The Korean drama "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" ushered in the finale. After Luo Xidu and Bai Yichen experienced the heartbeat, ambiguous, love, redemption and support of each other in the first fourteen episodes, many viewers believed that the male and female protagonists would enter life hand in hand the next stage.
But what I never expected was that the sweetness came to an abrupt end. In episode 15, the two were still together, but in episode 16, they decided to break up. When the two protagonists left each other, the heartbreak and tears were still in front of them. Under the contradiction of reconciliation, they suddenly said goodbye to each other: "I loved you with all my heart, goodbye".
The unexpected sadness is the opposite of the sweet tone of healing before, and it reaped a lot of tears. Many people were dissatisfied with the ending of this "forced BE", thinking that the writer's handling was very hasty, which also led to a significant drop in the show's ratings.
However, the foreshadowing of "Rohito's daughter surnamed Jin" appeared in the play before, which also shows that this ending is not a whim of the screenwriter, and the audience can only accept the fate of being "knife".
Works with tragic colors, there is a popular saying now called BE (Bad Ending), that is, tragic ending, people are always impressed by the story of sadism and can't stop, watching those crazy men and women who have gone through twists and turns but failed to come together in the end. In the bridge section, audiences who are immersed in the play and nibbling on CP often have a feeling of "difficulty in peace".
Unable to let go, and there is no more echo.
This lack of "we could have" and the fate of the characters "destined to miss" are full of irresistible cruel beauty, and "BE Aesthetics" is also popular because of this.
In the past, there were many "BE aesthetics" in literary and artistic works, and many classic works ended in tragedy.
For example, in "A Dream of Red Mansions", the phrase on the gate of the palace gate in the illusory realm "The earth is high and the sky is full of sighs of love between the past and the present; a foolish man and a woman, the poor wind and moon are difficult to repay", which contrasts with the poignant love of "Bao Dai"; "Farewell My Concubine" "Long Dieyi's "no madness can't survive", he and Duan Xiaolou and Juxian's joys and sorrows and love-hate entanglements, finally turned into a sentence "when love is a thing of the past"; in the TV series "Da Ming Palace Ci" , Princess Taiping's "one eye is wrong for life" to Xue Shao, after the two are together, they fall in love and kill each other, and they cannot love until the yin and yang are separated; In "Edward Scissorhands", the innocent Edward whispered "If I hug you with both hands, I can't protect you with a knife", the white-haired old woman can only miss her being bound in ancient times day after day. Fort lover.
However, "BE Aesthetics" focuses on "beauty", and there is only a thin line between it and "dog blood". If the dramatic conflict is not handled well, it can easily turn into a disturbing dog blood story. How to narrate the tragedy with beauty , Need to spend some thought, get a good scale.
For example, in early Korean dramas, plots such as "car accident, amnesia, terminal illness" and "finally found to be brothers and sisters" were often used to create conflicts.
The Korean drama "Top Floor", which has been popular in recent years, is still full of life and death, accidents and various reversal plots. The ending is almost wiped out. The audience will only comment on it as bloody, and will not think of it as "BE aesthetics".
There are still many dramas in domestic dramas that make people "distressed". With the expansion of themes, the "BE aesthetics" in various types of dramas are also constantly updated.
For example, the representative work of Xianxia drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", the sadistic love between Xu Changqing and Zixuan and the white-headed snow in the ending, the open ending of Sedum and Xuejian, the happy enemy, Solanum vulgaris The plots of sacrificing one's body to the sword and Mushan's death by "cutting the flesh" are still hotly discussed by everyone 12 years after the broadcast of "Xianjian III".
The costume drama "Scared Heart" is also a classic of "BE Aesthetics". No matter how much you resist fate, you can't stop the given ending, and no matter how fiery love is, it can't match misunderstanding and time.
There is also the love of "Lan Yin Xuguo" in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", and the pain and misery of the protagonist's love and hate in "East Palace".
The impact and powerlessness that "BE Aesthetics" brings to the audience is unique.
Perhaps in reality, frustration and regret are the norm, and all fate will turn into a sigh in the regretful ending, making people unable to calm down for a long time.
