A War of Search Engines

The war between two search engines (Unicon and Barro) is a war of personalities. Two companies were competing against each other and the constant outside pressure of people seeking or rejecting influence. You will find yourself rooting for the underdog. WWW is a drama about the people that make all this happen. A crazy team of dedicated professionals.

The characters are well developed, with each holding a spot in this unique storyline. Each episode adds or subtracts value from these characters, so I advise against fast-forwarding, as so many people like to do. The likability of the characters in this drama is, like always, subjective.

Ga Kyung (Jeon Hye Jin), the managing director of Unicon, was perhaps the most confusing of all the characters. She did nothing in the present-day story to make her seem like anything but a bad person. As a regular activity, she threw people under the bus numerous times and used hurtful language with those supposed to be her friends. But somehow, the story seemed to be trying to convince us that she was a good person, and maybe she was.

Tammy (Im Soo Jung), the female lead, was another confusing character. As the Barro team leader, she directed her team, taking the company to new heights. However, her romantic life was a mess. She didn’t want to get married; her boyfriend did. She carried that attitude and all its ramifications into her everyday life that made her unlikeable at times.

Park Morgan (Jang Ki Yong), the male lead, was not easy to discourage. That much was certain. Putting up with Tammy, his confusing girlfriend, who rarely showed any commitment whatsoever, was a testament to his tenacity. Will they overcome their differences?

Scarlett (Lee Da Hee) was a breath of fresh air. Her character was always exciting and likable. Her movie star boyfriend gave her a chance at romance. At first, she was at odds with Tammy but became close friends as the show went on.

I never felt much chemistry between the two leads. Their relationship was, at best, volatile. I wondered how the story would ever bring the two together. They managed to accomplish this near-impossible feat, but it leaves you wondering why. From Morgan’s viewpoint, the reward didn’t justify the effort, in my opinion.

Be sure to watch every minute so you don’t miss one brick of the story building.
