(1)The Cat That Watches TV ~《两周》剧评 (13.11.11. KOORIYUKI)
我有很多喜欢的韩国演员，爱称他们为哥哥（oppa）、男朋友（namchin）甚至是老公（nampyon）。令我誓死效忠的，从来只有哥哥李准基。准基自从退伍后，每年只参与一套制作，这出《两周》我当然会捧场。在戏中，准基是无时无刻也在逃亡的张泰山。我要衷心赞美准基的表现，并非因为我对哥的偏爱，而是他所扮演被诬陷杀人的家伙，实在充满说服力。
这一年，有很多令人期待的电视剧，最后却是内容空洞言之无物之制作，教我颇感失望。也有好些作品理应值得更高的收视率，最后却未如理想。《两周》便属于后者，这只能怪它的竞争对手《主君的太阳》。别误会，我的意思是《主君的太阳》会令人看上瘾的，我亦每周追看直播。只是，与其一周收看两集，我认为《两周》更适宜一气呵成的追看（我是等待它播完后才欣赏的），对我而言，要等待新一集的播出，那股紧张和期待感彷佛都消失了（直播《两周》时我就有种望穿秋水的感觉）。
I have many favorite Korean actors, and I label them either as oppa ornamchin (boyfriend) or nampyon (husband), but there is only one I swear myallegiance to, and that is oppa Lee Joon Gi. Naturally this is a drama thatI’ll watch, because oppa has only one drama a year since his release from army.And he is EVERY bit the man on the run, Jang Tae San. I’m not singing praisesbecause he’s a bias, but oppa is really convincing as the guy framed for murder.
This year has seen its fair share of dramas that promises alot, butfizzles into nothingness, much to my disappointment. And it has also seen agood portion of dramas that should deserve a higher viewership, but did not.Two Weeks belong to the latter, and I blame it on its competitor, The Master’sSun. Don’t get me wrong, The Master’s Sun is an addictive drama to its credit,and I watch it religiously weekly, and live broadcast when I can. I do supposeTwo Weeks makes a better watch when watching it continuously (which is why Iwaited until it finished its run and watch it), as opposed to two episodes perweek, because I feel it’d take off the momentum waiting for new episodes eachweek (which was what I felt with watching Tree with Deep Roots when it wasairing).

《两周》是关于一个毫无生活目标的男人，有天发现他有个患急性白血病的小女儿。就在知道骨髓和女儿吻合可以成为捐赠者的同一天，自己却被诬陷为杀人凶手（很明显死者对他存有好感）。这男人，张泰山，为了自己安危，决定逃亡，好让自己能在两周以后，安然为女儿捐赠骨髓。《两周》的布局跟《天命》相似，只是后者以朝鲜时代为背景。在戏中，这两名父亲都试图清洗自己没犯的谋杀罪名，并尽力为生病的女儿四处奔波，不过，拯救的过程却处理得截然不同，印象中《天命》就没有设定任何时限(如果我没记错的话)。
合共16集的《两周》，开首两集主要着墨于故事背景，余下的14集（或者，你可称之为13集半），每集叙述一天所发生的事情，带出了张泰山的逃亡过程。头几天，我们看到张泰山随意的躲藏在村民的房子里，也为村民提供了一些帮忙，当警察亦步亦趋追上泰山的逃走路径时，村民反倒怀疑，张泰山是否真的如警察与媒体所描述的杀人犯。
So Two Weeks is about a man with no purpose in life, one day finds out that he has a young daughter who has acute leukemia, and on the day he knows he is a positive match to donate bone marrow to his daughter, he gets framed for amurder (and the murdered has a crush on him, no less). The man, Jang Tae San,decides to flee for his life and keep himself safe for two weeks, which by theend of two weeks, is the operation for extracting the bone marrow for his daughter. The basic premise for Two Weeks is pretty similar to Mandate of Heaven, only the latter was set in Joseon era. Although both dramas see twofathers trying to clear their names for a murder they did not commit, as well as trying to save their sick daughters, the execution is vastly different, andthere is no limited time set for Mandate of Heaven (if I never rememberwrongly).
Being a 16 episodes drama, the first 2 episodes were spent on setting upthe case, and the remaining 14 episodes (or if you would, 13.5 episodes) were done such that one episode covers a day of happenings as a fugitive. We spend the first few days on the run at random houses of villagers that Tae San went to, all of whom he helped out in some ways or another, and when the police caughtup with his trails, the villagers were doubtful if he really is a murdererpainted by the police and media.

可怜的张泰山并无一刻的喘息机会，一方面警察在追捕他，另方面检察官和陷害他的流氓也想抓住他，每个人背后自有计算：警探林承佑（柳秀荣）是泰山前女友徐仁惠（朴河宣）的男友，仁惠也就是泰山女儿秀珍的母亲，检察官朴在京（金素妍）想抓住张泰山，因为她想借机打倒黑帮头目文一石(赵民基)。表面上赵瑞熙（金惠玉）是具备诚信的国会议员，暗地里却和文一石合谋走私贩毒。好些情节是关于朴在京和文一石各自以为泰山手握证据，能让文一石和赵瑞熙锒铛入狱；另方面，泰山也花了好些时间，才弄清楚这些证据或有助自己洗脱罪名。
《两周》深得我心，因为里头没有纠缠于要立场正确的废话，只专注刻划泰山为了女儿秀珍的手术，怎样奋力寻找证据来证明自己的清白；特别是当泰山濒临精神与体力崩溃的边缘时，幻想中的秀珍出现了，让他稳定了自己的意志。即使一切只是泰山的幻想，那种父女间的亲密互动，来得非常真实，也牵动心弦。这证明了泰山非常渴望能过正常的生活，好好爱护一直到逃亡前几天才知道存在的女儿。相比八年前他强迫仁惠去堕胎，现在这份渴望对泰来说更伤痛。幸好，泰山终于理解，要独自无恙的熬过两周并不容易，检察官朴在京亦开始相信张泰山或是被人诬蔑的，两人最终携手合作，智勇擒贼，转败为胜。
Poor guy can’t catch a break because not only the police is after him,there’s a prosecutor AND the mobster who framed him, all want to get a hold ofhim. Everyone who was after him had their own agenda, for the detective ImSeung Woo (Ryu Soo Young) is the fiance of Tae San’s ex-girlfriend Seo In-hye(Park Ha Sun), who is also the mother of his daughter Su-jin (Lee Chae Mi);Park Jae Kyung (Kim So Yun) is the prosecutor who wants to get hold of Tae Sanbecause she wants to bring down the mobster Moon Il Suk (Jo Min Ki). Moon Il Suk has a secret partnership with Jo Seo Hee (Kim Hye Ok), who is a member ofthe Parliament and a very good reputation among the common people, but secretlythese two people are in cahoots for lots of shady dealings, which includes drug dealings. For a good part of the drama, the prosecutor and the mobster both thought Tae San holds the evidence that the prosecutor wants to bring down themobster and the politician, and it took quite awhile for TaeSan to even realise that evidence may prove his innocence.
What I like about Two Weeks is there is not much political bullshit going around, and it is very much focused on Tae San’sstruggle to stay unharmed (for the sake of Su-jin’s operation) and to find evidence to prove his innocence. A particularly nice touch that keeps Tae Sansane is the appearance of imaginary Su-jin when he’s on the brink of breakingboth mentally n physically. Even though it is imaginary, the father-daughterinteraction is very real and tugs at the heartstrings. It showed how much TaeSan wishes to lead a normal life, as well as love the daughter whose existencehe did not know until a few days prior to his escape. It is even more poignantthat 8 years ago he forced In-hye to have an abortion (which thank goodness shedid not, unkown to Tae San). Things got even better when Tae San decided thathe cannot get through the two weeks unharmed, alone. The prosecutor alsorealized that Tae San could very well be framed, and the two work together toturn the tables against the bad guys.

在《两周》播出以前，令人雀跃的花絮，竟然是准基在「公然调戏」朴荷宣。当然，这一切是在良好气氛下为拍摄而进行的。为完成镜头，朴摆出的姿势以扮铜像甚为专业。穿插于剧中有许多泰山与仁惠八年前的相依片段，这些片段是两人甘苦的回忆，也支持泰山在逃亡中保持清醒，甚至有一刻，这些回忆成功拯救了泰山与仁惠。
在《两周》我特别喜欢今昔的错综交迭，还有，泰山渴望扭转错误重新善待仁惠与秀珍。本剧的成功在于其展现的现实主义：没有谁是真正无私的，每个人都有自己的打算，好人不一定是圣人，亦没有彻底邪恶的坏人（好吧，文一石也许是唯一彻头彻尾的坏蛋）。此剧剧情进展紧凑，几乎没有停顿下来的一刻。开放式的结局也甚为理想，事实上，在两周内，张泰山经历了一些人生的改变，可是他的锐变尚未完成。其他人或已经原谅了他，再次给他机会，但最终，还得由泰山再次给自己另一次机会。泰山的离开，正好是他再次给自己机会的开始。总括而言，《两周》在一众电视剧中是水平较佳的作品，最终亦如期的展现了它的优秀。
Prior to the airing of Two Weeks, there werealready alot of buzz going around, one of which was,unfortunately titled something like Lee Joon Gi “molesting” Park Ha Sun. Of courseit was all done in good jest, and even though it is just for a drama scene, Iapplaud Park Ha Sun for being as professional as those who poses as bronzestatues in the name of art. A lot of the Tae San-In-hye scenes in the drama tookplace 8 years ago in the drama timeline, which serve both as bittersweetmemories that helped Tae San remain sane during his run, as well as in an instance, saved their lives.
What I particularly like about Two Weeks is the intricate weaving of recollections from 8 years ago, into the current timeline,and also the desire of Tae San to right his wrong to In-hye and Su-jin. The success of this drama lies in the realism – there’s no one who is altruistic;everyone had a personal agenda. The good guys may not necessarily be saints,the baddies are no outright evil lords (ok maybe Moon Il Suk the baddie is theonly one who is outright evil). The pacing of the drama is also well done, withhardly any lull felt throughout. And the open ending is befitting, for the two weeks Tae San went through is only life-changing, but his transformation is notyet complete. Others may have forgiven him and give him a second chance, butultimately the second chance has to come from him to himself, and his departureat the very end is the beginning of the second chance he is giving himself. All in all, Two Weeks is one of the better written drama that delivered with what it promised.

有人问我你到底是哪里好~
这么多年我还是忘不了~
春风再美也比不上你的笑~
没见过你的人不会明了~
