W two worlds Season 2 sc

We see Eun Ho closing eyes in sad colors. Big sleep or death.
Hyeri florishes as a happy personnality.
Means Eun Ho is the fake personnality and Hyeri the real one?

Yep, and the hypothesis stands. I remember in episode 1, Eun Ho insists loudly that she can't work for the afternoon or evening show.

Ju Yeon + Hyeri - Symbolism

My guess is their relationship won't be love one but healing one. To heal from a deep psychological problem, it needs to go deep in the mind. Then some symbolism about that should be used in the drama. Usually, deep mind symbolism is deep sea or going underwater, but underground fits it. Other references of deep psychological process: Platon cavern and Labyrinth.

Maybe the writer did it on purpose, maybe not. Sometimes, you write and don't know why you have some ideas. It needs more time to decypher the meaning, as the ideas contains deep psychological meaning not obvious at first glance. It's from general archetypes or collective unconscious.

Ju Yeon is on surface the psycho-rigid guy you know in the office or as anchor on TV. He can't let himself go, on an emotional level. To solve that, comes his strange encounter with Hyeri.

Underground symbolism: This happens first in the basement. Scene of the kiss.
When he decides to meet her again, he have to open the door of "another world". The picture shows sky, but to go to heaven (healing), first he walk down the stairs behind. Needs to go deep to work on the problems.
Hyeri is like a shadow, deep in Eun Ho mind.
Then, they can meet together. He doesn't need to play the role he has to play on surface. He can keep it secret, underground.

Parking - Ordered mind.

Why the writer choose a job in a parking? Hyeri could just carry boxes of documents in the office. Again, I have no proof it's on purpose. Maybe. Or it could be she has the idea, and intuition says it's the right one. Or she did post-analys of the idea and found a coherent meaning.

I think the parking is a good picture of a healthy psychology. When people have a problem but their mind isn't clear enough, what happens? Instead of putting the problem away and solve it when time comes, they ruminates, and the problem stays in the mind, while it's time to concentrate on something else.

The parking does things well: a car park during a while, then when it's time, goes out. Each thing in a box. Everything's ordered like a well working mind. It's psychologic, aka Psyche + Logic.
When the parking is ordered, the street is clean. But during a scene, there is a mess. Car are stuck in the alley, they have to push them. It's what are problems you can't put in a box, clustering the mind, obsessional thoughts.

Sleeping Beauty.

Hyeri kissing Ju Yeon looks like a "wake up" kiss.
Just, roles of the tale are reverted. This man needs to wake up.
And it's what happens next in the drama. He wakes up after the kiss.
Maybe, once healed, he will be able to date the pretty Hye Hyeon?
I ship them for the final.

Yes, it makes more sens she knows about her disorder. Else, it wouldn't be logical she has two appartements in the same building. I was misleaded by the scene when Hyun O confronts her in the office and she doesn't react when he talk about her weird attitude of previous night. But maybe she faked innocence.

Now, why Eun Ho doesn't have visits with the psychiatrist? With the first hypothesis true, I can imagine the psychiatrist said to Eun Ho she needed to meet Hyeri instead, to solve the disorder.

4. Yeah! I didn't mention it in my Ep2 comments, but there could be a plot-twist of this kind.

3. The apparence of the two identities is so different that I find no way to recognize her.
4. We can only conclude the split personnality disorder was triggered after they break up. But this disorder came probably from a much earlier trauma.

Ep2. Ah, it's interesting now. So I comment.
People ask questions here, most of answers in this comment and previous one.

At the psy: Hyeri has no scar on the arm. It confirms the body is Eun Ho, older sister.
Eun Ho clothes are different of Hyeri ones. I can't see how she live in the same place without noticing she's has double personnality. About administration files for the two jobs, ditto. She even write a diary!

Only thing sure: the whole character doesn't sleep more than two hours a day, because the two jobs would be impossible. Just being anchor 5AM to 14PM takes her 9 hours.

Here the scene when she falls asleep. The director doesn't want to show us the clock when she falls asleep, then she wakes up 4PM. But we notice it's made like a continuous shot (just one cut). We hear the "tic tic tic" of the clock non stop. So, it's like: she falls asleep, and less than a minute later, she wakes up!

Then she changes place. Like she has two appartements. What explain why she can have different stuff. It's still unclear what is her mind during the time she walks from one place to the other.
Now go back to a previous scene of the episode: when Yeon O sees her and calls her Eun Ho. Just after, she panics, like she doesn't know who she is. She runs the stairs and seems going randomly in the building. It was foreshadowing of the two places. She didn't know if she should go into Eun Ho place or Hyeri place.

Next scene: she goes to work but forgot her badge and can't enter.
My guess: as Hyeri becomes more aware and she's the one knowing the double personnality, she starts to take more ground on Eun Ho.

Yeon O ask her about the strange scene last night. I was attentive about one thing during this scene: not once Hyeri said she was Hyeri, just she's not Eun Ho. I think it's because if Yeon O hear "Hyeri", he could just say to Eun Ho "hey, you said you were Hyeri". Then it would ring a bell for Eun Ho, as it will remember her sister. But it's not the time yet for that in the story.

Parking cabin: Hyeri is agitated, dances. Another clue her personnality wakes up, and will take a larger part in the global mind.

Hyeri goes out under the rain. She removes her coat, so we see her tee-shirt with a print:
"Maison de". It's french and means "House of". It's quite absurd to have such a print because you expect to get "House of dragons" or "House of someone". But here it's "House of" then blank. It can't be "House of Hyeri" because she doesn't exist, she's a psychological complex.

Ju Yeon asks for the kiss. Long scene for nothing, we won't know! ahah.
But main point here is to show the disorder. She could says "because you are my crutch" what's partly true. But there is something else, probably related to Eun Ho life and her failure with an anchor. So she cries because a kind of psychological crisis she can't explain. There is also this young anchor (who kissed her) but she rejects him. But I don't see how it goes in the mix for now.
We enter melo and moving scenes, and a real challenge for the actress.

Kinda funny: now Ju Yeon lost his "parking angel" and can't find a place.

Thanks to a dialog with the pretty Jo Hye Joo (Hye Yeon), we learn Ju Yeon is stuck in his life.
He opens also this door with "beyond is another world", and this door leads to the parking.
Also a voice-over from "Hye Yeon" about he should "open the door" to get unstuck, his inner door.
Everything leads to Hyeri. Something weird happened in his life, this unknow girl, sensitive.
Even absurd it sounds, at this time he could dare something.

Some mic-mac about the gift with 1000 stars, but eventually Ju Yeon open the gift and read her letter. In previous dialog Hye Yeon says those stars are made by hand. Kind of gift needing lot of time and devotion. Follow flashbacks, he could see she takes care of him (by the way, he sees her guard his place previously). Sometimes noticed her in the building, or even see how she hides shily when he comes. We can see it as touching, or a bit scary (as if she's obsessed).

I think he won't be scared, and we get this idea with comparison with Hye Yeon.
Hye Yeon is always after him, bothering him. He's her crutch, and she harass him. He dislikes that. He doesn't want a girl obsessed like that. And we see Hyeri is opposite. She hides when he comes, she helps him discretly, without a word. Sure, he's her crutch too, madly, but she will never bother him. They are a good match together.

See next scene: she confess she had a crutch for him, but then ask nothing more and leaves,
Hye Yeon would ask for a date, if he had single nice word for her, like nice words he said to Hyeri, like to excuse himself because he was cold and made her cry. (what wasn't really his fault)
Then she wait for him far away. It's to him to take a decision. She let him this freedom. When it's time to choose a place where to speak, again, she doesn't take the decision and let it to him.

Well, now it's crap. He said it's his first kiss. Good luck to explain that with such a handsome guy. Dose of psychological problems he has should be huge for something like that to exist.
Else the dialog and situation are nice. Slow paced but interesting.

Gosh, he invits her at his home. He should notice she's a bit retarded. I suppose he's too, at least on an emotional level. (so the "no-kiss until now" absurdity)
About that, we see more his profile: ultra clean appartement, military photos, we guess psycho-rigidity. And a photo of his brother. Of course, dead. So we get a psychological link between his situation and Hyeri, who is the remanent psychological image of a dead one.

She says to him she's 28 yo. But we know Eun Ho is older (damnit, she says her age becore but I didn't take note). That makes sens as she don't see herself as Eun Ho.
As it's late, he let her sleep in the guest room. But she wakes up as Eun Ho.
We enter a spicy situation.
In fact, she slept into his bed and him on the sofa.
She takes her bag and leaves, avoiding this spicy situation.
Goes to work in Hiery clothes.
Next a good comedy scene, a co-worker talk about a girl having a one-night-date.

Eun Ho accepts a job, documentary about fishes.
But we see it's at night. How's that? It's supposed to be Hyeri time.
Or she doesn't switch personnality, as long as she doesn't sleep?
In this case, anyway, Hyeri would be missing at her parking job. But to avoid the plot-hole, I remember they said earlier the documentary was during week-end.

51:00 - Funny SMASH CUT. We are with her co-workers. She says "nothing should happens to me", and we jump on her terrified face in the fridge truck, as she sees a body.
She's locked in the fridge and I didn't expect a deadly situation in this drama.
Alas, tension is broken because the drama enters comedy mode now.
At least, for once, the writer didn't play the card of "smartphone doesn't work here".
Co-worker doesn't answer. Scene goal was to force her to call Hyun O.

A co-worker saves us, then comes a blurry silhouette, alien shot.
Scene is uselessly long and a bit weird, to fit the drama song.
It's Hyun O, coming as reinforcement (or maybe he called the younger worker too).
Just we get the idea it could reconnect between the two of them.
She ask him why he came, but it cuts before the answer, as cliffhanger.

Conclusions, or rather, early guesses:
- Eun Ho and Hyun O looks like the final couple. It failed in the past because of Eun Ho, who didn't solved her trauma (linked to Hyeri death). It probably failed too because of him, at least a little, so the character develops a bit.
- Hyeri and Ju Yeon is a healing relationship, about accepting death. Ju Yeon accepts death of his brother, and Hyeri accepts her own death. But I should rather says Eun Ho accepts the death of Hyeri. Then, she won't have anymore a split-personnality disorder, and Hyeri will vanish and stop to be an autonomous psychological complex. Eun Ho will just have a normal souvenir of her. Eun Ho is unable to have this souvenir now because it hurts too much, but as you can't hide forever a truth, truth manifest by personnality disorder until it's healed.

Ep2. Something remarquable. First scene, with two sisters. What is a clue for the psychological mystery. Maybe one died and the other assume the two personnalities after the trauma.

- In the bath: nothing I noticed. But about colors, big sister wears blue.
- On piano: the bigger one (older one) with blue dress, other in orange dress. We see something written under socks of older one (not sure what, doesn't look exactly like "hyeri"). Younger one has a white inscription impossible to read. Like erased.
- Drawing: "my big sister, me". Old sister with magical wand. Little one simple, flower over foot.
- A sister with cut in the arm: it's difficult to know which one, the scene gives impression it's the older one. The other at the windows seems younger and screams "hyeri". She wears blue dress, it's not obvious, but should be older one.
- A photography, but one of the two sisters put a red balloon before her face and we can't see her face on the photo. A good symbol of the one who vanishes in the deep mind of the other.
We see the cut on the arm! And it's the little one.
I presume the blue dress with magical wand is older sister. And the little one is Hyeri.
When father calls "Hyeri" for the photo, it's the little one coming late.

My conclusion now: the one who disappear (death?) is Hyeri. Then, she slip into big sister mind. It would be a fairy trick to make her revive. When Hyeri goes to see the psychiatrist, it should be Eun Ho instead, but Eun Ho is unable to know she has double personnality. So it's her other part doing it. If Hyeri died, it also explains why she looks so creepy, like a ghost or a zombi, with no memory. She's just a ghost in Eun Ho mind and surive in a small part of her brain, not allowing her much more to do or to think.

Two personnalities are connected. As Eun Ho had a failed relationship with Hyeon O, as a balance, Hyeri is interested by another Anchor. Of course, it can't be by chance. Can be a part of Eun Ho wanting to be successful in love with an anchor.
For other psychological clues, we get the idea of who is Eun Ho in episode 1. Someone possessive, or rather, needing too much attention. The poor dude couldn't even clean the room. I guess it could mean something later.

About trauma leading to split personnality. Maybe it happened a long time ago, but the split personnality was triggered later. Else, I don't see how Eun Ho could live with Hyeon O and he didn't see that. Maybe the trigger was the break-up, I don't know yet.

Well, I'll continue episode 2 now.

Most catchy scene was last one. Too bad it's introduced by a cheap plot-device, the madwoman armed with a pickaxe. Now the madwoman will go to jail for attempted murder.
Anyway, this scene is:
A creepy woman kiss a man in a basement by surprise. He doesn't react, as she just helped him before. But she kisses him again. At this point, maybe he liked the first kiss, or it was a "super special sweet kiss". We'll know later? Not sure he got time to see if she's pretty enough, it's a dark place. She could be old, ugly and creepy. I'd avoid that. I don't think it really stands in a melodrama. This kind of scene is from cringe romcoms. I even ask myself: is it real? Or a Hyeri illusion?

It's difficult to find the tone. There is a bit of comedy, but feeling outdated.
I watched other dramas with this style, so I'm not too much surprised.

On episode 1. It's quite boring and not really a catchy scene. It's wordy, and some characters are mostly here to make FL speak. At least, it doesn't force too much on comedy, and a bit of mystery.
First 15 minutes are badly written, lecturing. It pissed me off, and I was about to rage quit.
It put me in bad condition, but I still watched the whole episode without judging, and it was better.

He said himself he can't sing in the past. Probably his fans know it too. I don't think people expect he could sing well during this kind of live performance. It's mostly an heartful moment he shares with them.

I don't remember the event. I watched that on youtube.
It was a meeting with fans.
His voice is unable to stand on high-pitch. So, when I could hear the song of WYWS, I was stunned too. I guess they used tool like Melodyne, very used in musical industry. It allows to edit sound pitch without modifying the voice. Anyway, I'm happy to get this beautiful song, and I like the actor and most of his dramas.

I just did a quick search, I can't say it's the event I was talking about but listen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKFbCdJE208
Such a number of wrong notes is spectacular. I sing better than that. 😅

I could hear a live performance, it was terrible, hardly a correct note. But the fans were happy to welcome him, and it was kind from him to do that, when he sings so badly.
However, on While You Were Sleeping OST, he performed a wonderful song. But it's made in a recording studio and I bet they used pitch correction.

At episode 13, I can already say I never watched a sageuk with so much deaths.
There are a lot of fights, battles or massacres.
It's an excellent drama with great acting, characters, relationships.
It's weird to see so few comments, like the drama has gone under the radar.

It was painful to watch. On episode 1, there is at least one good comedy scene thanks to dialog and situation, but rest of the time, comedy is mostly to add cringe sound-effects, like the ones in Korean TV shows. Let's say, a character overacts, blinks eyes and you hear "plic-plic". That's supposed to make you laugh. And it's endless all along the episodes. Dropped.

I start this drama. Hooked by fast-paced first episode.
First shot is a field, agriculture, as it's about a peasant revolt.
Director is the one of Six Flying Dragons.

Thanks. It's okay, I've ended the drama now. 😘

That's also a bit my feeling. My conclusion is the love story was one sided, maybe not at start, but ended like that. What makes a quite original story.

Here I found this BTS. The actor has good physical condition and performed action scenes:
