Anna: A Doomed Tragic Allegory

At the end of the story, Anna puts on another false identity and drags a truck full of timber alone in the icy Canada. People around suspected that she had lied about her origins, but the days just passed by. Anna is like a small raindrop, blending into the boundless sea of ​​people, which also implies that there are actually countless Annas in the crowd.

Occasionally, friends in the past would talk about Anna, but they didn't know anything about her whereabouts. Anna has always done a good job in this regard. Anna's husband concealed his illegitimate son for his political career, and even done more bad things behind the scenes. Anna lost her way and handed over all the evidence she collected to the only senior girl named Yumi, but she failed to break the depraved Official-business collusion system.

In this world, honesty and deceit still coexist, presenting an ambiguous gray. There are still countless Annas struggling with vanity and materialism, but Anna in the snow hut seems to really drop everything and start anew.

The vanity is empty like a blessing.

(updated to EP02)

Like a small fable, one can tell at a glance that she is falling, but she is fascinated by the story that she keeps reading. She is deeply in the dizzy feeling of falling, but what she doesn't want to stop is the illusory but deadly trembling joy that hangs over it.

It is said that people are lying even in diaries that are only for themselves. But a lie can only lead to the next lie, and the little lie will pry the big lie, and then leave it for the bubble to burst.

"Lee" and "Anna"

The surname Lee, which sounds the same as the demonstrative pronoun "this (이)" in Korean, "this Yumi" met "this Anna", and wanted to pretend to be her, coveting her life. When they met, Anna was as effortless as Yumi worked hard.

Anna was born in a wealthy, beautiful and charming society, and she even pretended to be troubled; Yumi, her male provider (spiritual) or material)—middle school music teacher, college boyfriend, and consistent father—all left, and she didn’t even see her father for the last time because she lied about going to the United States. In the following years, she worked hard but disappeared improvement. If the experience of student days is full of the price of lying again and again,Then, after several years of honest and physical labor, Yumi still did not let Yumi see the color of life.

So in a set of "Parasite"-style comparisons with the rich girl Anna, Yumi made up her mind again with her light expression, but the atmosphere of the picture It is "burning" style. "It's always like this. She can always do what she decides." She stole some of Anna's outfits, and after some work, she decided to become "Anna."

It is also "this Anna", but are they really the same Anna?

Tragedy Fable

This is a doomed tragic fable in which the metaphor hits the audience first, more than the truth or reality of the plot. Yumi's desire to live another life, and the jealousy that no matter how hard she tried, she wasn't born in Rome, these feelings may be accidental but they are real. Ordinary people outside the camera may be like the senior sister who was recognized by Yumi, trying to live an insignificant life with no turning point in sight. But as the deaf-blind mother discovered long ago, she wants far more than what her family can give.

When you want more than you get, pain and extravagance arise.

At that time, she was still too young to know all the gifts given by fate, and the price had already been secretly marked. - Stefan Zweig

Yumi is beautiful. Beauty has always been a scarce resource in human society, but compared to fame, power, and wealth, beauty is the most powerless and perishable. If the combination of beauty and poverty is not armed with a strong mind and a smart mind, it will often be a disaster if it mixes with the mundane world.

Because it is an allegorical character drama, even if the plot cannot withstand excessive scrutiny, the flaws are not concealed, and even this unreality adds color to it. But the script also made an effort to justify itself. When Yumi was a child, she was inspired by the wife of a British military officer, planted the seeds of lying, and also laid the foundation for spoken English, paving the way for later falsely claiming to have returned from studying abroad. Learning piano, ballet, and painting all contribute to the cultivation of rich people's artistic temperament, as well as the dressing taste for rich girls' work; because of too many relationships, the role of "Anna" must not be played by her, and she also It is true that a lot of work has been done.

After watching two episodes, there is too much to say, so I will talk about it in the future.
