    Biggest pile of pants I've ever watched. Bad acting, irritating main character, horrible story.

    Yes, 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.

    Some people say this show isn't well-made or acted. For a spoof on K-drama, I'd say it was amazingly done! Great video quality, great sound, wonderful expressions! Claire, who I am assuming is an American, is very over the top of from how a normal/modern US citizen would be. But if she is going to act along with the level of K-drama, she needed to act as she did. The reactions were priceless in this show and they tickled me so much. I didn't realize there were so many themes in K-drama until I watched this show. If you understand how a normal drama works, then this will be hilarious. If you don't, then it will be a mildly amusing concept that is entertaining. I am very happy with this show and am crossing my fingers for another!

    Claire, a huge fan of Korean dramas (I had no idea that was a thing, but apparently it is), is magically transported into her favorite Korean soap opera, where she is told that she has a new job; fixing the conventional dramatic path that has somehow gone off target. She is supposed to work from behind the scenes, creating situations for the leads to fall in love as they're supposed to, but things don't go quite the way they're supposed to.Dramaworld is quite funny, although as the show digs deeper into its silly story the humor sometimes gets toned down in favor of plot or drama. But the story is intriguing, the drama has a light touch, and the comedy manages to both mock Korean conventions while making me eager to watch one of these shows for myself.Liv Hewson, who plays Claire, is perfectly cast as the red-headed American nerd inexplicably accepted by the Korean principles. She manages to be both dorky and plain enough to seem like someone who would obsessively watch a TV show while being cute and quirky enough to be believable as someone who simply cannot avoid becoming a part of the story she is supposed to influence from the edges. The series reminds me a lot of Lost in Austen, in which a Jane Austen fan is transported into one of her novels. If you like one of these, I highly recommend watching the other.I highly recommend binge watching this; episodes are short and end on cliffhangers, so it's frustrating to just watch one. I wound up waiting a month so I could watch the last 4 episodes together. Beautifully done from beginning to end. I just love this show so much.
