W two worlds Season 2 sc

A bit of different emotions would have been welcome, mostly because it would help to for the actress to express more. She often has the same cold face.
I rec you "Miss Ripley" with an ambitious woman of the same kind, but with more inner contradictions. Also, it's an acting feast, the best role of Lee Dae Hae. And it's from a true story. Don't rely on the MDL rating. It seems people had difficulty to accept that the female lead is quite bad, an anti-heroine. But now people catch a bit better this kind of story, as Dear X has a better rating here, while the character is worst than the one of Miss Ripley.

Screenwriter has a word too, at least it's like that for korean dramas.

I was watching his last drama, so I remember a bit. There was something dark and hidden in this situation. Like if it was staged, and someone in the industry with enough power wanted to get rid of him. So they even did a kind of fiction-show (with lot of dramatic music) to amplify the case. You see that, and it jumps to the eyes, it's the kind of fake documentary.

He had the raw charisma needed for playing this kind of fool character.
I'm agree with you, he fits the role. +good chemistry with Kim So-Hyun.
Nothing against the other actor, he worked really hard and fast.

It was excellent, but 3 last episodes were mostly boring.

In last episodes, the writer was facing an impossible dilemma: it's unclear why the prosecutor shoots Kang Chul. But then, he reveals that Do-Yoon had talk about the real worlds (after being tortured). Prosecutor speaks about going into the real world but it's unclear. For this to be clear, it needed the prosecutor reveals that Do-Yoon also said him that the final character alive (antagonist or protagonist) is free to travel between worlds.

But it was impossible for the writer to do it, to get the surprise of the final twist when Kang Chul comes in the real world after the end of the manhwa, that wasn't trigerred by his (fake) death but by the death of the two other antagonists (the prosecutor, and father Sung-Moo who disintegrate because what he did was contrary to the role of his character).
Then this stuff was confusing, and it goes too fast, I couldn't understand until I rewatch the drama. By the way, there are many other points I couldn't get at first watching.

The writer gave a clue in episode 13, when Yeon-Joo daydreams, she says that Kang Chul is free to go in the real world after the end. But as it's a daydream, we take that for something hypothetical, then we forget about it (it's how it was foreshadowed). In thruth, Kang Chul certainly guessed that and told it to Yeon-Joo and Do-Yoon. So, her daydream was based on solid evidence (well, we can assume what guess Kang Chul is most of the time true).

You first point is something I saw in few reviews, and that gave me the idea for this comedy scene. I think you could have a laugh at it:

(for context: it's W season 2 fanfic with lot of new paranormal problems. But there is a little subplot used for meta parody: Kang Chul became an actor in the real world, after W ending, playing his own role in the W adaptation into a drama, then Han Hyo-Joo plays the role of Yeon-Joo. They are at a party for half of the drama shooting.)

I completed Episode 6.
There is a reason why there is this kind of setup at the start.
I think you need to trust the writer, see how this story unfolds and be surprised.

It's also horrific but yet, I think it's the best with a condition: if we like the smart and non-sens humor into it. The writing is gold, heavely twisted. Made by "Parasite" (the award movie) writer.

This drama is good, yeah. I mean:
Just the first scene was gold, so of course I wanted to keep watching.
I know it's same writer than "My liberation notes", but I find this drama even better.
Awesome portaying of ML from the writer and acting from the actor. It's such a blast!
Huge number of good lines, I already have dozen of screenshots.

OH DAMN IT !!!!!!!!!!!!
I made a crazy error: I watched Episode 1, maybe a bit of Ep2, then I clicked on the wrong episode.
Watching Episode 5 until almost the end, when I realized it wasn't episode 2.
But you know what? The story still made sens and I couldn't really feel it.

Episode 2, there is a closeup on his screenplay, and strangely, the format isn't the one of kdrama screenplays, it looks like western screenplay. However with more space allowed for dialog lines.

No romance, but the drama set up lot of sweet and intense emotions in relationships:
Father - Daugther, Husband - Wife.

Oh, she would have no problem to keep realism or logic, but she's just ready to sacrifice anything if it leads to better dramatism. And there is a kind of balance in fiction, the more realist it is, the more it's slow paced and you wait for a twist. In the other way, put lot of crazy plot-twists and it becomes impossible to keep realism. Few dramas are able to keep logic even with lot of plot-twists, among my favorite, W, 365, MOTA. But about overdramatism, no-one can go as far as she go.

Nice review. I have currently a good time with this drama.
But I'm rarelly (even, never) disappointed by Kim Soon-Ok.
And yes, I could dig a bit the manhwa, the drama is radically different (what's a lot better).

I'm at Ep4 and something I like: usually in many kdramas, anything related to bussiness is blurry.
But here it's quite clear and we understand the contracts, the economical and financial aspect.

I was finding strange that a writer like Kim Soon-Ok adapt a manhwa, so I took a look at the manhwa, then I understand. She just kept the concept and few things (even a dialog when it's good) but remade everything in her writing style.

It raises the chances to create a boring story. Years ago when I was planning the structure of my main kdrama, I had a girl character without flaws in the story, at least, it was my intention in this preliminary phase. There is even someone in the drama saying "she is the archetype of the pure and innocent girl". The problem is I could do nothing with that. Any scene I could imagine was flat at the root. And even, it was not accurate with the logic of the story. Then, I gave her flaws, that I think were the flaws she could have, according to her condition. And BANG!! Just this character could magically generate good scenes and even plot-twists.

Oops, sorry. I just read your review by chance, coming from another website, and clicking on the first "in-beetween" review with not good, not bad rating. Only thing I could check in the main page was "Kim Soon Ok", and by the way I thank you because without that, I wouldn't have check.

I started the drama, and on episode 1, it's really nice, quite perfect introduction, as Kim Soon Ok is amazing at, classic exposition of all characters but with neat clarity and already heavy dramatic (what helps about clarity by the way).

According to your review, it should be messy after, but I'm supposing I'll enter the crack-makjang time, what I must confess, it's also what I'm waiting for. I think your review is quite accurate about standard dramas, like "Reborn Rich" for example (I like this drama, even the end, different from the manhwa, and probably better). However, it's maybe the wrong way to catch a Kim Soon Ok drama. I remember that when The Penthouse was airing, lot of commenters didn't catch the style of the writer. And I was already aware of it because I watched previous dramas from her, and the moment she switched to crack makjang with "The Last Empress".

I didn't know it was from a manhwa. So strange that Kim Soon Ok works on that, but as I watched episode 1, there are some characters quite typical from her stories, like the rotten kids of the cheabol. I'd be curious to see the differences between the manhwa and drama but for now I'll just watch the drama.
