W two worlds Season 2 sc

Be quiet, cheer up! The writer can't ruin a plot when there is no plot. ;-)

Hey hey, I feel like you found a good hole about this transplant.
I wonder if the writer will give a quick errata, anything. Like "the brother had run away from home at that time and could not be contacted". ;-)

It's ok, do it, I'm not on youtube. It's related about plots building, yes. Check the most complicate plot-driven stories. We get something like that in Penthouse, 36x cliffhangers per episodes. Easy to choose one at the end of the episode, but still, she's able to get the best one, almost each times, without slowing down the story. It's difficult because, let's say, you set the cliffhanger but you don't have enough content, so you put fillers. But here there is no fillers nor slow down. The story building is somewhat labyrinthic from the writer point of view. Of course, we spectators don't bother with that, and we just get the result where all flow naturally at fast pace. But behind, the writer need to have good ideas everywhere. Almost no scene is boring in the drama, so the writer prepared that with a lot of ideas, and all this need to be coherent about the storytelling (what is different from the coherence of the realism).

That's what Im killing myself saying since the writer's previous drama. ^^
However, the video forgets to talk about one thing. Despite the absurdity of many elements, the storyline is hard to write. A lot of plot-twists are intertwined, the pace is fast. And you can see that the writer has built the structure of the script before. Not within the reach of the first writer. This is the consecration of her career, after having written a lot of more classical makjang (but also full of dark-comedy and irony), each reaching 50h or 60h of content.

I still think the design of the characters is good. Especially Jang "maggoty". But what the drama does with them is slow and painful. It's a bit of a caricature of character-driven story not managing to exploit its content and find captivating situations. Regularly, I lose attention during some dialogues, my mind goes elsewhere.

Romance? Probably a trap. Jang is a secondary character.
The direction is clean, but almost always the same shots. Quite static, boring.
The script has problems yes. Overused and unappealing dialogue. Scenes too long. Lack of visuals. Characters who tell. Even in a slice of life, it doesn't work. It gets better towards the last episodes, but we still encounter typos. The drama drags itself like a ball and chain.

Yes I prefer the dead stay dead. But everytimes I read comments here, people always want to see their darling alive. So, Shim Soo Ryun was alive, Ro Na too...
It's not pathetic writing, it's more a necessity. Also, it need to keep the cast.
On the poster, there is characters, audience wan't them all. It's part of the game and the fun. Bring back a character into action. Classic twist, and if a drama have the right to abuse this kind of plot, it's the Penthouse, as a crazy makjang.

The pace is beyond anything I watched before. Even, for the first time I could say, a bit too fast!

No you exagerate ! I didn't even understood it was PPL.
But in the episode, we get a true PPL, quite short : Yoon-Hee use a kind of vibro on her face. For once, it's not in a comedy scene. Just a short shot with only that.
I prefer when Seo-Jin throw her nescafe in Secretary Do face. ;-)

Damn, it's a nice idea... But it would make x2 the same trick. It was used already for Shim Soo Ryun. Also, I feel it was really Logan in the car explosion. I rather bet than the actor is popular. So it's a way to give him screentime during season 3, as well to make parody.

This is the kind of extravagant character this writer can pull out of the hat. Like in The Last Empress, with the martial arts guru, or the face transformation in two months. Crack-Majkang! :-)

I also have a problem with the transition out of prison. At the same time, I kind of understand. Putting everyone in jail at the end of season 2 was the best possible plot twist. It would have been crazy to miss out on that idea. However, when you push the limit, you also have to deal with what comes next. The first part of episode 1 did that well, with the hard life of all those bastards in the jail. But if the script goes too far into that, it will end up looking like PrisonBreak. So, it's a bit of a necessary evil from a storyline point of view.

I buy your idea for the ending, but it has to be done in the Penthouse rules: they all fall off the roof... except one person. Who? ^^

Ah ah! No idea.
I try to don't think too much... so I'm surprised by the next twist. ;-)

Hey hey, I feel like Yoon Hee prepare a new betrayal. :-)

Episode 2!!!
Things almost move a little too fast, and I had trouble connecting the motivation of the characters and the plot-twists. Until about halfway through the episode. The comedy scenes with Seo Jin and Dan Tae were good, but also hampered by the change being too sudden. Also, all the other characters are getting out of jail. The most amusing being Yoon Chul who decides to be a big shit who earns money!!! ^^
Towards the end, some situations I really liked, with Joo Dan Tae's daughter for example, who frankly falls under her father's wing. Eun-Byul also, always so freaked out.
Finally... Logan Lee is alive... Uh no, actually he is a hidden brother. A caricature of a rapper full of dough rather stupid. No chance that Shim Soo Ryun falls in love with him, the guy is vulgar, without any class. But at least the actor is back!
Now that the story has stabilized with all the storyline related to the prison evacuated, it should be better. We feel that the writer was in a hurry to finish this situation as soon as possible.

It was something predictable according to Netflix's trojan horse strategy. First adapting to the country in an honest way, then gradually implementing their agenda. They made no secret of it and everyone knows it. It is a way to fund Korean content creators compatible with their ideology and propagate it from abroad.

That's said, I connect more easely with koreans than actors of my own country.

Well, as a man, I can just relate my experience: I don't like romances in western movies and series. Or it's very rare. Romantic comedies exasperate me, except for the comedy aspect when it is successful.
On the other hand, it is a genre that I like in kdramas. Everything sounds more accurate. So, it wasn't a question of the genre of the movie, but of the way it's done.
The romcoms in the kdramas are good. The romance that goes along with the stories with another plot also. And the best in the matter, to have a feeling of truth, is the melodramas. (And slidingly, makjang, because these are two genres that tend to mix often).
Otherwise, like the author of the article, I also like makjang. In sentimental matters, there are some really hard, heartbreaking stories.

Except "move to heaven", I'm curious about these 4 dramas now.
Nice article.

I won't complaint, everything is almost perfect in penthouse. Logan was great when he was the sport teacher. It's later, I have less affinity. I can still see the chararcter is well portrayed. For fun we was saying he's a kind of vampire. Look at his clothes or his hair. He's supposed to be a bit dull on purpose certainly.

I wonder why there was not plastic surgery until then. :-D
