TwoWeeks 《两周》
请预备好你那杯的烧酒，最好是烈酒，以便镇定那紧张兮兮和飙高的情绪。
Raise your glass of: Soju, preferably in shot form. To take the edge off thenail-biting.
连续第二年，李准基再次在坚实的作品中倾注了强而有力的演技。《两周》理应获得更广泛的喜爱，可惜未能尽如人意。这套在浓缩时空发生的惊悚片，并非泛泛之作，纵然收视率偏低，那出色的惊悚剧情、强烈的节奏，还是吸引了一群粉丝团与好评连连。
Two Weeks marks the second year in a row that Lee Jun-ki put in a strong performance in a solid show that nevertheless didn’t quite garner the popularity it deserved. The condensed-time thriller wasn’t a flop—it had amodest fanbase and drew mostly positive responses—but felt underrated anyway,considering how well-written its thriller plotline was and how strongly it keptup its brisk pace.
《两周》优胜之处，在於其精心构思的情节，透过一连串井然有序的因果、挫折和约定来铺排故事，那拍摄手法亦没有遗背叙事的完整性，让我们感受到曲折的桥段，并非在拉扯卖弄些小把戏，而是一开始已设计好的布局。纵使拍摄日程十分紧凑，我却从不担心这部戏的水准会如插水式般下滑。
Careful plotting was one of Two Weeks’ greatest assets, because it doled out its story in a consistentseries of payoffs and setbacks, testament to a well-planned plot. The live-shoot never betrayed the drama’s narrative integrity, and we never felt like the drama was scrambling to pull twists out of a hat; the twists were set in place from the outset, which is probably why I never feared that the showw as about to take an obvious dive in quality, no matter how tight the shooting schedule became.
