The most anticipated Korean drama "Death is Coming" in 2023 has finally ushered in the update of the finale after the New Year, and the way of updating is really vicious!First, the first four episodes were launched on December 15, and then the audience waited for 2
0 days long, until January 5, the second half was released at one time.
Although it is possible to complain about this way of updating, it is undeniable that this Korean drama is indeed very good, the content is constantly escalating, there are almost no dull moments, and the whole story is full of ups and downs, forming a perfect story closed loop.
What is even more gratifying is that the "unfinished" situation that I feared most did not materialize.
Although some viewers criticized the plot of the male protagonist's last reincarnation as a mother and felt that it was a bit preachy, the ending was satisfactory on the whole, and it remained consistent with the ending of the original comics.
This Korean drama not only has an entertainment effect, but also has a first-class core, which can be called a high-scoring Korean drama. The story begins with the fourth episode when the male protagonist Cui Yicai and his girlfriend are hit and killed by a car, and the whole plot begins to have causes and consequences.
It was Park Tae-woo, the eldest son of the Taikang Group, who killed them. Although this character is very rare in the early story, it has been explained since the death of the seventh male protagonist, and the deaths of Choi Ik-jae in the previous lives are all related to Park Tae-woo.
Park Tae-woo has an interest relationship with Park Jung-tae in the first life, Park Jung-tae is the heir of the Taekang Group because of his outstanding ability, and he is hated by Park Tae-woo, not only making his plane crash and dying quickly, but even being an extreme athlete in the second life.
He also died. Since this movement was sponsored by Park Jung-tae, Park Tae-woo, who was obviously a little **, let him "fly" and died "accidentally".
Then the fifth male protagonist took the blame for Park Tae-woo and was killed by him, and the model and girlfriend of the seventh generation were also directly hit and killed by him. "Death is Coming" is here, from an infinite stream story to a chaebol revenge story.
After the very perfect seventh life was destroyed by Park Tae-woo, Choi Ik-jae was extremely angry and prepared to seek revenge on Park Tae-woo after being resurrected again.
However, his identity in the eighth life is even more bizarre, he actually crossed over to the ** prisoner, and after being released from prison, he was also put on electronic leg irons, and his range of motion was restricted.
Before he realized that he had become a "villain", he was beaten by two people who kidnapped him for online traffic, and even spread the beating** to the Internet. Although someone saved him in time, his doom was not over.
Serial killer", who turned out to be his savior, but his intention was to turn him into a new prey. In this life-and-death battle, Cui Yicai was defeated by a serial murderer and was finally killed.
The whole storyline is full of blood, especially the plot of the ** prisoner being mutilated to death is chilling.
In the ninth life, Cui Yicai was resurrected as the serial murderer, and this psychological change is very worrying.
One moment he was still a victim of **, but the next moment he became a ** who raised a knife**, such a psychological change is undoubtedly a huge torture for him.
And the serial murderer himself also has a creepy backstory, he is a painter on the outside, but all his works are inspired by killing people for blood, and the studio is full of all kinds of killing tools and blood, and his ** hobby.
It's really scary. Choi Ik-jae's survival in this identity faces a huge challenge, and he even discovers the truth about Park Tae-woo's murder of him, so he uses the opportunity of the exhibition to get close to Park Tae-woo.
The confrontation between the two ** characters in front of the exhibition was shocking.
After the exhibition, Choi Ik-jae wanted to get rid of Park Tae-woo as a serial murderer, but in the end he failed to do so, and was instead tied to a murder bed by Park Tae-woo and tortured to death.
Let Park Tae-woo pay for what he did. In the next world, he was reincarnated as a police officer, an identity that was advantageous to him, despite the fact that his original owner was rather inferior.
After he crossed over, he actively collected evidence of Park Tae-woo's crimes, exposed his evil deeds, and even cracked a serial murder case to give an explanation to the victim's family.
Unfortunately, his high-risk career as a police officer ultimately prevented him from surviving for long, and he sacrificed himself to protect his colleagues.
In the eleventh life, he became a homeless man, and when he attended the funeral of the last world policeman, he found that the colleague he saved did not know the changed identity of himself at all, which made him feel that he was taking advantage of someone else's identity to make a living.
There is no point in living. So he began to negotiate with Miss Death, but was directly strangled by Miss Death.
In his last life, he took his mother as a new reincarnation, and the life in this life gave him great spiritual comfort, and he could still see the hardships and pains of his mother's life through his memory.
In the end, he lived as a mother for more than 30 years, grew old and strong, and finally passed away peacefully.
The adaptation of "Death is Near" is really fantastic, full of fast-paced shuttle, the editing, transitions and camera use are very exciting, and the language is also very engaging, and the entertainment theme has won a very high reputation, which can be said to be this year.
A dark horse in the Korean drama industry.
