Dramaworld watch online HD

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.

Though 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.

I have been a K-Drama junkie since 2009 since the volume controls on my now old-fashioned, non-flat-screen television set malfunctioned and the only shows I could watch were the ones with English subtitles. Beginning with an historical drama called "Dae Jo-Young" which I had believed to be either Chinese or Japanese. As a 50-year old white woman who's Irish/Scottish on the paternal side of my family and Sicilian on the maternal side of it I didn't realize that what I was watching was an historical drama set centuries ago in Korea. However, "Dae Jo- Young" wasn't the K-Drama that put me over the edge into becoming fully addicted to the genre. It was a series called "Boys Over Flowers" and ever since I have been watching K-Dramas; both the ones that take place in the past and in the present ever since.

There are actually only a very few Hollywood television series that I find to be as well done as many of the K-Dramas that I have seen.

Now enough of that.

"Dramaworld" is a an extremely charming series that has managed, in my opinion, to combine the best of a Hollywood and a Korean T.V. show. I found the episodes to be much too short at an average of 10 minutes each and binge-watched the entire first season of the series on Netflix.

I especially liked how Claire was able to interact with the characters on the K-Drama that she had been thrust into without the makers of "Dramaworld" using the fish-out-of-water cliché.

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!

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.

I also am an avid fan of Asian tv and movies. Honestly, I felt the show was just perfect, delightful and made me feel very connected with the premiss in familiar obvious tropes in all the Korean tv I have watched. The concept here is just brilliant in mixing the two cultures. I believe we have enough of a sense of humor in both countries to play with the underlying 'mockery' of the tropes for films in Korean shows and it honestly made me feel very warm in the connection.

I didn't understand some comments of the acting. I actually felt everyone did an amazing job at keeping it real but also light and humorous with a bit to play with on the exaggeration of some obvious tropes. Really loved the choice actress for Claire. I was a bit mixed at first on the leading man as he did seem a bit more wooden and struggling with the typical Korean leading man part but also think it could be a bit more difficult to find the perfect blend of humor and slight exaggeration to serious lead man acting and guess that may have been the challenge for him here. He did warm up later though and was a bit more connected. I do think there was a chemistry with leading characters coming mostly from the last few episodes.

I can't wait to see the next season please. Truly a delight and something I could watch again easily. Loved, loved the beginning on episode 8 :-).

I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this show. The concept of time travel is familiar to me, however the vehicle they chose to get there in order to alter a character's obsession with her television show is inspiring. Have to watch to understand previous line. Take a chance and go w/it and before you know it, you'll be hooked.

I was looking forward for this one, and had it on queue waiting for the perfect moment to binge-watch it, and finally got that perfect moment. It was rather disappointing, the lead guys have no chemistry whatsoever,also the lead guy ironically seems to struggle acting Korean, Justin Chon is the only one that seemed to make an effort at acting and have fun. The concept is interesting and it had so much potential, but it falls flat on the execution, they had so many opportunities to make it fun, and they were wasted, I love kdramas, and there was so much they could have used on this story. At the end, the bad acting,and the bad writing make small episodes feel long and boring.

Unfortunately 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.

I agree , this show is addicting!

Found it on Netflix and got caught reading the storyline. Thought I watch a couple of episodes just to see how it would go. Turns out, I ended up watching the whole season at a time! I was looking for something different, and guys, this show deserves a gold star.

25 May 2016. This international television series collaboration between China, South Korea, and the USA is an unique formula for peace in the world and drama/comedy entertainment of a new kind. This fantasy light drama has all the trappings of an American Soap Opera and the sparkling cultural fusion of Asian-American trappings that make this mini-television series a brilliant extended piece of fun, consternation, and fairy-tale that is delightful. Shot in short 15 minute episode segments, the total two and a half hour story arch brings story characters to life as Liv Hewson finds herself literally in another world.

Delirious (1991), Soap Dish (1991), Last Action Hero (1993), and Nurse Betty, offer some resemblance to a fictional world, but Dramaworld creates an almost magical alternative universe that might be more attuned to a more fantastical Cinderella version of the sci fi television series Fringe (2008-2013). This enjoyable fantasy series has all the promise of a huge hit internationally.

(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.

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