The drama "In Praise of Death" was released at the end of last year. The plot is relatively short, and it tells the story of the hero and heroine saving the country during the Joseon Dynasty. The male lead is Lee Jong Suk and the female lead is Shin Hye Sun. As a fan of Korean dramas, how could I miss it, but for me, I don’t like TV dramas from that period very much. This is also one of the few TV dramas about the male protagonist Lee Jong Suk.
Let’s talk about the plot first: the male protagonist is a student. In his spare time, he organized a group of like-minded friends to write a new drama to save the country and perform it. There happened to be a lack of actresses. By chance, he met the female protagonist Shin Hye Sun. , the heroine was dismissive of it at first, but then she gradually understood it and slowly joined this organization. Many times he was caught performing new dramas in private. The male protagonist's parents no longer allowed him to continue writing and performing, and wanted him to inherit the family business and arrange an arranged marriage. The heroine's family conditions are not good and she has to make a living.
The male protagonist inherited the family business but saw the female protagonist’s performance in the newspaper many years later and went there without hesitation. The two met again and hit it off, and they exchanged letters from then on. Although the heroine had to do some jobs that she didn't like due to the pressure of life, in the end she chose to elope with the hero and be herself, no longer bound by others. In the end, the two died in love and ended in tragedy.
The two began to dislike each other in their love, but ended up appreciating each other. Due to various reasons, they were not together. After the male protagonist got married, the two met again, eloped, and finally died in love. I think this view of love is wrong. There is nothing wrong with love, but why not insist on loving in the first place? It would be immoral to love again after you have your partner.
This is something that our current society cannot understand and advocate. This is also an extremely irresponsible solution, and it is something that can only happen in that era. Young people in the new era should never do this.
