Slightly disappointing show for me
First of all, the elephant in the room is the casting of Park Jihyun and it seems like the makers just decided to give it to her after the popularity her recent hit You and Everything Else. But she decided to not put on weight and doesn't even look normal let alone look like someone with body image issues which was a point so many webtoon readers related to. They also discarded her character struggling to keep up with gym schedule when the work load gets high and yoga on weekends at home to make up for the guilt. She was a breath of fresh air to countless women. Park Jihyun also struggles with certain expressions to me personally and it always comes off as being sick or tired. Seo In Guk is not even given much to work with. Webtoon siwoo had a charisma and flair that was unmatchable and was truly a boss not one wanted to mess with. Seo In Guk on the other hand is just plain stiff. It doesn't work for this character since there isn't much comedy to make up for the dramatic stiffness. They had their own flaws in webtoon but it was messy in a good way. Here it's messy in a dramatic way. There was no task force in the webtoon and nothing was this dramatic in fact it captured the slow life of office. Now after I have talked about writing and acting, the director has also introduced some weird cuts but what saves the scenes is some of the locations, the sets and the absolutely perfect music. I am not mad but it's a disappointment for sure overall.Was this review helpful to you?
