Trust is the magic that changes the world, not technology.
Hi! You are here too ? ^^ I'm not fan of messages in dramas. But at least, this one isn't overload the story or force it in some ways that aren't the thrill. It look like a small reminder at the end. It come more from the logic of the story itself than a predetermined element. Well, my way to see this.
Song Jae-Jung produced, for the 2nd time after W, a drama with an unique high concept in MOTA. Ok, we already watched stories with virtual reality, they are many. But I never watched something specific to augmented reality.
I planned to watch this drama since 2013 can u imagine this.????but I wasn't into extreme age differences between…
This small age gap is necessary in the story, we see this in episode 1, with flashback scenes. Later, this is not a point the writer drop and the script has logic in the way the relationship is because this gap. Revealing personnality of the characters. Male lead is more mature than most of people, because of his special ability. It give also funny scenes with the two lead, at FL home. The gap is also very well took into account when it comes to the SML.
First time I watched this drama, I was a bit disapointed by second half. Then I rewatched it 3 times. So, I changed my mind.
I rewatched more time episode 1. As I think it's one of the very few drama to have a "perfect" episode one, about screenplay and chain of events. Doing both exposition, reference to the past, and main plot unfolding. With very intricated scenes. Like, when the FL tell her story to the judges, it jump to flashback, jump to judges again. They want to know what follow next, just as us, audience. Then the episode continue, using process of this kind. Emotional scenes are also very powerfull and direct. No time is wasted. It go to the core, each moment of the episode. The problem is after watching episode 1 again, I often start to rewatch others episodes. A bit like a reflex.
This drama was just fabulous for a sci-fi. To begin with there was a balance between science and fiction. But…
The ending can still be decyphered in a logical way, but as the clues we get are small, it's hard to make a definitive opinion. The most important for me, it was a true emotional ending. ;-) Glad to know you liked the balance Science/Fiction. Not many people talk about that.
Perfect example of how not to make a sci fi series .
As a SF addict, I've quite the opposite opinion. I don't say that for starting a fight about that. Just than people can have very divergent viewpoint, it's good to balance a bit.
A discussion with you could be nice, but I'm sorry to don't have time to do this. I already posted many comments or analys about the drama, and now it's over.
Maybe MDL will publish a article from me about the drama, there is a part related to the SF concept. It's not really an opinion article, but more a list of specificities. Even if I enjoyed the drama, some others people already writed articles with the goal to say how they liked.
i haven't finished watching this drama yet but now reading the reviews i don't think i will... is it really that…
If you are on the verge to drop, I hope it's because you don't like it, and not because the reviews. Or just end it, as there is only 4 more episodes and a lot of answers, explaining many points you didn't catch until now. It was big mysteries drama, and for people who didn't guessed yet what happen (most of the people), you end to know what. ;-)
I ended up really loving this drama. I was so invested in it! I'm curious to know your thoughts on the ending...spoiler…
It's a bit difficult to say again what was already said. You will have to search a bit for more comments, here, on soompi forum or bitchesoverdrama blog. ;-)
8.5 to 9.0 stars for me.- I don't know why but Park Shin Hye.. I didn't see her chemistry with JSW as a couple.…
Your rating is realistic. Considering some others dramas don't have the right rating. I already spoke about that, the fact it's better to have a scale. But people don't rate like that.
The Asia Mart old man and Seo-Hae's father are my favorite characters. Haha, I didn't expect that. Despite the…
It's one of the good thing about badly rated dramas. You think first it will be the usual boring drama full of fillers or dull action. Then... You fall into THAT! Almost the more spectacular drama I watched, even if it's not my favorite one.
I'm currently debating whether to watch this drama or not, especially since a lot of people mentioned that the…
It's better to have watched some time travel story before. Sisyphus has quite an unique and complex high concept about that. Even if it sound simple at first. But good thing is the drama give many answers. Not all of them but almost.
The ratings are so low, should I watch it or not? I usually only watch kdramas rated 8+
The rating here mean nothing. I have far more chance to be disapointed by a drama rated 9 than another one 7.5. First, people rate heavy. So many times, 10 is just "I liked" and not "how much I liked". Is there a scale ? When there is a drama I like, I don't always rate it 10. If the general rating is 7.3, I could rate it 8, even if like it as much as people who rate 10. It's just I try to have a scale. By doing that, my 8 rating don't contribute to really help the general rating.
There was on article on MDL, a few week ago, about "underated dramas". The author article, then many people in the comment (me too) gave their favorite underated dramas. Worth of 9 rating like, at heart.
That reference to Madame Bovary lmaooo but well, you explained it so well !!
Tu passes donc le bac cette année. Bonne chance!! Et n'oublie pas de bosser et pas juste regarder des dramas. ^^ Cela peut être malgré tout utile, si tu le fais en analysant un peu. En Français on m'avait demandé d'analyser deux pages du bouquin. Chaque élément raconté est censé avoir un sens. Cela marche un peu comme un scénario de drama au fond. S'il y a une description d'une maison par exemple, quel est l'objectif ? Les détails peuvent dire si c'est une maison pour les riches, les pauvres. Si une partie du jardin n'est pas entretenue, pourquoi l'auteur veut faire remarquer cela, quel sens cela a dans l'histoire, etc. Mon choix d'username est juste lié à mon projet d'écriture actuel. En phase de correction maintenant, mais j'ai du mal à m'y remettre, il faut que je m'isole et m'investisse pour ça. Si cela t'intéresse, il vaudra mieux en parler en MP.
It's one of the more fast paced drama. lol! Except rare dramas like 365 repeat the year, Penthouse or Empress…
It's a very clever way of writing. The drama is suitable for those who take it entirely at face value, as well as for those who take it with more hindsight like me. Moreover, the style of the drama tells directly to the audience, even before the beginning: this is a crazy makjang, there will be almost impossible or unrealistic things. (or even unrealistic things done on purpose for some parody scenes or some plot). It is useful for the audience to know this, because it is easier to let go. Nobody will try to nitpick, we accept the author's contract. From then on, it becomes very easy to get involved in the story without having to criticize it. You can watch The Last Empress, by the same writer, and same style. You will see a series of scenes totally illogical on purpose (identity change), it's a parody of other makjang doing the same kind of plot. It's exagerated, so we know it's for the fun. But the whole drama is also for fun too, even if it's more subtle and don't go in such extreme comedy scenes.
Showbiz Korea has its own rules!!!Even though she is a talented young actor, if she behaves badly, she can be…
You said it, it's in the hands of the Koreans, not ours!
Changing idols makes little sense, because no celebrity can logically have an idyllic past. This is the most fiercely competitive environment. Only those who are strong and confident enough can succeed. This means having a strong personality, knowing how to defend yourself, fight and outdo others. On top of that, it means having a stressful life, not really suitable for peaceful and quiet private relationships. With difficult times when Agency try to control your life, or media are always looking for a scoop about your private life.
Fatally, one will always find, for any celebrity, an affair or two from the past. And with a malicious media, this will be amplified or distorted. People who worship celebrities they believe to be blameless are just fooling themselves and prefer to live in illusion. Add to that the fact that actors have to display emotions of all kinds and extremes. It is an amplification of the emotions they have experienced in their lives. They would not be where they are without all these elements.
Knowing all that, I don't care if my favorite actress is not the so good girl we think she is. Maybe tomorrow we will learn Kim So Hyun slapped some girls at school ? So ?
It would be better to sort out the benign from the serious, to separate the current behaviors from those of the past. There have been very serious cases that deserve public attention, prostitution, drug trafficking, rape. Putting more trivial acts on the same level loses the scale of values.
And hotel del luna... The guy was close to a buddha, lol!Or maybe people consider he is "the worst" because he's…
Thanks for the recap, I watched it a so long time ago. There was many misunderstanding in this couple. Many way for both of them to be angry at each other.

The hero is really kind, because he don't fire them. lol!
