‘Because This Is My First Live’ and ‘Revolutionary Love’, Reasons for Taking Drama Themes That Attract Youth’s Sympathy


 



Dramas that illustrate the reality of ‘painful’ youth are produced in sequence by offering fun and sympathy.


 


TVN drama ‘Because This is My First Life’ and tvN’s new weekend drama ‘Revolutionary Love’ aired on the 14th, depicting the problems experienced by young people who are thought to have created ’emotional’ sympathy in its story.


 


‘Revolutionary Love’ Working Hard in Life from Zero to Success


 


 


6.3-4.jpg&key=d1aa3d079174b666f2692df298


 


 



tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Revolutionary Love’ tells the story of three young men who want to change the world, a 3rd generation chaebol Choi Siwon (Byun Hyun), a woman who has a high education Kang Sora (Baek Joon), and someone who dreams to become an elite Gong Myung (Kwon Jae Hoon).


 


Kang Sora acts as a part-time worker named Baek Joon and gets a good response for playing an unreasonable situation by working 3 times a day. Especially when she works at a hotel which make the audience feel sorry and funny at the same time. This seems to encourage stereotypical changes by altering the wrong framework and forcing young people to keep trying hard. The drama air every Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm on tvN.

“Revolutionary Love†Releases Stills Of Choi Siwon Preparing Romantic Event

 

 

On October 21, tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Revolutionary Love†released stills for their upcoming episode, showing Super Junior’s Choi Siwon preparing a special event for Kang Sora on a rooftop.

 

“Revolutionary Love,†which aired its first two episodes last week, has been receiving praise for its hilarious episodes and its relatable characters Byun Hyuk (Choi Siwon), Baek Jun (Kang Sora), and Kwon Je Hoon (Gong Myung).

 

 

 

In the last few episodes, after causing a disturbance in an airplane, third-generation chaebol Byun Hyuk was forced to hide his identity. He received help from Baek Jun and managed to hide in an officetel, but his identity was eventually exposed. In order to help Byun Hyuk, who was being chased by the police, Baek Jun and Kwon Je Hoon headed to where he was. Byun Hyuk, who was delighted to see Baek Jun, told her to stay by his side and declared, “Today is our first day [of dating]!†With the unpredictable character Byun Hyuk, “Revolutionary Love†plans to charge ahead with the storyline in the upcoming episodes.

 

 

In the first still, the troublemaker, beagle-like Byun Hyuk is replaced by a more serious Byun Hyuk, with his handsomeness exuding from head to toe. He has with him a giant bouquet of pink roses, and he looks happy and excited as he awaits Baek Jun’s arrival.

In the second still, Byun Hyuk is deeply absorbed in decorating Baek Jun’s rooftop with romantic lights.

However, in the third still of the rooftop, Byun Hyuk appears forlorn and not so excited anymore.

In the final still, Baek Jun gazes at the bouquet of roses left by Byun Hyuk.

Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching??

  • Revolutionary Love: At first, Siwon seemed too bratty, but then the second he fell for Kang So-ra’s character halfway through the first episode, I began to love him. It’s hilarious how he falls in love at the drop of a hat, and I really enjoy the fish-out-of-water hijinks as he struggles with foreign concepts like minimum wage and rent. It’s not a deep show, but it’s super cute.

  • Revolutionary Love: It has all the elements of a good drama, but somehow I’m still not super-attracted. Maybe it’s because all of it has been done before? I think the only element that tugged my heart was when Siwon smiled after being kicked and physically abused by his father during the company board meeting, saying that his father must have weakened a lot over the years to resort to using his feet instead of his fists.

  • Revolutionary Love: I’m passing on this one. Watching Hyuk’s father hit Je-hoon as a proxy punishment for Hyuk (something that has clearly happened over and over) was where I tapped out, because it left such a bad taste in my mouth.

  • Revolutionary Love: Episode 3byunhyuk3-00269.jpg

 

Our hero is a one-step-forward, one-step-back kind of guy, which is occasionally a source of comedy, but just as often a reason for the heroine to blow her top. But he’s showing signs of learning how to take steps on his own, which goes a long way in rooting for him as he bumbles along on his path toward growth. Slowly. Eventually!

 

EPISODE 3 RECAP

Dressed as a hotel maid, Joon slips into Hyuk’s room in order to sneak him out before the police officer finds him—given that he’s been accused of a crime but hasn’t presented himself to the authorities (per his father’s orders), he’s evading the law.

Hyuk is touched at the thought that she came to help him, but she tells him coolly that she’s only doing this for the money. At that, her father’s voice rings in her memory: “Don’t make important life decisions because of money.†Joon remembers when her father lost his job, and he’d told her that he’d made a cowardly choice. She had seen the envelope full of bank notes in front of Dad, and he’d added, “I hope you won’t live like me.â€

She thinks, “Back then, I didn’t know what that meant.†But a few days ago, her mother had called to ask for money, because her child (Joon’s step-sibling) was injured and her mother had nobody else to ask.

 

byunhyuk3-00051.jpg

 

Now, she tells Hyuk matter-of-factly that she’s so busy just getting by that she can’t bother worrying about some chaebol heir. Hyuk doesn’t seem bothered, though, and asks how much she needs. He tamps down a smile when she names her price, then proposes a condition in return: to have Joon stay with him until he can return home. Joon thinks of her mother’s plea for help, and also her father’s warning.

“But Dad, do you know this?†she thinks. “I don’t even have an opportunity to make important life decisions. I’m just hanging on day by day.†So she nods and accepts the deal. Hyuk extends a hand, and they shake to today being their Day 1.

 

byunhyuk3-00059.jpg byunhyuk3-00052.jpg

 

Ha, and then Je-hoon’s voice cuts in angrily over the phone, having been ignored this whole time. Joon tells him to get the car ready and meet them at the back entrance, just as the hotel doorbell rings. Joon urges Hyuk into the maid’s cart, and when he’s safely stowed inside, she opens the door and pushes the cart past the officer.

She wheels the cart down the hallway under the officer’s scrutiny, and makes it safely to the elevator. She jabs at the door close button, muttering at Hyuk to stay quiet in the cart. But at the last second, an arm holds open the door and the police officer joins her in the elevator.

COMMENTS

Well, thank goodness for that. There are aspects of Hyuk’s character that can be annoying (or worse) when taken at face value, and while that makes for a satisfactory arc in the long run—there’s nowhere to go if he starts out perfect!—it can cause frustration in the moment. I think this show has mostly been able to keep Hyuk in our graces by revealing the better aspects of his character and showing signs of growth quickly. Taken at a slower pace, I think I’d have a lot more trouble accepting the character; as it was, I was feeling antsy with both Hyuk and Joon today, and really needed that last twist to keep me feeling good vibes.

 

For both characters, I can see why they feel the way they do, so my trouble wasn’t in understanding their reactions. It was mostly general frustration at the lack of understanding between characters, even if that was the point. I do really feel affection for Hyuk’s pure-minded sweetness that it does a lot to save his character from being the punk society sees him as, but you do start to wonder how a guy can get into so many scrapes and have them all be totally innocent. I don’t doubt that there really were innocent reasons, but there’s a difference between the intentions and the causes—just because you didn’t mean something doesn’t mean you can skirt responsibility for the fallout. I think it’s that last step Hyuk is missing: that he has to accept everything that arises out of his actions, not just the parts he intended. And when Hyuk thought he could get Joon to forgive him by throwing her a romantic date night, I had to facepalm at this idea that one positive act cancels out a negative, without Hyuk doing the work to figure out what the issue driving her anger was.

byunhyuk3-00814.jpg

Even considering that, I had a harder time with Joon today, and maybe it’s because Kang So-ra is so good at actually seeming legitimately fed up that I felt unjustly accused on Hyuk’s behalf when she basically lost all faith in him and trashed his character. It isn’t that she didn’t have reasons to feel that way, but I think what drives me in this story is the feeling that she’s supposed to get Hyuk in a way that other people don’t, and that’s the missing piece that spurs him to change for the better. But today, she was like everybody else, writing him off and seeing him as a lowlife punk, and it made me wonder, ever so briefly, if I should be rooting for this romance.

But what brings her back to me is the fact that she didn’t sell him out at the end, and that her outburst on the rooftop was perhaps directed more at herself than at him. It seems like she does know Hyuk isn’t as bad as she wants to believe, and that twists her conscience because she can’t reconcile that with the actions he produces. It’s easier for her to call him names and give up on him, but she can’t actually give him up to CEO Min, even if it means giving up on the three jobs she feels responsible for. I hope that seeing him face his punishment restores her faith in his goodness, because I need for someone in this world to have faith in him. There’s small consolation in knowing that Je-hoon does at least know Hyuk’s not a terrible guy, even if he still kinda hates him anyway. But that’s a kind of love-hate that I can handle, and even understand, seeing how Je-hoon grew up.

What’s interesting for me is how childlike Hyuk can be—I don’t know if I should feel amazed that he’s retained his childlike sense of wonder or consider that an expected consequence of his upbringing, which forced him to retreat into himself in order to survive. His poetic nature seems partly to stem from his naturally romantic spirit, but also feels like a coping mechanism. Nobody has taught him how to be an adult or deal with the world; it was telling that when Joon accused him of fixing everything with money as though that was the worst thing ever, he didn’t see the problem because everybody likes money—and I’m sure in his world, they all do. It feels like he has to be taught how to be a normal person all the way from the start again, because nobody has ever bothered trying before, and I really, really hope Joon is up to the task.

  • Revolutionary Love: Episode 4

    byunhyuk4-00513.jpg

 

Our hero continues to display traits from both extremes, alternating his childish antics with moments of caring. Alas, he also lets his cluelessness get the better of him more than once, and it seems entirely up to the viewer’s connection with the character to determine whether he remains endearingly bumbling, or whether he crosses over that line into vexing. I have hope… but it can be a bit of a struggle holding on to it sometimes.

 

EPISODE 4 RECAP

byunhyuk4-00008.jpg byunhyuk4-00019.jpg

 

Hyuk turns himself in, and as the scene is broadcast on new stations, jaws drop all across the city: His mother is horrified, Joon is speechless, and the fired construction trio is shocked to recognize him.

Hyuk maintains a serious mien and takes full responsibility for the incident… and then pauses to pose for a photo op. Sigh. Like I said, one step forward, one step back. He then surrenders himself to the prosecutors who escort him inside.

Older brother Woo-sung watches the news with displeasure, and looks further chagrined when he gets a call from a certain Prosecutor Hwang. Je-hoon is upset as well, muttering that Hyuk did this without any warning, and rushes off from the rooftop. Flight attendant Yeon-hee starts to tell Joon about something that happened last night, though we don’t hear what.

Surprisingly, CEO Byun is calm in the face of this uproar, though his two siblings are fit to be tied at the hit their stocks will take. CEO Byun ignores their complaints and thinks instead to his wife’s belief in the fortuneteller’s prediction that Hyuk is destined for great things. She had urged him to give Hyuk a chance to prove himself, and now he considers this and makes a phone call.

 

byunhyuk4-00078.jpg byunhyuk4-00094.jpg

 

Hyuk waits in the prosecutor’s office looking proud of himself, while in the adjacent room, a harried Prosecutor Hwang calls Woo-sung to accuse him of betraying their agreement. This is Je-hoon’s sunbae who’d taken a bribe from Gangsu Group to quash this case—only to have Hyuk waltz in and contradict everything. Woo-sung says that Hyuk is acting on his own—and since things have come this far, Prosecutor Hwang should investigate properly and not let Hyuk off easy. After he hangs up, Woo-sung flings things off his desk in anger.

Joon arrives at the Gangsu office to distribute juice, and hears the employees gossiping about Hyuk. She remembers what Yeon-hee told her this morning—that Hyuk had sought her out the night before to apologize, sincerely admitting that he was wrong to assume the matter was resolved with money. Yeon-hee also said that Hyuk credited Joon for showing him the error of his ways—she’d made a person of him.

COMMENTS

Oy, this show. I found the first two episodes promising, so when yesterday’s episode annoyed me with all the characters, I was hoping that this episode would bring things back around and set the course for a happier, funnier story. It didn’t do that, however, and just continued to piss me off with characters behaving in mean, or judgy, or just plain stupid ways. I’m willing to give Hyuk a lot of credit for wanting to be a better person despite not knowing how, and I cut Joon a lot of slack for being stressed out in a shitty situation, and I can totally see why Je-hoon feels trapped (even though I feel like he’s in total control of his destiny and is being rather self-defeatist much of the time). I’m totally here to root for them to grow and change and open their narrow-minded views of the world, because they’re all so fixed in their one worldview that it prevents them from seeing things through other people’s eyes, which is a fault whether you’re a spoiled chaebol or a struggling Candy.

 

But the writing just misses the boat, I think, and strikes entirely the wrong tone. I still find this premise to have potential and I really like these actors, but I found myself thinking multiple times today, “Dude, is this really the time and place for that?†The broad strokes of Hyuk’s cluelessness aren’t necessarily bad, but they’re applied at the wrong points. This drama kind of feels like that class clown who’s always missing his cue, who comes in too late to hit the punchline or rushes it by being so early that the joke feels like a non sequitur.

Siwon is still the master of the many-sided comic facial expression, but no matter how adorable the face is, if it’s pulled at the wrong time, I don’t care—I’m going to find it inappropriate and/or annoying, rather than adorable. I kind of wanted to smack that smile off Hyuk’s face this episode every ten minutes, because he just seemed to have no clue of what situation he was in and how to react appropriately to it. I’m annoyed at the writing for messing this aspect of this character up, because I thought last week showed that Hyuk has a really sweet and earnest side. Even yesterday, he was a well-meaning, if frequently stupid, puppy. But today, I feel like he lived up to his reputation as a reckless spoiled punk, rather than being the victim of misunderstanding.

byunhyuk4-00591.jpg

The thing is, the show doesn’t mean to show Hyuk as badly as he’s coming off, I think. I finally had a moment of softening at the end when he told his brother that he wanted money for Joon, because money is the only thing someone like him can offer her. That felt like a surprise stroke of insight from him, rather keen and a little poignant. I don’t begrudge him for trying to offer money as a solution because (1) it’s always worked in his world, and (2) we saw him learn with Yeon-hee’s case that a sincere apology means more. But his way of going about it grated on my nerves, as did his flippancy regarding his own situation—he was kicked out naked and still he thinks everything will be back to normal within days? That Je-hoon will pull a string or mommy will smooth things over or daddy will make a call? You could give this guy a clue and he still wouldn’t take it.

I do think the events of next week’s preview seem to indicate relief in our future (although I really think that stuff should have happened today), so I’m reluctant to write off these characters entirely—it’s still early, and I see that change is in the works. It’s just that the pacing is entirely too slow and we get too much aggravation with too little gratification, and if that’s going to be the ratio for the rest of the show, I don’t know if I can take it. The romance seems to be starting to spark now that Joon is feeling something consciously toward Hyuk, but I fear that by the time it happens, I won’t care anymore. Last week I was thinking this show could be Warm and Cozy done right… but now I’m wondering if it’s just another Warm and Cozy. I’m not averse to continuing to watch it, but the recapping patience-meter is a lot lower, and I’m not sure it’s the best use of our resources. Fair warning!
