Misaeng: Incomplete Life (2014)

Today's Webtoon drama's slice of life comedy part is slightly relatable to Misaeng, both MC is a temp worker who got in because of their luck and slight favoritism.

Misaeng and Run On both about life. Im Si Wan is also the lead role. At Misaeng he is also an athlete who failed to become a professional go player and has to change his career. There's a lot of life lessons that you can jot down in that drama but you may found it kind of boring because there's not much music just a plain conversation as if you're observing an office life and how will Im Si Wan character will keep moving forward and keep moving up in his career. In Run On he failed to continue his first sports because of an injury then changed into a runner then retired as an athlete because of unpleasant incident. He'll learn to change career and keep moving on in his life.
Both drama teach a lesson about life, how to be a mature person.

Both dramas show you how things work in a company, how to be an employee, the envy between the colegues, etc. It also ilustrates the story of a new employee who struggles to survive in company. But while Incomplete Life tends to be more serious, High School King of Savvy has a lot of comedy and is more on the romance side.

They both have that rookie/mentor close relationship and if you liked Misaeng you'll definitely like Argon - although, in my opinion, argon was a bit more fast-paced. They both deal with the workplace and there is no romance at all. Both were feel-good shows that gave off the same vibe.

They had same office slice of life drama vibe. Jang Geu-Rae and Jisoo are also newbie but different character. And I love two dramas potray the reality of their job.

Both are heartfelt dramas about life in different workplaces. Incomplete Life is in an office setting while Hot Stove League focuses on off season of baseball. Both have great acting from the ensemble and also gives variety of feels and emotions.

1. Very similar in the sense that they are both very technical, detailed and realistic wrt to the subjected industry…. One of them is in business trading, while the other is in a newer industry which has recently become the top pick of a lot of graduates… fund management/venture capitalist.

2. Highly recommended watch for those university students/graduates pursuing a career in an office environment regardless of industry (bank, tech company, trading, insurance, pharmaceutical etc). In short, a white collared employee. Misaeng being more general whilst MoMO is niche and specific to venture capitals. Reason being is it provides a lot of advice, tips and guidance which you wouldn’t learn at school and neither at home.

3. Provides a bigger picture than just from a graduate perspective… it provides a vision to what happens in 10 yrs, 20 yrs etc, when you continue doing something similar in an office environment.

4. Both provide insights to a female in a workplace setting. Unfairness, bias, prejudices and how to go about them.

Differences: MoMO has a romance theme, Misaeng does not.
: Mainland culture vs. Korean culture.

The two series are based on a book, (manhwa for Misaeng and novel for Du Lala's promotion) that deals with the arrival of a new employee in a big company. Both are work place related fictions.
In both dramas, our protagonists learn to adapt in a environment they are unfamiliar with, always trying to stay true to themselves beside being surrounded by people who only wish for their eviction. Both protagonists mature through their hardships, Misaeng doesn't have any romance, while Du Lala Sheng Zhi Ji have some.

Based off of webcomics, these two workplace dramas feature MCs that do their best to survive in a harsh reality—Miseang focuses on an entry-level grunt in a trading company and Awl a manager who forms a union in a supermarket. No makjang antics, just great acting and unexpectedly gripping plotlines.

Both dramas are top-quality slice-of-life dramas. They could be either healing or hurting you by making you face your true self. It's always easier to admit your problem when you realize that you're not the only one feeling that way, in this case, you can see your problem by watching the dynamics between the characters of the drama. The only difference is, no romance in Misaeng.

Both dramas showcase the lives of office workers. Both have main leads who are interns in their respective companies and showcase the struggles they have to gain a permanent employee placement.

Both dramas have this realistic/slice of life style to it and are both set (mostly) in an office setting. It discusses problems and challenges in people's personal lives, but also cultural aspects of the Korean office life. "I hate going to work" has a bit more humor to it than "Misaeng", but if you like one of them, you'll probably enjoy watching the other as well.

The main character(s) of both shows fails to achieve their longtime dream, and had trouble adjusting to their new job at first, but gradually finds pride and enjoyment in their work.
