See I interprated that scene this way that her taking out heels was believable because you see she often wears…
I'm exhausted by this drama and I'm running out of time. Otherwise I'll gladly watch episode 4. Even if it's to pick up on weird things in the script (that's interesting to do). The scene puts the focus on the heroine, maybe a reason why this detail was not taken into account (keeping an emotional focus). However, having even a short emotional focus on the hero was just as valid without deteriorating the action. But when I watched the scene, the flaw really jumped out at me as it was so unnatural when he opens the door. However, the writer can forget this kind of logic, it happens and she is not in the best position to detect her own flaw. She certainly has one or two assistants. And they proofread the script. They didn't see the flaw. Neither did the director.

I'm ok about removal of the shoes (Joking a bit here). But the problem is Gong Chan rushing in the room. The writer could just show a very short scene with Gong Chan, moved too, just waiting a bit in front of the door before to leave. It's a typical logical hole in a scene. The writer forgot the timing and the whole situation. ;-)
Same lmaoo what even is that ?? You'd think in 2022 they would stop with the bad writting but nope.
I regularly had this feeling of lack of emphasis. Like "the actors have to recite their lines"... but all is wrong around. I'm not harsh on the elevator scene, because at this point I was expecting something hidden between them (I'll never know, lol). Many other problems like...
- Episode 2, The guy change face but we don't know why or how. It made a series of confusing flashback. - Resolution by the dialogues (even if I notice a minimal effort sometimes for a flashback). So the writer don't use many "show don't tell". - Episode 1, the "this strong woman against a universe full of men" situation. I'm ok with the theme, but it's made really too heavy and preachy. As a result, it gives the feeling that it justifies her bad behavior (when of course, it's not just that). - Episode 2, the widespread cliché about the abuser. Plot-device without nuance. Damn, the situation is badly shot with zero suspense since we know from the start that she's going to use the CCTV from the first altercation. It was necessary to pass all this in flashback afterwards to surprise. - Episode 3, it continues with the crude clichés, the father of the "suicidal" girl who spent everything on gambling. The scene is hard to watch, meh! - Episode 3, allusion to a minor character that we forgot, ex-boyfriend (seen in a scene episode 1), ditto, bad timing of people talking about other people not in the room, with confusion effect. And no short flashback recap. - Copy shamefully "Law School" when she uses her case in classroom.
Episode 3. Example of logic hole in a scene. 59:45.
After a heavy blah blah, Gong Chan leave the room (awesome, Oh Soo Jae is suddenly moved, I couldn't believe it, but that's the drama!). She takes her time to ponder her emotions, removes her shoes (they don't do that first usually?). Why she does that? High emotions need to have feet free ^^. No, just a kind of premonition of the future event in the scene... But that's ok. Goes to take a glass of water. But she's so moved... puts hand on the forehead (omg I don't where I am anymore in my life)... drops the glass... crash on the ground!!! GLASS CRASH!! 01:00:22....... Gong Chan rushes into the room!!! 35 seconds later. The guy never walk away?! Should be in the garden now. Hey, he was just spying, listening at the door, waiting for the glass to fall!!! 😆
Episode 3. Go to 16:40. First time introduction of the family. Enjoy the fun!!
Example of one of the worst dialogues I've seen in a long time in a drama. Exposition under the nose in episode 3. With an unnatural flow. The writer made no effort and throws it away quickly. For lack of anything better, the writer insists very heavily on recapping who is who, with lines where everyone literally introduces themselves. Anything would have been better than that I think. Put the situations in flashback for example. Or even use a voice-over introducing the characters, with a freeze frame effect. Or advance/delay the details in another scenes. I put my comments in (parenthesis).
MOM: What can you do? You have to help your brothers. Your brothers had to serve jail time because of you. You need to help them get back on their feet.
(thanks for the full recap, I was already laughing out loud at this point)
OSJ: They went to jail because of what they did, not because of me.
(the main character does the recap too, surprisingly! it gets even worse)
MOM: Had you represented them, they could've avoided jail time!
(never two without three)
OSJ: Don't forget that I got you out when you nearly ended up in jail too!
(sentence starting with "don't forget", variant of the famous "as you know". of course she didn't forget... the dump continues even worse...)
MOM: How could you be so spiteful and heartless?
OSJ: Should I remind you how much... your spiteful, heartless daughter has lost because of you three?
("Should I remind you", damn... "your spiteful heartless daughter"... heavy emphasis on who's who)
BRO: Come on, Soo Jae. We know. Your big brother here knows that you went through so much because of us.
("your big brother"... heavy emphasis on who's who, it continues in this unnatural way because it's the character who introduces himself each time, making it even more confusing)
OSJ: Shut your mouth.
MOM: That's enough. I heard you bought the building where your dad's office used to be. Is it true?
(thanks for that last recap mom, LOL!)
BRO: Why didn't you tell us?
(ahaha, it continues)
Wonderful "tell don't show" as a DUMP exposition. Reminds me of things like this...
COLONEL: Captain McTrevor, you saved the president during a top secret mission in Nicaragua during which your team unfortunately did not survive the helicopter crash. While your mother died of exhaustion trying to heal you after two years in a coma and the authorities abandoned you and accused you of treason... why on earth would you want to re-engage despite your paralyzed left foot and take part in this new mission in Pakistan to track down the leader of the drug trade Moustiti?
Song Jae Jung is the best screenwriter, at least my fav one. Before to write dramas, she wrote a thousand sitcom…
Feel free to say what you want, I'm not sensitive! Of course I don't take personal attack though. lol!! My nickname isn't for fan reason, it's a reference to my screenplay, so people liking W can check my profil and read it on my blog. ;-)
Ep 3, 6:00, her speech about why the sister died is gross. The episode start well!! I don't remember why her lawyer assistant is here. She was fired from the TK company?
Some solid actors for the bad guys: - Choi Tae Gook, TK director (not sure he's so bad). - Han Seong Beom, Hansu Group. This actor is always good at vilains but I saw him too much (he was in Again my life too). - Baek Jin Ki, Law School director (This guy hide something bad, I've this feeling).
Yumi's Cell is one of the best example of how series is created based on a written material. It is faithful, balanced,…
Song Jae Jung is the best screenwriter, at least my fav one. Before to write dramas, she wrote a thousand sitcom episodes. What made her one of the most experimented. Also she makes Yumi with friends, Kim Yoon Joo who teamed with her on Nine time travel.
If you read the interview about Yumi, you know they took some risks. At first the cells was cartoon, but they made it 3d. More than 3d cells there is a whole list of special ideas (like the blank cartoon guy in season 1, or here the smartphone pop-up insert of cells voice-over, etc).
I don't know what come from the manhwa or not, but to be sure, I've read the "glass shower" situation: there is nothing!! Just the manhwa mention a hostel room, no more. Now watch the situation in the drama, one of the best comical situation, with an awesome building start to finish.
It's a problem related to a lot of korean actress. Watch episode 1 of "why her". The actress has a anomaly in the spine because of that. Agree, it's not good for health, and it don't make the actress more beautiful, quite the opposite.
Thank youuuu for writing this. Just because of this, i have decided to drop it at this very moment!! Seriously,…
Hey, I was answering to the other guy wanting to drop the drama just for that. I think it's better to know first what kind of drama it is. I would be disapointed to see random plot in a serious drama, but here the whole plot is already unbelievable, it's the concept...

I noticed the half light/half dark face of Eun Pyung, so what it means?
This guy is a yoga prodigy!! Or a maso. Or a maso yoga prodigy.
