Very underrated drama

Honestly i loved almost every minute of this show.

But before getting into it i feel like i have to talk about Misaeng which is what i consider to be one of the greatest kdrama ever and basically a blueprint for all Work/office based dramas. Misaeng had a very realistic portrayal of life and i ended up being emotionally attached to most of the characters in it, this also happens to be why i've never rewatched the show, i consider watching it again as emotional abuse because it has loads of depressing and sad scenes.

Agency almost feels like the opposite of Misaeng, it doesn't feel as realistic, you'll like the characters and understand their actions but you won't end up being as attached to the characters as you do in Misaeng for example though you understand the female lead, her actions and why she is the way she is you'll not be as attached to her due to her toxic relationship with work, unless of course you suffer from any of the issues she has. Even with my favourite characters of the show Han-na, Mr Park and Eun Jung, its more of a feeling of wanting them to have more screen time rather than any attachment to the characters.

What made me like the show is how it managed to balance all the typically boring work scenes with light comedy & melodrama most work based dramas tend to over do the comedy with wacky crazy scenes you don't really get that apart from some scenes with Han-na, like sometimes you want to watch something serious/mature but not overly sad/depressing or have too many silly comedy scenes, due to this I will definitely be rewatching this multiple times in the future.

My only grip with the show is that the FL's relationship with her mother & pills could've been fleshed out more, it felt like they either forget about character development and decided to add subplots for this at the last minute or they planned for character development and just gave up half-way.
