Misaeng is such a mirror in the life of an everyday corporate worker, right from not figuring out how to operate a printer, getting screamed at by a boss to closing a project that seemed impossible.

All the characters are so well crafted, every single character will remind you of someone you've worked with. The good the bad and the ones you're not really sure where they fall.

It's a slow burn but not boring, gets into technicalities of a sales job but doesn't really alienates. It almost seems like not much really happened but so much has happened and we've lived it together with the characters

There is no love story, no romance but it celebrates the pure platonic bonds and comraderrie you share when you suffer and celebrate together.

Jang Gure's the central character pretty well summed up a millennial new jobber, all we wanted to do was learn how to give our best even if it meant bending backwards, it was always efforts more important than skills. Ofcourse things have changed now.

Last 20 minutes of the show was such an acid trip though, so far away from the slice of life tone that all the other episodes had, but I'm not complaining.
