The story is set around Method Entertainment, which is a major management company and depicts their work lives, personal lives, and desires.

It’s Not That Bad

For a change, it seems I’m on the opposite end of an unpopular opinion.

I placed spoilers at the end of this review.

I thought this was an interesting and funny series. I don’t know how much it mirrors the French TV series (Call My Agent!), but I thought this script was good. However, It’s not perfect. There were some aspects of the script that I did not like. See spoiler alert at the end of this review for more information. I thought the cast was wonderful. I liked the group dynamic and that all of the characters were likably flawed. I also loved seeing the various guest actors in each episode playing mock versions of themselves. The one main critique is the pacing. The series starts off strong but gradually losses energy throughout the series. As for the ending, see the spoiler alert on my take of it.

Random Note: As stated above, I did not see the French TV series this was based on which is probably why I enjoyed this series. Is the series perfect? No, but I don’t think it deserves all the hate it’s getting. I’ve seen far worse dramas than this one.

******Spoiler Alert******

The relationship development between Ma Tae Oh and So Hyun Joo is inconsistent for the first half of the series. It does not progress in a natural way.

I did not need the hinted incest love attraction throughout the series between two of the characters. This was unnecessary and seemed out of place. It also served no purpose in this series (for now at least).

Everything towards the end of the last episode is hinting at a second season. If so, the ending is perfect. I would absolutely watch it. If not, then I’m completely pissed off how they ended it.

Loved it & planning on rewatching when I’m in the mood something casual

I loved this show . Honestly started on a whim since I kept seeing it on Netflix & the first episode was a bit slow. But the relationship between main characters. Janes character was my favourite! I love strong female characters with a complicated personal background. I loved how every episode had a real celebrity playing their own character & it was nice to see the ones I recognised from the dramas I’ve watched.

I loved the quality of the show and the realist aspect it had. The fact that the agents were constantly facing a new problem and how they over came it was so real! It was the perfect casual show to watch, nothing too serious & usually each episode has its own plot/storyline but you get to follow the main characters personal story too. Would recommend 100% and definitely planning to rewatch when I’m in the mood for a laugh. I loved that this show wasn’t too serious and from seeing other reviews on here, it’s a shame people didn’t like it
