This COULD have been a banger….
This series could have gotten 10 points from me if Park Morgan's character had been written out.
Search WWW is about two major Internet portals Unicorn and Barro, like Google or Firefox (only more interactive), competing for first place.
In the center are three women, one employee of Barro, one employee of Unicorn and one employee who was fired from Unicorn for an unfair reason and is now hired in a Barro task force. Their mission: to increase the market value of Barro and the amount of users.
All 3 women know each other from school and have a history with each other. Song Gakyung (Unicorn) lives in an arranged marriage, her difficult mother in law has great influence and uses her for her own purposes.
Chahyun (Barro) is a woman who had to give up fighting sports and transforms her energy into sports and series. She has a crush on an actor, whom she even meets later.
Lastly, Bae Tami. She switches to Barro, is super smart and tough and full of ideas.
Chahyun and Tami form a great team at Barro. The people are nice and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a start-up. Most of the scenes are super funny and I really enjoyed watching the team.
So far so good. Unfortunately, these scenes are severely limited due to another character. I thought it was super exciting to watch Gakyung's sheer difficulty and power struggle and Chahyun's actress makes you just want to watch her. The stroy-lines in this field were very notable.
Right in the first episode, however, Tami meets Park Morgan, who is 10 years younger (very important info) and develops music for games.
The relationship starts off with a one night stand, so I thought it would take a new tone as well. Unfortunately, false report.
Park Morgan isn't the problem per se, but how Tami's character acts when she's with him. It's super annoying. The music, the lighting, the filters, everything is set up for romance. Don't get me wrong. I love rom-coms. But this relationship is just boring and frustrating. That's why I recommend just fast forwarding scenes of these two. They can take up to 50% of the episode, though.
SPOILERS AHEAD (resp. More Details)
The first problem that is brought up again and again is the age difference, after that is cleared up, the next 10 episodes are still about that, but also about the fact that Tami doesn't want to get married, but Morgan does. Their solution for everything at first: it doesn't matter, we will live in the here and now and not in the future. But then one episode later it becomes the center of attention again and yawn... The dialogues are endless, the words empty and the thematic tiring. The kickass Tami becomes an expressionless and washed out creature. They managed to make me absolutely bored and as soon as they both show up together I try to occupy myself elsewhere.
The cast was good, I was not a fan of Tamis actress though, she always had the same expressions. I don’t really see why she was chosen.
The styling was often pretty weird, but that’s still okay.
I loved the OST, very catchy and diverse in sound.
