At the beginning of Beautiful World, there are many similarities with SKY Castle, maybe it wasn't intentional and it happened that similar themes were released at the same time and by the same broadcaster, maybe yes. I prefer to believe that it wasn't deliberate, because the similarities are more present at the beginning of the plot, when we still don't know exactly how things happened and everything seems nothing more than an accident caused by bullying. It turns out that over the episodes, the script walks differently from SKY Castle, treating the themes in different ways and with a heavier and more dramatic approach. The theme of bullying and school violence is already delicate, and the drama conveys dense feelings, dark emotions and continues with a mysterious suspense. What seemed to be another case of suicide due to school bullying, in which a teenager is a victim and pays dearly for it, turns out to be something completely different. The story addresses impulsive teenagers and young people, under pressure, others with an already rooted bad character, and still others who do not tolerate injustice but are influenced and also suffer consequences. However, bullying is not the only focus, so the drama still shows how human beings can be easily shaped by people and situations, by parents, friends and how people can go far, far to protect their children even when they are aware of the Right and wrong. As a case like this, it can affect parents, teachers, schools and society as a whole. The message that remains is one of optimism, faith and hope in humanity, despite everything. It is, without a doubt, a story that makes us feel angry at the injustice, but in the end we can take a deep breath and feel that the beauty of the world depends a lot on ourselves, fighting daily for a better place, fighting to propagate good in the midst of this chaos. The story flows with great dynamism although it seems a little slow at times, it's a melodrama, we can't forget. But the script gradually unveils the secrets and intentions of the characters, and through flashbacks, the transition between the present and the past takes place, telling the viewer that not everything is what it seems. The ending is very exciting and unpredictable. Not that extremely brilliant ending, but at least for me, it was different from what I imagined, and the best that reinforced even more the concept of faith in humanity. Ultimately, Beautiful World is a melodrama with depth and sensitivity. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from romantic comedies and clichés. I don't recommend it for anyone who doesn't like exaggerated melodrama (I hate it, I can't stand it, I have no patience).
