Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
View MoreI was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
View MoreGreat movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View More(Not sure if this is really a spoiler, but just in case... SPOILERS!) Okay - it's only episode 3, and I'm reeeeally trying to like this... but the main female character is apparently incapable of not behaving in a stupid and annoying way, and I'm struggling to get past that. Not sure if that's what k-dramas are like normally as I'm not a regular watcher of those shows, but this is just painful. If that gormless female wasn't in it, or if she was about 50% less irritating, it would actually be quite enjoyable since the premise itself is kind of fun. (Note that I may change my rating when I've watched more... but sadly, I'm not optimistic right now).Footnote: finished watching season 1 and it did get better as the episodes went on, with a bit of a fun ending. So, yeah - not totally hideous, in the end.
View MoreYes, it's short and yes, it could've done more. But I have to say, the way in which this show mocks the fanbases was really hilarious and I'm glad that unlike many other attempted mockeries of internet culture, this one was very very accurate. Great acting, great humour, great setting - generally just a really nice short series.
View MoreThough it is a very short series it is a fast paced drama, not giving you your usual allotted time to connect and fall in love with the leading guy and become emotionally invested in the leading lady as most Asian dramas would, it tied up really nicely. As a K-Drama addict I felt it did what all A-Dramas aim to do and that is draw you in with the concept and have you wishing it wasn't ending by the end. I really hope this gets a Season 2. I look forward to seeing more of Claire and Park Joon, I mean she is living the fantasy of every fan-girl right now.I do believe they did a good job with Claire's character, I really felt like most of the time she reacted to situations like most K-Drama addicts would. I would definitely recommend it as a light filler Drama for those who are binge watching one of those 24 episode dramas that are 45 minutes an episode.
View MoreUnfortunately the cameos and Justin Choi are the only things worth watching in this short series. The concept sparkles but there is no character development. We're not given any reasons to connect with the main characters or to care about what happens to them. The lead Claire is paper-thin. She has zero depth. The leading male Joon was wooden. Both leads struggled with their acting. Their portrayals either felt forced, flat, or awkward throughout the series. And their love-line never took off. Dramaworld also tries to spoof the genre but none of the things fans love about K- dramas are present beyond shallow acknowledgment that the tropes do, in fact, exist. The tropes are used more like, "Look a cake. Cakes are funny. Everyone loves cakes because they have eggs, and flour, and sugar, and milk " That's about as much insight as Dramaworld gives into K-drama and its fandom. It lays out all the tropes and then points at them while saying, "Tee hee! Isn't this funny. It has umbrella scenes, and shower scenes, and super sweet heroines, and jerky heroes, and piggyback rides, and mean moms " And we, the audience, are left to wonder "yeah, and ?" Dramaworld feels like a giant commercial instead of a series we're meant to connect with. I hope Viki changes the writing and directing team and tries again with better actors and a smarter script.
