Nah. I disagree. Ep 1 and 2 are refreshing not only that it combines Korean myth with BL, but the chronological artistry in which the story unfolds is delicious too. It’s top notched. But ep 3 and 4 are cliche and boring.
Does it work for the story is the important thing. That a device has been used badly in other productions does…
Nope. “It’s all a dream” is always 100% horrible storytelling because firstly it deceives the audience and secondly it’s a cliche that any smart person can see a mile away. It’s boring. And boring stories with cliches are always bad storytelling
How is it a bad storytelling? Every character has a purpose. And why would you introduce a cameo role/guest role…
It’s bad storytelling because the writer didn’t plan properly. A last minute character is a cheap trick to tie up loose ends. This is called deux ex machina, which has been criticised since Greek comedies thousands of years ago as bad writing.
It’s not about that. It’s about storytelling rules. You never introduce a character at the last minute. It’s bad planning. you wrote yourself into a corner and added a character to resolve the situation
What’s up with Thai storytelling? It’s good until the last part. You cannot introduce a new character at the end. That’s bad storytelling. I’m talking about khemjira and I am the most beautiful count.
