High School in Seoul (2022)

Plot Twist

Tidak pernah membayangkan kalau akhir cerita yang mati bukanlah Lee Seungcheon karena dalam posisi itu dia orang terakhir yang masuk ke kamar, tapi lebih dikagetkan lagi ternyata ada yang makan pakai Sendok emas itu. SELAMAT BANGET!

Sepanjang nonton ini tuh lebih mikir, buat mereka yang pakai sendok emas itu rantai hidupnya saling memangsa.
Kalau memang di dunia nyata ada, seram banget ngga sih. Karena setiap sesuatu yang kita perbuat itu pasti ada konsekuensinya, mau baik atau yang buruk.

Pembawaan setiap karakter disini tuh udah bagus-bagus banget, OST-nya juga bagus-bagus.

A Good Watch, Despite Some Flaws

Ok I finally finished the series and after finishing the series, I have some thoughts to share. The initial episodes, around 1-6, were definitely great. However, things became messy later on due to the excessive number of golden spoons. Despite this, I found the show entertaining and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. The ending was really satisfying and well-done.

Overall, I wouldn't say the show was bad - that would be too harsh. The acting by the entire cast was solid and the soundtrack was excellent. The only downside for me was some of the plotlines. Despite this, I would still recommend giving the show a watch. I'd give it a 7/10, which means it was a good watch in my opinion.

Insano

A história é original, com muito potencial, interessante e viciante. Porém tem uns furos, algumas coisas desnecessárias e tu passa muita raiva assistindo. Metade dos personagens não prestam e a outra metade é chata haha. Meus personagens favoritos foram o Munki e a Yujin. Demorei pra terminar de assistir, não porque era chato, mas porque era um tanto irritante. Finalizei o drama rindo horrores com o final que deram, até que gostei de como acabou algumas coisas. O melhor foi a reviravolta no finalzinho, isso foi empolgante:
Quando a Young Shin falou pro "Hwang Hyun Do" que o Juntae que ele o incitou a se matar é seu próprio filho. eu fiquei OMG :O
E o Seungchun que viveu por conta do outro cara que teve um minuto de tela, um minuto de burrice, o cara morreu no lugar dele eu ri muito KKKKKKK
Amei ver a atuação do Sungjae nesse drama!

I like dramas that offer up something original while including some clever twists and turns. Thus, I enjoyed The Golden Spoon a lot. The drama attempts to illustrate how helpless and powerless the poor can feel and the lengths some might go through to claw their way up to become rich and powerful. There was a lot of good acting in this drama but the biggest revelation to me was Lee Jongwon, who played Hwang Taeyoung. He managed not only to switch convincingly between his rich and poor iterations but also made me care about a character who started off as seemingly entitled, shallow and flawed. I think Lee Jongwon stole the show from Yook Sungjae, who is no acting slouch himself.

I recognize that the Hwang Hyeondo character was one-dimensional and that his apparent omnipotence was not believable. Plus, as another reviewer also noted, there seemed to be an excess of golden spoons floating around towards the end. But the drama was so much fun that I didn’t really care.

Good Enough

Korean Drama " The Golden Spoon " is a webtoon live action.

The series is a character drama, thus, it focuses more on its main leads, rather than the romance, which was okay, but, fortunately, didn't overshadow the main story. Rather, it compliment it and was there to add a few touches of emotional frustration.

On the other hand, the drama weighted the family bonds more, compared to any love story. The family drama was on point and was rightfully enough intense.

However, the drama after the first part, got confusing, as they kept adding golden spoons. Thus, it was hard to keep track on who was who, or whom they used to be.

The performances, in addition, were great by all the actors and actresses in the cast.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Not all that glitters is gold

I really loved this drama full of twists and turns.

Lee Seungcheon is a man of a thousand faces capable of transforming himself several times and fighting strenuously in business, in love and for his life, because even the life of a rich person like Hwang Taeyong's is somewhat problematic.

Even if only at the end with the death of his real father, Seungcheon really understood that what makes you truly free is not wealth but living peacefully, spending time by the sea with the person you love, hoping that one day she will be able to return his love.

A round of applause goes to all the amazing actors and actresses who catapulted us into the imaginary world of the golden spoon.

Character/ relationship development and plot twists

I really enjoyed this drama, the best thing about this drama for me was the relationship between Seungchun and Tae Yong which really doesn't developed until the second half of the drama. This drama was kind of slow because a lot of the plot twist, relationships (non-romantic) and essentially the more interesting storylines do not come in until around episode 10.

I did not like the romance in this drama. There was a huge time jump in this drama and I don't understand how the romantic relationships between all of the characters remained the same during and after this period. The only good relationship this time created was the parent/son relationship between Tae Yong and Seungchun's parent's and I would even say a nice relationship between Seungchun and Tae Yong's 'father'. I loved Munki's relationship with Tae Yong and Seungchun, despite them both being the same person to Munki, their relationship with Munki was VERY different. Tae Yong and Munki had a brotherly relationship. (I don't watch BLs and usually don't randomly ship guys but) I started shipping Seungchun and Munki, heck they were the only 'couple' I shipped.

I preferred Yu Jin over Joo Hee. Unlike every other charecter in this drama Joo Hee was the only one who stayed persistently the SAME, no character development, nothing, she is so self-righteous to the point that it was annoying. Yu Jin made mistakes, but she changed a lot throughout this drama from being selfish and cold, to someone who actually cared about Seungchun. Joo Hee was the only character I did not like and I wish we got to see a lot more of the brotherly bond between Seungchun and Tae Yong instead of the romantic storyline between Seungchun and Joo Hee. (SPOILERS) I would have been fine with her had she just stopped after discovering how Seungchun swappeed places with Tae Yong, but then she spent the rest of the drama begging him to switch back, to be himself etc, despite the fact that Tae Yong was happy being Seungchun and Seungchun had already been Tae Yong for over 10 years, at this point he had no right to switch back.
I wish it was Yu Jin and Seungchun at the end and Tae Yong and Joo Hee, both pairs would have been perfect for each other.

I will not go into detail about the plot twists, but I feel like it was quite predictable. You see, every single person who has used the golden spoon, for some reason in this drama, have the exact same view on poverty, on how "being poor is a crime".

I liked the ending of this drama, but I wish we got Tae Ying and Seungchun's bromance instead of Yun Ji and Seungchun.

Golden Spoon Golden Life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The show started out really great for the first few episodes until it starts to go downhill but kind of quickly picked themselves up along the way. I wasn't expecting the last ep to be this twisted but I'm glad it turned out that way. I really like the ending where they talked about hyundo and yeojin part.

At some point, the second male lead and main female lead were quite useless when they build up the story all about them. Its a shame but I felt like their characters could play a more important part. But Na In woo's appearance really.... strong and powerful and important to bring the story to a next level. Acting was phenomenal especially by the two dads. Although at the ending, I wish hyundo could act a little more sad.

Overall the OSTs are great and the story is great. I look forward to their future works and I think this drama really gave a whole new level of meaning in life to some people. I like how relatable the story is especially at such a moment in life.

The plot twists, the ending, ugh, the ending is bittersweet

This drama is amazing, the cast, the actors, it is very well made.
Being set in a different year in the past begs me to question what/when will the modern twist be put on?

After the modern era change, it seems to have lost a tiny bit of the sparkle this drama had, but that is to be expected, when things have changed.
The ending, oh, so heartbreaking. I wish for a season 2 but I doubt that will happen.
Amazing cast, the story is not too slow, and the acting is top notch!
The storyline is pretty good, hard to follow sometimes, since I forget who has used the spoon and so on, lol.
There have been many good dramas this year, and this is definitely top 5 so far in my mind.

The story has alot of twist and unexpected events. The leads acting are very good and on point. Shoutout to our maknae Sunjae. His acting improved and did really well in this drama. I hope he gets more drama where he is the main lead. The music was also catchy. I just wish 2nd male leads character had more development cause whether he is poor or back to his rich self he seemed to be a bit weak. The parents of both male leads are well portrayed and you would love to hate Tae Hyeong’s dad. I don’t know how the rest of the episodes will go but I have high hopes. Will complete the series then update my review.

Edited: The series ends as how it should be. The male lead learned it the hard way. The villains karma came and I love how the 2nd male leads growth and his heart which is stronger than the lead. Salute in him choosing what makes him happy and not regaining his luxurious life. Though tempted he made the hard choice and sticked to it. Not everyone can do that.
