If you're going to make a hospital drama with medical events central to the plot, GET THE FACTS RIGHT. Emergency…
There are some of these mistakes that would be forgivable in a drama with a different main theme. But here, you are perfectly right. If the main theme is the hospital, the investigation work should be done seriously. The main interest of a drama taking place in a specific environment is precisely to get something authentic and instructive out of it! Also, it could make the story better, using some situations from real life.
I always watch SF. For example, I didnt watched Alice yet. There is bad reviews, but I'll still watch. I'm almost sure there is good things in it. Even if I'm disapointed during the show, it's not wasted time for me because I like the genre, and I'm curious to know how kdramas progress in this genre. By the way, I wrote an article about sisyphus but I don't know when MDL will publish it. It's more about that than an opinion article to say the drama is good or bad. There is already a well written article about that in the "currently watching" category.
If we look at big SF movies, there are only a very small part that are good if you look for hard SF. Star wars isn't really SF but more western in the future, for example. But it's not a anticipation of what technology could be. If you readed the whole Dune saga by F.Herbert, you know it make much sens because IA are forbidden. Hyperion saga is also more SF than what movies make. You get some better SF when it's immediate future because it's more easy to anticipate.
Many SF movies need action, fights. so a story like Elysium with Matt damon will get gunfight, stunts etc, it's SF but the SF part is a bit burried. This other movie "the martian" is great as both a survival movie and showing Mars, I don't think the ending stunt is realistic, but I can deal with that, it won't make it a bad movie, and an explanation is provided for the trick. If we go in this way, even the scene from 2001 when Dave come back in the starship isn't fully accurate. But nobody tried to do that in real life. And the director provide enough elements to make it acceptable, as part of air from the bubble go into the SAS.
Today I nitpick far less than in the past and focus more on dramaturgy and sufficient meaning. For example, during first episode of sisyphus there is a spectacular scene no much or no less than what you get in many blockbuster movies. But suddenly, I don't know why, dramas watchers (who spendt their life to watch kdramas with a big number of inconsitency) have a sens to say what's realist or not. How crazy is that ?! Ive made a complete decomposition of the scene, step by step, and actualy the writers did a job than others writers don't make in movies. Each step have trigers and there is a reason for all what we see. very good job.
Also, as a writer, I know one thing for sure : you have to decide. - Either you tell a story with a lot of plot-twist and it's impossible to make it fully believable, only thing you can do is to make the event chain logical. It's a fondamental law I experimented. My only goal (and also expectation when I watch a drama) is : don't be boring! - Either you write a pseudo documentary story with no crazy plot-twist, like movie Appolo 13, based on true facts. It's nice too, it's sharp, but you need a full movie to exploit one situation, when a breathless story with lot of turns and twist will give 10x situations like that or even more. So you need shortcuts.
You know, reviews arent always accurate. I didnt wrote one for this drama. If I read review and popularity, I will watch Goblin. I did, and it was the most boring thing I ever watched, so I dropped. ;-) I watched "Love in sadness" before to read any review. I loved it, and I was surprised the rating was so low.
Yes because the drama is serious, like Signal, it's dramatic, no comedy. So it's easy to "suspend incredulity". And the communication process is better used than in Signal. The drama is easy to understand. I'm at episode 12. Of course, the concept is surreal. It's not like people who build a timemachine like in drama Sisyphus. You know from the start there will be no explanation why it happens. But related to the story, you know there is a human link. If I want to nitpick I will say the small butterfly effects are not always take into account (some, but not all). When there is importance in the story, you see them, and big butterfly effects make the difference. It wouldn't be possible to tell the story with too much butterfly effects anyway, from the narration point of view.
Take inspiration from dramas. In dramas people are always polite, they never say insults or vulgarity. And yet,…
You have been canceled by cancel-culture. Damn-it!!! Pssst, send me private message and say me. ;-)
And for any people who are part of the riot... Do you see now how bad you make the world ? A world without comedy! Eternal damnation wait for you, for such a profanity.
So many long ass paragraphs written below when these debates can be solved with only one word. 3 words actually…
Take inspiration from dramas. In dramas people are always polite, they never say insults or vulgarity. And yet, their words are harsher than anything in other non-drama series.
People who get angry, make false accusations, judge on incomplete basis, shoot insults are weak. They don't even have a moral compass and are desperately trying to find one for futile cases. There is a correlation between their fears and the things they denounce or are indignant about. It's just a reflection of their own deep-seated insecurities and behavior. We can see that those who spend their time judging bullying cases act exactly the same way. They are willing to bully anyone else who gets in their way, hopefully with just words. This is the dark side of themselves that they refuse to admit. So they try to exorcise it by choosing an external target.
You know, it's exactly the same things as the characters of Penthouse. So Jin spend her time to accuse others of what she do. Writers know that, basic reversal psychology. As a writer too, I often feel like I live in a world of blind people. But I know I'm just one-eyed.
Well, I came here to say this, but I just saw there was an affair about actress, LOL!
lol, yes, lol. Because I wrote other comments out of purpose by the way. But maybe you want to be my girlfriend? And give me orders on when I have to laugh or not laugh? That's not going to work between us because you'll have a lot of nervous breakdowns. I'm more of a free spirit and stubborn. I don't obey my girlfriend if she asks me irresponsible things. Like for example: - if she orders me not to play my role properly if I were an actor. - if she orders me not to put humor in what I write. Afterwards, maybe you would like it? Even if you have abusive demands, I would never comply. Nobody could accuse you of being abusive or manipulating me. On my side I would just find that it gives you some charm, but also that it makes you a pain sometimes.
I really don’t understand how people are saying she’s a bad person because of private messages that were published…
Anyway, there is a malicious intent behind this case. From this point on, there is no judgment to be made. It's all manipulation. The entertainment industry can be frightening, the big agencies have control over the public and private lives of actors and other idols, and crazy tabloids look for scoop. No wonder there have been cases of suicide because of this.
I ended episode 6. Until now, it's flawless. But beware : there is no comedy. It's not dark, but serious. Concept come from two others dramas : Nine Times Time Travel (for the updating process) and Signal (for the cross time communication). But it's better exploited than Signal for now.

Yes it's low. On public channel, even lower than low rating on cable.

Maybe you could try "World of the married".

One funny thing lost in the abyss.

They need to refill it to get indignant about a future new buzz. XD
