Interesting point about being able to listen to music we like over and over again, I often listen to OSTS to relive…
Yes, I guess, when you watch a MV on youtube with the drama song and scenes excerpts, you feel it deeply. Goosebump, or even a tear. ;-) But for a more large aspect, people don't focus enough on background musics. It's the core of the drama (with some sounds effects too).
Finally, as I took time to write more on this, there is also a important reason to rewatch. It's for creative people in these fields: Screenwriting, Novel or Fan-Fiction writing, photographers, people learning cinema techniques, maybe apprentice directors, or any other field related to creation about stories, screen.
The only way to improve is to dig deep, very deep, so to rewatch and analyse. It's more usefull to rewatch deeply a bunch of dramas than watch an hundred ones in a superficial way. Just pickup the favorites. To catch strongly what makes a drama or a scene good or bad. In some cases, it's usefull to rewatch what we think is a bad drama. Because it's easy to analyse what we don't like. Once we know why and how, we know what to avoid to do. Analyse what is good or great is difficult, often it doesn't only rely on the single scene. There are many inputs from previous content, the plot-lines are interwinned.
It's possible to make speculations also, what if it could be like this or like that? For example while watching first episodes of "so I married an anti-fan", I found the drama flat. There was a scene, but falling flat. Here, I got many ideas on how the scene could be better. There is the process in the other way: this scene is way better than what I could imagine. Why and how it surpass my expectations? What was all the elements in or out the scene needed to makes this moment so intense emotionnally?
"Time is..." part. Most of the time, we just miss average shows, or "it's good but not great" shows, and if unlucky bad shows (then we can drop). So it's always worth it to rewatch a show we think is great.
"Sad is still sad..." In any first watch, there is a disorientation effect, because we need to assimilate too much content. We can't focus and concentrate enough, there are too much details. And we think about the rest of the plot or try to understand too many things, or even, we couldn't understand many points before. Maybe we even missed a meaning from a previous scene, leading to the sad scene far later. All that make we miss a lot of the emotional aspect. So, for sure, a sad scene is more sad on rewatch. If we add other elements (acting, music, mood), further rewatch will always provide sadness and goosebump.
"Excitement!" In this part, you relate it well. We know the plot-twist, so why it's even better to rewatch when we don't have the surprise anymore? You can be sure the scene itself is so well made that it makes you feel the thrill endlessely, each time you rewatch it. Actor, directing, background music, way the tension is build in the scene. Editing also. I don't know from which drama come your animated gif, but we see very fast after the "punch", there is a shot on other peoples in the room. So all the dynamic of the scene is like a ballet or a music. And any music we like, we can listen to it every morning.
"Only the Good Stuff..." When the drama is worth the rewatch, almost each scene*** is a good one. There is no reason to skip anything. Also, to dig better in any aspect (scenario, direction, acting), no reason to skip too.
***: if well made, any scene have one or more goal (related to the plot, characters, etc). But any great scene has also a good standalone value. Just try that: you know nothing about the script or the drama, you jump to a random scene and watch-it. Even if you don't understand how it impacts the story, you are entertained by the scene. And you think, "wow!, I want to watch the full drama now".
I guess we never get the answer to why the tablet has its powers...
On your profile you say: "I care more about the Art Direction, Narrative, Cinematography, and Editing."
Just watch that so. It's the best screenplay I know for now, among kdramas. It plays a lot on meta logic of stories (and its own story). Others aspects you mention as well are outstanding. Many Background musics as well.
About the tablet or the reason of the paranormal phenomenon, it's a element that don't need explanation, but we know why this object is important, and we know how the paranormal phenomenon trigger. Of course, we will never know the deep why (scientificaly speaking), but on a philosophical way it makes sens.
There are many reasons why and how rewatching is important. Sorry I can't list now all you missed to say about that. (lack of time) Any first watch is always superficial. But of course we rewatch mostly what we sincerely liked a lot.
The screenplay is good. I notice how some scenes have Intercuts with others or flashbacks. All is done to do that exciting, visual, clear and punchy. As well as the sequencing of the scenes are interesting. In one episode, a cliffhanger resolution is too long (over half the episode), what can be painfull (I remember King Eternal Monarch overusing that). But it didn't happen again after (about 10 minutes resolution).
I found an interesting case, a Flashforward cliffhanger scene, but used at the beginning of the episode rather than at the end of the previous episode. Surprising! I had seen this before in other dramas, but rarely. It's like a Teaser.
Lots of ideas to make the situations less easy, the various twists. Some classics, like the "refusal of the call" towards the beginning.
I also note how good is this writer at portraying Vilains. Lawless Lawyer was a good one, and Remember War of the Son got one of the best vilain ever. The vilain in MPD isn't disapoiting too and unfold step by step to show how harsh she is.
At one point (maybe episode 5 or 6), the script let you think that it was going to be isolated case resolutions. I was disappointed, but soon after... it's like the writer anticipated my reaction or didn't like it himself. In doing so, the cases are so intertwined with the main plot that it is exciting.
There are occasional scenes that follow up on secondary characters. But since they are in situations that I am curious to know more about, it is a bonus. Only, by the end of episode 9, I'm worried about the length of the drama. The plot looks like a 24 episode drama now, or maybe more, historical drama feeling, or revenge on the long run. How to conclude this in only 6 episodes?
On 4 episodes, the script is excellent. No wonder why with a so good screenwriter. But the direction is also good, even the director is less experimented on paper. Last scene of episode 4, he does well the feeling of uneasiness, with the image tilting from one side to the other. Just before we get a serie of ultra-fast flashback shots with drums effect like blows in the face.
The drama is powerful, fast, hard hitting, with smashing background musics or sound effects. (Maybe the same team of musicians than Last Empress, same style). I like also the fact the drama has his own universe in the military.
About the plot, it reuse tropes, like amnesia, parents murder, revenge, etc. And it's ok, anyway it's tropes we will always find anywhere. It's more the execution that makes it good. We feel something funny in that, like the writer play a lot with that and joking around. Slight Penthouse style, or Lawless Lawyer, one of the previous drama of this writer.
It's a slug and drag, but with a so good idea, I can't stop watching. There is a lot of sweet moments, and even more cute with this beautiful cat. The actor play the role good enough, so he have cat reactions.
Is this really one of the best korean dramas of all time, like many comments/reviews say?
I just watched episode 3. It's a kdrama in the same style than Penthouse. Not only Makjang, but also Self Parody. And fast paced story. The screenwriter is really good. He wrote Lawless Layer before (same style) and before a more Melo one "Remember war of the son" with a beautiful ending.
Both lead acting here are so good. This is among the best chemistry from kdrama I have ever watched. The ML is…
Directing too. Experimented director. About comedy, a lot rely on acting. Just one short moment Ep4: when they do a high-five one, check the expression of the FL!
I have the feeling the ghosts stories are more parody here. The first ghost: he die and lose his pregnant wife, but when he wanders with the protagonist, he looks jaded, out of mood. Weird. The second ghost: the crying scene of his son was so awful, I couldn't take that seriously.
Maybe they'll give her the powers once they're established as friends or smn because rn the only thing keeping…
She have the same kind of power than the old shaman lady. She can "feel" the ghosts when they are close (for now, only when they pass through her). The old shaman lady can speak with them but without earing their words. She just feel their intention and a general meaning.
