Blue Boys (Korean Mini-Series)

Blue Boys (Korean Mini-Series)

这部简洁的韩国迷你剧共八集,每集约12-14分钟,叙事深度有限。尽管剧情简洁,但剧情推进却显得过长,引入情敌主要是为了营造人为的冲突和戏剧效果。虽然剧情本身并无缺陷,但如果能更精简、更聚焦,就能显著提升观众的参与度。该剧分为两部分,每部分四集。 故事围绕自由撰稿人Jaemin与大学好友兼作家Nami重逢展开。在他们公寓喝酒的夜晚,谈话中透露出Nami过去颇受女性欢迎。Jaemin表白了自己的爱慕之情,并意外地接吻。后来,Jaemin得知Nami撰写了一个性爱专栏,而他最初对此并不以为然。两人随后决定发展一段恋情,尽管两人此前都没有与男性交往过,但​​最终还是发生了肉体接触。后来,渽民发现了一篇由娜美撰写的文章,题为《与男人初次发生关系的难忘滋味》,他感到自己被利用了,并开始用伤人的指责进行反击。娜美深受伤害,于是写了一篇反思性的文章,表达了自己在两人亲密时刻的困惑和好奇。这篇真诚的文章感动了渽民,促使他道歉并最终和解。随着一位对娜美怀有强烈感情的女性角色的出现,剧情进一步紧张,试图破坏两人的关系。后来,一位男性角色对渽民产生了好感,尽管渽民对娜美的承诺显而易见,但最终还是以一个不受欢迎的吻告终。娜美发现这件事后,渽民心碎不已。最终,这对情侣重申了他们的承诺,认识到相互信任是他们爱情自由发展的关键。 正如前文所述,故事的基调缺乏足够的复杂性,无法在八集的剧情中维持观众的兴趣。虽然展现了明显的亲密场面,但这并不能弥补剧情的不足。该剧未能打造引人入胜的剧情,严重依赖程式化的技巧。从老套的三角恋到人为制造的误会,影片中的关系冲突显得缺乏创意。《蓝色男孩》在叙事上缺乏想象力,缺乏特色。反派角色的刻画也略显单薄,对剧情的贡献微乎其微,主要只是一些被过度使用的陈词滥调,其行为引发了伦理担忧。主人公夫妇的冲突解决方式也同样循规蹈矩,缺乏原创性。虽然主演们展现了令人称道的默契,并奉献了精彩的表演,但剧情的不足却破坏了他们的努力。最终,剧情的铺垫削弱了观众对角色最终命运的投入。这部BL叙事最终除了一个高度陈腐的框架之外,没有任何实质性的创新之处。
