The "Asdal Chronicles", which has entered 54 billion won, is more disappointing than the workability and CG.
Let's see the movie 'VIP' (2017), starring actor Jang Dong-gun and Kim Myung-min, who were born in 1972. Kim Myung-min, the high-ranking son of the party and a murderer who is trying to catch Lee Jong-seok, and Jang Dong-gun, an NIS agent who interferes with it, are the only protagonists in this film. However, the opening title is named in the order of Jang Dong-gun and Kim Myung-min. When the movie is over, the names are re-emerged in the order of Kim Myung-min and Jang Dong-gun. Let's take a look at the movie "Seven Years Night" released in March last year. At the beginning of this film, Ryu Seung-ryong, a timid man who killed a girl in an unexpected traffic accident, faces the revenge of the girl's father, the murderer Jang Dong-gun, the name of Ryu Seung-ryong comes out before Jang Dong-gun, but the ending title is named Jang Dong-gun before Ryu Seung-ryong.
What you want to say is that these movies are worried about how to honor him because of the name value of Jang Dong-gun. The name of Jang Dong-gun, who plays the villain role from the bone, comes out as the second after Hyun Bin coolly at the beginning and end of the movie, when he came to the movie Chang-kyeol, which deals with zombies in the Joseon Dynasty, which was released last October.
The Asdal Chronicle, which cost 54 billion won, is a TV drama, but it can be seen as a work that coincides with the previously mentioned movie V-IP or the night of seven years. All three works are either ruined or ruined, and all three works can be seen as a main character, not a main character, but a main character.
There are many analyses that the Asdal Chronicles is ruined because of the lack of originality that followed the setting in American dramas such as Game of Thrones, the computer graphics are crude, and the word that pops the head like brain analgesics and Han Chinese language, but I think it is because of Jang Dong-gun in a word. Jang Dong-gun is not doing well, but he is not trying to make a sound. I think that the recognition of existence beyond the need for Jang Dong-gun has ruined this drama. “I was greedy as an actor because the character I will play is very stereoscopic and a subtle character that can not distinguish between good and evil,” said Jang Dong-gun at the production presentation of the drama. Baro Yes, the reason why this drama has fallen is because of his character, who is 'very stereoscopic and can not distinguish between good and evil'.
The key protagonist of the Asdal Chronicle is Song Joong-ki, the savior 'Aramun Hasla'. As Song Joong-ki finds and grows the power of the Messiah hidden in him, it is the most important driving force of the story to confront Jang Dong-gun who wants to kill his father and put the world in his hands. The problem, however, is that Jang Dong-gun, who comes out in a Jesus-like hairstyle, is not a good guy and is not a bad guy. Jang Dong-gun would have accepted the role because he was not a simple villain, but Baro here, the collapse of the good and evil composition with Song Joong-ki led to a self-defeating number of conflicts.
Jang Dong-gun should have played a 'real bad guy', not a 'good guy or bad guy' who was confused by both. The innate inferiority of barbarian blood, the desire to acknowledge the love of his father for life, should have worked as a device to guarantee authenticity as a villain. Look at Kim Seo-hyung of SKY Castle, how much she wants to give her heart. Good guy is the main character, bad guy is the supporting actor. The real protagonist is the best authentic being, whether it is a good or a bad person.
Jang Dong-gun is also disappointed, but Song Joong-ki is a bigger disappointment. It is disappointing that she chose the drama as her first film since her marriage to Song Hye-kyo in October 2017. Some of the things she loses when a young star marries at the peak of her thirty-two-year-old career. But Song Joong-ki pretends to be younger here, to be more raw, to be fresher. I imagine that Song Joong-ki would have liked him more if he had challenged his more mature, provocative and problematic role instead of showing him trying to “overthrow” his marriage through this pure, sexual wolf-boy role. Just as Jeon Do-yeon reversed and destroyed himself through 'Happy End' and advanced to the New World.
Why would any of the top stars want to lose? Why would they end up with a bigger fall like fate? Do you not know that the appearance of married men attracted by women is not the time to pretend to be a bachelor, but the time to hide their love for their wives and children. I would think it was me who knew me best in the world, but top stars seem to know themselves the most.
