The Golden Spoon

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!

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.

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!

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.

I did not expect to enjoy this series. To begin with, I seldom enjoy fantasy shows. So I kept giving this a pass until I had nothing else to watch while waiting for the next episodes of Taxi Driver 2 and Divorce Attorney Shin.

I got hooked from the first episode and hardly ever paused. The pace was consistent. The series also touched on a a number of themes and points worth pondering about.

All characters were well portrayed and there wasn't any one actor I would criticize for a bad performance. All gelled well, even those with cameo roles.

And the ending was very satisfying.

Worth your 16 hours, guaranteed.
