In 2017, Incheon, South Korea.
A 17-year-old girl abducted an 8-year-old girl and brutally killed and dismembered her.
At first, the police diagnosed the murderer as a schizophrenic. However, as the premeditated murder plan surfaced, she was finally judged as a psychopathic murderer and deserved a heavier sentence.
This case caused an uproar in South Korea because of its bad nature, cruel means and the calmness of the murderer, and caused public outrage.
Even scholars began to study:Does the perverted murderer carry the innate crime gene?
On the basis of this case, Korean dramasMouseCome into being, toA high score of 8.7It has been on the hot list of douban for several weeks.
The story began in 1995, and a code-namedHeadhunting killerThe abnormal madman killed more than ten people in a row, with skillful and calm techniques and high-profile arrogance.
Every time he cuts off the victim’s head, ascollectionTake it away and leave the police with an indistinguishable headless body.
One snowy night, the headhunter came out of the mountain again and stared at a camping family of four. He did the same thing to get rid of his father and mother, and finally left two children. My brother was seriously injured, and my brother Gao Wuzhi was rescued by the police in time.
The headhunter escaped as usual, leaving no trace. But Wu Zhi recognized his photo in the hospital and identified the murderer as a nationally famous doctor.Han xujun.
In the first half of the drama, Dr. Han, who appeared as a good man, respected the old and loved the young, was gentle and considerate, and loved his wife deeply.
He not only won the trust of the public, but also received the good man card early in the audience. However, hiding the head in the snowman and his wife’s testimony made him completely exposed.
After Han Xujun’s identity was pointed out, he finally showed his ruthless true colors. He has no normal feelings, and the so-called love for his wife is only out of "wanting a second generation of Han Xujun".
With his imprisonment, this serial murder case that shocked the whole country came to an end.
The actor who plays Han Xujun is Ahn Jae Wook, the first male god of Korean Wave.
In 2020, that is, 25 years later, the son of the former victimGao Wuzhi has grown into a capable policeman..
He can’t forget the past tragedies. He often goes to prison to meet Han Xujun, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, and vent his anger and hatred in painful complaints.
Within the jurisdiction of Gao Wuzhi, incrediblyThere has been another serial murder..
The murderer despised the existence of God so much that he broke each victim’s fingers and pointed to the cross.
Its superb anti-reconnaissance ability, calm psychological quality, cruel modus operandi and ritual sense of committing crimes can’t help but remind people of Han Xujun, a perverted murderer 25 years ago.
Gao Wuzhi was aroused and determined to fight the murderer to the end. But what he didn’t expect was that his colleagueZheng policeman, friendsCui PDKnow, knowLuo prison guardandDoctor chengHave been involved in this case.
Who the hell is the murderer? Will he have anything to do with Han Xujun?
Start with a murder case and then continue with a murder case., is a typical move of criminal Korean dramas.
But the innovation of "spy" is that it puts forward aHigh concept setting: the killing gene will be inherited.
Twenty-five years ago, Han Xujun’s friendDanielHe’s a psychiatrist. While headhunters are rampant in committing crimes, Daniel put forward the latest research results: abnormal killers have the same genes.
And he can test whether he carries this gene in his belly, so as to judge whether he has the potential to be a future murderer.
Although people can’t change the killing gene, they can decide the survival of the fetus, thus killing the murderer in the cradle.
This proposal is not only a biological issue, but also involves the issue of human relations, so it was not passed by the government. But mothers who doubt whether their fetuses have killer genes can go to Dr. Daniel for testing.
Dr. Daniel’s institute ushered inThree anxious parentsOne is Han Xujun’s wife, who is worried that her fetus will suffer from bad inheritance;
The second is the wife of another researcher, whose fetus may have a mutated abnormal gene;
The third is a government official, who doesn’t want anyone to know about it.
Dr Daniel once explained the killing probability of abnormal gene carriers:99% will be criminals and 1% will be geniuses.
If it is determined that your fetus has abnormal genes, then do you choose to have children or have an abortion? thisDilemmaWas thrown to every unfortunate mother.
From the perspective of probability, it is much safer to choose abortion; But out of the feeling of flesh and blood, which mother is willing to give up her child?
The whole story of Spy is based on this high concept. The story 25 years ago is just a short introduction, and the story 25 years later is the focus of the whole play, because thoseChildren with abnormal genes grow up..
This play is also known as“Mouse”, which means "mouse". In the context of this play, what does "mouse" mean?
First of all, it symbolizesExperimental mice.
From Dr. Daniel’s point of view, criminal gene carriers are all mice used for experiments. Before they were born, they were judged by the test report; They grow up as if their parents were using the control variable method to influence them.
Judging from the current plot, many viewers speculated that Daniel had exchanged the test reports of three children. If he is a scientific madman, it is indeed possible.
Secondly, it symbolizesMurderer in the dark.
The first-generation killers are very similar to the second-generation killers. They are good at camouflage and wear many masks to play games. They are only interested in sadistic games. The police and the victim always stand in the light, while the murderer lurks in the dark, quietly stirring the water more turbid.
Crime and suspense are often two complementary types of drama. "Spying" is no exception. If the criminal content prohibited by 19 is challenging the audience’s functional limit every second, then the ubiquitous suspense point is the source of attracting drama.
Just as the core of Please Answer 1988 is "Guess Husband", the core of "Spy" is"Guess the son".
Twenty-five years ago, the second generation of Han Xujun, the son of a researcher and the son of a government official, died before and after.
Fifteen years ago, an unidentified boy did a lot of evil: he would feed the mice he picked up and raised to the snakes; Will threaten teachers and classmates; Can draw all kinds of scary cartoons; Poison goldfish and bury cats alive; It is also inextricably linked to the death of four other people in the family.
The boy felt that he was a monster abandoned by the gods.
Put the timeline back to the present, and the cruel serial pervert murderer has committed countless crimes. Which child was he in those days?
Up to the latest episode 6, important characters have appeared one by one, and there are not a few people suspected of committing crimes.
Zheng policemanThe enthusiastic and helpful little policeman is deeply loved by the neighborhood. One of the victims was his friend, so he actively participated in the investigation activities of the police in Gaowuzhi and often helped run errands.
Lee Seung Gi, the popular "national brother", plays Zheng Patrol.
However, the image of Zheng patrolman before and after seems a little different.
In front of the high police, he would rather be hit by a car than save the bird; But when a person is alone, because he thinks the bird is too noisy, he cleanly breaks its neck and dumps the body.
Doctor cheng, medical skill, young and promising, is very cold.
From the medical point of view, he seems to have something in common with Han Xujun. Dr. Cheng’s home is covered with photos of the victims and often appears at the crime scene.
However, with Xiaowan’s years of experience in pursuing dramas, at first, people who were like murderers were generally not murderers. Dr. Cheng is likely to have some connection with the murderer or have a strong interest in it.
balluteThe police who were transferred here to help Gao Wuzhi are always talking and not being conformal. Although he looks like a supporting role in soy sauce, he should be the son of a government official.
In the passionate discussion and infinite brain hole of netizens, in addition to the above three people, Cui PD of TV station, Dr. Cheng’s friend, Gao Interpol’s brother and Dr. Daniel are all suspected of murder.
Tuyuan Douban "Spy" TV Series Group
Under the suspense of "guessing the son", "Spying" fully mobilized the audience’s sense of participation.
Everyone has studied all kinds of details and foreshadowing in the play, guessing what it is.Who is the second-generation killer? Who is Han Xujun’s son? Are the second-generation killers and Han Xujun’s son the same person?
"Guess the son" and the subsequent trend of the plot actually lead to a more complicated proposition:If you have abnormal genes, can you "set things right" through acquired intervention?
"Spying" wants to discuss not only a biological issue, but also"beginning of life, inherent vice" and "similar in sex, far from each other"The proposition of human nature.
If sin is established, will redemption still be useful?People who are born evil, is it because genes don’t give him a chance to change? Or is the world not giving him a chance to change?
If we can persist in discussing this issue, then "Spy" will undoubtedly be a spring drama. I just hope that the next ten episodes can keep the momentum, and don’t fall into a vicious circle of high opening and low walking.
