I know this young lady via drama Goblin. My first impression about her is she looks different from other korean actresses. Hahaha... But i like her since then, because the more i look at her, the prettier she is. She looks a bit like chinese actress Chien-Lien Wu. They don't have big big eyes, but they are what they are. KGE has good personality, self-confidence and talented. 

 

After Goblin, i spend sometimes to watch all her movies and one drama. She is really good in portraying any roles. Somehow, i dont know why the Korean people keep commenting her looks. I hope she don't get upset what they are commenting, but continue to give us her best performance in every project.  

 

KGE is pretty especially when she smile, people who make a bad comment abour her looks must be beheaded or thrown into space without spacesuit

I think they are gonna destroy Lee Gon in 1994 before he sets up his plan stopping him there which will alter everything we know and beginning a new timeline. I think it will become necessary to stop him there with the new timeline set I smell season 2

I love love W-Two World!

Though the ending still left me crying buckets before I'm appeased.

 

 

I'm kind of a W Two Worlds specialist, since I wrote the season 2, amator but serious project.
Currently, I've started to write an article comparing this drama with The King: Eternal Monarch. It's a detailed study to explain why TKEM doesn't manage to get as good ratings as W did. It's focused on efficiency, more than personnal taste.

 

TKEM basically has a complicated and rich plot, and the screenwriter KES has managed to put a flawless logic into it. A lot of perfectly consistent details used regularly in the drama. This drama is really huge in terms of its qualities.
These are two dramas that have the same principle, logic, mystery, mind-blow, and an equivalent degree of complexity.

 

If TKEM's storytelling had been as good as W's, I'm sure that the drama in general would have been almost as good. In any case, it would have made it into my Top 10, or even my Top 5. And... Good ratings!

 

W's scriptwriter, Song Jae-Jung, is less experienced than KES in general about dramas, but she doesn't hesitate to focus first on the pace of the story, and is specialised in SF complicated story. (note: she is less experienced for dramas, but more in the long run, she co-wrote thousands of sitcom episodes). And on the other hand, KES is less experienced than SJJ for a script of this kind. I don't know what happened. Maybe she was overwhelmed by too many ideas and couldn't keep up with it all. Or maybe her intention was to expose her world quietly, with a pace comparable to Goblin's. But again, that didn't work.

I watched her movie...Memories of the Sword. She really is talented.

I noticed the calendar the first time I watched, but can't come to any conclusion.  I've just been watching and waiting for an explanation.  I don't see how time could run differently in Korea and Corea, however.  After 500+ years they'd be way out of sync, and you'd see that after crossing the portal.  Maybe we are seeing a timeline reset.  Maybe LR is time traveling by changing his watch and crossing the portal.  But for sure, the calendar is not a mistake.  I've had my eye on mom's shop, because there is definitely something fishy going on there.

Acvording to the plat bearing Lee Ji Hun name..he died on the 28th Dec 1994. This news is before 28th Dec....is ROC real time/date is different from KOC. I would understand the time different? But date different?

I hope somebody could enlighten me

Did LL also “forget” his umbrella there?

 

Something fishy indeed...

Yeah, I sometimes troll a bit there, and sometimes make fun or serious comments.

I have a lot of interest in TKEM in a meta way.

I ve made some meme too. I post them here regularly.

Can I give my honest opinion? W started off great with a fascinating first half but became a train wreck the second half. TKEM started off slow but is now heading for a banging ending. In my opinion, W got out of hands while trying to be mind blowing. On the other hand, TKEM’s revelations are all mind blowing yet, make sense. W had great execution but the storyline for the second half wasn’t great so it was fun to watch but I had to turn off my brain. TKEM has a great storyline but lacks in execution. The execution the first half could have been more engaging had the pace been faster but just personally, I don’t mind when a story takes its time to tell. Of course, I’ll have to judge once I see the ending to see if I still feel the same but that’s where I stand right now.

One thing I learned from watching KDrama is that you will always get over the last show you watched.  Two months ago,  I was wondering how to get over CLOY and now I've almost forgotten it!

The death of Delilah really got to me like really bad I mean really really bad. I was among these who were rioting because of her demise
