We know tae eul is a black belt holder, right? Then why they never showed her using taekwondo knowledge? Not even…
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.
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.
Which part did you not understand?Basically to simplify. LG saves himself. LR dies. Since he can't find LR, he…
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.
Many good villains are also good leaders.Look at El Temur (Empress Ki) or Lady Mishil (Queen Seon-Dook).I like…
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.
Can someone give me a good argument of why the PM is considered a Villain as compared to being a tragic hero?Everything…
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.
There's not a lot of science involved. Still, I consider it more SF than Fantasy because of the spirit in which…
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.
This comment section is probably more entertaining than the drama lol. Also, are people actually calling this…
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.
This is a mistake. Maybe it makes sense to give the impression of a non-linear chronology. But the problem is,…
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.
I kind of delayed watching since it was so bad SBS delayed an episode to air a movie released months ago...The…
The PM Koo's turnaround is not that sudden, but indeed it can give that impression. The necessary focus has not been made on this character and its evolution. Obviously, it was drowned out by tons of other situations and characters, often useless. If it had been done better, the PM Koo would have been at the center of more interesting conflict situations, and there would have been no doubt about her growing rage. It remains to be seen whether in the end, this character was really useful, given the way she ends up in Episode 13.
Then please ask them to stop with all their criticism of show, they are not warranted for such a great show, and…
Your posts are disastrous and would have made me want to run away from the drama. I don't need the gossip of a worshiper, and you don't even explain what's good about drama. You might not even know it. Just read those two comments you just wrote. What I'm doing on my side: the good and the bad parts. It gives a lot more opportunity to someone who is hesitant to watch the drama. It will be a confusing, boring, tiring, badly told drama in which the story doesn't move forward. At least people are warned and don't lose their nerves when they see the drama. There is also genius in the way to correlate clues and events, if you can get past the flaws. Sometimes good dialogue, good comedy, and better romance than what many people say. And of course, good acting. If the drama was any worse, I'd have dropped out by now.
I'm curious, am I the only one that doesn't like how KTEM after the end of each episode, rather than continue…
This is a mistake. Maybe it makes sense to give the impression of a non-linear chronology. But the problem is, it doesn't work. This is one of the many negatives of the narrative, which is particularly bad in general during episodes 1 to 10. The problem is that scattering scenes with meaning and clues doesn't mean making good scenes per se, even less so when the order and splitting also sabotages the follow-up of one or more storylines by an excess of broken situations with too many characters.
I don't care if it's a flop. It just annoys me that people are so desperate to prove that it's not a flop. I don't need it to be a flop to understand how badly it's done in some aspects. Goblin wasn't a flop, and this is the most boring drama I know.
I just finished episode 7 and the story is becoming rediculous. I don't know why but the female Prime Minister…
You are on the good way to go to the end ! Thanks for your feedback. At this point you get some good comedy scenes with Woo Do Hwan. It helps not dropping the drama.
