Last night’s Episode 23 of KBS drama “My Golden Life” was like the tale of the walking dead, a little too slow and lifeless in my view. An anti-climax from the ending of Episode 22 when I was full of anticipation on what would transpire after the cliffhanger. Or maybe the episode was just fine (I guess it was since the audience rating was 35%) but I had high expectations and what I saw fell short of my expectations.
It was an overkill of every sub-storyline with very little content of the main storyline. Makes me wonder if this episode was written by Writer So or she was taking a break, along with the male and female leads! The bakery couple, Seo Jian’s elder brother’s story, unfolding of Choi Dokyung’s sister’s blackmail, Seo Jian’s younger brother confronting their mother, Father and Mother Seo talking about turning themselves in to the police, Seo Jisu causing more conflicts in the Choi family…walking dead, no life, no spark, no interest!
What about Seo Jian? She was truly the walking dead. No life in her, no zeal to live after she had been rescued by a fisherman. She is just going about life each day, working like a living dead to repay her hospital bill, not caring for anyone or anything. Even when found by her friend Seon Woohyuk, she was indifferent and refused to go back with him to Seoul.
And Choi Dokyung? He continued to look high and low for the missing Seo Jian. Getting his secretary to do a search, looking up her father, retracing her footsteps. He received Seon Woohyuk’s message to say that Seo Jian was safe, but he couldn’t contact him to find out more as Seon Woohyuk wasn’t answering his calls. His secretary telling him that maybe she didn’t want to speak to him depressed him even more. Now, would Choi Dokyung now become the living dead too?
But wait, suddenly there is a flurry, a burst of energy from the living dead Seo Jian in the middle of the night! We see her running! What is she up to?
We will find out tonight! KBS 2 at Korean time 1955h. Will what transpire next, the sudden adrenaline rush help to push the drama’s audience rating over the 40% mark? We will see! And sisters, let’s all charge together tonight! Fighting!
“我黄金光辉的人生”第23集:行尸走肉
昨晚KBS电视剧“我黄金光辉的人生”第23集就像行尸走肉的故事,我个人感觉剧情缓慢而无生气。第22集结束后,有严重的反高潮。第22集的悬念让我充满期待接下来会发生什么事情。可能这集的情节还不错 (我猜因该是吧,因为收视率是35%),但,因为我有超高的预期,所以没有达到我所预的。
故事主线的内容太少了,而每一个次线的故事情节播得过度,让我怀疑这集是否是苏作家所写的,她以往紧密的节奏完全不存在。或者她和男女主角都在休息?面包店的情侣,徐智安哥哥的故事,崔道京的妹妹被勒索的发展,徐智安弟弟与母亲的对抗,徐父母谈到去自首,徐智秀在崔家继续制造纠纷…行尸走肉,缓慢,没有生气,没有火花,没有兴趣!
还有徐智安呢?她是真正的行尸走肉。她没有生命的意志,被渔民救后,失去了生活的热情。她每天就像活死人般的过着,工作只是为了偿还医药费,而完全不关心任何人或任何事情。即使她的朋友善宇赫找到了她,她也对他非常冷漠,拒绝和他回首尔。
崔道京呢?对于失踪的徐智安,他到处奔波,不断在找她。甚至到她的家去找她的父亲,追溯她的脚步。善宇赫的消息告诉他徐智安是安全后,因为善宇赫没有接听他的电话,他不能了解更多。他的秘书告诉他,也许她不想跟他说话。这让他感到更沮丧。现在,他也会行尸走肉的生活吗?
但,稍等一下,半夜里行尸走肉般的徐智安突然爆发出一阵力量!看见她奔跑,到底要做什么啊?
今晚就会知道了! 请观看KBS 2台,在韩国时间1955点播出的“我黄金光辉的人生”第24集。接下来会发生什么,就如其来的肾上腺素加快,可以帮助推动电视剧观众收视率超越40%吗?加油啊,姐妹们!今晚我们一起冲破这个目标!Fighting!

#朴施厚# #我黃金光輝的人生# 面對突如其來的巨變,劇中各人的心情當然也會很糟糕,昨晚就更加感覺到,那份悲涼又哀怨的情緒。行屍走肉的心酸,真的太切合形容了!

If you expect nothing from somebody, you are never disappointed. But I’ve expected much more from episode 23 last night. Not to say I was disappointed, but it fell short for my expectations too, like for Nance. But today I expect something good to happen for our beloved Do Kyung and Seo Jian, as he carries her around in his head all the time, because for him she is exactly what he wants her to be. We’ll see tonight if his efforts to find her will have positive results.
Nance, don’t doubt about the talent and imagination of the writer.
The drama is like a house, at its construction counts every brick. The stories of the others characters life are interesting and are meant to contribute to completing the story of the main characters and defining the context in which it takes place. It is like a river that gathers its waters from its affluents.
The writer knows how to dose and combine all this, so as to create anxiety, tension and, above all, surprise for spectators. Also, she know how to attract interest of all categories of viewers through these stories.
At the drama’s charm, the talents of all actors are greatly contributed, and everyone deserves proper attention. The most impressed I was of dad Seo; the extraordinary veteran actor Cheon Ho Jin gave him life and interprets him with so much emotion and true feelings.
It is true that we are eager to see Park Si Hoo more in action, but we must to trust, however, in the writer’s good intentions.
This is not the only episode that leaves the impression of “overkill”. Let us remember the episode in which Ji An disappeared; we learned a lot about all the characters, except what happened to her. It seems to be a strategy in the construction of the drama.
