Overall I felt the script was well done, however I understand your viewpoint about the open ending. I'm personally ok with it...I felt much of the drama was more in alignment with true human nature, in the real world our stories are always moving...I guess for me the pace of the journey is continuing. It allows for a second season, but knowing Kdrama land is less likely to have one, this is really giving the audience to create their own conclusion...In the end everyone was left in an optimistic and hopeful state, no matter what they had to face in the future including KT.

I agree, the script was so well done. The cast was exceptional. I feel like I just read the first chapter in a trilogy. It should/could have run longer for many reasons.

I just finished 16. I'm happy and sad because I loved this program/script so much, it is rare to see such natural storytelling. The characters were authentically genuine, they stayed true to who they were from start to finish. Those who evolved did so in a way that felt realistic. If there were ever a second season, one could be made, as it is currently the end of our journey with Radiant Office I am personally pleased with the final overall. I will miss not having Ho Won and Woo Jin next week....alas I guess I can daydream about where the story goes from here.

I loved 16.

MBC uploaded the preview for 16...YOu may have to click on it more than once to get it to expand and then play....

My korean is VERY limited so if anyone wants to share what is said please do!

Back hugs :)
Real romance is built within the tender and thoughtful exchanges, this drama is filled with them.

I anticipated something was up with him.
Now I am wondering about the chairman...Will he wake up or die and there is something mentioned in his will...something major has to shift to bring justice for those at the company.

2 and 3 are subbed on youtube.

All of today episode clips for 15 are up on the MBCDrama youtube channel already

Hmmm I have no trouble watching it

I use to work in a thai restaurant when I was in high school, I agree the language can take some time to get use to... I have a harder time when it comes to the tone the women speak with....It's soft while being high pitched, which I find makes a few of the consonant sounds come across strongly abrupt in contrast.

The pace is a bit slow as Anopinion mentioned. I agree it is worth giving it a try.

You can see the raw preview for 15 here....

I don't recall subway in this drama, but it's in nearly 1/2 of them. The lead actress in Chicago Typewriter is shown working in one in her ealier years.
The Goblin seemed to have subway in every episode.

I'm a big supporter of LEGAL viewing, so I pay for viki and dramafever.
Sometimes I like to see an alernative to the translations used by DF, they tend to simplify or water down some of the meanings behind things...Soooo I watch on Dramalike.tv also to get a broader understanding. They play right from the page, and they also seem to be one of the fastest when it comes to releasing subtitles.

Other then between programs, Korean TV networks take little to no commercial breaks while a drama is airing. When they do have them, they tend to be super short....They might have 1 or 2 total breaks that are less than a minute..the ads are 15-30 seconds long.. They opt for ads between programs or product placement instead, It has it's pluses and minus.... It keeps the story moving, the running time is longer, but it can be a bit distracting and obnoxiously obvious you are being "sold" something...I mean everyone in Korea is obsessed with subway right?

Woo JIn..Those eyes are seriously crushing on Ho Won!
WOW ...Ho Won... IShe has a feirceness inside her that won't stand for injustice! I love her so much! I can't wait to see how WJ reacts to HW's latest epic office moment.

No preview for 15 yet ....sigh!

There are updates with the trailer and clips from 14 on youtube.

the trailer for 13:

Chanyoung: Let's go.
Sorim: Where...?
Chanyoung: I have something to tell you.
Hankyul: Whatever Chanyoung says to you, I'm not going to let you go (send you off) to anyone, ever.
Sorim: You don't look similar (alike), you really don't look similar!
Inwoo: But we have at least one thing that's similar!
Sorim: What is it?
Inwoo: We both like you (Sorim).
Girl 1: Crude Play's recent performance is trending on the internet right now.
Hankyul: What can I actually do for the guys (Crude Play)?

truly adore this drama, hard to think we only have 3 ep left. The only thing is I find Drama Fever white washes some of the romance in the dialog and regional nuances, so I am watching it again elsewhere...I don't want to miss out on all of the charm.

In EP 13 at the 8m 15 sec mark Woo Jin is speaking to Ho Won about what she will do now that the Doctor is the new director...will she give up or rise to the challenge...her total mood shifts from low to fierce... As he is walking away from her he smirks and comments semi under his breath.... DF version... Woo Jin says "geez I have to irritate him to make things happen" ...ummmm....this doesn't fit the context of the conversation at all.

BUT... It's translated other places as: "She bounces back only when I provoke her...She is like a human spring"...
Which totally fits...and one of the cutest lines ever.

Yes...I am really surprised they haven't opted to market internationally via viki or dramafever...It seems they use to have more J-dramas in the past, but it was some how stopped...Viki has a few but they are older.
