The plot is very nice, but the atmosphere is very heavy. It didn't emphasize bloody and supernatural, and it can make people feel so uneasy. Sure enough, the mental torture caused by the cult is not lighter than the physical torture... The weaker the spirit, the easier it is Controlled by a cult.

(There is a thunderbolt in the text! There is a thunderbolt in the text! There is a thunderbolt in the text! It is very important, so I will say it three times!)

The plot is very nice, but the atmosphere is very heavy. It didn't emphasize bloody and supernatural, and it can make people feel so uneasy. Sure enough, the mental torture caused by the cult is not lighter than the physical torture... The weaker the spirit, the easier it is Controlled by a cult.

1. The bondage of cults

People who join cults are actually like ordinary people who want to use leisure and entertainment as spiritual comfort when they are tired at first, but they choose the wrong object for their souls.

Life is full of helplessness, and I put everything on cult beliefs, hoping to be redeemed. When I encounter bad things again, I can comfort myself with my beliefs. This is God’s test, and God will definitely lead me through the difficulties.

In short, faith is the reason for everything and the answer to all questions.

Living under the influence of the cult atmosphere day after day, and constantly self-hypnosis, I fell into a situation where I couldn’t extricate myself. On the one hand, my beliefs had been internalized, and on the other hand, I was afraid that I would lose my sustenance. What can you rely on? Is it going to go back to the miserable days of despair in the past?

Although the cult ritual is also very painful, it also keeps giving you expectations in the midst of the pain, making you think that it will get better one day.

Therefore, at the end of the play, the cult organization was disintegrated, and all the bewildered and imprisoned believers finally had the opportunity to leave the cult's clutches, but there were still a group of people who were unwilling to face the fact that the cult leader they believed was a villain, and continued to use weak power While maintaining their original beliefs, some people choose to create new sects, so that they can continue to rely on their hearts and look forward to the redemption of life.

The shackles of psychological shadows

The heroine (played by Xu Ruizhi) and her family are bound by a cult in this play. Although the male lead (played by 2PM Yutaek) and his buddies were not bewitched by the cult, they also cast a huge shadow on their hearts.

The first male and the second male (played by Yu Dohuan), two good friends with very different fates, one is controlled by his father's power, the other is abandoned by his native family, and at the same time involved in a school violence case, the first male escapes because of his father as a backer. , but can only watch the second male as his best friend, imprisoned because no one helps, and has been living with guilt.

At first, when the first male and second male met the heroine who had not yet entered the cult, they fell in love with her at first sight because of her beauty. (However, there is no emotional line in this play, and the joint disintegration of the cult is the key point, so there is no scene where the first male and the second male spend time fighting for jealousy.) A few years later, the three reunited because of a cult case. At that time, the man and his mother said, "I I'm going to save the girl I like very much." However, I think that after a few years, the male first likes at this time, rather than wanting to pay for the other party, is more about getting out of the haze that he once abandoned his friends and ignored them.

So, when the first male heard the cry for help from the heroine bound by the cult, he decided not to run away as he did when he left the second male, and began to explore the inside story of the cult, echoing the title of the play "Save Me".

Through the process of helping the heroine, the first male also lets the second male after being released from prison see his sincerity, and the former friends finally reconcile.

A cult is not only a real church heresy, but a shadow that cannot be walked out of the heart. It is also an existence similar to a cult. Maybe everyone has a cult church in their hearts.

Although 2PM member Yu Zeyan is the first male, he feels more like the second male. Although he failed to intervene to help friends back then, it indirectly caused the heroine's family to be controlled by a cult and the second male imprisoned. All his decisions are the key to this drama. However, in the process of rescuing the heroine and dismantling the cult, the second male Yu Dohuan actually played more roles.

When the end was about to end, the screenwriter quickly pulled the male lead back, making him the last straw to crush the cult, but Yu Ze's role in the whole play was set to be named "male lead", which is really a little disgusting. weak.

However, this drama is still pretty good-looking, but the process is really heavy, not only the strange atmosphere of the cult is heavy, but the plot trend has created a full sense of despair for the audience again and again, every time it seems to see the dawn, the shadow It was covered heavily again, so it made people nervous every time...it was only at the end that I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
