Analysis of Characters in “The Biography of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine” and “Dae Jang Geum”
“The Legend of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine” and “Dae Jang Geum” are also female inspirational TV series.
The plots and character experiences can be said to be similar.
Character Setting
The protagonists of “The Legend of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine” (The Imperial Doctress (Chinese: 女医·明妃传)) and “Dae Jang Geum” are both court female doctors, while the male supporting roles are two handsome men. And “Dae Jang Geum” is the love affair between Min Jin-ho, a young scholar-official aristocrat, Lee Yi, the 11th king of the Joseon Dynasty, and the protagonist Seo Jang-geum.
In the two TV series, it tells the story that in the feudal patriarchal society, women surpassed the public opinion and established social traditions at that time and became medical officers that only men could serve. All of them have experienced inner ups and downs, life-threatening ups and downs and a series of twists and turns of fate. The costumes in the play are somewhat similar. I don’t like the heroine’s master.
Protagonist personality
The two protagonists are smart, kind, earnest, studious and stubborn. They have their own limits and principles. Even after experiencing the hardships and ups and downs of fate, they still have kind thoughts in their hearts and have the desire to study everything. Tenacity, perseverance until the goal is reached. Value personal value far more than glory and wealth, do not cling to power, and have compassion for all things.
The difference is that Tan Yunxian was born in a medical family and her father was an imperial doctor, so she wanted to become a medical girl regardless of her family’s opposition, while Dae Jang Geum initially wanted to clear up her mother’s grievances and become the most noble palace. She became a medical girl just because she could help She left Jeju Island and returned to the court to wash away Han Shanggong’s grievances and take revenge on Cui Shanggong who persecuted them. Dae Jang Geum’s original intention of becoming a medical girl was not pure.
Plot Setting
“Dae Jang Geum” is divided into four parts: Growth, Tenacity, Rise, and Success. They respectively tell the story of Dae Jang Geum’s efforts to learn food after his parents passed away in the imperial kitchen to become the most noble palace, Han Shanggong passed the imperial food competition. The story of becoming the most noble palace but being persecuted and demoted to Jeju Island as a medical girl, becoming a medical girl in the palace and experiencing being squeezed out by others, saving her enemies, etc. In the end, she succeeded in exposing Han Shanggong’s treacherous crime, and was awarded a great crime by the emperor.
The title of Jang Geum has been recognized by the country for female doctors. In the biography of “The Legend of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine”, there are also interpretations of revenge for her family and becoming a medical girl, but the main line is still the love story, the encounter and acquaintance outside the palace, the persecution and exclusion in the palace, and the first in Wala and Ye. Emotional entanglements, returning to the palace to study medical skills to teach medical women, losing a lover, and returning to the outside of the palace, there are emotional lines and political power struggles in both dramas.
Regarding the story of love in the play, “Dae Jang Geum” has a more subtle emotional narration, and the love gradually deepens with the acceleration of the plot. Dae Jang Geum himself is more focused on the setting of the court lady, and the time for dating is relatively limited; while “Female Doctor The Concubine Ming cannot escape the plot of Mary Su. Love is the focus of the heroine’s life, and the honing of medical skills is only promoted as a hobby rather than a job.
You can get everything you want in minutes, but the relationship is not going well. “The Legend of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine” follows the characteristics of domestic idol dramas, and runs through the main line of love to the end. Instead, what people look forward to is not the plot of saving lives, but the plot of the protagonist’s love affair, which is really a bit inattentive.
“Dae Jang Geum” mainly tells about Da Jang Geum’s study and honing of cooking and medical skills. During this process, the initial motivation that supported her was not pure love, but the pursuit of a utilitarian goal. After all, in the feudal era, Women in China do not have the right to choose, everything is just the persecution of life, because of this, they will make unbearable efforts for ordinary people, and all the gains will make people feel that they are not for no reason.
In “The Legend of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine”, the emotional entanglement between the heroine and the hero occupies most of the plot. Medical skills are only a side job, and he has also experienced the same exclusion and contempt that cannot be tolerated by the feudal patriarchal society like Dae Jang Geum. On the road of medicine, I also experienced epiphany and research, and also left a name in history, and made contributions to the country and the people, but the difference is that the pursuit of medical skills interspersed in the suffering of love, always in exchange for medical skills after heartbreaking love As one of the four great female doctors in ancient China, Tan Yunxian seems to have left his name in history too easily.
In terms of plot advancement, “Dae Jang Geum” advances very slowly, and requires a lot of patience to figure out the plot of the play, while “The Story of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine” is more lively, whether it is the personality setting of the characters or the interpretation of events, it is relatively clear at a glance.
Main Idea
Both TV dramas are stories about women pursuing their dreams, finally realizing their wishes, and going down in history. “The Legend of the Female Doctor Ming Concubine” determines the future direction of a person at the beginning. She is a great female doctor and will be very successful. Therefore, whether it is the emotional drama between the two emperors or the ups and downs interspersed with the heroine becoming a female doctor, it has become a necessary disaster before the insipid success. Anyway, it will always ascend in the end. There is less joy of anticipation and more ease of chasing dramas.
Anyway, it’s like that, at the critical moment, there will always be a hero to save the beauty, the protagonist is so lucky, and he will always turn the corner, it doesn’t matter if it is thought-provoking or thinking, it’s just to pass the boring time. In “Da Jang Geum”, a Taoist priest also predicted that she would save many people, but did not point out that she would become a medical girl, which left a lot of reverie for the audience. In the plot, there are more inner thoughts and choices of the heroine, the entanglement of goodness and evil, and the evolution history of the villains, leaving people with a lot of sighs and sighs. Even Min Jung-ho’s love and the emperor’s admiration cannot give Jang Geum more protection and help. All difficulties and experiences need to be borne by the heroine herself.
During this period, Jang Geum felt the joy and sorrow in life, more like It is a biography of a character. The treatment of love in the play starts slowly and heats up, not love at first sight. Even Jinyoung’s love for Min Jungho is in line with the state of mind of a teenager in the feudal era. It’s just an elder brother he liked when he was young, and the plot of love and hatred is more acceptable. Reality. There is no inexplicable love and hate, and the so-called love cannot be sketched out by fireworks, a sunrise, or a beautiful picture.
Generally speaking, the positioning of the two TV series is not the same. “The Legend of the Female Doctor” is still an ancient costume romance idol drama set against the background of historical figures. It is necessary to have romance, palace fights, and scheming, but also to become a historical drama. At the same time, most of the performances in the play are still a few male gods around the heroine. As for the medical skills that the heroine can handle, they are mainly used to frame the characters. Ancient women practicing medicine can really have fun love, and the ability to leave a name in history.
“Dae Jang Geum” is positioned as an inspirational historical drama in ancient costumes. The characters in the play do not have a predetermined route in life. Although they have the idea of becoming the noblest palace, they always spend time in tempering of specific affairs. It is also the unsatisfactory performance of ordinary people, and there are no too grand and vigorous twists and turns of fate. It is easy to be the only one who is under one person and under ten thousand people. Even Emperor Zhongzong, who admires Jang Geum, can hardly give Jang Geum this kind of opportunity.
Really good works are meant to bring people deep thought and encouragement. The world is difficult, and not everyone can meet that noble person who is willing to support them in their lives. Instead of relying on self-help and self-help, they are looking forward to a man who falls from the sky like jade. God, it is really too difficult for ordinary people to solve all the problems in life. The real environment is always so cruel, and what becomes more is the human heart.
Only by accepting the torture of fate in the continuous years of life, can we see through the scenery and cruelty of this world. TV dramas are things that show people real life, even if it is acceptable It is illusory, but evasion does not solve the problem. What we want to see is that people can find resonance in a subtle way, and then go on firmly in the life that has already been seen through.
Perhaps, we can revisit this passage: “Literature and art are deeply integrated into the lives of the people. Career and life, prosperity and adversity, dreams and expectations, love and hate, existence and death, all aspects of human life, can be found in works of literature and art.” Find enlightenment in it.” Similarly, all aspects of human life should also become fertile ground for literature and art, so that works that are truly “strong, moral, and warm” can be left behind.
