Rewatch episode 4, it's obvious. Except last good scenes, no one want to see a Tv show so messy.
I'm wondering the same thing. The mistakes I see in the drama seem impossible for a writer as experienced as KES. Yet she makes a lot of them, such as the multiplication of isolated situations. As far as readability is concerned, the director must play an important role. Lack of experience as a senior director. The majority of the scenes are flat and empty, they all have the same atmosphere. Little ambient noise, no background music. This does not match the style of the actors or the situations. For some scenes that are terribly bad and useless, I wonder if KES did not entrust the writing to her assistants, and kept only the scenes she wanted to write (the best ones in the drama) for herself. It seems that the work on the structure, the logic of the story and the key scenes has been done, but the rest is a mess. The editing work is minimalist in the drama, as if they didn't have time to do it.
I seem to be speaking harshly, but I took notes on the majority of the scenes with glaring flaws when I revisited the drama. I wrote down how and why it's bad. There is no doubt about it.
I redid the sound editing of an important scene, which goes completely unnoticed in the drama:

This drama is such a mess that in episode 9, after reviewing the episodes twice and reading some analysis on the drama, I still don't know if the bookstore is in the world of QOK, ROK, or both. Even more impossible to know in which world are the characters inside the bookstore.

I've never seen so much incompetence in making the content readable as in this drama. Instead of wondering about the mysteries of the story, we're just trying to read an illegible writing that would have been written by a fly using its droppings.

Euler's number. That's what he uses to keep track how long the universe he's in pauses for
What make no sens except to look like a crypto cool and flashy math like stuff, but totaly inconsistent about to keep track of time. Just shity fake nerd show of.

the product placement in this drama is atrocious like i don't mind when they have brand names shown on screen…
Until now, I was Ok, but Episode 9, it's really abusive. Because the scene and dialogue are not natural to the drama, but are real dialogue of an ADS.

My predictions:
- Tae Eul will get a death fight with Shin-Jae. I have a feeling about that but don't remember the clues.
- Prime Minister Koo want power, hate social classes, don't want political power be limited by monarchy. She will ally with evil oncle. I don't know the issue, but she could be Korean president in Republic world.

"why can’t lee Gon share why he is able to travel between worlds? What’s so precious about that information when he was able to share more personal and traumatic experiences to ET?"

Maybe because plot imperative. Remember the very first scene of the drama. Tael Eul interrogate evil oncle LL, look like a flashforward. And she don't know what the flute is. It's juste a speculation. As there is no context about this scene, it could also be a flashback from an alternative time loop reality.

Worth watching? I wasn't necessarily blown away by episode 1 but it wasn't bad. Does it improve?
It's worth seeing. I get upset about this drama a lot, but I'm watching it anyway because it also has qualities.

Yes, there are huge flaws in particular areas. Extreme confusion on the side plots, heaps of characters difficult to recognize or memorize, badly distributed isolated scenes without a follow-up storyline, badly managed elipses, bad choice of director/scriptwriters to make it legible. It becomes very painful when such a scene later has an impact on the main plot, and causes misunderstandings.

If you focus on the screenplay frames that have follow-up, it's pretty good. Not really thrilling or addictive, maybe it's a writer's choice. The directing isn't hectic either. There are often good ideas, surprising dialogue, and no inconsistencies. Great logic even on details.

The romance is good but does not please the audience. It's a bit too original because the personality of the characters is different from other dramas. In my personal opinion, sentimental scenes are strong. This screenwriter has always been good at it, at least!

The actors are correct, Lee MinHo equal to himself, rather flat, but good charisma, without overplaying. From time to time, he wakes up and is more expressive. Gentle character, intelligent and sometimes funny. The lead actress is perfect, taking into account that she doesn't have a face as expressive as other actresses like Kim Tae-Hee. Kim Go Eun is more subtle.

"I love you" ???? ????????ma'am hold up what??I'm gonna need you to repeat that for me please lmfaoHonestly?I…
Lots of funny and surprising scenes. I'm not bored with the romance! ^^
Very beautiful piano music too, at the beginning of some romantic scenes.
The first meeting alone is worth its weight in gold:
Grab the girl, and crash hugging her on your shoulder, in slow motion! :-D

Seriously, why are people allowed to write reviews with only 1/2 of the show aired? It's ridiculous. MDL should…
To make it even worse, these people are winning votes ahead of time. Which means their inaccurate reviews are going to go to the top of the list. ><

the show still gets 8.5% ???? this show deserves a 7,5% its so outdated.
Too high ratings are often what makes a disappointing drama even more disappointing. :-D

Just watched 1st episode and the music as well as the rain just made me miss memories of Alhambra :(
I love MotA so much that I prefer not to compare, which I made the mistake of doing at first. It was so much more exciting and more readable, while it was just as complicated, if not more so. Anyway, now I prefer to focus on TKEM for its own qualities, although it is difficult.

I understand you perfectly well.Even better, I had negative expectations, I was ready to be disappointed!And I…
Yah! It's nice to meet someone who feels exactly the same way.
I also like the sentimental story in this drama. My problem is that I would also like to enjoy the rest of the story, especially since I usually like this kind of story.
For the moment, and in doubt, I ended up considering that this kind of story was not appropriate for translation and a western audience. You have to pay attention to the details rather than read the subtitles. And recognizing so many Asians and Korean names is not easy.
So I'm going to rewatch the episodes to compensate for this problem. There I might have a clearer vision, or be just as disappointed. I expect to be disappointed, because after Secret Garden and The Heirs, this writer hasn't written anything I liked. But you never know...

Can we just think for a moment how amazing actor Woo Do Hwan is? ♥He plays little clumsy, funny and sweet guy…
Nothing special about this support actor. He does the job, no less, no more.

Exactly! That's why I don't believe in these so called low ratings since the amount of comments, apology letters…
You're a very empathetic person.
I dare, shyly, to ask you if you'd like to go on a date.
We could eat chicken at a fast food restaurant.
Hopefully it's romantic enough.

Ratings match comments.
Ratings match a genius like me.
It's mathematical, like Euler's number, and 0s and 1s.
I know the truth hurts.
Now, I love to hate this drama.
That's why I watch it.
Just like everybody else, or almost!
Please don't spoil what little pleasure I have left.
Consider that the one who suffers the most in this story is me.
Have a little compassion!!
:-D
I'm the King.
So, love me, too.
Because I'm the King. ^^

I'm two episodes in - but I came in with absolutely zero expectations from hearing so much negativity/backlash…
I understand you perfectly well.
Even better, I had negative expectations, I was ready to be disappointed!
And I was pleasantly surprised at first.
And then...
I wasn't disappointed about being disappointed.
About being disappointed, there's no chance of being disappointed. ^^

This was explained in the drama. Maybe luckily, the scene was more legible than usual. That makes me remember…
If the drama was well done, there'd be no need for you to be asked that. Did you see the movie "Inception"? Did you have to go back and think about something? No, everything was crystal clear. And yet it's also a complicated concept. It's only after the end that it's nice to see the movie again, to try to solve some riddles, like the end of the movie. TKEM is a mess that asks the viewer to do what the director and/or the screenwriter has the laziness and/or incompetence to do.

Lemme make a list of them from ep 8 right here:1)Tae Eul's multi-purpose moisturizer 2)Jangmi's Kimchi 3)Prime…
The main actress is very good. I didn't spotted that the scene with the lipstick was a product placement!
All the scenes in the drama were boring at the time. And in this boring scene of hiding in a car, something original happened, which helped me to remember the scene.
But : it was just a commercial !!!
Ok, I'm pathetic..... :-D
