This drama is incredibly well written, most fall into cliches and tired plot-holes. This was refreshing we see a young and desperate young man trying his best in a ruthless and vicious world. He had a poor upbringing and had a singular activity which he abandons his whole identity taken away and he has little to his name, we see him gain competence, confidence and move through the corporate world in such an inspiring way. The way that office-place dynamics were represented were very unfiltered we see how harassment plays a place in terms of misogynistic workplace culture, hierarchies in the workplace and topics nuance explored and represented I think this drama gives voice to a world that is less shiny but still beautiful in it's ruggedness the way in which we see each of the interns feelings through their difficulties was so well portrayed the actors and script were amazing, bar the final episode I was taken a back from that.

Struggles we all live with

STORY:
This drama is interesting as it intersects the wholly real parts of everyday living with some of the less believable areas. I'm to assume this is to keep view entertainment for a fairly slow moving drama in terms of the amount that is happening. The FL is a very sweet and quiet girl and has two siblings one brother and a sister. We find that over time as the show progresses this isn't her character, she was born in a difficult period of her families life. She didn't know the love her siblings had she shut herself down, and it's hard to not look at her softly. She desperately seeks companionship in GU and we see a quiet and understanding develop between them. I found this part of the story to take the narrative elsewhere I found having GU lead this very outlandish life to take away from the show at times, but I also found it to be fun and yeah it is silly and there are charms to unrealistic plot events. I do wish it was a bit more restrained in that aspect. I found the plots of both siblings to be very well done and frankly I though they were done better than the FL and GU, they were more grounded and relatable, both struggling in their own ways that you could see them as a person you've known.

CHARACTERS:
FL:
It was very nice seeing her grow into herself, taking up more space with the confidence she has
BIG SIS:
The funniest character and most relatable, I love the way she expresses herself
BIG BRO:
Similar to big sis, he's super relatable, i think a bit less funny and his humorous manner is so catchy

GU:
I found his character to be interesting in it I wish it was done with more subtlety but I thoroughly enjoyed his time with the FL it was very touching.

MY FEELINGS:
Really amazing show, that show how life is lived and how we come into our own selves and learn to pursue love, our own personalities and to move into your own being rather than what pain has made you become.
