First of all, the original work, "The Philosopher Queen" is a remake of the famous domestic online drama "go Princess". The original play was adapted from a novel of the same name. The original male-female setting is novel, and the plot is full of jokes and sand sculptures. After being filmed as an online drama, due to the shortage of funds for the crew, the overall service style revealed a cheap atmosphere. However, due to the sand sculpture plot of the novel itself and the intentional performance of the actors, it has become a major feature of the play. The original script is a big IP, which brings considerable traffic to Korean adaptation.
The second is the adaptation of the plot. After the Korean screenwriter changed, the screenwriter made up for some logical defects in the original, making the whole story more fluent and full. At the same time, the adaptation combined with the local history, has some different cultural atmosphere from China, which gives the old opera a new perspective. However, Empress Zheren retains the sand sculpture and humor of the original plot, and many reversed plots make people laugh. For example, the woman thinks that water is the key to going home, and finally asks the queen mother to store water in the pool. She thought that the overall situation was settled and began to hide. She wanted to steal the limelight of men and show her manly charm in front of the two women, but the two women were not only ungrateful, but the original plan to go home was also interrupted because of lack of water. Or maybe Cui Shanggong, the mother around the woman, sneaked out of the palace. Just when everyone thought he was a spy, Cui Shanggong began to tell her his love and helplessness, and even once took out a kaleidoscope of beautiful men to decompress her.
Secondly, the actor's acting skills, the hero and heroine and all kinds of supporting roles are online. Shin Hye sun, who plays the heroine, undoubtedly shows masculinity and vividly reproduces the image of a playboy. Although the male host is usually paralyzed, the contrast between some small moves and expressions when facing the female host is also very cute. Various supporting roles, such as Cui Shanggong, Hong Lian and Nan Er, have their own characteristics and show different personalities.
Finally, there is market competition. It can be said that there are a lot of bad dramas in recent years, especially idol dramas, where idiots are rampant and acting is embarrassing, and there is nothing but face. The achievements of the "philosopher queen" can not be separated from the foil of peers. Of course, some behaviors in this drama that deliberately vilify China and exaggerate the historical position of South Korea also make the audience feel disgusted, but despite these small thoughts, the quality of watching the drama alone is still at a certain level.
