LifetimeŌĆÖs Friday-Saturday drama Dramaworld drew global attention from the first week of the broadcast. The clich├®s that any K-drama fan will sympathize with and a colorful cameo lineup are already the hot topics. In the first three episodes, the K-drama clich├®s catch the eyes. For instance, a big fan of K-drama, Claire says, ŌĆ£Every drama ends with a kiss of true love between male and female characters. In American dramas, everyone kisses freely. However, in Korean dramas, the hero and heroineŌĆÖs kiss is the evidence of true love.ŌĆØ Interestingly, this difference is the reason why foreign fans love K-drama. In other words, a book containing all the formulas and laws in the K-drama appears in the first episode. It each gave pleasure to Korean viewers and freshness to foreign viewers.

Some of the examples are the following: ŌĆ£The male lead should be a gentleman who puts the female lead first before his confidence, appearance, and arrogance.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£The male leadŌĆÖs shower scene is essential, and the more obstacles the characters see, the more true love is guaranteed.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Save his/her life and win love.ŌĆØ Moreover, the series introduces Korean culture, such as a funeral scene and drinking soju at a pork belly restaurant, adding to the dramaŌĆÖs fun. Similarly, unexpected scenes, such as ŌĆ£product placementŌĆØ and ŌĆ£kimchi slapping,ŌĆØ appear in the right place, increasing the immersion. At the same time, super-luxury cameos grabbed the attention. Han Ji Min, Lee Ji Ah, Choi Siwon, and Sam Hammington showed their faces at the right moment and place. Other familiar faces like Woo Do Hwan, Yang Dong Geun, Kim Byung Chul, and Park Jin Joo appeared throughout the episodes. New cameos will enliven the upcoming plot, so the fun of finding familiar faces will continue.
