Dramaworld
(2016)
Grade:
A
10 episodes, about 15 minutes each
Young college student Claire Duncan is
obsessed with kdramas, driving her father to distraction when she
won't put down her phone even while working in their sandwich shop.
He urges her to do something with her life besides watching fictional
romance, but one day the fiction finally becomes reality. Will Claire
be able to facilitate true love's kiss between her favorite leading
man Joon Park and the latest leading lady? What happens when her own
feelings start to cloud her judgment and threaten the existence of
Dramaworld?
*This
show is amazing! It pokes fun at all the typical Kdrama tropes while
making it just a little more real for the American girls who love
them by making an American girl a key player. It takes the entire
Kdrama experience to another level to hear a leading man speaking in
my native tongue! Sean Dulake is excellent in his role as the
“typical” leading man – handsome, arrogant, yet capable of true
love – and I'm surprised I haven't seen him before. The drama moves
very quickly (probably because each episode is only about 15 minutes
long), but they leave it wide open for another season, which I hope
they pursue! The plot of the kdrama itself feels very similar to
“Pasta” (2010), and I was surprised at how many familiar faces I
saw – cameos from more famous stars as well as just the secondary
characters that agreed to do what I would consider a minor project
for them. DEFINITELY watching this again!*
