Search www is an innovative slice of life about the fight between two web company and the people who work for them. It's probably one of the few show that gives a lot of screentime to each character and their respective personal work/friendiship/love life. It is also one of the few dramas where the power is in the hands of capable and brilliant women. I appreciated how the drama opposed the working life of these three women with their respective private life.
The drama shows us how women, who are often considered fragile and emotional, manage to reconcile work and private life. The main story is the classic power fight between companies, while these woman struggle between choose ethics and corruption in their workplace, their story is intertwined with friendships and shared loves. In fact there is a strong triangle of friendship / non-friendship that links these three women, as well as, each of the three is involved in a love story.
Each member of the cast did a great job into portraying characters that are probably the best roles ever written for a drama, but unfortunately the story itself fail to impress me. The fight between this two web societies is repetitive and boring, as well as the romance between the main couple, Tammy and Morgan, which is filled with the same dynamic about Tammy pondering if stay in the relationship or not, at first I was excited but soon I got sick of this couple. The secondary couple are instead very interesting, both Scarlett and Song Ga Kyung, apparently very strong, are actually fragile when it comes to falling in love and opening one's heart.
In addition to a plot that is very plain simple and predictable the show uses a lot of visual and musical effects to create emotional moments that fill the void left by a script too simple to fill 16 episodes. The show open with a corruption case and close with a corruption case, everything evolved around the same initial problem and 16 episodes of fight before finally deciding to do the right thing were way too many to entertain me.
Almost at every episode I was bored to death by this plot, I often fell asleep and then recovered in the most exciting moments, which were all related to the personal story of these three women. Overall it's a show that deserve to be watch only for the characters development. But if you can't stand office plot and are a fans of romance, be prepered to suffer a bit.
