Downstairs of Liu Xuan Company, several large trucks were parked opposite the company's main gate. People were coming and going around, but everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on the trucks with huge words on them.
"Give Liu Xuan back his male lead role!" "The 'Money and Magic' crew is out!" "The company needs to fight for the legitimate rights of its artists. Please defend Liu Xuan's rights!"
On the Internet, viewers have different opinions on the ending of "Money and Magic".
I still don't understand why the screenwriter wrote such an ending.
Doesn't she know that this ending is a lose-lose situation? I see that the male lead's and the second male lead's fans are very excited, and some of them are even scolding the female lead for deliberately keeping them both hanging.
1L: Even though the poster didn't specify which drama it was, I immediately understood. Is it the one that's currently number one on the entertainment charts?
2L: The ending of the last two episodes was a bit hasty, which is a pity. I thought the first 14 episodes of this drama were pretty good.
3L: I didn’t feel anything was wrong. The screenwriter had been laying the groundwork all along. He was always cautious when describing the interaction between the hero and the heroine, so it was normal for the heroine to waver in the last two episodes.
4L: I now suspect that those who say the ending is bad are all fans of the male lead. Who said that the female lead must be with the male lead?
5L: I think it's the opposite. Those who complained about the ending being bad were probably more fans of the second male lead. Aren't fans of the second male lead very active on the Korean internet?
6L: Is it possible that Fang’s character is the male lead and Meng’s character is the second male lead, after all, the word “money” comes first in the title of the drama.
7L: Impossible. The promotional announcement said, "Writer Ha Mi-sook collaborates with Choi Ye-young and Ryu Sun to create this film." Ryu Sun is definitely the leading male role. Besides, his company is very powerful, and they've secured him excellent resources.
8L: Wasn’t there a rumor that Liu didn’t like Song and almost replaced him?
9L: As soon as I clicked in, I knew someone was spreading rumors again. Can those who spread the rumors please read the clarification post issued by the company? There is no such thing at all.
10L: Eh? Isn't this a plot post? If you're going to fight, please do it gracefully.
11L: Seriously answering the main post, I think the screenwriter wrote it this way for a reason. The reasons are as follows:
First, the screenwriter hinted from the very first episode that the heroine would like a brave and responsible man. So, when Meng hesitated, she began to think about her future with him. She is a mature and rational woman, so you can see that even though she knows Meng won't hurt her, she is still wary of him, because the place where Meng confessed is strange. Even when Meng finally told her his biggest secret, she didn't rush to reply.
In the past, the heroine might have been with him, but Jiang Zhu is obviously a different woman, she has both the advantages and disadvantages of modern women. Confident, brave, daring to love and hate, sometimes seems to have no emotional intelligence.
Her vacillation seemed perfectly normal to me. He was the son of the richest man! Not only was he her friend, he'd even arranged a romantic confession for her, not once, but twice! She'd witnessed Fang at his most vulnerable, and knew exactly what kind of person he was. Besides his temper, Fang had no flaws. To think such a nearly perfect man had a crush on her was a shock to me, even if I were Jiang Zhu.
Furthermore, I think the screenwriter favors Fang. Jiang and Meng's relationship was too natural and lacked any drama. However, Jiang and Fang's initial bickering, then gradually becoming friends, with Fang developing a crush... is a very complete story. I think the female lead's hesitation clearly demonstrates the screenwriter's intention: she'll choose Fang. If there's a sequel, she'll be with Fang.
12L: The above paragraph of analysis is quite strong, but to be honest, the screenwriter gave the second male lead a better character design, and the actor also picked up the mantle. I heard that he is an actor and a former idol, which is amazing. There are many Korean idols who turned actors, and they all act very well.
13L: No, Meng's character is better. So beautiful, so strong, so pitiful! I was so rooting for them when he gave Jiang Zhu that flower in the second episode. And honestly, his memories are pretty tragic, so heartbreaking. But everything has its comparisons. Liu Xuan is so unlucky, with another second male lead who flips the tables. I don't think the actor who plays Fang is particularly handsome, but his aura when he appears has a very idol drama vibe. I watched it two weeks after it aired, and when he appeared in the first episode, I screamed along with the commentators.
14L: Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who has the best acting. Yoo's acting is just average, especially since he and Choi have so many scenes together. Choi's acting is top-notch among Korean actresses over 20. Most of the time, his acting is around 60, with a few being 40 or 50. I haven't seen the second male lead act before, but I heard this is his second drama? So his performance is pretty good. He's very natural opposite the female lead. Those highlight scenes in the hospital are amazing. The last few episodes are a big contrast to Yoo's acting.
15L: Hehe, a fan popped in to give me some recommendations: the second male lead is Song Qixian, who just turned 19 a while ago, the age of adulthood in South Korea. He's truly a hidden gem, debuting in the boy group Kaleido just last year after only practicing for less than three months, and now his live-action videos are often in the top two in the group. He's a bit of an i-person, but he's also the group's heartthrob, doting on his fans and speaking Chinese. This is his second TV series; his first was the incredibly popular "Family Fun," where he played a senior who fell in love with the female lead. He's currently affiliated with M Agency, and his future is definitely bright. Everyone is welcome to get to know him.
16L: I've seen "Family Fun." You said he was the senior with the glasses and bangs? I couldn't tell at all. He acted really well. The characters in the two dramas don't have anything in common.
17L: I don't like this ending either. Now that I'm old, I hate Be and open endings like this the most. Can they film another ending where the heroine is sweet with anyone? It would be so suffocating.
18L: Reply to 15L: I'm not a fan, so I'm a little curious about how you fans feel about your favorite idols filming idol dramas. Don't they need to adjust? I heard that idols have a lot of dream girls.
19L: Reply to 18L: I'm not a Dream Girl fan. I simply like him as a person, so seeing him doing well makes me happy. He's also very tactful and treated Yeyoung-unnie with respect at press conferences and meet-and-greets. I'm not worried about him anyway. His daily routine is just going back and forth between the set, the studio, and the dorm. His schedule is transparent.
20L: Reply to 18L: I can see you're no longer a fan. A true fan of a self-produced idol wouldn't be upset if he or she were to star in a drama. And that's Korea. What a privilege it is to be able to film a drama in Korea! Just ask any fan of a male or female idol if they'd be happy if their favorite idol were to film a drama.
21L: Indeed, I am not a fan of stars, but my sister is a fan of Super. She wants to have the resources to film a movie, but the company just doesn’t push her. It’s rare for Korean group members to be able to film a movie.
22L: We’re off topic again. Let’s discuss the plot.
23L: There is nothing much to discuss. Everyone who has seen it says the ending is not good, so can the Korean director see the audience’s dissatisfaction?
…
"I'm so mad! Fang Xiyu's fans are gathering here!"
Can we recover the lost territory of Korea? Can we recover the lost territory of Korea? Can we recover the lost territory of Korea? Can we recover the lost territory of Korea?
1L: I give my fist in support.
2L: I'll support you with two kicks.
3L: I'll give you half a sausage. (Picture)
4L: There's intestines! He rushed over and bit them off. Ouch!
5L: Don’t fight with me, bad dog. I’m here too!
6L: Ahhhhhhhhhh why are you all making fun of memes? I support you as the original poster.
7L: Fang Xiyu fans are here, the ending is so disgusting, it makes me mad! So why give it a low score?
8L: The screenwriter could have made them together! Jiang Zhu and Xiyu are the happiest when they are together! Wuwu ...
9L: Yeah, Xiao Fang prepared such a grand confession, but Jiang Zhu didn't even see it. I'm so angry, screenwriter, you've let him down, director, kneel down and apologize!
10L: I couldn’t get over it after watching it, Fang Xiyu and Jiang Zhu are a perfect match, I just like the tsundere domineering CEO and the sharp-tongued little white flower, why didn’t the screenwriter and director let them be together!
11L: Koreans are also cursing on the forum, there are many posts on pann, so can they petition to reshoot the ending?
12L: Even though it’s an open ending, in my opinion, they are both doomed. My poor Fang Xiyu.
13L: Whatever, I just comforted myself. Jiang Zhu must have chosen Fang Xiyu. The clues were already there when Jiang Zhu asked her best friend and Zhixi earlier. She definitely has special feelings for Fang Xiyu, but feels she owes him something, so she asked. In the last scene, Jiang Zhu was also the first to see Xiao Fang. I unilaterally declare that they are together!
14L: I don't understand why they didn't change the ending. Does it have to be a big deal to get attention? Fang Xiyu's popularity is way higher than Meng Tingtai's.
15L: Oh, I gave up on the show after the first few episodes. I'm a fan of Fang Xiyu and I can't bear to see him get hurt. When Jiang and Meng were flirting in the first few episodes, I felt so sorry for Xiyu. With Xiyu's qualifications, he could find a girl ten thousand times better than Jiang. I can only say that Xiyu lost because the writer treated him unfairly.
16L: I was also a fan of Bang Hee-woo, but now I've become a Song Ki-hyun fan. I was shocked when I found out his age: he's only 19, seven years younger than Choi Ye-young! There's not a hint of an older-young-older-sister relationship in the drama. His acting is incredible; his everyday photos are the complete opposite of Bang Hee-woo's.
17L: Reply to 16L: Is there anything I should be aware of when I become a fan of him? I don’t like idol fan circles, I always feel like there’s a lot of mess in them.
18L: Reply to 17L: Haha, just don't get too involved in the fan circle. I'm Lu Hao, and I'll continue to follow his TV series and check the Weibo accounts of his biggest fans. Their group's songs are pretty good, so you can listen to them too.
