W two worlds Season 2 sc

Hello! You know I'm fan of SF-Mystery drama too. ;-)
I recently rewatched 3 first episodes of Stairway to Heaven.
Damn, it was better than what I had in memory. So cruel. And the background music!

Your mind is like TKEM it seems. TKEM psychic disorder. :-DDD
Thanks to the many comments on BitchesOverDrama blog, it was possible to synthesize some aspects. Without this preliminary work, it was impossible to write this article. Thanks to you for your help too. You certainly noticed that the line about the number of extras came from one of your comments. ;-)

Hi, thanks for your very long comment.

For a few years now, we have been seeing the evolution of science fiction dramas. It's a genre that has difficulty to take off in Korea, it seems. Even in Korean cinema recently, there are attempts.

TKEM and Sisyphus have several things in common. TKEM had quite low ratings for a public channel drama. Sisyphus did not have high rating, but it is normal for a cable channel like jTBC. Both dramas are very successful on streaming platforms. Sisyphus was first on Netflix in Korea. As well as in the Top10 of most Asian countries.

The writer of TKEM tried to produce a very complex storyline, but the narrative lacked the clarity of Sisyphus. This story was more fantasy oriented. It is still a drama worth mentioning, because the famous scriptwriter took risks and dared to present a difficult content to understand, rather than relying on her usual reflexes, like her previous dramas.

Thanks you too!

Penthouse Director :
Scene 1 - Please Kim So Yeon, make exorbitant eyes.
Scene 2 - No, now you must be more angry, make eyes even more exhorbitant.
Scene 3 - AH! more, more, more! Even more exhorbited, much more !!!
Scene 4 - Exorb those eyes, again, again, to the maximum!
Scene 5 - Exorb your eyes beyond the maximum, push madam, push!
> PLOP! PLOP! <
- Ahh shit, I got an eye in my eye!!!!

Hi, thanks! Be careful, I'm not saying that it's the truth, but just that I bring some concrete elements about it, among what struck me immediately in the drama, compared to others. The spectacular side and the action in particular.

We have already crossed paths on the comment thread of The Penthouse I am sure.
I had posted a joke about it (I'll copy and paste it below in a spoiler). The reason I include this is in the article: the way I watch the drama is the opposite of Sisyphus.
The Penthouse mini-meme here takes into account two factors:
- The dialogue is a parody of the series 24. A line Jack Bauer says tons of times when he arrests someone is: "Put your weapon down" or "Put your gun down". Cheon Seo Jin's eyes are considered as a dangerous weapon. ;-)
- Park Shin Hye has huge eyes!!! She uses them well to cry and is very expressive.

I think that the scenario of The Penthouse is as elaborated as Sisyphus. More elaborate than most dramas, as far as structure and preparation work is concerned, nothing is left to chance. More difficult to produce than anything else because of the high number of plot twists and the density of the content.

Hi, and already thank you for your comment.

I haven't watched Dark, because I don't watch western series anymore. I've seen a lot of comments saying that it was often boring philosophical blah blah on many scenes, and that finally nothing worked on the legs anymore in the later season. Also, the concept is a cave? not a high-tech device. Honestly, I can't compare by myself, other than to relate these comments.
I would recommend watching Primer. A 1h20 movie. It's pretty easy. On the surface.

I can't convince someone who is not convinced, and I don't insist on the other points you mention. It's part of different people opinions. ;-)

Writing an article like this is indeed terribly demanding. Two days full time and then corrections. After that, it takes away all desire to write another article.

I understand. As I said in the article, in a story with lot of plots, it's difficult to make stand the romantic story. I made observation of that in many dramas or my own work. There is few and specific scenes helping love. If you missed it, no wonder why it's difficult to accept the romance in the end.
I never fastforward, I already said that elsewhere. If the drama become unbereable, I just drop it. Or put on-hold, relax, be ready, and watch it again. Maybe the writer don't deserve I watch all, because obviously, they use fillers ? I don't know. I just respect the work and try to stick to it, whatever it is. I'm all-in !!! Always. If I can't stand anymore, I drop. But the problem here, because I didn't fastforward, is, I'm angry !!! Then I post annoying comments about how bad the show is. Every method has its own problems. :-) :-) :-)

Hi! Thanks. How are you ? Comment va la vie ? ^^
I watch some others SF dramas. I missed somes.
Currently on "Circle", very impressive about the script Intelligence/Structure.

Not to be able to go on with other dramas is a very serious sign.
Certainly one of the most important works in your opinion.
Your life as a drama watcher must be difficult now.
I hope you will soon meet another drama that will hit you a lot (even if it doesn't surpass).
Try to change your style instead of SF. Maybe a melodrama for example.
Thanks to comment so much.

Hello. It's more pleasant to like a drama, but sometimes it's impossible.
C'est la vie! ;-)

I am not specialized in writing articles or have a great motivation to write them. But my other activities help a lot. Making a powerpoint for a big company, or writing a story, for example. ^^

Hi, as there were already articles more oriented to like or dislike the drama, I preferred to state some facts. This can be interesting even for people who didn't like the drama. It helps to situate it in dramaland.

Cool! Thanks.

Hi, fast forwarding is a bit difficult in a drama like this. It's possible to easily miss an important element. I hope you understood something anyway and didn't miss the big revelations. ;-)

I dislike that. Something disturb me in this way of writing.

Writing with a actor in mind help a lot.
One of the difficulty in setting-up a story is : it's very abstract. The world we make don't have concret reality, unlike the one we see in a drama already on-air.
It's start to be more clear while writing, but before that, it's nice to rely on some pictures and imagine the scenes. Gathering pictures about anything like places and sets can help too. Sometimes I even rewrite a little a scene after I got a picture. There is even picture that can help to choose a plot, during preparation phases.

I like both. No headache, thrilling!!! ;-)
Comedy was good in Cheat on me. I would like more comedy like that.

There was already near a infinite number of loop before the one we see in the drama. (and the drama show some alternative events at some times, like if it show a previous loop, break, return to the beginning, without showing it, only next scene you understand it was redone).
Very first loop is unknow. Maybe just : no war, Tae Sul build uploader. Sigma travel back in time then.
Or maybe we consider there was never a first loop.
Time concept don't work in a linear way but with a refresh of the loop. You can see in the drama that events can trigger first with people from the future, triggering events in the future where people will travel, a create the initial events. It's paradoxal. Cause and effect law isn't past to future. It's a whole timezone set like that.

It's like : you receive a red cup from someone with a letter saying : travel back in time and send me this red cup. Year later, you travel back in time, write the letter and send the cup to yourself.
Where come from the red cup ? No answer except, it's part of the paradoxal way Sisyphus concept work. You can check the cause and effect logic anytime, it work. Cause can be from the future. There is no illogism, but there is paradox.

Damn.

Anyway, thank you!
