It is light hearted... but very SLOW in the beginning. It wasn't until episode 7 or so that I began binge watching episodes. Totally worth it.
It is an intentionally absurd comic made into a tv show. Bromance is STRONG with this one. The chemistry is present with every single person. If you want something warm, fuzzy, and absurd, watch this.
BONUS (or not): lots of accounting and economics talk! I LOVED it. It can get esoteric if you don't understand accounting, but that doesn't detract from the story.
No romance, btw! Pure fun!

Story:
The writing, how the plot was playing out and how they made a construct of problems and obstacles only to make the character's find a solution which is even more amaizing, surprising and especially: clever!; is what made me being glued to the screen.
Acting:
The actors... don't make me start on them! They did an amaizing job! The acting, especially from Nam Goong Min, captivated me to the extend that I forgot everything around me. Nam Goong Min did an amaizing job of delivering the comedy through facial expressions, way of talking and simple body movements (I have a folder on my computer which is Nam Goong Min's facial expressions only, I swear)
Music:
I don't remember the music that much but I remember that the athmosphere was captivating and on point throughout the drama. The music plays a huge role in that aspect and that's why there is nothing to complain about ^^
Rewatch value:
I can 100% see myself watching this drama again to enjoy the cleverness, unique acting and the overall feel it has!
Thanks for that drama!

What happens when you introduce a thug with heart into a corrupt corporation? This is the premise of Chief Kim.
What made the drama shine? Rather than the story, the drama shined because all of its ingredients, the acting, the writing, the music, all came together beautifully like a wonderfully conducted orchestra.
This drama has one of the best depictions of love-hate bromances you will see anywhere in kdramaland. There are also multiple bromances and mentor relationships. It also has many characters who were fully multidimensional. Sometimes it's common to see only the main 2-3 characters be fully fleshed out in a kdrama. However, everyone in this drama has unique personalities.
No romance here, but it's really not needed. You don't always need romance for excellent chemistry to spark between cast members.
All of the comedic effects were on point. Be prepared for lots of laughs and simple enjoyment along the wonderful OST.

You may feel that there is nothing new in the firstlook. But once you started the first episode you will defenetly continue to watch till the finale. Such an outstanding enjoyabe drama.yes basically it deals with office problems company issues with some politics etc. But there is no boring elements or laging portions. Every bit of the episode was awesome.
Acting is the another factor .The title Character Chief Kim was the back born of this drama. Exceptional Acting.His attitude, behaviour,style, dialogue delivery, humour sense,eye contact such as everything was perfect and mind blowing. Some of the other characters are also just brilliant especially that three main lead lady characters.. very cute attractive and humurous acting. Brilliant overall screenplay and the real soul of the drama was the Orginal Sound Track with Beautiful mixing of background score.
Just try it everyone,20 episode with 1 hour per episode. Its not a usual drama it has much more elements which will surprise you even more
Enjoyed a lot

I started watching it and then in two days i already finished it, i rarely watch a non-romance kdrama but this is absolutely worth it.
I loved everything about this drama! the cast, the music, the story, and the art at the end of the episode. don't forget the bromance, it's so good in here!
Just watch it, you will never regret it! i never found myself bored watching it, when i was close to the final episode i was so sad, even now i'm sad because i wanted to watch it forever,

Story: I personally found the story very interesting, I was never really bored and each plot twist seemed believable and new.
Cast: The casting here was absolutely phenomenal. I had seen a video on youtube where the main leads had been practicing their personas for a very long time in order to perfect it and show it naturally. This really paid off as all the characters were believable and real through the acting.
Music: I still have the ending ost stuck in my head, it's so catchy and fun addition to the show.
Rewatch: Chief Kim is always ready to bring you laughs and its always fun to rewatch.
Overall: I think this is one of the best kdramas out there. Its story is amazing, the casting is amazing and you can guarantee that you can always laugh, get immersed in the story and have a good time.

Give it a try
If you're hesitant to watch it, give it a try of 5 episodes then decide, because it's an amazing Drama and you'll regret not watching it before. If you feel the craziness of the characters well you'll laugh your heart out. I feel so satisfied after watching this for an unknown reason. The bromance, romance, comedy, tactics all are pretty good. It's worth your time with many morals in a simple method. Namgoong min is such a talented and versatile actor. My first intro to him was Doctor prisoner in a sophisticated role and after it Villian role in Remember & in this one being Crazy TQ Chief just blew my mind away. Junho did a great job of being a cute villian with screaming wherever and whenever, I've seen him many times but I've come to to acknowledge that his acting in this role is my favorite one out of all.Was this review helpful to you?
