Oh I love SHG albeit short! I like HB too! They are both cool and really nice to watch.

SHG is a pro. She can bring out the character effortlessly. Like her since “All In”

It’s a pity that LBH didn’t cherish her as much as she deserve. Media pressure then? I wish both of them would consider the possibility of a reconciliation?

well, i totally agree with you on the “passion”-thingy.
let’s take, “Goodbye Solo”, for example.
I deeply sympathize with the characters most of the time, esp when their feelings , sorrow & happiness, are pushed to the limit.
“Worlds within” has good storyline (non-typical, enough to follow), good actors (yeah, Huynbin has had more diverse emotion expression on screen), as you said, but I did not truly “feel” it.
yeah, what a pity.

I love this drama, and I don’t think it’s boring at all. This is one of the first realistic Korean dramas I’ve seen. Personally, I think that most Korean dramas are just too formulaic, too full of cliches. If I want to see something different, I’d have to go see Japanese dramas, they have more variety in their plot. But this drama is engaging, the main leads and the side characters are interesting and real. I like the calmness and the lack of gratuitous,contrived drama. After a while all those mind boggling plot twists become so muddled and too unbelievable.

This drama doesn’t attract me at all. I tried to watch 2 episodes in the beginning, got a little bit passion. When the third episode came along, I became lazy again. NO matter how famous the main characters are does not affect me at all. Maybe, it was right, it lacks of passion. Not the chemistry between the two characters, but the passion of the drama itself. THis drama maybe comes too calm and subtle in every single way and episode.

There is no tension between characters too. I like to watch drama which I can predict easily, but it turns out to have a shift. This one is unpredictable and becomes more lack of emotions.

I anticipated this drama so much that I have made myself slog through 6 episodes, but I don’t know if I can do it anymore. First of all, it is too overly self conscious in its portrayal of the characters. There is nothing “real” about them–the actors are vehicles for artistic things about relationships to be said. There are no emotions really shown because that damn voice over does the work for them. The conversations are plot-moving devices rather than conversations evolving characters.

I am so annoyed with how something with so much potential could fall this flat.

Also, professional looking doesn’t mean ugly-looking. Who on earth came up with PLAID and FLANNEL as the central wardrobe for the characters? SHK wears huge flannel shirts with black leggings AND a ridiculous bowl cut of a hair style. Wow–who the hell wears crap like that? I can think of only Linsey Lohan, and at least she keeps her hair pretty.

The whole production is woefully pathetic. There is all that fuss about Singapore as a location and then nothing is done about it.

I feel sorry for Hyun Bin. He made a terrible choice in making Snow Queen, and it was deservedly a flop. He made a good choice in choosing this storyline of Worlds Within, but the production and execution of the story is so terrible, I wonder if he will be able to maintain his reputation as a great actor. Really, SHK and HB are GOOD actors–and yet, they come across as so pitifully mediocre, and that is because they have so little to work with!
