It wasn't a great drama, but as a lover of W, I liked few things here and there. First, it's not socialy acceptable in Malaysia that a woman quits her man. So they made an interesting change: real love Story is Kang Chul + Soo-Hee. Yeon-Joo comes in his world but just as a friend. Also: they gave more friendship and action for Kang Chul right arm Do-Yoon. Episodes I liked the most was when they made lot of change to original story. Else, each time it was sticking to original W, it was mostly a miss because you can't do better.
This drama is pure genius. I think nothing reached this level about meta-context. But it can't be the cup of tea…
Most of kdramas have good structure. And the one of this writer even more. I mean the writer plans in a detailled way the whole outline of the drama. Then it's hyperlinked and there are logical set-up and payoff all over the script. Of course, western shows with multiple seasons can't do that. They just have vague outline and do it over the fly.
To give you an idea, I did that for my W season 2 screenplay. The time of preparation was more than one year. During this time I didn't write the screenplay but just did the structure, outline, logic of concept, events and plot-twists. Of course I still wrote some piece of scenes in draft because it's inevitable.
I think pro-writers do it better than I do because after one or two dramas they know how it is to do that and plan even better. It's a loud mental charge because it needs to keep the whole drama in mind. At one point I almost became mad about that.
W was about free-mind and pre-written fate, so the hero could use his free-will, while the villain did it far less. Villain used it for bad tricks but accepted his statut of villain. However, both hero and villain are subjected to the manhwa rule saying they have a role. So if the hero deviate from the hero role, he starts to vanish, and the villain too. It's how end the drama, Sung-Moo (fusionned with the villain now) choose to use his free-will to help Kang Chul by killing the prosecutor villain. However, as it against the rule, he vanishes. It was a great sacrifice and very moving scene.

I think W's writer is often difficult to decypher. She thinks her dramas like a puzzle and let audience find by themselves what are the rules of her universes. Here, I'm more inspired by japanase mind-games animes or dramas and explain a lot more. But maybe it's just an impression because I rarely explain two times the same thing.
And now I find W's writer does the same and use more explanations than I think. It's just her dramas are fast paced and it's easy to miss clues. Then, I would fail at my goal to explain more, but I can't say because as writer it's difficult to know and only feedback could say it.
It's curious that you both find those kind of drama complicated and find W consistent. It's a critisism many people often do: that it's not consistent. As I know very well the drama, I can say it's consistent.
The writer uses a process she often use and a bit different of some dramas with a high-concept: instead to have a frozen concept with basic rules, her high-concept evolves during the drama, producing more plot-twists. But it evolves keeping the previous logic. So it's why we get more and more crazy moments in this drama. Of course I got inspiration from that.
Somehow, it makes the high-concept the main antagonist of the drama, because even if there is a villain, what create the more problems for the main characters is the bad surprise coming from a new (and bad) surprises coming from the concept. W's writer put the bar very high by making ML a kind of genius and FL an manhwa expert, as they have high intelligence about decyphering the concept, but even that isn't enough. Yet, we can accept this during the drama.
that's why I always say that never trust fully on the comments when you wanna watch something, look at this comment…
This drama is pure genius. I think nothing reached this level about meta-context. But it can't be the cup of tea of everybody. Yet, the drama has some basics that everyone can still enjoy, romance, action and comedy. But what I like the most is the mind-blowing content. Then, I've written a visual-screenplay of a sequel, with the same spirit.
Current situation is worst. Trump said he could have a peace agreement about Ukraine. Maybe he won't engage more…
Sorry, I'm a bit lost about your speech about mafia. I think you see things on surface level, so I can only return to you your comment, and hope you'll improve your critical thinking skill.
I didn't wait for E. Musk to stop censorship on X to know what happens. Many events are well documented, and reported by people who commit them. For example, Zuckerberg testified himself that he practised censorship because of biden regime pression. There are hundred of informations of this kind. Without a full context and historical accuracy, you just say the last thing you saw on TV.
About this "project 2025", I saw it was a hoax. Kind of thing used to scare people. If Trump was the authoritarian you think he is, well, he would have been during his first mandate. It's like people have a red fish memory.
Now, as the main subject is Yoon: I hardly see a common ground between him and Trump. Not the same kind of conservative men.
I was surprised when he got elected but how in the hell did he win and that too with a good margin?? Cant believe…
Hey, it's more than 20 years that I inform myself seriously. I'm quite old, but maybe the terms don't come from oxford dictionnary as I'm not english native speaker. I just know by reading you that you never did the job to study seriously geopolitics. So your speech isn't much than what say legacy medias. It's the old and dead world now. Smart people are taking the lead. No need to be from oxford to know that promoting children mutilation is horrible, or say a man is a woman an absurdity.
Celebrities have often zero awarness about real-politics, and as an example for american ones, just repeat what…
You should go on X and check why people voted Trump. People had a very good idea of what america was risking with the deepstate/harris agenda. People who voted Trump are far more informed and aware than you. Like two moves ahead in chess. Let's say four moves for genius Elon Musk. What I find scary is so many people are unable to understand yet real-politics.
USA will probably end up doing the same later on during that clown Trump's second term.
Current situation is worst. Trump said he could have a peace agreement about Ukraine. Maybe he won't engage more about this and just leave, and already his men were able to cancel a $26 billions donation from biden to this dictatorship regime (and yes, Zelinsky canceled elections and isn't anymore legitimate president). Money took into pockets of american citizens!
Following that, and in fear peace could happen (for many reasons I can't relate now), biden regime authorised nato to strike Russia territory with long range weapons. What make the world in a situation close to WW3 and nuclear apocalypse more than any time in history. Biden regime could then use martial law to cancel Trump election. We are living in this very dangerous time.

Kamala got a $1 billion dollar campains, hundred of billionnaires support, and found the way to be 20 millions in debt at the end, lol! She even paid celebrities, as high as 10 millions, what is illegal unless there is a disclaimer mentioning it's paid ads. There wasn't and I hope they are all prosecuted. She got promotion of all legacy medias and most of celebrities. Many of them are pedos, fearing Epstein and Diddy files coming out. Some of them have even fled to my country, hoping there will be no extradition.
Main reasons Trump won was:
- public support, except deranged leftists, common people don't want to be invaded by millions of illegals, have their children brainwashed by woke bullshit in schools, don't want men compet in women sport, of childs being removed from their parents to be mutilated because of the trans-child agenda. People don't want crime and drugs and saw what hell became the big democrat cities like San Fransisco.
- in this public support, black and hispanic communities understanding that democrat party is the most racist of all parties, and tired to be their toy. Some of them also remember that Trump first presidency did good for them about jobs and respect.
- a part of the establishment changing camp and understanding previous governement was a complete disaster for free bussiness, because of DEI top-down commands from companies like Blackrock and the climate scam agenda.
- few democrats understanding that democratic party was just facade of the deep state and neo-cons from Bush era (endless wars). Seeing freedom gone with the attacks on freespeech. Then they joined Trump.
- and of course: thousand of lawyers hired to check there are no election frauds, so the situation doesn't end like the stolen election of 2020. Even with that, weeks after, some democrat states continue to count ballot and cheat. I remind that congress tried to propose a law to mandate voters to have an ID to vote, and most of democrats refused it.
Democrats can't win without fraud. Leftists can't discuss without canceling or censorship. As a non-american citizen of the world, I'm happy Trump won, and we are billions in any country in the world, even when our legacy medias lie like hell about him. Because we are not woke, but we are aware.

SK was exporting cultural content very well in China, kdramas were popular there. I don't remember the exact year, but because of diplomatic tensions (USA influence), China put obstacles to that. Before, it was possible to export both in China and western countries. It's a loss.
There is high chance that korean democratic party win next elections now. And it could come fast if Yoon resigns or is impeached. So, they should align more with NK and China. See? Yoon's opponents will do what you dislike. About Russia, I don't know, as I didn't check the information about their position.
I think it's neither a good party. Each time I read a bit of information about SK politics, it looks like it's doomed.
Celebrities have often zero awarness about real-politics, and as an example for american ones, just repeat what…
No. I've just look back in time how it was. As I said, I dislike Yoon politics, he was like a Biden puppet. He also wanted to set legal time work to 69h/week, when SK is already 52h/week, what is higher than OECD standard. It's a terrible decision when SK suffer low birthrate. His arguments were often absurd, accusing people to be communists, when in a reasonable diplomatic way, it's better for SK to have good relationships with NK and China, the closest countries and historical partners. He failed to make SK a more neutral country.
It's so easy to cause a mess in a perfectly normal country. First, use CIA's power to infiltrate secret agents…
Just happened recently in Romania and Georgia. I'm not sure about South Korea, but as Yoon was close to Biden agenda, I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. For now, it looks like more an individual decision. Or at least, I didn't find any information proving your point of view.
Actually, the South Korean film industry is just speaking for itself because they lost lot of money due to Martial…
Celebrities have often zero awarness about real-politics, and as an example for american ones, just repeat what they watch on CNN. We could see it in USA, when they all called for Kamala, a drunk woman unable to speak other than reading prompter or doing word salad, while this country was going into tyranny, war, endless waste of money, crime, uncontrolled illegal immigration, woke dementia.
Sad thing for Yoon, he's not a good conservative politician, I disagree with what he does and his pro-Biden politics, but he's not a bad man. As prosecutor, he was amazing. At this time, he was linked to korean democrat party. Keep in mind "conservative" and "democrat" aren't the same notion than in america. So it's difficult for us to understand what happen really. It can happen a democrat there have more conservative vision then a member of conservative party for example, and opposite is true too.
Yoon prosecuted and cleaned a lot of corruption among conservative party, then rallied this party (I don't know all details, as it's surprising). What made him the candidate by default, as no one else could win the election. Then, what's a pity, he didn't prosecuted enough members of democrat party, which are as much corrupt! They tried to impeach him 22 times already and sabotaged anything he tried, it's insane. It's why he made this desesperate move, but he shouldn't have done that.
In this story, there is no good guys, and South Korea is in bad condition.

As you can see, there is not much difference with a dictatorship.
It's as absurd as trying to talk to CNN. Have a good day.
