The Golden Spoon

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.

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!

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!

All the details are amazing and the trailer is very engaging! The script is so well written, the characters are also great! Overall, this movie is very good, highly recommended. I wait to see this movie at the end of every week and until now it is still very good and attractive. Plot twist is super brain twist and innovation every episode makes it very special, when watching the very short series, it proves that the screenwriter has done a good job with the extra details. The actors are not too famous but they have performed their roles very well and are very suitable for the role, the movie poster is super beautiful and has a good vibe.
