Cute Story for a binge watch
Followed closely Manga except the spicy parts. was a cute story to watch. Nothing toxic. what i liked was also how they showed the workplace jealousy. Have a friend who worked in Korea, said its all about what university you went. They had like groups in their company that only promoted their uni alumni.Was a cute simple manga and a cute drama. A typical Korean approach to BL.
Will i rewatch it? don't think so, but maybe read the manga again.
Recommendation for Great Korean BLs always welcomed

Nice and all, but forgettable
I have to be honest, I binged until ep 6 and then waited 3 days for ep 7 and then forgot most of what happened by the point I watched ep 7.Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly .... nice.
It's cute and light, the actors have good chemistry. There are some really cool and fun moments.
Then some angst happens which was written kind of in a weak way, made no sense, but not unusual for BL. Then it was easily resolved and then End. *shrug*
I feel like I can't even say much, because I forgot so mich already, even though I watched everything last week. Maybe if the script was stronger, maybe if it had more run time, it could have been better, but I don't think this drama aimed for anything but light and cute.
Since it's quite short, it's perfectly fine to watch if you got nothing else to watch, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone.

Short and Sweet
Overall I enjoyed the series.With just a little over 2 hours of screen time, the show unfortunately didn't have much time to develop characters or intricate plot-points.
However, that doesn't mean the story felt rushed - in fact at times it felt surprisingly slow. But I think that's in part due to the specific genre.
It's the kind of Slice-of-Life/Romance show where you can turn your brain off and just enjoy the fluff.
So, if that's your thing you'll love this story.

It's very cute
I had just read the webtoon and I really liked it, so I went for the series. First I'm gonna do some comparison then I'm gonna talk about the story itself.I loved what they did with this adaptation because the female intern doesn't exist in the webtoon, neither does the women in power of the company. The only girl in the webtoon is Jiyeon, his friend from college, so I liked that they added more important female characters. I really missed something from the manhwa which was the fact Jiyeon had her own drama going on. When Seung Hyun was sad because of the pen, he and Jiyeon cried together because she was also suffering because of a girl. She even found herself a girlfriend later and this girlfriend was very present, so I missed her plot. I'm not sure I liked Ji Yong's acting. I get that the character was supposed to give puppy vibes and he totally got that puppy eyes, but that man smiles way too much. It's kinda creepy tbh. Overall, I really liked how it turned out and the things they added, like the art, visual effects, a reference to the webtoon itself etc.
About the story: I really liked how the drama was about their success in the company and not that cliché "boss/employee can't be together" thing. I love how quickly things went, but still in a natural way. I think their relationship was so good and I admired how Mr. Kim was already trying to change because he knew he had been a terrible partner before, so he was willing to communicate. Even when he didn't understand his partner's side, he talked. He said "I don't understand, but I want to" and I think this is beautiful. I also liked that he got him a permanent job fairly. It was cute and warm.

One of the cutest dramas
If you're a fan of cute couples, then I recommend you to watch The New Employee! Since the begining, you can see how cute Seunghyun is: always so smiley, hardworking and trying his best! With someone like that, who wouldn't fall in love? He even melted Jongchan's heart, who everyone knew as a man who only thinks about work and is very serious about it.I wished they showed more about them as a couple, because most of the time they are together is when they're in the company, working in some projects together and I also expected to get more from the two girls who are Seunghyun's friends, they seem to have similar interests and I'd love to watch a drama of them too. I still wonder who was drawing this very specific manhwa they were reading, it would be so funny if it was one of the main boys!
Overall, it's a very interesting story and really well made, altought I feel it was a bit rushed in the begining, but it doesn't make it less enjoyable and I would tell my friends about this if they asked me for a good bl drama recommendation.

It gets better with every passing episode
First of all .... Good kisses... Which are not peck or dead fish kiss but actually satisfying 💋The characters are realistic or I may add a bit too realistic.
The cold lead is not actually cold but a cool guy with charm of his own.
The sweet guy is way too sweet with his cute dimples and smiley face.
The story revolves around office and makes a point to show that people are actually working!
As mentioned above, the story gets cute with passing episodes but I felt the ending a little rushed. A final kiss at the end could have been perfect but anyway a good attempt by korean BL makers.
Do watch if you don't have much on hand and love small cute BLs

very good!!!
It's a simple and light hearted story.A office romance that is really heart warming and cute!!
No intimately since but so what. I just needed a light drama. And that was what I was just looking for.
They had good chemistry, looked good together.
Not thrilling but not boring either. Made me after a long and hard day at school, smile, giggle and kick my feet. LOVED IT. I looked every Wednesday forward to watching it. Made my days soo much better and I want it to make others too soon I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE.
100% would rewatch and I have.

Virou meu bl conforto
Um dos quesitos para se tornar meu conforto é não me fazer passar raiva, e se existe bl perfeito é esse aqui, temos um desenvolvimento bem construído dos personagens e da relação entre eles, além do romance é abordado os desafios de se iniciar no mercado de trabalho. Por ser um bl de 7eps de poucos minutos foi mais do que perfeito. Casal com química e mega fofo, que conversa e o principal, não tem término! O estagiário é o ser mais adorável que existe só fiquei sentindo faltando de um beijinho no final. Na esperança de termos um ep especial para ver mais deles como casal.O destaque pra mim sem dúvida foi atuação mais uma vez impecável do Ji Yong, já tinha me apaixonado por ele em Once Again e esse bl agora confirmou ainda mais minha admiração pelo seu trabalho. Esperando ansiosa pelo próximo trabalho que ele fará.

Fez eu sentir coisas boas
No primeiro ep eu pensei em droppar pq a personalidade do cara me deixou com um pé atrás (agindo como uma criança inocente mesmo tendo uns 30), mas depois que me acostumei com isso ficou mais fácil de ver. Gostei do outro cara que era "frio", mas de um jeito tímido e recluso, e não do tipo apático que é o que eu não sou muito fã com male lead coreano. Acho que isso aumenta o impacto quando ele começa a sorrir, pq realmente parece que ele não consegue segurar o sorriso perto do boy.Spoilers:
Ele questionando se o cara e a moça namoravam e eles falando que são do vale foi muito engraçado kkkkkkk.
Muito fofinho que ele foi com tanta calma como menino, e deu todas as experiências de um primeiro relacionamento pra ele T-T
Eu amei que ele deu só um bejin na bochecha enquanto o outro estava bêbado, e ele ainda pede desculpas mds morri. Mas aí depois ele beija mesmo, quando o menino ta mais bêbado ainda.. não sei como me sentir sobre isso.
Quando eles tiveram o confronto sobre o ex, achei desconfortável de assistir, o moço Kim falou de forma tão hostil, sei lá. Não é assim que se resolve as coisas. Pareceu fora de personagem, ou então que ele estava fingindo/forçando a doçura antes :/
No geral, essa série fez eu sentir coisas boas, que é o que eu estava precisando.
O final foi ok. Não entendi pq eles pararam de se falar depois que o estagiario saiu da empresa.. Eles só podem namorar se estiverem trabalhando juntos, por acaso??

Uma das minhas preferidas
Existem vários motivos que nos levam a sermos cativados por um BL. Nesse caso, o que me cativou foi a ausência de dramas enormes, teve um ou outro, mas o relacionamento que se desenvolveu incrivelmente bem para os sete eps que teve, foi tão sólido que fez com que as crises fossem superadas bem rápido e sem muito alarde. Amei a personalidade dos dois, ambos já tinham ciência de suas preferências sexuais e não tiveram dificuldades em assumir o que sentiam, o chefe foi muito atacante e o estagiário não bobeou. Outra coisa legal foi mostrar as imagens do mangá original durante a série, amei isso!Como a história é centrada no casal principal, posso dizer que o chefe tinha características perceptíveis de alguém muito honrado, ele não queria um estagiário, mas não o tratou mal quando ele chegou, ele percebeu que o estagiário estava sendo explorado e interviu, isso antes de ter sentimentos por ele. Ele entendeu que o processo de seleção não foi honesto e tentou resolver, quando não conseguiu preferiu sair da empresa. Já o estagiário, um fofo sem maldade, não tinha raiva nem de quem estava tentado o prejudicar, não via as intenções ruins por causa de seu coração puro, morri de amores por ele...
O fato dele ter se apaixonado no passado pelo ex namorado do chefe é interessante, bem coisa de destino mesmo...
Enfim, amo essa série e dou 10/10. Atuação, enredo, direção. ost, química, não tenho nenhuma crítica.

Die Geschichte ist nicht sonderlich originell und die Ausarbeitung hätte etwas tiefgehender sein können, aber ich hatte super viel Spaß mit den 7 Folgen! Man fühlt sich einfach gut, wenn man die Leads miteinander sieht. Ihr Umgang ist so herzig.
Was mir besonders gut gefallen hat war, dass ein bisschen aus Stereotypen ausgebrochen wird. Jongchan ist kein kalter, distanzierter Mistkerl, der Menschen um sich herum verletzt, so wie man es sonst oft aus solchen Serien kennt. Die ganze Atmosphäre ist einfach zum Wohlfühlen und ich mochte es, wie supportive er ist. Seunghyeon ist super knuffig und ich fand ihn auch nicht zu kindisch. Er gehört eben zu den Menschen, die sich stark für etwas begeistern können und das nach außen tragen. So bin ich auch. Deswegen mag ich beide Leads total gerne. Wie gesagt, man fühlt sich einfach wie auf einer fluffy Wolke, wenn man das Drama schaut.
Es ist recht einfach gehalten, aber ich fand es total süß. Die Chemie der Schauspieler ist toll, die Supportrollen machen einen guten Job und die Musik mochte ich auch sehr gerne.
Es ist definitiv keine steamy BL Geschichte, aber das hätte auch nicht gepasst. Es ist eine Menge fluff und eine absolute feel-good Serie. Probleme werden nicht Ewigkeiten ignoriert, um Drama zu kreieren. Viel mehr sieht man hier eine sehr reife und erwachsene Beziehung, was eine erfrischende Abwechslung ist. Außerdem gibt's einige inspirierende Worte. Sowas mag ich immer sehr. :D
Hat mir richtig gut gefallen!
