Women against sly old foxes misogynist
"Agency" can be interpreted as a drama of a ‘women team’ against a ‘men team’ to gain power in an advertising agency. First of all, I thought that misogyny only happens in Kdrama. I have watched a few dramas that degraded women in general (like the character of Yoon Tae Goon in Through the Darkness when she was looked down upon by her senior only because she is a woman). But maybe misogyny really happens in Korean society.
The drama begins with a promising plot featuring Go Ah-in (portrayed by Lee Bo-Young), who is a strong female protagonist. She is struggling against a few misogynists in the company who tried to deny her power and authority. There exists a thinly concealed prejudice against women despite their competency.
Go Ah-in’s character is inspiring, despite the conflicts she had been dealing with the unfair management, she remained strong against those men who keep tugging her down. Although behind a strong façade, there lies fragile anxiety that keeps hunting her, forcing her to rely on medication to calm her down. Her loneliness is understandable, growing up alone and broken, she has built her own defense mechanism along the way.
Until Chairman’s daughter joined the company. Kang Ha-na (portrayed by Son Na-eun) is the Grand chairman’s granddaughter little brat. Although she looked like she could walk on everyone’s nerves the moment she entered the company, she was smart nevertheless.
To survive in the company, Go Ah-in knows she needs to be tactical, so she can lead her team further and she has to choose a team to survive, it's either Kang Ha-na or Kang Han-soo. Apparently, Kang Ha-na had a beef with her brother, Kang Han-soo, who is the current Vice President.
Go Ah-in and Kang Ha-na are definitely an awkward pair, to begin with, but they have chemistry since they have mutual goals. Strong women competed against those sly old foxes in the company, you know it was never easy.
This drama is quite addictive even though the ending is quite predictable, a tad bit cliché I must say but it’s heartwarming to those who enjoy independence.
