Okay, I know I dropped this drama but something has been bugging me for weeks and I can't think of anywhere else…
This was explained in the drama. Maybe luckily, the scene was more legible than usual. That makes me remember it. LG explains that there was a historical difference several hundred years ago. He also explains that the kingdom's technology is lagging behind that of the republic. That's why some characters have 2G phones in Episode 8, which is a bit like how you spot dooplegangers, when you don't have sophisticated means like a cylon detector, or intruders with twisted little fingers. In Korea, 2G phones are so primitive that they must have already been used during Joseon era by king Sejeong the great himself. :-)
So turns out Sin Jae is from Corea. Ah some people had predicted it. Young pretending to be Eun sob was hilarious.…
It's because Yeong is so faithful and obedient, that very good comedy scenes can appear. In episode 8, he takes the initiative, then he is punished. The king threatens to behead him, then finally, he draws a dot on his cheek. This relationship is hilarious. And it was well restored, unlike the comedy scenes of episode 7, which were just as good concerning the gags, but whose cinematography lacked rhythm. At this stage of the episode, I finally thought that the drama was going to catch me. The beginning of the episode was perfect, but unfortunately, the sequel was terrible. Why does this drama persist in disappointing me? After giving me false hope?! T T
So just when the drama the drama picks up (and I start to enjoy it) the ratings go down? I guess it's too late…
I don't think ratings always tell the truth. Sometimes, some dramas are too unknown to have good ratings and yet are excellent. Less famous actors, for example.
But for TKEM, the drama was highly anticipated, the actors and the production team famous. A lot of potential fans. So there, I think the ratings are telling the truth.
What's a bit sad is that despite TKEM's huge flaws, I think that TKEM should have better ratings than Goblin, or rather that Goblin should not have had such ratings. This drama was much more boring. On the other hand, it wasn't awkwardly and/or unnecessarily confusing like TKEM. This aspect perhaps outweighs the general disappointment. Well, personally, it's my main cause of disappointment. Otherwise it's quite the kind of story I might like, and I'm one of the few viewers to be satisfied with romance.
Contrary to internet viewers, a viewer who watches television doesn't have the possibility, the time or the desire to review scenes or episodes, to clarify situations (if it is clarifiable because it's so badly rendered that it's perhaps useless). And it is these viewers who make the ratings! But even as an internet viewer, I don't want to see these scenes again, because they are boring and painful, and I don't like the story enough to be motivated to do that. It is indeed too late, from the first 4 episodes.
So this drama can't be a masterpiece. For that, it requires an effective, addictive, readable and attractive storytelling. A source of motivation that then pushes the audience to go deeper into the subject and review the drama to understand the unsolved mysteries. It doesn't work the other way around.
TKEM Casting...PRODUCER - Are you allergic to chicken?LEE JONG SUK - Um... Yes.PRODUCER - Sorry, in that case,…
You're living in your world of illusion. The fact that I have a picture of LJS has nothing to do with my opinion of TKEM. It's the photo I chose by default when I registered. And it doesn't reflect that he's my favorite actor, but the image of manhwa. It's not a photo but a drawing. My favorite actors are: Lee Son Ki, Shin Sung Rok, and a bunch of supporting actors like Jeon Gook Hwan and Ryu Soo Young. People who showed incredible performances in certain roles. Lee Jong Suk is also a good actor, but I don't see why I would be one of his fanatics. Besides, I'm not a girl, so there's no chance I'll be at his feet because he's handsome. And I don't care whether I defend an actor or not because he's the darling. That's a teenage girl thing. You're only offended at the slightest thought about TKEM, on which I make jokes, but on which I also give a constructive opinion! So you didn't like my chicken joke! Please note that I have no negative criticism to make about product placements. Drama is expensive to produce, Korea is a small country, it's normal to raise funds. I think when you are used to seeing dramas, it's secondary.
TKEM Casting...PRODUCER - Are you allergic to chicken?LEE JONG SUK - Um... Yes.PRODUCER - Sorry, in that case,…
Huh??? I've never read such a crazy comment! You're making up a little story of your own right now. I chose Lee Jung Sok at random, or maybe because I was re-watching the "I can hear your voice" drama, and thought of him. It's just a joke. It's to show that the producer can't pick an actor who's allergic to chicken! (and by the way, I don't even know if LJS is allergic to chicken or not). Hello?!!!
Romance was one of the reasons I was encouraged to see the drama so far. But in episode 8, it's the first time…
The scene when TE makes her confession. She says, "I love you," and just then it looks like she's gonna change the tire on her car. I don't have a problem with her feelings, I think it's justified. But to say it this way, brrrrr! So little emotion in that scene.
Ignore romance scenes and this drama is AMAZING!! The side characters, the side stories with all the mysteries…
Romance was one of the reasons I was encouraged to see the drama so far. But in episode 8, it's the first time I see this romance (admittedly implausible from the beginning) being undermined.
I noticed some good scenes in the episode, but for the rest, it was so painful. People talking about something else all the time, I get dumped. I don't even know if what they say has anything to do with something that was shown and that I forgot. The story of Shin Jae: I passed by, as if that character didn't exist, so much it's drowned out. It's so boring that I don't have the will to make any effort to connect the wires or re-watch scenes. Sometimes I even forget to read the subtitles and think about something else, or I'm about to fall asleep.
Drama fans are always in bad faith. - If someone who's critical is watching the drama, the fans say, "then why are you watching?" - If someone who's critical isn't watching the drama, the fans say, "how can you be critical when you're not watching?"
Anyone else confused as shit? I feel like the story doesn't explain itself well and it feels like I have to be…
Normally, I like this, it's like a math problem. But even a difficult math problem has a clear statement. What's embarrassing here is that there's too much confusion in the way it's exposed. So it becomes annoying.
Waha ha ha. I'm with you on that one, my friend!Yeah, things aren't getting any better for TKEM.Except that it's…
Oh! I don't use complicated vocabulary! But I'm French, and I translate everything I write here with an automatic translator. So it's possible that this translator fails to translate certain expressions. "a posteriori": after it has been done.

Overanalyse is a trope (I can't remember the name of the trope). I know what you mean by that. The idea of finding anything and everything by analyzing something. It's a process often used by "leftists" or SJW (is that how they say it in the US?) to try to prove that such film is sexist, homophobic, or whatever stupidity. Often, they only find what they want to find. So it's a very fallacious process. Nevertheless, this blogger doesn't pretend to hold the truth. And often her predictions turn out to be right. So, it is possible that sometimes she may be wrong with too much analysis, but that does not harm. I often wonder if what is analyzed is what is intended. In my experience, not necessarily. I've written tons of scenes. 24-hour drama. All that in a second state (I don't do drugs!). If I analyse certain contents a posteriori, I realize how much it carries several meanings. A lot of correlations and desired meanings, but not rationally planned. I think that good drama writers do this. And I don't see a lot of other methods. I think it's impossible to plan. It depends on the level of preparation (preliminary structure of the script, character sheets). But the way the script comes later is natural. Sometimes I detect the different meanings at the time of writing. Sometimes I detect them afterwards, after proofreading, and I am the first to be surprised, because it was out of my competence. It would help me a lot if this blogger analyzed my drama! Unfortunately, my script has no success on the internet and nobody is interested in it. :-D
Waha ha ha. I'm with you on that one, my friend!Yeah, things aren't getting any better for TKEM.Except that it's…
I'm not chasing inconsistencies. Maybe at the end of the drama, it will be possible. Since there are so many elements scattered around, it's possible that there are inconsistencies. But I rather think it will be "far-fetched" for some points. Even if there were inconsistencies, I wouldn't blame the writer, because she put so many different elements in place that it's very difficult to trace everything. The audience doesn't realize it, but it's hard to do. In this case, I would just think that she should have built something simpler, so that everything could be coherent. The PM Koo sees her reflection at the moment of timestop. So that requires a rule for that. Such as: when a character arrives in a world, it generates a timestop in that world. In the other world, there is no timestop but a kind of "shock wave". This shock wave generates the phenomenon that the PM Koo sees. Maybe at the beginning of the drama, when Tae Eul sees her double Luna in the car mirror, it was also a shock wave. This means that LL, the main villain went to the world of the kingdom of Korea right at that moment.
