Even if I like this drama a lot, there are always and regularly shells that bother me. Some examples in spoiler,…
The first scene of episode 12 in the future is way too long, and in the end, it's mainly the end of the scene that brings something. Some situations are aberrant in this scene. - Seo hae is walking in the sand and a sandstorm comes. It's the kind of storm that it's better not to face, but we see Seo Hae continue walking. She should have hidden in the cylindrical carcass which was an ideal shelter. - Seo Hae protects her mouth but not her eyes in the sandstorm. This is also nonsensical. If she had an opportunity to use her gas mask, it would be here. Add to this the increased risk of contamination from the particles suspended in the storm. - We see Seo Hae in a forest, suddenly she loses her balance and falls down a slope. She ends her fall in the center of a concrete building. It makes no sense. Even the vegetation around this building is different. We can't see why she landed there. - At the end, Seo Hae and her father stay in the middle of the storm instead of going to a shelter.
I didn't understand a thing. LOLs. What did it add to the story? I mean, we can skip this and go to episode 13.…
It's too much to say it's filler, a lot of things happens, information given, or focus on leads story. But if I look back at ep 11 and 12, it's quite slow episodes. Some scenes could be shortened. It couldn't make 1 episode however. At best 1.5 episodes, so it's a problem. I need to rewatch the episodes to tell you each scene what it add new. Like you, I was expecting something more thrilling on these 2 episodes.
You even have to take a step back because there is a lot of irony, dark comedy, or self-parody.It's an acting…
From the same writer : "The Last Empress". Maybe "Temptation of wife". From some of my favorite writers, step back and direct comedy, bad people, twists : "Incarnation of money". "History of the salaryman". Full parody drama : "Psychopath Diary". Bad people, no comedy : "Sky Castle". Makjang, no comedy : "Queen of ambition". "The Promise".
You are a kind of historian of MDL articles. ;-) Kick Ass fighting need to be refreshed, so many dramas with good fight since then. Recents ones, LUCA, Sisyphus, Vagabond, Lawless Layer. Many historical dramas with crazy good fights, 6 flying dragons, and many more.
Love triangle is a classic in kdramas. You say actual other kdrama about love triangle are disapointing ? Can…
Not more kdrama than this one ? I watched it, and actualy rewatch it because I missed many subtilities of the story. For me Love triangle is ok here, it's quite logic and understandable. Last drama I watched and I really couldn't stand the triangle was Dr Stranger. The new relationship with Kang So Ra looked too fresh and natural and old relationship didn't make any more sens.
The point of this controversy is not about just 'history and fiction'.Many of Koreans feel nasty when watch this…
After reading your comment, I started to think about that. It's difficult to take it as a mistake because the whole drama theme is fiction-horror. So, it's already highly fictionnal. It make more sens to set the history in a fictional context too. Or they wanted to make mad comedy like "Abraham Lincoln Vs Vampires" ?
I think Ji Soo was much better In this drama. Feel so sorry for all this. This is wery hard world.
I have the feeling he fit more the character too and have better partnerships with KSH. Also the new actor look older and too mature (in real he is one year younger than Ji-Soo). But I won't nitpick on this. If they reshoot, we will compare the acting style for fun. But better thing is the drama will be consistent from beginning to the end.
I think Ji-Soo was good in the first few episodes, but what bothered me the most was how hard it was to make the transition with Na In Woo. The chemistry between the two leads was broken. Also, the way the character was rendered from an actor to the other was different, so it sounded fake. Finally, it prevented the drama from being a consistent work of art from the beginning to the end. It is really a brave and expensive decision that KBS takes, and it is also the first time that it happens. So thank you to the channel for doing this. I will enjoy rewatching the drama next.
I find yeonhee really boring this season. I hope the writer has something written for her in the last 3 episodes
She's a bit far away of the action. It's difficult to get her emotions about Rona death too. I didn't use my watch chrono, but maybe she has less screentimes ? If the character don't have significative plot actualy, it's quite normal. I don't know why she don't come back as queen of the opera.
Check it out guys. Bad news for all of us!! Season 3 will only air once a week. https://www.koreaboo.com/news/kdrama-penthouse-script-season2-end-season3-info/…
No many choices. Either they preproduce half the season 3, then we have to wait before airing, and airing is 2 episodes a week. Or the air it soon, but need more time for shooting so 1 episode a week.
I don't understand why every other kdrama is focusing on love triangle recently. And they r not even giving the…
Love triangle is a classic in kdramas. You say actual other kdrama about love triangle are disapointing ? Can you give me some examples please ? I don't watch many romcom these days, so I'm curious to know.
The thing is you can’t ship any character in this drama you just have to be neutral
You even have to take a step back because there is a lot of irony, dark comedy, or self-parody. It's an acting feast, about all these bad characters. I enjoy almost every scene of the drama, there is always something funny that catch my attention everywhere. It's nice to see these bad people struggle, become more mad, nervous breaking, breaking all objects around because anger, hurting and suffer each others. Exorbited eyes So-jin. Endless shocking plot-twists chain. :-D
OMG I HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHT!! That moment made me laugh. Such a strange choice of music and it was so abrupt…
Still, the moment music look like that is very short. Barely 10 seconds. First part of the theme is different. I think it's a good wink to Tony Stark, who also create a time machine. ;-)
i wonder that too, and i honestly found all ep. 11 confusing. were they wandering in time? or in memories? because…
Progressive fade of reality. Start with interacting with reality. Then invisible like ghost, hardly move a glass, then can only interact with other timeghosts. The process is like an oniric one ("time door" symbol), as the drug disrupt perception of time. So, psyche interact directly with when and where they go. It's something like that. It's a bit more fantasy than SF, but you can style give to it this kind of hair fetched explanation.
