HAVE YOU HAD A "CLASSICS" CHECK-UP YET?

Short Pill: Full Review Coming!

Short Pill:

Two competing search engine companies try to make it the the top, while blurring the moral and ethical lines to get there. Search WWW is the not common drama that you’re used to. Love and Romance is not at the center of these storylines. Winning is. These are high powered and very determined Women who bring their own brand of “running shit” to the corporate race.

Short Pill: What won't the parents living in Sky Castle do to make sure that their children are at the head of the class? Nothing. If money can buy it, they want it. But everything that money buys doesn't always glitter.
