Cool vs. Healing Series, Popular Japanese and Korean Dramas Showing Contemporary Women's AB Faces

The Korean drama "Dark Glory 2", starring Song Huiqiao, continues on social platforms, while another Japanese drama "Restarting Life", starring Sakura Ando, has attracted attention. Both the so-called "Big Girl" dramas and Nvyi are well-known female stars with highly recognized acting skills around the age of 40. It is inevitable that the two works will be compared. Interestingly, in the exploration of "female writing", these two works also present two diametrically opposed temperaments and value orientations: "Dark Glory" is the plot of a cool film about "punishing the evil and promoting the good" played by Song Huiqiao, a female teacher who endured humiliation for more than ten years and ultimately successfully avenged campus bullies; "Restarting Life" follows the path of warmth and healing. The salaried worker played by Sakura Ando dies unexpectedly. In order to avoid "reincarnation" and becoming an animal, she chooses to restart life repeatedly. After experiencing five rounds of "restarting", she gradually realizes the true meaning of ordinary life. To some extent, the two dramas also reflect the different creation trends of recent film and television dramas in the two places - South Korean dramas are committed to placing social issues such as "campus bullying" and "domestic violence" in a fierce and even extreme drama environment, with strong emotions and straightforward performance, and through the main characters, they can complete revenge on the villains, such as a bowl of Spicy Hot Pot, which is hot and hot, bringing immediate relief and pleasure to the audience; On the basis of the previous fresh and warm ordinary narrative, the Japanese opera has not avoided the practical problems, and has shown a gentle and firm change force with a small insight to bridge differences and contradictions. For example, the Congee dishes have a longer aftertaste. Of course, regardless of how different aesthetic purports and creative orientations may be, current TV dramas in the two regions share the same ideal of creating more responsible and intelligent contemporary women in different social environments. The Goddess of Vengeance and mortal heroes, who dominate their own lives, are the great female masters. "Yanzhen, welcome to my hell." This is the declaration of war by the heroine of "Dark Glory", Wen Dongen, as a victim of campus violence, against the former perpetrator, Park Yanzhen, after more than a decade of hardships and hardships. It is precisely this sentence that sets the dark and cold tone of the play. In the play, Song Huiqiao, the leading actor, puts away the iconic smile of the sweet girl in the former idol drama and strives to create a deep, intelligent, and tolerant goddess of revenge. This breakthrough refreshed the audience's existing understanding of her, making her a masterpiece of transformation success in her 40s. Although the outcome of all the bad guys being punished as they should, satisfies the most simple moral and value values of the public, it is difficult to feel gratified to take revenge on Wen Dongen's path of revenge after being satisfied and happy. For example, Wen Dongen first mastered high-level control through tracking and filming, and joined a private primary school teacher to reach out to the bully's daughter to complete the declaration of war; Subsequently, through means such as setting up traps, disclosing information, and separating, the members of the bullying small group were disintegrated. Although during the process of revenge, the gentle moments of women's mutual assistance with the same weak nanny and aunt are occasionally displayed, it is clear that the emotional game between the heroine and Park Yanzhen's husband has taken the spotlight away. By equating revenge with the family breakdown of the enemy, it is destined to be not a traditional happy ending in which the good and weak prevail over the evil and strong, but rather a violent outcome in which the good and weak are treated in their own way. The main creator is also very sober about this, when facing several children in the play
