I loved all of the sweet interaction between the leads in 5 at YSR house...I am curious what will happen now that pandora's box of revelation is starting to bubble up...6 should be engaging.
So what exactly happens in this drama? He's a liar?
When she meets and falls for him, he leads her to believe he is an average guy who likes to write music, not the producer of her favorite music group and the recent ex-boyfriend of a kpop artist.
wow...I has no idea I would love this drama as much as I did. I never skipped ahead, which is rare....Engaging,Sweet, sexy, funny,... The bromance was amazing...One of the more mature dramas I have seen so far. It's made it to my future rewatch list.

It makes sense. Seems like the dramas in mandarin in general take longer to sub. It's my understanding the teams are smaller and they live in opposing time zones much of the time.
I have heard a lot of negative comparisons to Introverted Boss and this drama. Does anyone think they are similar…
The only thing I find similar is that they both happen within an office with a male boss and a younger just starting out female employee as the leads. The leads exhibit individual shortcomings until their relationship goes beyond work, as writers take the audience through various scenarios where the leads see one another in a new light while at the same time as maturing into stronger and healthier people personally and as a couple....I don't see much to compare otherwise. I loved Introverted Boss/ My Shy Boss from start to finish and this is quickly becoming an equal favorite...
Damn. Just finished ep6 and from SLS I don't think Doctor Seo Hyun seems nice anymore. D:
I am wondering if he purposely planted the idea that one of them would die to see what they would do, as well as assisting in their hiring. I'm really curious to see how much the doctor is an observer versus a manipulator of their fates.

I feel like I need to rewatch the first few episodes to see if I missed something, so far I've been catching on to important clues. I knew Woo Jin wasn't didn't come from a wealthy family with connections after the backstory about how he was looked over for a position when he was younger....I could tell there was something shady about the doctor and his interest in the 3 contract employees.
Now I'm super curious as to why Ho Won smashed into the building in the opening scene...I felt it was implying a future scenario, she wasn't day dreaming it was she? Is it because of the doctor or Woo jin or something else???
I find it good but not great...I have seen season 1 and season 2 1-15 subbed, and season 2 16-19 raw. The leads seem to mostly connect with the people around them while being mysterious frustrated with one another. I get this is the part of the story that they lack transparency in how they really feel, especially the girl, but at the same time I would have liked to have seen them connect more on a friendship level at various points in the story, it would help me see them more easily see them merge as a possible couple. It starts well and ends :) ... the episodes are 20 min long so it is easy to get through it quickly.... It's worth a one time viewing.
I hate that there wasn't a preview! And it ended with such a cliffhanger! Now I have to wait a week! Aishhhh!
Youtube...Almost all of the TV networks post multiple updates before or after they air a drama. Radiant Office can be found on the MBC Drama youtube channel.

Previews are less likely when it is the 2nd episode of the week, especially after the 2nd week of airing. I think we will have to wait for MBC to post something on YT later next week.
Damn. Just finished ep6 and from SLS I don't think Doctor Seo Hyun seems nice anymore. D:
I had a feeling the doctor was up to something... Yesterday I suspected he was using the 3 contractors in some type of social/psychological experiment, I didn't anticipate he was writing a book.
I have seen a number of people getting upset that this "Adaptation" isn't following the same path…
Yes from 2003... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naQKqp8Wppo
I didn't know it was an LDS production when I saw it. It fits the classic teen-collage something drama style for that era.
I guess the mormon church is looking to make "purity" based love stories for it's members. There is also a Beauty and the Beast inspired LDS romance out there too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMJoC9ynGtk
previous episode, i was shipping her with second lead guy..now i choose han kyul :)
I'm in the states and I turned 19 the same week I graduated high school. I think it all depends on when you start school and where you live.
Something to think about with the Korean age system. You are already 1 years old the day you are born, so 19 "Korean age" would actually be 18 "birth age".
I have seen a number of people getting upset that this "Adaptation" isn't following the same path…
Yes, the bollywood version it did follow the book plot in context, but there were clear creative liberties with the script, many of which were cultural and time period related but not exclusively...It was just the first example that came to me... There is always the mormon LDS version of P&P....or the recent one where everyone is a zombie....I love seeing how P&P gets interrupted over and over, but my personal favorite is the BBC version with Colin Firth, I think it's only missing 2 tiny scenes from the book.
I agree with Samsoon. It's slower paced, but I don't feel it dragging in anyway. The story itself is interesting enough to keep my attention...and there is Ha Suk Jin :)
After watching today and the preview for tomorrow, I think "romance" portion of this rom-com is about to pick up some speed.... There is definitely some strong hints of a love triangle emerging.

Viki does but I have no idea why the subbing is unusually slow...It's moving about 10-15% a day...3 days in and it's around 45% subbed. They must have a small team working on it.

I decided to delve a little into the magna, it looks like she's 16. In the world of K-drama there is no way they would keep the her a minor for more than a minute.
Curious if anyone knows, over how long of a time span in fiction land does the magna take place?

I just read in the magna Aki is 25 and Riko is 16, but it doesn't surprise me that the Magna author has a older guy dating a high school girl. There is a highly active subculture in Japan totally centered around it.... http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/from-scents-to-sex-the-business-of-japan-s-high-school-girls-for/3437844.html
