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 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.

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.
