Recently, the movie "Luji End" starring Song Joong Ki was broadcast online.
The film is adapted from the feature-length ** "Meet the End of the Roadbed", which tells the ups and downs of the love story between a North Korean defector and a mysterious woman.
Many people may be unfamiliar with the term "North Korean defector," which refers to people who have fled North Korea for other countries.
In this movie, the male protagonist played by Song Joong Ki came to unfamiliar Belgium after leaving North Korea.
In this unfamiliar place, he has no resources and background, only a meager amount of money, and wants to stay as a refugee to start a new life, but the process of obtaining identity verification is a long wait and countless tribulations.
In the first half of the film, it mainly focuses on the difficult life of Luji Wan in BelgiumNot only did he have no money to live in a hotel, but he could only live in public toilets and laundry rooms, and was bullied and beaten by other people from time to time.
And as the plot unfolds, he meets a mysterious woman - the heroine Mary, Mary is a former national shooter, beautiful and delicate, exuding a charming and melancholy atmosphere.
She fell into a low ebb due to the death of her mother, and even lost the courage and motivation to liveAnd after meeting the roadbed, her bleak life began to appear colorful,Two lonely souls collided with each other on a cold winter night, snuggled up to each other, and wrote a romantic ** love chapter.
Sixteen years after his debut, Song Joong Ki's acting skills have always been a controversy.
"Descendants of the Sun" made him popular all over Asia, but the popularity of the series and the charm of "Yoo Si Jin" are still due to the wonderful pen of screenwriter Kim Eun-sook.
When it came to "The Young Son of the Chaebol Family", which was a big hit, his acting skills were fully exposed, especially the play with the old drama bone Li Xingmin, he was criticized for not being able to catch up with the drama of his predecessors at all, and he seemed too immature and templated.
And in the new film, Song Joong Ki's acting skills have improved to a certain extent.
Whether it is the miserable loneliness of being a refugee in a foreign country, or the deep fall after meeting your sweetheart, it is just right to interpret the tenacious struggle of a low-level person in the predicament.
Even, many people feel that in this role, they saw the pure and clear sense of youth in the movie "Wolf Boy" 12 years ago, which can't help but make people sigh, as a representative of the "child-like" star, Song Joong Ki is magical in maintenance.
The heroine Choi Sung-eun is a big surprise.
This little flower, who was born in 1996, only debuted at the age of 23.
This is already considered an older age in the entertainment industry of "becoming famous as soon as possible".
Before "The End of the Road", she starred in film and television dramas such as "Magic Sound", "Monster", "Gentleman", but there were not many scenes, and she was not too impressive, and she was still in a state of obscurity.
And in the new film, she took on the responsibility of the heroine.
Mary was dark and lonely in the early stage, like a soulless walking corpse, her mother's death made her grief-stricken, immersed in such negative emotions for a long time, and after a chance encounter with the male protagonist Luji, her desperate heart began to have temperature and hope.
It's hard to imagine that this is Choi Sung-eun's first heroine work, and her partner is still the long-famous A-list star Song Joong Ki, but she has no stage fright, she is sharp, and she interprets the role of "Mary" meticulously, attracting attention and curiosity.
This movie has just been launched, and it has not yet been scored on Douban.
Of course, in addition to appreciation, there are also many negative voices.
For example, it integrates too many elements such as reality, love, and gangsters, and the contrast between the front and back tones is too great, and it is a bit fragmented.
But on the whole, Song Joong Ki and newcomer Choi Sung-eun performed well, stirring up a special chemistry and bringing a wonderful love story, which is still worth watching.
