Office drama for the tired office worker
I've had this story on my watchlist since maybe 2016 but I never watched this until this year. I have to admit, this show won't be for everyone but as a 26 year old yuppie with 6 years in the corporate world, I really enjoyed this drama.
Unlike most office dramas I've seen, this show focuses on the day to day triumphs and struggles one faces in a 9-5 job. The drama tackles the issues that people in the corporate world encounter. And I appreciated the way they approached the office "drama".
As someone from the younger end of the workforce, I could really relate to the newbie group as they first learned to adapt to the working environment, to their supervisors and colleagues, and even figuring out how they could add value to their job and teams. You will empathize with the characters as each of them explores office life. I especially sympathize with them because I have been in exactly their situations myself. Seeing them overcome each struggle reminds me of the times I've conquered my own.
The portrayals of the different kinds of bosses were also very well done. And watching each newbie adapt to their own supervisor's teaching style was very relatable.
I liked how they showed how different friendships can develop in a professional environment. There are the newbies who started out as complete strangers who learned to like and respect each other. The supervisors whose work and responsibilities strained their friendship. And even the bosses who learned to accept that friendships in the office are hard to find when you're at the top.
I don't normally like kdrama endings but I pretty satisfied with the ending here. I know some people won't like how this ends but I think it illustrates the nature of a work cycle. There are time when people end up leaving and move on to different stages in their live. Or as Dong Sik would say, they're just opening another door in their life.
I recommend this drama to anyone who has struggled through the 9-5 life. It has a lot of relatable moments and relevant quotes. You will relive all the good and bad experiences in your office life but in the best possible way.
