It could have been so great

Firstly, I started watching because of 3 reasons : Lee Jaewook, mamamoo's OST and Netflix's cute thumbnail for the drama.

The drama as a whole was actually very good, but don't expect a great romance between the main couple you'll be highly disappointed. They're both quite boring and kind of toxic for each other. Them being together doesn't even make sense tbh. Meanwhile Scarlett and Jihwan are just as cute and simple and sincere as a couple inlove can be. Nobody talks about Ga-Gyeong's husband but i think they're cute too, in their own way.
The plot inviting you to the world of navigation and its stakes, which seems boring at first, is actually so interesting and you can grow very attached to the characters being part of this system. Although it's clear that the writers wanted to depict powerful "women of the 21st century", it didn't seem forced to me and felt quite natural to see women as the main asset of a company.
The last 2 episodes were really thrilling and couldn't have been better (except for 1 thing but no spoil) !!

P.s : shoutout to Lee Dahee (Scarlett), Lee Jaewook (Jihwan), Kwon Haehyo (Brian), Ye Soojung (chairwoman Jang) and Jo Hyejoo (the influencer) 's perfomance. They really brought their character to life.

P.s 2 : if you want to see the best of Lee Jaewook, just watch episode 10. I almost died of heart attack...

Mediocre Mess

I have tried to watch this drama several times since it aired, but always found myself dropping it around episode 2 or 3.

I managed to stick with it this time around and finished all episodes, skipping portions toward the end.

The story was okay, but we were left with several loose ends, almost like they wanted to cram as many scenarios into this show as possible and then only resolved a handful.

The actresses and actors were okay .. I was not impressed by most as they either over exaggerated their roles or under exaggerated them.

I did not care for the FL or ML, especially their 'romance'.

She was a toxic hot mess with the EQ of -10 and he was overly eager for no good reason.

I kept hoping they would break up and stay broken up.

I did not root for them, I was not invested at all in their romance, and would often skip scenes toward the end when they were on screen together.

They had no chemistry and she often looked constipated.

Song and her husband / ex husband were a couple I started to like in the last few episodes.

I did not like them much; they were both broken, used up punching bags of the old lady, but you could tell that is what brought them closer.

My favorite characters(and couple) were Scarlett and her 'actor'.

The way they met had me kicking my heels like a fan girl "Eeeeek!"

Their chemistry seemed natural and they were both great in their roles.

The whole "Girl Power", feminism, or whatever edge this show was going for was over done.

Almost to the point of being ludicrous.

I have many unanswered questions pertaining to the loopholes, but those clearly will reman unanswered.

This is not one I would re-watch unless I fast forwarded through all scenes and only focused on Scarlett and her 'actor'.

It's not a show for teenagers. Nor for people above sixty. It's a show for those well accomplished in their jobs, trying to relax on Wednesday afternoon, still with their office attire on and a glass of wine in the their hands... Or maybe for the ones that find the story really entertaining, refreshing and provocative. Because it is!
We are being played with and it's actually very enjoyable. The subjects covered are very broad, relatable and current both as far as business and people go. On the top of that the cinematography and script are really well executed and I'm hoping they continue to be till the end. I strongly recommend this drama to those that like being invested emotionally in the story, because that's how you end up already after episode 1. A really good show!

"El sistema dice que no nos puede proteger. Así que, deberíamos al menos protegernos a nosotras mismas."

Si bien, tiene sus errores logro complacer mis expectativas. Nuestras tres protagonistas fueron muy bien trabajadas, sus personajes son excelentes, las historia de cada una de ellas tan diferente pero a la vez tan iguales. Las relaciones entre adultos, maduras, con clase. Las charlas entre pareja, muy bien escritas.

Mientras veía esta serie vi los comentarios quejándose por la relación entre la Morgan y Tammy, y yo no puedo estar más satisfecha por esta. Es realmente una relación que se adapta a los tiempos que se están viviendo, el hecho que cada uno tenga un punto de vista del matrimonio y que cada uno tenga sus argumentos (en este caso Tammy tenía más y con los cuales mas me sentí a gusto) y el poder discutirlo como dos personas normales.

El final, el final... me paro y aplaudo.

Une déception

C'est un drama que j'attendais avec impatience de voir et j'ai été très déçue. Le concept de départ était intéressant. L'univers était original et la romance au premier épisode me faisait déjà sourire. Mais je n'ai pas du tout réussis après 6 épisodes à accrocher aux personnages, à leur histoire. Seule Cha Hyun a réussi à me toucher. Je n'attendais que les moments où elle apparaissait. Mais l'ennui de la presque totalité d'un épisode m'a bien vite fait renoncer à poursuivre ce drama. Je ne suis pas contre les femmes fortes et indépendantes, bien au contraire, mais lorsque le drama ne tourne qu'autour d'elles, de leur peine, de leur souffrance, de leur passé et que les hommes deviennent des faire-valoir, je trouve cela déséquilibré et pour ma part, l'ennui s'est bien vite installé. Bien entendu cela n'engage que mes goûts personnels, mais pas une seule fois mon coeur ne s'est affolé, pas un seul éclat de rire impromptu (mis à part les quelques scènes avec Cha Hyun) n'est venu égayer mon salon.

I watched the first few episodes. I thought that the drama might be a keeper for me due to the relatively strong women characters and despite my ambivalence about the Chang Ki Yong character, who seemed always to be filmed in a misty light. But then Episode 4 came along and he did that thing with her pantyhose and that made me cringe. Was it meant to be cute and sexy? Were we all supposed to say, “Awwww, he’s sweet,” not “Ewwww, he’s weird?” It was the latter for me and now I can’t continue with this show because under Korean drama law, she’s going to end up with him.

Absolute no chemistry and boring love life

This drama might get turned well if they omitted the main leads love part, especially the ML is sooo annoying. I am dropping this drama because of the ML, I have seen his few dramas most of them his character is same only the FL’s are different, he will become fully obsessed to FL after the first meet and he keeps on begging FL to love him even after got rejected so many times brutally. In most of the drama his character is same only like shameless, obsessed without any bottom line (won’t feel bad for brutal rejections, I was thinking FL to spit to his face to know at least at that time he may feel little bad or not) he can go down to any level to get the FL. The same type of characters I have seen in most of the Chinese dramas and I hate the most.

Search: WWW is definitely one of the dramas that drew me to watch as I came across a few spoilers of scenes from a few episodes. Starting off with the production or cinematography of it, it is definitely unique and focuses on visually portraying the emotions of the characters and the vibes coming from the scene. This drama is a big user of those long shots of the characters from different angles and the use of light, but it all adds to the unique visual of how this drama was shot and put together. Visually, it is very aesthetic and pleasing to the eyes.
Personally, I am big fan of the plot as well. The fact that the main focus of the drama is not necessarily a romantic relationship between Park Morgan and Bae TaeMi (although, I love the scenes of them together), but actually the three women : Bae TaeMi, Scarlett, and Song Gayeong, is very refreshing and far more interesting in my opinion. The fact that it stars three strong, powerful women as the leads sends a strong message as well as adds a different dynamic to the drama. If there is one character I would like to see more developed, it would be Gayeong (Unicon). We have a glimpse of what kind of pressure she's under, but I think the question would be whether she is defined by those pressures and the people giving them to her or if she will be able to rise above and come out on top.
I mentioned before that the romantic relationship with Tae Mi is not the main focus of the plot from what I can gather after watching the first three episodes. Nevertheless, their plot is no less interesting and unique from the start. It does make you wonder more about the background of Park Morgan, but that might be revealed later on. Anyways, I've been a big fan of the actor Jang Kiyoung for awhile, so I kept my eye on this drama to see where it might lead. I am not disappointed with this drama yet and I'm looking forward to see where it is headed.

Power to the woman + serious heartache

The idea behind this drama felt quite unique to me. I liked the imagery and the way it was filmed as to make the viewer feel as if they were present in the moment on screen. I liked to see the women in their job at work. All had their own unique love story, and I have to say I fell in love with Song Ga Gyon's character and style. Her love story was definitely the most mysterious one and one which left you longing for more. All actors gorgeous looking and beautifully dressed- kudos to the fashion style team.

I also think it is important to say that this is not a light-heart drama. If you have ever been in a long relationship, being loved and heartbroken, then this drama will hit you hard. It is quite heavy in this sense, with each episode the story evolves and you can truly empathize with the heartache feelings that the actors portray so well. I have found myself numerous time in their shoes, tears hit me hard, almost with each episode. Fortunately the drama ends on a positive and light note - one in which all female triumph both in their careers and in their personal lives.
