W two worlds Season 2 sc

All your comments in response to this comment are great.
Bravo and thank you.
I admire the structural processes used.
It makes me sad that this potential has been squandered.
I deplore the lack of clear and effective narration.
Nothing new, I'm a pain in the ass who spent all his time repeating it.
Enhancing emotional intensity is what makes good drama in the first place.
What's the point of having complex and brilliant ideas if it can't be conveyed or enhance that?!

The implantation of new memories is just a cut-and-paste of the drama Nine Time Travel. So no hats off. It's just copying other people's ideas and rendering them worse.
But then again, maybe it's just something that was badly rendered and gave me that impression. Indeed, taken in a linear way, it's just normal memories in a new timeline, no retrospective memory implantation.
In this case, yes, bravo, because the concept is much more original. Well, it's been used in a lot of time travel stories. But it doesn't harm, and fits very well into a loop story, as @kimsamsoom evoked.

Oh, now I know why I said Lee Lim had to be alive.
Thank you. (Chuckles)
Actually, I've given up on this idea of time travel where what was meant to be happened happened.
Having no idea what kind of time travel is, I just ruled it out during episode 14, because of the changes in the timeline.
But reconsidering all this, it could be the same loop with minor variations. An interesting concept that avoids paradoxes.
However, I can't accept the idea that Lee Lim will go back to being killed by himself. He is a character who should have enough intelligence to understand this concept after being killed by himself.

In this drama we must discover:
- What you're supposed to learn at all costs, otherwise it's impossible to understand what happens next. Normally, that should be obvious. But since it's done wrong, sometimes there's no way to know. The rest of the drama is therefore painful and incomprehensible.
- What you can see but not understand, but also understand that you are not supposed to understand it at that moment. It's also hard to know if it's normal or if you're missing something.
- What you don't need to understand, but if you do understand it, it gives you information in advance. Sometimes an unnecessary effort is made at this level, in fear of confusing it with what really needs to be understood.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before doing all this, and this is the most important work:
- You have to understand how everything and anything is shown to you. The context, the time, the place, with whom, why. And often it's the most painful because writer/director don't care about that, or worst are often Ok to confuse you unnecessary. Especially since every time it is not done, it is impossible to be interested in the story or to feel the slightest emotion.
- As for emotions, it will be difficult to feel them since you have to go through all the steps mentioned. So, while you're asking yourself a lot of questions, you don't even pay attention to the pretty sentimental scene you're being offered. In fact, even the story in general has become a secondary element.

In the last episode of 9, it's like a bomb!!!
When the female main lead remember what happened to her lover!!!
TKEM re-use this same big idea, but far softer.
In every drama, 9 writer throw an huge twist using full emotional impact with the SF rule of the drama. But each time, it's something new, something no-one used before like that.
Idea of going forth and back worlds. She used this in almost all her drama. Here, KTEM try to this too, and it's such a mess, we never know who is where. Damn. KES pickup best ideas of others and do crap with that.

Every time she sees a knife, even if it's 3 meters away, she rushes to stick herself on it.
Could be obsessive behavioral disorder...
She needs Shin-Jay's Psychologist.

Ah, I understand you so much...

This episode was one of the best, despite many scandalous points:
- Resolution of ep 13 cliffhanger is a MEH.
- Scene where Tae Eul gets stabbed: Completely dumb. Even an apprentice with one year of experience doesn't stupidly get stabbed 3 meters away. It can happen in a later fight, but the motto is to get away quickly if possible. Advice given by any sensei. If you have practiced a martial art, you know it.
- Big mess with the portal-to-portal passages. It could have been made clearer. Again, time wasted revisiting the scene instead of being immersed in the story.
- Even bigger mess with the shifted chronologies between the present, and Lee Gon's scene moving forward in time. The time to understand or review a scene is 75% of the emotion that disappears during a key scene. Really, really fucked up when it comes to storytelling.
- A flood of useless characters. The worst bidet backgrounds of the drama, between the nurse (mother of the handicapped kid for those who remember), the pregnant slut, the PM Koo now useless and restricted to one scene, this huge Ball and Chain of Shin-Jay. Of course, scenes interspersed at cleverly calculated moments to get us out of the main storyline, and fuck us to the core.
- After plagiarizing W, the screenwriter plagiarizes Nine Time Travel, as far as scenes of quick reminiscences of modified temporal events are concerned. What a shame! Maybe she thinks that after all, the audience didn't see those two dramas. And that in the finale, she'll be able to win the bet with the new naive spectators.
This screenwriter may be prodigious when it comes to structure and correlations, but she is one of the worst storytellers. It drives me crazy.

Lee Lim is not over.............. Why will 1994 Lee Lim will travel back in time in 2020, to meet himself in 1994 and be killed again ? Now he know what happens if he try to meet himself. Timeline is changed. Obvious.

Nothing so complicated here, but so badly done on many parts. Could be really best episode, but once again miss it. So frustating.

PM Koo has this kind of potential. Very greedy and ambitious naturally. All the story needed was to push her a bit more for that. Add to that a type of idealism, she reject the class system, and she sure to be in the good right.

Many good villains are also good leaders.
Look at El Temur (Empress Ki) or Lady Mishil (Queen Seon-Dook).
I like these kind of villains. No need reasons, no need even any background, they are like they are, implict powerful character.
These kind of characters are persuaded than they are better leaders than others, or anyway, the only ones to have enough courage, lucidity, realism to take strong decisions. They think than the people is too stupid to understand that, too weak with a fantasy morality disconnected of real politics, and that people need to be ruled without a word to say at.

Wow! You're on fire this morning!
I'll offer you some of my coffee... )B
Advising to watch the drama at all costs can be dangerous.
This could be one more person joining the haters group. ^^

I agree that these controversies were unwelcome and unreasonable. The drama does have a slightly shocking patriotic side when it comes to taking revenge on Japan. This point should be recalled along with the accusations. Production errors that I don't think are that big. It's much less of a problem than general production.
On the other hand, if viewers are disappointed by the confusion and the pace of the drama, it's logical and normal that they drop it. I was on the verge of doing that too.

Great discovery you made.

This is one of the most interesting and spectacular parts of the drama. The writer's work on it is amazing. However, she forgot to be so good at storytelling, unfortunately...
If you want to have both together, look at W, which TKEM recycles a lot of ideas from. It's not necessarily good advice because you will be even more disappointed by TKEM after that. Especially when it comes to narration, pace, unpredictability and clarity.

Maybe it's a symbol of what's going to happen next in the episode.
Again, he's going to fire two shots.

It gave me a meme idea.
LG accidentally kills one of his guards. ^^

There's not a lot of science involved. Still, I consider it more SF than Fantasy because of the spirit in which it's done: everything is very logical in the drama. Even when sometimes you think the opposite. For the rest, see the other comments.

It exudes a lack of confidence.
As if the scenes during the first 20 minutes weren't good enough and you had to use them to wait until the resolution of the cliffhanger from the previous episode.
However, during those first 20 minutes, there are some very good scenes, the drama starts well. But there are also some scattered scenes that are painful and kill the drama. I made the analysis of some sequences on another website. For once it was rendered in a clear and attractive way.
Around 06:30, we see the king's procession. The drama could start here. Then to follow on the scene of Eun Sup at the hospital, then back to the search in the police station, then another interesting scene, then the resolution. This would have been done before 10:00 or even less.
Starting with the scene of the motorcade immediately helps the audience to understand that it is in a flashback (or that the cliffhanger was a flashforward, you can see it any way you want).
The drama prefers to avoid a few elementary narrative rules that allow the spectator to make a connection with the events, that's the mess it makes.
