It's been a long time since I last gave a drama 10 stars but here we are. Misaeng is a true gem that brings both stress and relief to your soul in your hardest moments. This drama caught me in some of my difficults periods of my life and gave me so much strenght, helped me deal with stress and insecure thoughts I've been having for such a long time about my place in my life, about my life path, my goals and my journey. There are two characters that warmed my heart and made me proud even though they're roles but I do believe that we need more people like them in this world. One of them is undoubtedly Han Suk Yool. The very best symbol of kindness, fragility, dignity and loyalty and I absolutely adored him. I love people like him in real life and I couldn't help but love him in the movie as well. Byun Yo Han did such an amazing job with his role and I'm rarely impressed.
Oh Sang Shik is the other character that is sharing the same moral values as me and that reasurred me that this is totally fine. It's just that life's more difficult that way. He's the type of a mentor that every person needs in life, and who will lead you to the right path and he will do it without any back thoughts.

The drama touches on so many important topics humanity needs to think about everyday because all those things are just a huge burden for all of us. Apart from all of it, Misaeng is a great example of the typical korean lifestyle, the hierarchy culture and the excessive stress that it leads to, especially for those who work in big companies.
