Netflix recently announced a new list of Korean dramas this year, in addition to the highly anticipated "Squid Game 2" and "Kingdom 3", there is also a sequel directed by Yeon Sang-ho, "Hell Messenger 2", which has attracted widespread attention.
Some commentators pointed out that when Yan Dao's name is mentioned, people often associate it with bad movies, because except for "Train to Busan" and "The King of Pigs", almost all other works directed by Yan Director have not performed well.
Although "Hell Minister" is second only to squid in the largest amount of Netflix, because a big name went offline after 3 episodes, many people gave bad reviews.
The same is true for his latest Korean drama "The Secret of Bequest", which also has the same characteristics.
Since the first episode, viewers have been constantly brushing "zombies" on the barrage, which has led many to give bad reviews of the show due to the lack of zombies.
"Train to Busan" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when this drama is mentioned, everyone will involuntarily think of zombies, and there is no way to change this.
His new work was not a success, but this failure was not due to the zombie movie, but because the script he came up with was of substandard quality.
Kim Hyun-joo accidentally inherits the grave of a strange uncle, which triggers the unfortunate event of "one death in one episode" and gradually uncovers the secrets behind the family.
The intertwining of village and corporate interests, village witchcraft, intricate family relationships, and suspenseful detective cases are all involved in this process.
He made a lot of smoke bombs to whet everyone's appetite, but in fact, each one was not real enough.
The criminal policeman played by Park Hee Soon has been busy for a long time, do you say this is a suspense thriller? From time to time, he also inserts knots in his heart, with his son and friends, resulting in a very scattered rhythm of the whole narrative.
In the end, it was the two aunts who revealed the truth, and they completely revealed the truth in a very direct way.
In this drama, the relationship between no pair of relatives is tenable, even if you say that it is about family affection.
The heroine's father abandoned his wife and daughter in order to be with his own sister; And the heroine's aunt did not hesitate to kill some unrelated people in order to ensure that her son could inherit the family cemetery. Logically, such a plot seems extremely unreasonable.
The religious content you are talking about is actually that the shaman appearing in the play is just to create a gimmick, and its irony and profundity are far less than that of the extended "Hell Minister".
originally thought that this drama would follow the style of the movie "The Cry", look at this poster, isn't it very similar. - It was previously thought that the show would imitate the style of the movie "The Cry", look at this poster, if it is very similar.
The uncle's death initially leads to this mysterious village, which makes it seem that there may be many hidden secrets behind it, but in reality, like the shaman in the movie, it is just a bluff trick.
The scary-looking lieutenant only played a role in giving directions to the police in the end.
The cast of this drama is very luxurious, in addition to Kim Hyun-joo and Yoo Kyung-so, two actors who have worked with the director three times, there are also young actors who have starred in "The King of Pigs". Compared with the substandard script, the cast of this drama can be described as quite luxurious.
Whether it's the lead or the supporting characters, their performances are undoubtedly excellent, which is why even when the plot is less than ideal, the audience is still able to deeply immerse themselves in it.
The character played by Yoo Kyung-so is particularly pathetic, and his performance in the early stages of the plot adds a touch of mysterious horror to the whole show.
Well, there is also Jeon Jae-joon in "Dark Glory", this time he plays a soft rice man who relies on his sister to support him, and his acting skills are quite good, but unfortunately he was eliminated at the end of the first episode, haha.
Despite all the problems, 5.A rating of 7 is still too low, and if you exclude those who give bad reviews because of zombies, the show should be able to score 6.
Let's look forward to the extended "Hell Envoy 2", and hopefully this one will be a success.
