The Golden Spoon

I absolutely loved this series!

The morals of the show are so straightforward but also complex when you really think about it.

Love the idea of Golden Spoon, the plot depicts real social problem. There are many interesting plot twist too. All the casts do wonderful job, especially Sung Jae Yook. I like here most is the fact that they proceed with the deep character development of the protagonist. He somewhat has grey shade.

This show has an excellent ending. Generally dramas get a little boring in the middle..but this drama was captivating through out.

I was intrigued by the story and liked the series until the end.

I would highly recommend it.

Brilliant story line, excellent script, first class cast and acting, fine cinematography, directing, editing. What's not to like!

Korean series are no strangers to convoluted plots, this one leads the pack, but the 'convolutions' are logical and at times stunning. The pace is consistent, right to the end. No GOT let downs here.

Politics social classes / barriers, business ethics or lack off, dubious pasts and questionable futures rule the script, all interpreted through inter personal and intra family relationships, with interchangeable parents as the kicker. There I also the mandatory element of occassional violence and frequent corruption.

Greed, social position and pride are the motors, with a nice balance of complex love issues.

Highly recommended!

I found the poster of the drama purely by accident on twitter( thank u to whoever posted it haha) Got HOOKED within just a few MINUTES of watching! This has become one of my most FAVORITE Korean drama of ALL TIME and I've watched PLENTY lol. It's THAT GOOD for me. It's HEAVY drama for sure but it's so WORTH your time. The genre is fantasy but it certainly tackles important REAL LIFE societal issues and all we're so WELL-DONE & ACTED. Great cinematography, well-constructed & unpredictable story lines and actors were amazing especially the main lead Yook Sungjae and Choi Wonyoung!!! I would highly recommend!

A student played by Yook Sung-Jae comes from a poor family and seems to resent them for his circumstances. One day he meets an old woman at a stall who offers to sell him a golden spoon that if he uses to eat at another persons house he will become their son. He uses the spoon at the house of his friend played by Lee Jong-Won who comes from a conglomerate family. Once he becomes rich will he chose money over the love of his real family ? It also stars Jung Chae-Yeon who both men have feelings for but once they change places will this change the way she feels. It is a well acted series based on a webtoon and overall is entertaining although certain episodes do drag a little.

In the first 3 episodes you'll know whether to continue the series or not but this new k-drama just need a total of 30 mins to hooked their audience up. Instantly fell in love with all the characters, all of them delivered their role well also they're new faces so it's interesting to watch knowing that this will give a totally new air of k-drama industry.

At first I thought an hour long episode is such a waste of time but I didn't regret from starting this k-drama, now I'm left craving for more. Don't know what's ahead since it's still showing but hopefully this series won't let the viewers down. Highly recommend viewers to try this too you'll find it interesting in the first few minutes!
