In the dimly lit corridor, a young man and a woman are kissing. Just when the sky was thundering, the woman suddenly pushed her boyfriend away and told the other party to thank you for sending me back.
The man looked confused, and was about to leave, but the woman turned around and ripped off the ** and asked provocatively: Are you really leaving? Don't you want to communicate with me?
The man who was burning with lust could withstand this kind of teasing, and immediately stepped forward to hug the woman and kiss him, and a "big war" of dry wood and fire was about to break out. The above clips that make people blush and heartbeat are from the recent Korean drama "Long Time Haven't Done" starring Lee Su and Ahn Jae-hong.
At first, Qingshi was stunned when he saw the title of the play, thinking that it wouldn't be the "do", right? Until I saw its English name "Long Time No Sex", it was really the "do".
So in addition to the plot at the beginning, the play is full of many large-scale pictures. With the large-scale topic of "gender", this drama has naturally attracted the attention of many people. After the series was broadcast, it rushed to the first place on the Douban hot list, and then won the first place on the global word-of-mouth drama list.
The reputation is also good, with a Douban score of 86。
not only has it become the highest-rated Korean drama at the beginning of 2024, but it is also known as the occasional masterpiece after Netflix ruled Korean dramas. A sex comedy can gain such a high popularity and word-of-mouth, which makes Qingshi curious about what kind of charm this "Long Time Haven't Done"?
1, from a couple in love to a roommate couple, this drama tears through the fig leaf of middle-aged couples. There is a word called "the seven-year itch", and the heroine Yuzhen and the male protagonist Sam in the play are like this. When they were once in love, the two were full of passion, not only playing passionate dramas in the corridor, but also taking a taxi and couldn't help but play.
But such a couple has become a plain couple after seven years of marriage, and their marriage is also facing various crises, and sex life is one of them. In the past, they were just a little bit of dry firewood, but now they are brothers and sisters, ** as if they are breaking the law.
Obviously, they all have needs at home, but they tacitly choose to do it themselves and live a sexless marriage. A friend asked the heroine when she had a sexual life, and the heroine thought about it, but she couldn't remember it at all.
Of course, it's not like the two of them haven't worked hard. The male owner wants to have an in-depth communication with the female owner.,The other party is very cold.,Just say what you want to do.。
But when the male protagonist teased her and said that she was going to fall down, the female protagonist said that she was a little tired today, so let the male protagonist rest early. The man who couldn't sleep had to go to the living room alone to play with the computer, but after the male protagonist left, the female protagonist did not rest, but continued to play with the mobile phone.
On the other side, when the female protagonist is looking for the male protagonist, she not only wears the ** underwear she specially bought, but also very provocative in both her actions and words. But in the face of such a wife, the male protagonist was not only very surprised, but also couldn't even raise any interest.
The two even went to the hotel, and the atmosphere was in place, but the state of the two people still couldn't get up. The male protagonist said that the online saying that they like each other can awaken desire.
So the two of them tried, but after thinking of two points in their heads, the desire did not come to sleepiness. For such a situation, the male protagonist also wonders if it's because of taking hair loss medicine, because it is said that hair loss medicine will affect ability.
In the play, not only the heroine, but also her good friends have the same situation as her. A good friend told the heroine that her husband used to be very passionate, but the number of physical exchanges between the two began to decline a year ago.
From once a day to once every three weeks to once every three months, I don't do it at all. Because of this incident, my good friend felt pressured and even became an alcohol dependent, and he couldn't sleep at night without drinking.
And whether it is the heroine or a friend, they have inadvertently torn the fig leaf of middle-aged marriage. Years of life have long since made the passion retreat, and the two are not so much husband and wife, but a life partner who accompanies them silently. This change in relationship is very real and poignant.
2. Roommate husband and wife incarnation"Partners"to start an alternative road to fortune. In addition to the disharmony in the life of the husband and wife, the male and female protagonists are also facing the pressure of life. The female protagonist is the front desk of a hotel, and although the male protagonist graduated from a prestigious school, he can only be an ordinary taxi driver because of the failure of his business.
When they got married, they took out a loan to buy a house, and the pressure of the mortgage also stretched their lives, which were not rich. To add insult to injury, a heavy rain completely scrapped the taxi that the male protagonist relied on for his livelihood.
Seeing that life was about to be cornered, a chance gave this desperate couple a lifesaver. The male owner's good friend is showing off cheating.,The male owner inadvertently told the female owner.,The female owner insisted on telling the other party's wife after she knew.。
Unexpectedly, Jeong-so found the heroine, knelt in front of the heroine and begged bitterly, and offered to pay 30 million won, hoping that the heroine would let him go. And 30 million won is not a small amount, this money just solves the current dilemma of the heroine's family.
So the heroine accepted the money, and at the same time she also found a "business opportunity". As the front desk of the hotel, she secretly recorded a lot of personal information of cheaters, and wouldn't she be able to get a lot of money if she "cashed in".
So the husband and wife decided to join forces, the female protagonist provided information, and the male protagonist opened a rental to track and take pictures of evidence of each other's cheating. Then send ** and threatening letters, those who cheat are afraid of a broken family, and will naturally send money obediently.
Soon their first goal appeared. These two are colleagues, and they also live in the same community, which is even more outrageous because the cheating man's wife is pregnant.
Don't say it, the two who cheated are really bold enough. Not only cuddling in the community, but also taking a lunch break on weekdays, and exercising in the parking lot while eating.
In the end, the cheating behavior of the two was secretly recorded by the male protagonist, and the couple gave the ** express delivery to the cheating man and asked for 15 million won to be placed in the designated place. The cheating man also exposed his true nature after receiving **, and he spoke sweetly to his lover in the last second, and wanted the other party to take out a loan to pay the money in the next second. The lover saw clearly that the cheating man left angrily, and finally the cheating man paid half of the money to the female owner to end the matter.
Although the first operation was a fluke success, due to their lack of experience and the fact that it was illegal, the two who were worried also created a lot of funny scenes. For example, holding a mobile phone in a parking lot to shoot the target's derailment.
Pretending to be a courier to go to the agreed place to withdraw money, the male protagonist is a thief and looks like a policeman, and a series of operations in the process of withdrawing money are very funny.
The success of this operation also allowed the hero and heroine to set a goal of 150 million, officially starting an alternative road to fortune.
3, full of stamina, this time, Korean dramas slapped domestic dramas again. After the broadcast of "Long Time Haven't Done", a comment on the Internet was highly praised: Japan has restarted life, South Korea has not done it for a long time, Asians have an angry life, and only China is still "loving for a long time".
This rather ironic comment does not reflect the creative dilemma of current domestic dramas. While Korean dramas have been sharply attacking social reality, most domestic dramas are stuck in the stage of unnutritious traffic dramas.
Take this "Long Time No Job" as an example, why a sex comedy can gain a high reputation. After watching it carefully, we will find that sex is just an incision in this drama, and when we tear this hole and look inside, what is hidden is a pain point full of reality.
For example, class contradictions. The male protagonist and his wife worked hard, paid the mortgage with all the money they earned, and they were reluctant to buy even a cup of coffee.
And the rich friend made a move to cover up the derailment, which was 30 million won.
* To a prosecutor cheated on him, but soon they gave up. They can get information about these people in a day, and it is easier for powerful prosecutors to deal with small people like them.
The daughter of the heroine sister has a talent for playing the piano, but her mother is not happy but sad. Because she couldn't send her daughter abroad to study according to the teacher's advice, she couldn't even afford a decent dress when she performed.
On the other hand, whether it is a good friend of the male protagonist or a child of a prosecutor, you can go abroad or get in touch with top educational resources casually. These seemingly idle plots implicitly point out the mountain of class that weighs on ordinary mortals. It seems absurd, but it is realistic everywhere.
For example, the status of women. When tracking cheating men and women, the male protagonist sympathizes with the women who are hurt by cheating, but the female protagonist tells him: There are no unpitiful women in Korea. A casual sentence speaks to the current situation of Korean women.
And the next two groups of women in the derailment directly confirmed the authenticity of the heroine's words. An old woman named Ying'ai, she worked non-stop every day like an old scalper, serving her husband and son.
But this kind of payment can't be exchanged for equal treatment by the family, as can be seen with a family photo**. The husband and sons of the family are standing proudly together, while Young-ae is alone and huddles with the puppy.
There is also a woman who marries into a wealthy family, even if she graduated from a prestigious school and has a strong mother's family. After getting married, she still had to wear an apron every day, take care of her mother-in-law and husband, and live like a high-class servant.
Of course, there is also the core theme of this drama, which reflects the survival plight of ordinary people under the high-pressure society through the perspective and behind the transpiration. For example, the ** place chosen by the derailed bank clerk - inside the car. They use their weekday lunch break to ** and cheat while eating burgers. However, in this small space, people do not feel the beautiful and fragrant atmosphere, but a sense of suffocation that is impermeable.
The interest rate on the bank loan they work for is even more ridiculously high, at 24 percent. This figure is the highest interest rate legal in South Korea, but the hall is still full of ordinary people waiting to borrow. If they are not desperate, who wants to borrow from loan sharks?
And then there's our heroes and heroines, who have been working very hard all the time.
But the reality is that after they take out a loan to buy a house, the house price starts to **, but the interest rate continues to rise. In the end, all the money earned was used to repay the bank interest, resulting in a life beyond its means.
And the male protagonist complained casually, which also reflects the living conditions of the low-level people in South Korea. Electricity in the summer**, heating in the winter**, if you don't have money, you will either freeze to death or die of heat. Seeing this, the answer to the question of why couples who once loved each other have no desire is also called out.
At the end of the series, the director directly broke the problem of housing and money. The hero and heroine quarrel fiercely in the house bought with a loan, and whether it is the physical derailment of the female protagonist or the mental derailment of the male protagonist, it is just the last straw that crushes the camel.
It's not just love and sex that they suppress, it's the pain of unaffordable housing prices, unemployment, and the inability to change class behind them. In the end, the hero and heroine divorced, the house was **, and the extorted money was scattered.
And without the pressure of a mortgage and making money, when the two met again, they sparked a spark of love. I have to say that such an ending is very ironic and realistic, and it is a mixed taste.
