Annyeong!!
WHAT IS THIS? Some of you may be confused by the title, since it's a bit off from my previous post. But actually isn't every post of this blog is random and is not relating to each other? That's what I'm saying........
Well, the head title of this post is K-Drama Unraveled Secret. For those who haven't watch this drama, you can leave the page now and come back when you've finished it(!!!) Since I'm gonna share the unraveled secret in the drama, I don't want to hurt people by giving them spoiler or key of the story. However if you still want to read it then I will excuse you LOL.
Actually this is my first time writing this besides of my assignments to review movies (P.S. I'm an English Department student.) However I would possibly only review about Korean Drama in this blog since it is more interesting hahahaha. The first drama to be revealed is The Village: Achiara's Secret. I don't have any desire to watch this drama but my friends tell me that the story is super good, so I watched it (yes, I'm swayed.)
The genre of this drama is mystery. It is really mysterious though that you can't except any love line in this drama. My first impression is this drama is thrilled me to death. You are faced with blood and a granny doing suicide in the first minutes on episode 1. The crazier thing is that in episode 1 you also could find a skull buried in a village's forest. For that moment I was thinking "What the hell with the skull thing? Such a childish horror story, but I'm gonna continue to watch tho I'm so curious." My curiosity goes all the way until the end. There are ghost and supernatural things yet the characters are had to deal with polices. In my opinion it is very realistic. Since the story took place in a village, everyone has belief in supernatural things. The ghost appear in characters' dream and hallucination. Those beliefs are so natural in daily life and when it comes to a person, I'm thinking that who would not be crazy to deal with the past, supernatural thingy, people's words, and even police?
While watching drama, a person consciously or unconsciously will take someone's side, whether the protagonist or the antagonist one. It's natural since we may attached it with our personal life, what happened in our circumstances, or sympathy to others. However I barely took anyone's side in this drama because it really looked like a fate. We often pointing fingers at the antagonist character's deed but in this drama I can't 100% put the blame on them (except for the wickest evil a.k.a. the rapist in Daekwang factory and his wife uggghhh I hate them so much.)
Moreover almost each character has key of the story so this will be an essay LOL
1. Han So Yoon (Moon Geun Young)
Isn't she full of courage? She went back to Korea and choose to live in a remote village. She even did everything to solve her sister's death case. How could she has no fear? But it's possible because she had escaped death when she's little and she lost her family. What kinda fear had left in her soul, tho?
2. Han So Yoon's grandmother
I dislike her, a lot. Why she left Hye Jin alone? How could she just left her like that? How could she left a child who had been in a big accident, registered her as dead person, left her in an orphanage, and cut her ties with So Yoon? She knew very well that Hye Jin did not have family other than her family -_- Why she only consider a family is those who related by blood? Such a conservative woman. Then she commit a suicide? I don't understand, can't understand and refuse to understand her. Btw if she just took Hye Jin with her, then people won't suffering this much then.
3. Park Woo Jae - police (Yook Sung Jae)
He's a cute rookie police! How could he solve the case cutely as he is Joy's husband in WGM???? *fangirling mode*
4. Kang Joo Hee - pharmacist (Jang So Yeon)
At first I thought "Aaa she must have known everything" and she is. Despite of her sarcastic words, she's kinda pity because her mom never look at her. It's also reasonable if she did opposite things from what her mom said. What kinda child want to be treated differently with her sibling? Moreover when her sibling are bad as fuck. Even though she's a grown up, the wound wouldn't heal. About things she had done to Hye Jin and So Yoon, that's not right but somehow right. Isn't she the one show the pathway for So Yoon to find her sister?
5. Seo Chang Gwon - chairman (Jeong Seong Mo)
I wouldn't living with a person like him even though he's rich af, who cares? But he's surprisingly caring to his children and protect them at all costs (even though he did it in annoying way.) Well he may not a good man and husband, but he's done his job as a good father.
6. Yoon Ji Sook - glass craft artist (Shin Eun Kyung)
I was really shocked knowing that she's Hye Jin's mom. Her life is surely difficult. It's surprising how she could bear those scary childhood memory and act like nothing happened. Who would be the same person after having those experience at a very young age? That what I thought. However she's definitely wrong when she harassed Hye Jin even after knowing how difficult that child living. In my opinion it's okay for Ji Sook to ask Hye Jin to go, but she had not do it angrily as insult her as a monster. Things would be fine if they're keep in touch only as acquaintance or parent-teacher relationship. Ji Sook was way too mean, even to Yoo Na. And she was really greedy, your greediness won't set you at peace ahjumma!!!
7. Yoo Na - junior high school school student (Ahn Seo Hyun)
When she broke the school window while crying I thought she's a spoiled rich brat. But as the story developed, I feel sorry to her because of her mean family hate the gift she had.
8. Shin Ga Young - high school student (Lee Yeol Eum)
She's a character that made me really frustrated actually.... she always whined and yelled to her mom. It's not like her mom was wrong for prohibiting her to go at night. She lived in a village and she had to walk through the forest to back home. She had no car or motorcycle or at least a bike so she had to walk every day and night. On the top of it there is a serial killer in her neighborhood. She deceived Yoo Na to get a job and she chased her teacher because she like him. She looked like those village girls who carelessly did things without thinking. Eventually she died miserably. The good thing is we know that she has a good heart after all.
9. Kyung Soon - Ga Young's mother (Woo Hyun Zoo)
Why is their relationship tangled this way? Oh I'm tired of typing... In my opinion she had done a right thing when she decided to shut her mouth. She is a mother and she had to protect her only daughter. She was even a single parent, so she would not revealed everything in past so that it stained on her daughter's name. The same case also happened to Nam Gun Woo teacher (art teacher). Both of them kept the same secret so that they could live and accepted well in the village. However she's wrong when she did not do as Hye Jin said and kept denying the truth. If she brought Ga young to hospital two years earlier, her daughter may live longer tho.
10. Kang Pil Sung - Agassi, the serial killer (Choi Jae Woong)
In my perspective, he's just a stalker. The fact that he was a serial killer is because he was mentally broken. He only killed women because she had some issues with his mother. However in 16 episodes he was like information provider about Hye Jin and situations in his neighborhood. He's a serial killer did not affect me at all LOL.
9. Nam Soo Man and her wife (the couple living at Daekwang factory)
They are crazy human beings. They said that they have done those wicked deed to protect their child, Da In? Fuck that Da In. Besides they also lied a lot to the police in the beginning. Nam Soo Man was a crazy pervert so I think his mind was never in a right state (re: crazy bastard). However what about his wife? She acted like she was a good person and believed that her acts are to protect her child. I bet if she did not hit Hye Jin, Hye Jin would not killed by her own mother. Hye Jin and Ji Sook might argue a lot, or maybe solve a thing? Even if Hye Jin would die, she wouldn't die that day.
10. Kim Hye Jin (Jang Hee Jin)
The essay will done soon, this is the queen of the story, Kim Hye Jin (claps). Jang Hee Jin portrayed Hye Jin character very well, isn't she? She was beautiful and scary, I thought she was a ghost and then she is. After being puzzled and dragged until the last episode, we knew Hye Jin very well then. Her heart is so pure. Why did I say that? She had known that her family went to Canada without her. She had known that she's not So Yoon's real sister. She had known that she's an unwanted child in her real family (even got called as a monster). She had been living so had for the past years. She was terminally ill. She did not have anyone to rely on. Yet she still searched for her family even though she knew that she was unwanted. These made me contemplating life in an astonishment. Why did she do that? For what sake she did that? Why did she have to do that? Being a terminally ill patient is really hard then she should not bother to do those thingy tbh. Those are what I'm thinking. Remember the 'mother' who held her funeral? She might be little happier to spend her days with that person. Even though she was just pretending but isn't it better to be with person that accept you? She even brought herself at risk to have a dirty relationship with Seo Chang Gwon.
Eventually I think that she is willing to do everything because she had nothing to lose. Since she lost everything, experienced scary things a lot, she is willing to do everything in order to meet her family. I was crying hard when I see the real time capsule in last episode. She really wanted to be with her family until the end above all things happened :') How could a person live like that? She's a nice girl with pity fortune after all.
YEAYYY I've poured my thought about this drama and I got an essay (pardon me, please.) The writer and producer may show us about unexpected things in life so that we have to be grateful (and also to be careful.)I recommend this drama for those who like a mysterious drama with many crime scenes and have an unexpected plot. So what did you think about this drama? I'd be happy if you guys also share yours in the comment box :D
See you with another drama to be unraveled!
