What's the difference between the court plot in the Korean drama Empress Ming Chengzu and China's Palace Design?
Empress Ming Cheng is a Korean drama broadcast by CCTV in 2004. It's been 15 years now, but when I watched it, I was strongly shocked by the intrigue in the court.
In fact, both North Korean and South Korean film and television works have the same strong interest in "playing tricks". We didn't realize this before, but with the influx of Korean dramas, we will find that the consideration of people's hearts is the characteristic of these dramas, which can be traced back to the Korean film and television works we have seen before, and we find that the Korean film and television works that we didn't care about in the past also contain the conscious pursuit of "strategy" and the reasoning logic behind them.
"Empress Mingcheng" shows the historical facts of a Korean court's struggle for self-improvement and innovation, which can correspond to Gong Xinji, a film and television work that was once popular in China, but if we carefully identify it, we will still find that there are obvious differences between the two.
Our domestic works of Gong Xinji are more obsessed with the power grab in the court, and unscrupulous means is the core theme of this kind of works. Its structure is generally female. Through the display of charm, she finally defeated all her opponents and won the favor and imperial power of the emperor. Therefore, the domestic works of Gong Xinji show more people's inner darkness in the face of power desire, so such works are forced to be bound by cultural policies, precisely because there are three incorrect views on the content of such works of Gong Xinji, which contain strong narcissistic tendencies and expose the creators' inner desires.
