Somewhere in Africa
An intense experience. A masterclass.
Money Flower is really one of those beautiful pieces of television that come your way like Hayley’s comet .
It’s beautifully shot and excellently written . It made me want to google filmography and it’s relevant terms and technicalities because what I was seeing was so impressive to me . Money Flower , for me , is up there in terms of supreme craftsmanship. I’m sure those who do film studies and such can appreciate this phenomenon in Money Flower. I came to appreciate jump shots , pan shots and eye matching scenes . In fact , the eye matching scenes were the most powerful scenes and made the drama really edgy , unique and gripping .The jump shots magnificently created suspense and the continuity cuts were so logical yet artful for a drama. Thanks Money Flowing for piquing my interest in film techniques.
The story was the usual revenge plot of the impostor wronged by the people they were deceiving . It was familiar to see yet I found myself mid episode squealing in excitement at how the plot unfolded and yelling at my screen “I love this !” Throughout the somewhat lengthy 24 episodes, I was truly stunned by the revelations and plot unfolding of this show . Money Flower is a social tragedy and the depictions of human greed and avarice are thought provoking. If you like dramas that are heavy on the unfair circumastances in society imposed by the ruling class then this one is for you .
The acting was faithful to the script and the cast in all their capacities brilliantly conveyed the subtleties , nuance and anger their characters had internalised . Everyone pulled their weight and there was no weak actor at all. They were artful surgeons to the script , fulfilling their brief with finesse and attention . I throughly enjoyed Jang Seung Jo portrayal of the tragic Jang Bu Cheon. His eyes were so expressive . I look forward to seeing more of him .Then of course ,we have Jang Hyuk playing the intense yet empathic Kang Pil Ju. Just wow. The chairman was the perfect villain and. Malran was the perfect antagonist that was a victim of their circumstances.
The music was amazing. It was mostly instrumental but they were very apt in capturing the moments either heartwarmingly , emotionally or mostly heartbreakingly. My favorite piece was an “Inexcusable Road.”
OVERALL - Brilliznt watch . A true master class in story telling .
