The government and local forces fight each other fiercely. The father disappears. The girl believes in lies and chooses to fight. Unexpectedly, she finds that it is her former belief who betrayed her. In a rage, she summons evil forces...
Do you think I'm talking about Ashin? Wrong, I said "Ghoul" (aka "Ghoul") produced by Netflix India! It is worthy of being a company that shares its creativity across borders and touches the global "colleague love" (it doesn't). You said that it is also produced by Netflix, isn't it just because one is an Indian drama and the other is a Korean series of rumors, why can't the popularity be so different?
As far as the protagonist and the story are concerned, I prefer India's "Ghost". The character changes and psychological journey of the heroine of "Evil Ghost" are more delicate, and the portrayal of the supporting roles is also very clear. In addition to seeing Jun Jixian's sassy sister in "Axin", I can only sigh "Ah, Uncle Park Bingen is still so low-key and handsome". It's gone, after all, I really can't blow the mouths of the Jurchen people... Evil charming smile...
In addition, the tone of "Evil Ghost" is more realistic and heavy than the "Kingdom" series, and it is more closely related to the life of our audience. "Evil Ghost" is just the ups and downs of the heroine's beliefs from beginning to end, and it has nothing to do with gods and demons, and it has nothing to do with fate. And "Axin", "the whole world is buried together", is rarely used even in the light novel Long Aotian, so let it stay in "the first snow in 2002", okay? Of course, there is no comparison between the two, "Ashin" is only an hour and a half, and "Ghost" is a miniseries, the latter has more time to perfect the details and develop the characters. It's good that "Ashin" can tell a complete origin story.
However, one of the advantages of "Ashin" is the calm and atmospheric cinematography of the "Kingdom" series. I also really liked the first half of the game when I went up the mountain to catch tigers. I moved the camera smoothly and freely, as if I was following officers and soldiers running and chasing in the woods and reeds. The special effects of the action scenes were quite "frank" in terms of Netflix investment. In comparison, the "Evil Ghost" produced at a low cost and "cheap" are all crying.
To be honest, it's not a problem for the script to "collide", otherwise, so many Hollywood blockbusters that "one hero saves the world" every year would have lost their pants and lost their rights. What's more, "Evil Ghost" and "Ashin in the North" are essentially different in style, and the details are very well-made. Students who like this kind of themes should just watch both.
(By the way, when watching the first and second seasons of Kingdom, who would have thought that the character played by Park Bing-eun would have such a big shady scene, and he would have no feud with the heroine of Jun Ji-hyun. If this is the third season, Ashin is now again The most popular bitter villain, the role of Park Bing-eun is estimated to be able to die and apologize. At the very least, he must be dismissed from the official position and exiled. I can see clearly, the prince is here to "rectify the chaos and preside over justice". Fighting zombies is just an extra question)
