What I didn't like about Search : WWW was:

The pace. It was kind of slow at times and they mixted the scenes a bit here and there.

The romance. It was slow at the begining. And they almost seemed like they didn't have chemistry, but that was solved quickly.

The business part. It was nice to see strong female leads, but the office story was confusing and didn't really appeal to me in the end.

Now, for what I liked:

The performances were really good from all the actresses and actors, but especially from the three ladies, who were incredible.

The second leading lady's romance. It was cute and adorable!!

The attitude of the drama.

I rarely give any show 10 stars, but this one earned it. If you are looking for a light, sugary love story filled with romantic thrills and fluff, this one probably won't do it for you. HOWEVER, if you like edgy corporate/business stories, featuring mature, empowered, female leads, then don't hesitate! I have never seen such a modern, intelligent K-Drama with more badass yet relatable women! (OMG, Scarlett, the drama-junkie slayed me! 😂)

While this film does feature romance and relationship struggles, the story is about so much more than that. It looks at what it means to live as a conscientious adult (both publicly and privately), examining questions of morality, freedom, justice, and the responsibilities that come with love. At the same time, it is also a celebration of modern womanhood, and all 3 of the FL's are absolutely mesmerizing in their roles. (Can I just say, HOLY COW, THE CAR DEMOLITION SCENE!!! Avenging Queens with baseball bats? Yes please!)

In addition to the layered plot and sophisticated storytelling, the entire cast was just amazing. So talented! The soundtrack was also excellent and the filmography was gorgeous. There may have been a little more experimentation with soft focus and angles than I thought necessary, but not to the point of being distracting. Also, the subtitles on Viki are a bit lacking (but may be better elsewhere).

In short, I have no idea why this K-Drama isn't more highly rated, but it's as fresh as they come, with 3 dimensional characters who will draw you in and make you cheer. If you go for "real life" stories that are as human and exciting as they are thought provoking (especially if you are a woman), you should give this one a go. HIGHLY Recommended!!!

ROMANCE RATING: * * * 9.5/10. Although the storyline for this film has too much going on for me to consider it a "true" romance drama, the scenes featuring romantic contact are plentiful as well as invested, passionate and very adult. As may be expected of a K-Drama, while there are several bedroom scenes and references to sex, nothing ever gets too explicit. I would normally give this sort of approach 8.5 stars at most, but I added a star for sheer believability. There were 5+ kiss scenes, all of which were deep and prolonged with no shortage of sexual tension all around. JKY and LSJ both did an incredible job portraying their characters' complex emotions and their chemistry together was absolutely flawless.

I think Lee Da Hae's partner could have been better. Maybe she should have been the partner of Jang Ki yong. Although the main female lead has a good chemistry with JKY, I find her acting insufficient for the role. Her voice is always whispering, with her eyes always widening up and her mouth barely opening and looks like pouting, I cant even understand what she's saying. The story was interesting and relevant social and political issue but it lacks more content and was just repetitive.

The best thin about this drama is that it has ZERO clichés, no stupid coincidences or forced and predictable moments.

I absolutely adore the fact that all main characters are women and they don't just support their male counterparts, they decide, and fight and live their lives without needing the guy to come and save the day ( like every other drama...) The male characters are also interesting and none compromised their values or personalities for the sake of an easy way out in the development of the script.

The story is very interesting and all the relationships are just so real, beautiful, meaningful, emotional, empowering... I love how friendship and loyalty are the main focus of the show. The main leads relationship keeps always hooked and their scenes are filled with desire and attraction.

This drama is setting example of how you can have female leads and make the audience fall in love with the story and enjoy it!

I cant believe it took me so long to watch this one and it has become one of my absolute favorites.

I don't care for corporate dramas, but I watched because I like all the leads. The writing is uneven, and sometimes plotted slowly. There are some nice scenes-especially strong women characters and three interesting love stories. However: being a strong woman does not mean you repeatedly hurt the man who loves you. Either love him, or leave him alone, because no one deserves to be continually hurt. I think the writer blew this truth.
