Wow, it's so interesting how differently two people can perceive the same films. I watched this one last night…
That is very interesting, but it's great that everyone has diverse opinions. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this movie. Like I said, I thought it was very well made, but there were just a few things that disagreed with me. I'm a huge Han Ji-min fan though, and I thought she was great in it, as was Nam Joo-hyuk. Also, I watch way more Japanese movies than I do Korean ones, so I generally prefer that low-key, quirky, ironic style they often have.
Wow, this is totally different from the Korean remake, and way better. It's much more restrained, with a lighter, more skillful touch. The Korean version feels vulgar and slapstick in comparison.
Just finished ep5, and I don't understand why the HR director, Dang, is being portrayed sympathetically. So far,…
Now I just finished the whole series, and I can forgive Dang for being a company shill in the beginning, but I still can't forgive Han Se-gwon for being a creepy backstabber. People like that usually don't change, so Na-ri should watch her back, because he'll betray her one day.
Also, a lot of other things in the plot were hard to believe, like the idea that installing this error monitoring system in a million dishwashers out in the field somehow is less expensive than just replacing the overheating chip in a fraction of them that fail. And why does the company keep wanting to lay off one of their most talented employees over and over for different reasons? But I liked the feel-good ending.
Just finished ep5, and I don't understand why the HR director, Dang, is being portrayed sympathetically. So far, she's just a lying shill for the evil corporate leadership. Maybe she'll change later in the show, but so far, I think of her as being almost as villainous as her ex-hubby. That's saying a lot, because Moon So-ri comes with tons of positive baggage for me, having admired her acting for many years, ever since I saw her in the movies Peppermint Candy and Oasis, where she gave one of the greatest and bravest performances by a Korean actress I've ever seen. But in this show, I really dislike her character.
