W two worlds Season 2 sc

I'm just starting, in episode 1 !! Already messy relationships.
I loved "Fashion King", by same writer, so it's why I'm watching.

I missed that point. End of the day. End of episode.
Tired, and not really motivated by the drama....

It's a good pitch.

Yes, the drama is fast paced with lot of mind-blowing twists, making a romance difficult to stand. So, in this strange way, the romance is better during a rewatch. Even plot points are difficult to digest. Audience could when the drama was airing (with a full week to think).

Best review I could read about this drama. (is it really a drama or just a netflix product?) Few comedy scenes here and there, but it was empty. You did well to speak about the bad times about changes of tone. Even with just 8 episodes, it was a pain to finish. Hamburger fast food drama.

Funny comedy scenes here and there but the drama is empty. Difficult to end, as I could drop that any time from Episode 3. It's like a drama for nothing. No depth, just a kind of western-like content. Nothing against actors, they did their best, but with such a script, they can't do miracles. Also, kudos to the director who made an amazing job.

She's not only a fan of the manhwa. Start of episode 7, flashback: she created the ML, according to her dream of perfect boyfriend, when she was young, so it's deep. +difficult moments, thinking he's not just dead but frozen forever.

In the police station scene, Kang Chul pushes her to reveal her feelings while he pretends to be angry (well, he's angry, but even if he doesn't manipulate her consciously, he does everything to push her to confess, his last statement are "why didn't you keep living instead of coming back here", etc, in truth he knows the answer but want to hear it from her).

Kang Chul may seems a gentleman, but in truth, he's often rude (using a kind of psychological pressure on her in the prison visiting room, so she confess the truth about the manhwa). And just, damn-it, shoots her in the heart? This guy has a too strong will, and what he wants often matter more than what others want.

The kiss comes from nowhere.

Oh. With the glasses I confused.

The casting is stellar. It looks like a big drama to come, but with just 10 episodes, the feeling of something Epic falls down.

Main actor looks like the same than his role in Study Group.

Moi aussi, mais parle en anglais, sinon les gens comprennent pas ici.

I'm sure the agency is happy, they get an amazing actor!

The jdrama is close to the manga about the story. (not exactly the same though)
And it takes the exact opposite about aesthetic, with a colorful universe full of details, instead of the raw naked black&white of the manga. AND, I think they made the best choice.
Also the jdrama is filmed like it was an anime, with insane nervous breakdowns. it's awesome.

The kdrama is very disappointing once you watched the jdrama, even destroying some games or proposing new ones without any real strategy possible. However, as a standalone, I found that still enjoyable, with one new great idea about making it a TV show and a great antagonist (alas, the protagonist lack charisma).

I don't want to watch the anim, production is too cheap, I feel that useless, as I've read the manga and rewatched the jdrama countless times.

A bit of different emotions would have been welcome, mostly because it would help to for the actress to express more. She often has the same cold face.
I rec you "Miss Ripley" with an ambitious woman of the same kind, but with more inner contradictions. Also, it's an acting feast, the best role of Lee Dae Hae. And it's from a true story. Don't rely on the MDL rating. It seems people had difficulty to accept that the female lead is quite bad, an anti-heroine. But now people catch a bit better this kind of story, as Dear X has a better rating here, while the character is worst than the one of Miss Ripley.

Screenwriter has a word too, at least it's like that for korean dramas.

I was watching his last drama, so I remember a bit. There was something dark and hidden in this situation. Like if it was staged, and someone in the industry with enough power wanted to get rid of him. So they even did a kind of fiction-show (with lot of dramatic music) to amplify the case. You see that, and it jumps to the eyes, it's the kind of fake documentary.

He had the raw charisma needed for playing this kind of fool character.
I'm agree with you, he fits the role. +good chemistry with Kim So-Hyun.
Nothing against the other actor, he worked really hard and fast.

It was excellent, but 3 last episodes were mostly boring.

In last episodes, the writer was facing an impossible dilemma: it's unclear why the prosecutor shoots Kang Chul. But then, he reveals that Do-Yoon had talk about the real worlds (after being tortured). Prosecutor speaks about going into the real world but it's unclear. For this to be clear, it needed the prosecutor reveals that Do-Yoon also said him that the final character alive (antagonist or protagonist) is free to travel between worlds.

But it was impossible for the writer to do it, to get the surprise of the final twist when Kang Chul comes in the real world after the end of the manhwa, that wasn't trigerred by his (fake) death but by the death of the two other antagonists (the prosecutor, and father Sung-Moo who disintegrate because what he did was contrary to the role of his character).
Then this stuff was confusing, and it goes too fast, I couldn't understand until I rewatch the drama. By the way, there are many other points I couldn't get at first watching.

The writer gave a clue in episode 13, when Yeon-Joo daydreams, she says that Kang Chul is free to go in the real world after the end. But as it's a daydream, we take that for something hypothetical, then we forget about it (it's how it was foreshadowed). In thruth, Kang Chul certainly guessed that and told it to Yeon-Joo and Do-Yoon. So, her daydream was based on solid evidence (well, we can assume what guess Kang Chul is most of the time true).
