Love your article!!! I watched Sisyphus with some fast forwarding in the middle and it really seemed to miss the…
Hi, fast forwarding is a bit difficult in a drama like this. It's possible to easily miss an important element. I hope you understood something anyway and didn't miss the big revelations. ;-)
tbh this was my favourite article on mdl so far and i loved reading it...probably because i do also like making…
Writing with a actor in mind help a lot. One of the difficulty in setting-up a story is : it's very abstract. The world we make don't have concret reality, unlike the one we see in a drama already on-air. It's start to be more clear while writing, but before that, it's nice to rely on some pictures and imagine the scenes. Gathering pictures about anything like places and sets can help too. Sometimes I even rewrite a little a scene after I got a picture. There is even picture that can help to choose a plot, during preparation phases.
Scene where we see Sigma upload a nuclear bomb to provoke war chain reaction.
There was already near a infinite number of loop before the one we see in the drama. (and the drama show some alternative events at some times, like if it show a previous loop, break, return to the beginning, without showing it, only next scene you understand it was redone). Very first loop is unknow. Maybe just : no war, Tae Sul build uploader. Sigma travel back in time then. Or maybe we consider there was never a first loop. Time concept don't work in a linear way but with a refresh of the loop. You can see in the drama that events can trigger first with people from the future, triggering events in the future where people will travel, a create the initial events. It's paradoxal. Cause and effect law isn't past to future. It's a whole timezone set like that.
It's like : you receive a red cup from someone with a letter saying : travel back in time and send me this red cup. Year later, you travel back in time, write the letter and send the cup to yourself. Where come from the red cup ? No answer except, it's part of the paradoxal way Sisyphus concept work. You can check the cause and effect logic anytime, it work. Cause can be from the future. There is no illogism, but there is paradox.
Hello, I would like to know if this show is of the type "One episode = One case solved". Like "One episode = one house sold, or one ghost chased or healed." ?
That's TERRIBLE news. Disney will poison K-dramas. There's a reason we watch K-dramas instead of Western crap.
Woke as a generality, with very formatted contents, and dubious morality. It remains to be seen whether they decide on the content or leave it up to the creators like Netlfix. However, even with more freedom for Koreans, Netflix also acts as a Trojan horse, choosing certain projects over others, and pushing it according to their agenda, favoring compatible agents. Fortunately, they also buy other dramas for their commercial value. I'm surprised this network doesn't push their buttons more, but maybe it's a matter of time. If Korea loses its cultural specificity, this country will end up like many others. The various favors granted to this country, various prices, are like a call of the foot to fall in the rank, or a thank you to do it.
yes, viki or even viu (since they call River where the moon raises as Viu production), honestly if anyone is interested,…
I was talking with a Korean relative who knows the Korean system. Everything works by master and apprentice. "Sunbae". The writers have assistants. One day, some of the assistants become top screenwriters in their turn. It takes a long time. It's an obligatory career path. The ones who are luckier are those who produce something independent and successful. For example, manhwa writers, whose work is then adapted. But they don't make the story anymore, a screenwriter do it.
if there was a slightest hint of someone reading them then I'd have totally written the full script for all of…
Yeah, you know already that. ;-) With writing it take more time to just draw or sing a song with guitar. But sing a song take years to learn guitar and singing. So, it's a bit the same as final result. It's why a talk about involvement. With writing, it there is no involvement, you start something, then change your mind, jump to one unfinished project to another one. Involvement is different to concentrate or hard working. When there is, it become more easy than you think. ideas are raining down! Coming from nowhere. The problem is more : you can't do otherly to go all the way. Obsession ? Passion ? I wouldn't say that, but for sure, we can't really control this. There is a story, it have to be told. And bad luck, you are the one this story has chosen to be told. You won't escape this. Day and night, it devour all. If you try to run away, you get sick, then you come back and accept your fate. So, you are involved. :-D
The juggler guy is a cool idea, but honestly, I would remove the "mafia" past, except if this drama is a full parody. In this case, the guy who makes the dough is a Joseon baker who traveled across time. :-)
Mix it with Backstreet Rockie. There is a young guy madly in love with her and coming to work in the pizzzzzza. This guy come from a circus and is a gifted juggler lauching pizzas like UFO. Able to send a missing olive onto a pizza from 10 yards. Call it : "My pizza boss is a gangster".

My answer might surprise you, but it doesn't matter if someone will read it or not. If you believe in your ideas, that far outweighs any other form of motivation. In this case, your story will have a better chance of being read and appreciated because it will be authentic, without expecting anything other than to have accomplished the best of yourself.

Comedy was good in Cheat on me. I would like more comedy like that.

Anyway, thank you!

Can Korea produce dramas to conquer the global market, or will globalism engulf Korea ?
