"Boule de Suif Much?"
A "Boule de Suif" type of story, except the fact that all the bad characters are considered normal people with difficult conditions who should be understood no matter how badly they treat the FL. It was out in 2016, so I expected a dose of sexism, but not to the point of normalizion the sexual harrasment from ML, and him being portrayed as someone too submissive for his own goodWas this review helpful to you?
The story brings us to a typical workplace office where it’s a dog eat dog kind of world. Ok Da Jung, however, is different. You will hate her first before you will love her. She is honest, fair and fearless. Her goals are clear cut, her vision sees the big picture and the only way to it is through hard work. All these while preserving one’s dignity and pride. Above all, her sense of justice is balanced. I would have loved to see a closure of her relationship with her mom in the end but I suppose I can’t have everything. Nam Jung Gi represents most of us in our workplace and life in general. You need to watch this drama to see how he became a hero, you will be entertained and encouraged at the same time, I promise. My most loved character though is the grandpa, he has the cutest storyline of them all!
Needless to say the actors were all top notch in their game, I disliked no one :). Well...maybe Bo Ra was a bit over the top in one (or two) crying scenes...but I still like her, she is so good with comedic roles. The music was perfect! I felt like dancing each time it comes on, beat and timing were always on cue. I think one would be missing out (a lot) if they decide not to watch this gem of a drama. It truly is sooo good that I caught myself foolishly grinning from ear to ear many many times, I figured that’s the reason why my jaw was a bit sore when the drama ended, lol!
