O Mundo do Drama (2016)

Sonho de todo amante de dramas coreanos, sem dúvidas!

Ou vai dizer que você nunca pensou em quão incrível seria estar no meio de um triângulo amoroso com o casal protagonista do seu drama preferido? Quer dizer, eu nunca, mas vou começar a imaginar isso a partir de hoje!

Claire, a "não protagonista", representa muito bem aqueles que amam dramas. Ela é apaixonada por esse ator e conhece todos os trabalhos dele, briga com o drama quando as coisas não dão certo e, quando ela entra no tal "Dramaworld", faz de tudo pra ajudar o casal principal a ficar junto. Pena que isso não funciona.

Ela é muito exagerada, meio desesperada como a gente que assiste, quer que sua lógica seja ouvida e isso confunde um pouco os personagens do drama. Tanto que, no fim, as coisas terminam de cabeça pra baixo, mas acho que essa era a ideia desde o início, certo? Fica muito na cara que ela vai deixar tudo de pernas pro ar, típica heroína estabanada.

Num geral, é uma história divertida de assistir, bem curta - os episódios tem média de 15 minutos -, bastante clichê por conta do conceito, mas você consegue se identificar. É quase como uma sátira aos dramas no geral, eu gosto de pensar que a pessoa que teve essa ideia conhece muito bem o coração do adolescente apaixonado por dramas, porque essa ideia deu muito certo!

Even though my rating for this web-drama is fairly low, I still think you should watch it (for a singular reason I'll get to in a second), but first I want to touch on the things I didn't like:

1. The characters were very wooden and one-dimensional. The acting wasn't very good--I honestly was cringing a lot of the time. I'm a person that loves to be swept away in a drama and feel EVERYTHING that our characters are feeling, but it was impossible with this drama. Perhaps because it is borderline parody and they're trying to wink to the audience quite a bit (the sole component I liked). But these characters never really came together to the point where you believed the emotions they were feeling, which was kinda disappointing.

2. Our main male lead was....awkward. I mean obviously he's supposed to be this super-character. He's the LEADING MAN and they try to portray him in that way. But his shifts between Korean/English were off-putting and just how he interacted with Claire....he was where most of the cringing took place. His lines were just not delivered very well.

3. The writing. Some of the lines they had these characters say....just shouldn't have been said. I liked their plot-twists, but I didn't like how the scenes all came together. Sometimes things got just a bit too ridiculous and over-the-top.

Now, here comes the part of my review where I say you should watch it anyway:

1. THE META. Oh my goodness, they covered SOOO many tropes within dramas and managed to play off of them and it gave some REALLY good laughs. The touched on giving drunk girls piggy back rides, karaoke, product placements, dangerous briefcases, brand names being blurred, etc. And they were SUPER-DUPER smart about all of that.

2. The episodes are only 12-ish minutes. And there's only 10 episodes, so just give it a whirl to see what you think. Like I said, while I think it really deserves the rating I gave it as a whole, those meta moments were just spectacular. Spectacular and funny enough that I'd say it's worth the watch. <3

Watch this in one sitting when you have the time, it'll be more enjoyable that way. Also, just don't take it too seriously and try not to think too hard about how horribly the lines are being delivered. xD
