As a former intern myself and now a working professional, I LOVED this show so much. The direction, the writing, captured the mundanity, the shuffling of papers, the silent murmuring of your colleagues, in a typical office. An office where you can feel eyes following you if you aren’t dressed your best that day, where you’re on constant alert and always aware that your every move goes towards evaluation of your performance on the job.
At first, I struggled to put into words why I enjoyed this show so much. I guess it’s because there are so many relatable and very human moments in this show, and lessons to be learnt. And they are pretty universal, but feel especially relevant to those who work in office environments and large organizations.
The characters are well-developed, and they mostly don’t make decisions that are baffling or completely illogical. Even if they do, their characters and backstories are so well filled-up that you understand and/or empathize with their situations.
Im Shi-wan always strikes me as being too pretty, but I did watch him in The Attorney and he was excellent there. He is also excellent. At the beginning, I found his prettiness really distracting, but he plays the reserved and thoughtful Jang Geu-rae perfectly.
Lee Sung Min is excellent as a frazzled, but compassionate and dogged supervisor, whose gruff demeanour betrays his tender heart.
Byun Yo Han is truly the breakout star of this series, playing a chirpy and sparkling character who must also overcome obstacles and learn what it means to be a worker. Glad to know he’s know getting good roles that are also fitting for his age.
I can totally envision myself rewatching specific episodes, especially after a tough day at work.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this show to all.
