A Light Hearted Romance To Pass The Time
Fun Fact: This film made a cameo in "Crazy Love"
After finishing Jugglers, I would definitely say it's a great light-hearted drama for passing the time. Depending on one's taste, the acting, story and conflicts may seem a bit obnoxious and overly dramatic; But these aspects contributed to formulating a playful and comedic atmosphere in which every threat and conflict made, would be taken with a grain of salt. The overall drama depicts various perspectives that convey meaningful messages for those who struggle in varying situations and how each character reacts and adapts to find a solution to their problems. Much like life, not all characters made the right decisions but eventually come to terms with their mistake and seek in finding resolution.
STORY: (Spoilers)
The main story focuses on Jwa Yoon Yi who is a 29-year-old woman about to reach her 30's struggling to find a stable relationship due to her job as the assistant of a married, cheating womanizer, who calls her at any hour to hide his scandalous acts from his wife. Despite her destain for his disreputable nature, she continues to assist him in hopes he would take her up the corporal ladder for promotion and an increase to her annual salary. This dream is only short-lived when her boss uses her as a scapegoat to hide all his scandalous acts as though he was seduced and only having an affair with his assistant Yoon Yi, due to this Yoon Yi loses her job and is placed on a waiting list of blacklisted assistants.
Prior to Yoon Yi's downfall in her career, she briefly meets our Male Lead Nam Chi Won while running an errand and becoming a victim of a traffic accident in which she insists to Nam Chi Won that she is fine so the encounter could be brushed off as a minor accident. We later come to discover that Nam Chi Won is in fact a Managing Director and a candidate to become the vice-president of the same company Yoon Yi works for.
The story evolves quickly to Yoon Yi eventually becoming the assistant of Chi Won who is the only manager in the company preferring not to have an assistant due to his quiet but stern and desolate nature. However, despite a rocky start to their relationship a series of events and coincidences leads to Chi Won slowly becoming fond of Yoon Yi, this fondness is slightly deepened when he drives her home after a night out drinking to discover she now owns and lives in his childhood home and is looking for a tenant for the upper level. Harbouring only a tragic memory of the place, and hopes of overcoming a trauma developed from those tragic memories, he decides to move into the upper level. Now co-habilitating in the same building separately they start to form a closer relationship and find themselves relying on each other during troublesome situations both at home and at work.
The main conflict of the drama is the battle for the seat of vice-president between Chi Won (whose interest isn't peaked until he starts to form a bond with Yoon Yi) and Jo Sang Moo the "main villain" of the drama. There are also conflicts occurring between Yoon Yi and one of her four close friends Ma Bo Na who happens to be the assistant of Jo San Moo. The following events lead to the conclusion of the drama which plays out and is resolved predictably.
FINAL STATEMENT:
The overall story of romance was quite beautiful whilst the important messages left for us viewers were indeed profound. I would recommend this drama to anyone seeking a quick watch to relieve themselves of any recent intense dramas and are seeking a light-hearted romance that is quite far from the intensity of melodrama.
