, the screenwriter directly turned her into a soft-hearted mother, and finally died by her own child turned into a monster.
As for the other characters, they either die or disappear.
I don't know whether I'm alive or dead in the play, and I don't know the follow-up outside the play.
The whole plot seems to be the screenwriter practicing essays, writing wherever he wants, completely ignoring the previous shaping.
The end result is that the original charismatic characters are also unattractive.
The heroine of the comics became a short-lived supporting character in this season.
From the story to the special effects to the characters, everything is completely rotten.
As a result, the discussion of human nature has become very hollow this season.
Every speech that seems to have deep meaning is just carving on, and it is too much.
Not long ago, director Lee Ying-bok was asked about the plot of the second season.
He respondedThe answer will be given in Season 3
As a result, the second season is just a super-long trailer.
But the trailers are already like this, how much more can you expect from the feature film of the third season?
Just relying on the bare cheeks of the three male gods to attract attention, in exchange for probably only the audience's cold ass.
