A Heartfelt Exploration of Human Struggles
Rating: 9.0/10
“Beautiful World” is a poignant drama that captivated me from the very beginning. While I’m not usually drawn to stories centered around schools, this one stood out due to its focus on the struggles faced by adults in the context of school violence. It wasn’t just about students; it delved into the experiences of teachers and parents as well.
The drama fearlessly tackled the harsh realities of bullying, refusing to shy away from the cruelty that some children exhibit. However, it also avoided painting every situation with a broad brush. Instead, it explored the complexities of human nature, emphasizing how environments shape people and how parental instincts can have far-reaching consequences.
The characters were multi-dimensional, and the relationships felt genuine. I particularly loved the bond between Moo Jin and his student, Dong Soo. The drama seamlessly transitioned between flashbacks and the present, enhancing the storytelling experience. The imagery was powerful—the glass-like house where Joon Seok lived symbolized the prison-like environment he faced, while Seon Ho’s warm home provided a stark contrast.
Admittedly, the pacing could be slow at times, but that’s expected in a melodrama. I wish the show had dedicated a couple more episodes to explore the aftermath in greater depth. Joon Seok’s redemption and newfound friendship with Dong Soo held immense emotional weight and deserved further exploration.
In summary, “Beautiful World” is a thought-provoking drama that doesn’t shy away from the complexities of life. It’s a must-watch for anyone seeking a heartfelt exploration of human struggles.
