Cha May 17 2023 9:59 am This drama is a FLOP. Worst drama ever that i’ve ever watched. Hyun Bin’s chemistry with Hajiwon is more more better than this boring drama.

Joe Apr 02 2023 7:21 am I you want to understand the great effort and skills required to make a good drama this is the right one to watch.

RED Jan 27 2022 4:42 pm This is such a good Kdrama got hooked from episode one. I am such a huge SHK fan. The chemistry of Hyun Bin and Song Hye-Kyo is so good.

Mike Sep 16 2021 11:55 am Sorry, through 8 episodes, boring, I couldn't take it. I'm addicted to korean dramas, started this year, but this is the first one that I couldn't finish. Production, cast, all good, but story/screenplay just boring.

Jewel May 12 2021 10:26 am Wow this drama is so underrated! Probably because the time it airs knets arent ready for a very realistic story! This is so good the storyline, the acting, the plot! Im glad i accidentally checked this drama.

BagMyHeartOut Mar 17 2021 5:29 pm Interesting K-drama... I like both Hyun Bin and Song Hye-Kyo but they're not meant to be. Hyun Bin's meant for Son Ye-Jin. Song Joong-Ki didn't turn out to be Song Hye-Kyo's Mr. Right but I'm sure she'll find her real Mr. Right soon.

Phantom Feb 09 2021 12:04 pm this is my now favorite KDrama. I agree this is not your typical Korean love story but I really love the chemistry of Hyun Bin and Song Hye-Kyo. (Spoiler Alert:) There is a scene from the last episode that I found really cute and felt like real. it was when Directors Joon Young and Jin-hu found out the ratings of their mini drama. Their happiness seemed sincere and it was really executed well, I had to watch that scene over and over again..Without the chemistry of the lead cast, the series would have not been bearable to watch.

Nancy Silva Jun 18 2020 9:44 pm I am a Filipino-Canadian, and I love Hyun Bin (Kim Tae-pyung), he is my favorite actor in all the Korean acting movie and drama industries. I watched all of his dramas and movies from 2003 until now, and I loved all of them! I really adore him, especially in Crash Landing On You; he's very handsome and charming, and he's quite a great actor. He's talented too, since not only does he act, but he can play the piano and sing magnificently. Since this pandemic, I haven't had enough sleep, so I always continue watching all his shows so many times. I hope to meet him here in Canada (just kidding). The chemistry between him and the actress are unique and good, and I fell in love with him (just kidding, again).

##fan## Jun 17 2020 1:09 am Great Drama.....outstanding acting ❤❤

Hahn Mar 28 2020 11:25 am Worlds Within occupied a special spot in my heart because of the very heartwarming love story of the leads played by Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo. They project raw and organic chemistry, something that I have not seen in any other couple, not even with the once famous SongSong couple. I heard it did not perform well in terms of rating, but good to know that it has international broadcasts and KBS had re-run this twice already. The story was great, but I guess the poor rating was due to the fact that Worlds Within went out of the "usual" plot of Korean dramas. It dared to just feature the ups and downs of an ordinary couple, falling in and out of love, and making it through with the help of their good friends. And perhaps, others could not relate to the life of those working in a tv production. To all those who have not seen this, give it a try! I hope and wish that Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo would be given another chance to work together again, and which might lead to their true-to-life reconciliation. :) :)

seysey Mar 20 2020 5:06 am this is one of the underrated dramas. This drama's story is realistic.. couples are comfortable with each other. and it tackles the side on what are happening off screen the camera. it's somewhat different story, unlike the common storyline rich lead fighting to get the company something like that.

Kdrama lover Feb 29 2020 7:51 am It was indeed a great drama!!!!...i love their chemistry more than with son ye jin...i really really feel the emotion of the main characters having and struggling an issue to yourself!...i cant help but carried away on their acting...i hope that they will end up together for real!???

Hien Luong Feb 27 2020 4:54 am Best performance of Hyun Bin with me. Their story is so real that I didn’t suprised about their love

Gemini Feb 19 2020 1:41 am I love this drama. It's so realistic. And both lead character had an awesome chemistry. How i wish to see them paired again in the future. They look good together. ...

Cecil Santiago Feb 04 2020 8:49 pm I hope this two will collaborate again. This drama is timeless, done 12 years ago but i dont get tired watching it bec its not pretentious. Both hyun bin and song hye kyo were in their 20’s but acted the part well... besides they become lovers after doing the drama... as they said the reat is a past history ?

Deborah Snipes Jan 20 2020 11:31 am Hyun Bin is my favorite actor from all countries. He's fantastic in anything he does, and I've watched just about every drama and film he's been in. I have worked in American television production, so I found this show very interesting and accurate in it's portrayal of how a show is put together, and the sacrifices that television crews make to make it happen. The chemistry between the leads was fantastic, as well as the supporting cast who was superb. However, the only thing I did not enjoy was how selfish I found Song Hye Kyo's character to be. Everything seemed to be about her right up through the end. Even when he was struggling with the degeneration of his eyesight, she adopted the how could you do this to me mentality and piled on to his stress. Through it all he still managed to love her. I found myself becoming angry at her for mistreating him in his hardest times. Just made me love him all the more. I know it's just a show, but still...did not enjoy her character at all. Still glad I watched it though.

Ruu Oct 21 2019 4:17 pm Omg fourth drama to watch with hyun bin in it and absolutely not regretting it 16 amazing eps tho the end was a little rushed but all the drama was amazing really recommend

Aransha Mar 11 2019 4:28 am I love this drama.. hyun bin and song hye kyo cute together.. why they are separated.. they have a great chemistry.. It seems imposible to watch hyun bin and hye kyo in another drama but i still hope they will play some drama or movies together

Kakak Biru Feb 02 2019 11:35 am Just Finished to watch this drama, this is GREAT DRAMA!!!. I refused to watch before due to low rating. But I try because I'm falling in love with Hyun Bin since Memories Of The Alhambra. I love the sory line and Hyun Bin & Song Hye Kyo have a cute chemistry. I still can't believed why this drama had a bad rating..?????

lrt Jul 22 2017 2:36 pm All the lead character did was yell and berate her boyfriend constantly while he patiently just took it all because he was so mesmerized by her. People worked through their own issues and each came to new understandings and levels of acceptance. Interesting background story and never a dull moment.

qrucil Jul 13 2017 11:44 pm This drama is really really good. Why is this drama rating so ugly ?? But the drama is very good ..

me Sep 28 2016 4:52 pm i love it :) i just started watching korean drama for a couple of days and i am loving it

R Patrick Jun 02 2016 5:59 pm Followed for many many weeks. Great story lines & will miss the show.

girly-coo Jun 02 2016 9:00 am This drama is really really good. It's not the usual drama. I really like the story. The chemistry between the characters also really good. I think I like everything in this drama kkkkkkkkkkk. I also like the ending>3< (even though I wish they would get married and have a lot of kids lol)

Suxshi May 25 2016 2:46 pm I knew that an actress called Kim Ja-ok has died but until now, after i realised who it is, i felt sad, she is one of my favourite in the drama and also she is beautiful. Wish she was alive and in more dramas. RIP!!

Dramafans May 23 2016 2:00 am Love the storyyy....One of the lines says "drama... escaping from harsh reality." As a drama fans.. I feel that way too sometimes, and ironically there are countless hard working people behind drama productions trying to make ends meet or pressured to meet the dateline.

Bravo for the screenwriters, directors and actors for conveying your message to your audience...and all the unmentioned staffs behind drama productions that makes the drama more enjoyable and inspiring.

shivani Mar 12 2016 5:15 am The first 2 to 3 epi was boring.. I almost decided to stop watching it... Thank God i didn't.... From the 3 or 4th epi it was just soo interesting!! N hyn bin n sobg hye kyo r sooo cute as a couple!!! Saranghe hyun bin oppa!!! Wish there were more dramas starring hb and shk....

sara Dec 26 2015 4:29 pm I saw part of drama on YouTube and they chemistry hook me not a typicall drama so real and natural I just love how they are simply humans...

Agnes Carrasco Dec 23 2015 5:55 pm Loved the acting of Song Hyun Ko & Hyun Bin & the adorable cast, great story, though I'm a Bollywood filmy Hindi being my language( no subtitles required when I'm watching Hindi movies or TV shows) but I'm learning Hangul & hoping I'll soon go without English subtitles as my eyesight gives out.Thanksfor all the good acting, love Hyun Bin(seen all his shows- wish him a Happy married life with a lot of kids) great directors, supporting cast, good team work! Go Hallyuwood! Love your culture, lot of respect to your elders & great moral values! & love your Religious beliefs whether Caholic Christians, Buddhists, etc, there's mutual respect for all Faiths, God Bless!

Starry de Beniza Dec 08 2015 2:18 pm I'm travelling with this drama again, ah really think of this. First time I watched, I can't remember all the story, but I love their communication.

Jane Sep 08 2015 4:11 am Beautiful drama, make me overwhelmed about love and break up. Move around in simple conflicts and reconciliations yet expressed with deep thought through character narration. This one is my most favourite of Hyun Bin works now. And I become a fan of Song Hye Kyo, so loveable. I will definitely follow up works of this director and screenwriter.

vmarlañy Aug 11 2015 5:18 am it's more realistic than another drama that i ever watch, no chaebol, no poor girl, but still hyun bin is really did great work in it, i love him since in my lovely kim sam soon, he is a good actor.

Lina Apr 21 2015 2:31 pm It's awesome drama, my favorite so far.I don't know why raitings are so low, perfect actors play and very good director, good story and.After i watch last episode i want to watch again from beggining :).

shin Apr 19 2015 11:51 am one of my favorite korean couple..;great acting skills

lunatepe Nov 07 2014 5:16 pm Wow, the first Korean Drama that had a semblance to real life.

Joy Oct 21 2014 11:36 pm Hey noba - it's either you'll love it or you'll get bored. It's not the typical "exciting" drama, the vibe is calm and natural and more realistic. There are no dramatic bad guys, just the couple working it out with their flaws and pride issues.

But personally it's my most favorite kdrama. And a not-so-thin-yet Hyun Bin is worth it, haha.

no ba Oct 17 2014 3:31 pm can anyone tell how about the drama? is it good?

mayaE Oct 09 2014 1:29 am hi, I love this couple,Binkyo/H2couple. They are my favorite korean loveteam. Hope they'll be reunited in real and reel life. Thank you.God Bless

Gray Fullbuster Oct 16 2013 2:49 am They look so good.. Why the break-up!!!!??? I'm so addicted to this drama.. This was aired in my country.
