That seen has so many Cinderella vibes hasn't it? The talented step daughter being hidden by wicked Step Mum etc…
A scene is striking in episode 1, and right out from a fairy tale. When adoptive mother bends over the FL in the hospital room. Dressed in black. She's like the evil queen in Sleeping beauty, an archetype of the evil mother. This scene feels like a fairy tale with the queen villain... ... and FL beauty about to meet her last sleep. Death.
Hi there! Kate here. So enjoyed your thoughts on this and glad you are enjoying the story telling despite the…
Hi Kate, your message is a ray of sun here.
Yeah, you had feel what I could resume here. But luckily, the drama stand out dispite that. It was just a short hard time to overcome.
I'm picky about screenplay mistakes, but very forgiving about characters choices and attitudes, because anyway, human soul is irrational. And as you pointed it: the sudden change of the FL is disturbing, but soon we discover she navigates between her new and old soul.
Like you I noticed that too: because the writer makes her mind change for a 180° when she comes back: the first scene when she rejects her "ex-future-ex-husband" comes fast and powerful. So, the writer choice is credibility Vs dramatic hook. Choosing dramatic hook, probably the best choice, it put us deeper into the fun, and you explain it very well. That why I said I'm not picky about this and prefer to see what happens with that. ;-)
Start-up is fine writing. It's a story of serial type (to be continued) but the writer manage to create a thematic…
It's a bit off topic, so I'll put in spoiler tag. Other than Hye Ryun, mine are: - Song Jae Jung : W, Memories of the Alhambra. - Jang Young Chul +Jung Kyung Soon : Empress Ki, Incarnation of money, Giant. - Kim Soon Ok : The Penthouse, The last empress. - Kim Young Hyun + Park Sang Yeon : Six flying dragons, Queen Seon Deok. -------------- - Park Ji Eun: I like but not in my top list. My Love from the star is my fav!! I need to watch more from her. - Kim Eun Sook: long list, but she made various style. I didn't like recent dramas, too slow. I liked older dramas from her. On-Air, certainly the best dramas about drama production. - Kang Eun Kyung: bad luck make I watched nothing, except (I realize now) Bread, Love and Dreams (king of baking) that was an awesome drama. I remember a scene when she make people cry because someone is making bread. No. Crazy. I was about to say more, but I checked and you didn't watched this one. So. shht no spoiler. Sure I'll watch more of her now, and try Dr Romantic.

I have a short list of favorite screenwriters. It's possible when they have an enough long list of dramas. Now I know their style. Maybe additional writers could enter, but it's hard to be sure when they have only one or two dramas, even excellent ones. Else some others writers with a long list but I watched only few, so I need to check more if they hit most of the time.
If Bo Geol is Ki Ho, I still can't get over how he is treating Mok Ha. I have no idea how they'll successfully…
I don't know how dangerous is Ki Ho's dad and what he want to do here. Anyway, the director show him like a typical psycho-killer in the chase scene: Mok Ha runs, but he just walk!! Cliché way to say: dudes like Halloween or Jason. Then he can still catch up with her (thanks she clumsy falls).
Woo Hak flash memories: not necessarily Ki Ho's ones. - Maybe the two brothers where here this day. - Or he watched that on a cam record of Ki Ho.
Only sure thing now. Ki Ho is Bo Geol or Woo Hak or is dead. For proof the scene in the diner hall, when WH says to BG he got flowers and a card from Ki Ho. And sure too, Bo Geol knows who is Ki Ho.

Hey, we are on the same page about this writer. Start-up had big success, but me too, I prefer her previous dramas. I'm not sure why, probably because they are more dramatic? I feel better on track with episode 1 of Castaway Diva too.
Question - Is While You Were Sleeping as well written and engaging as Start Up and this are? Because this is probably…
Start-up is fine writing. It's a story of serial type (to be continued) but the writer manage to create a thematic per episode, related to start-up compagnies. Brillant.
While You Were Sleeping is power writing. There is more dramatism, situation of life or death. And also a fantastic high-concept. I prefer this drama. Even more, warm and tender scenes are intense, and I prefer also the OST. Episode 1 (first hour) of WYWS hits hard. One of the best Ep1 I know.
Park Hye Ryun is a best among the best screenwriter, yes. She has an unique style and regular thematics, about healing, tenderness, growing, achieve dreams. Often she makes people cry with something positive rather than negative (like a character death). She always find a way to move you deeply, and I can't really put her dramas in the romcom category.
"I hear your voice" should go in your list. Also one of the best Ep1 ever. As well as "Pinnochio" and "Page turner".
HEY ADMINS! Are you here? Is there any Moderator on this site? I'm f-cking fed up with people who can't use the…
In the good old days of Penthouse, everybody was so excited that spoilers were everywhere. I think an usefull habit when coming in the comment section is: Never come here the day after episodes are released if you didn't watch them.
I can imagine the writer... sipping on a cup of coffee each time she throws in a twist....that diverts us from…
I rather imagine her taking pills against headhache, because it's so complicated to set-up such puzzle in a so twisted way but still have a valid solution.
You are missing something, why would Kang Woo Hak have a flash back of Ki Ho's dad knocking on his door as a teenage…
Memory flashes aren't subjective view. Weird, isn't it? Ep1, 12:40. Cam recorder on. Ep1, 59:46. Cam records in the bag. Ep1, 1:03:12. What happened later to this bag? What if, somehow, Woo Hak watched that on record, before amnesia.
I know the episodes are getting crazy and crazier but I'm loving it lol....also most of the stuff happening now…
I don't know how to say that: I'm ok it doesn't make sens. But now it doesn't make sens too much. It's all over the place and I have difficulty to stick to a storyline. My favorite episode was episode 2. Focused, intense, a hellish pace.
I am a bit confused. There is Lee Hwi So in a room writing post-it. But did I see well? He have mattew lee face? Then there is this other old dude on a island. Who it is? The same guy? And by chance KKT washes ashore on the island and an old dude finds him. But is it the same island or is it a 3th dude?
Pairing Mone and Dohyuk as a real couple (Not DH playing her to get her trust like in the begining) is a twist…
It was in book since quite a while. By small touchs. For example, in the island hotel, he protects her and fights another guy who want to abuse her. (sorry I don't remember who it was, but the guy got beaten hard).
There are always amusing details everywhere. The painting gallery manager, with an employee holding the tail of her blue dress. The ridiculousness of rich people.
Ep13: It's really insane and even in western series, I didn't saw a guy tortured like this. (see spoiler below).
First, K destroys KKT balls with a club. Then, he pours clorhydric acid on his dick. Even if this poor guy escape alive, his love story with Geum Ra Hee will be dead. This writer is insane, no wonder why her shows reach the point to be almost banned. The worst is she inspires me in my writing, and now I do also insane plots. T T

Anyone know who is the actress? I don't see her in the casting, even as an extra.
Other than Hye Ryun, mine are:
- Song Jae Jung : W, Memories of the Alhambra.
- Jang Young Chul +Jung Kyung Soon : Empress Ki, Incarnation of money, Giant.
- Kim Soon Ok : The Penthouse, The last empress.
- Kim Young Hyun + Park Sang Yeon : Six flying dragons, Queen Seon Deok.
