Good Manager (2017)

I was introduced to Namgoong Min through Remember and I was woah! I need to see this guy more. Good manager had been in my watch list for soooooo long, and then one day I saw that he and seo yool got best couple award, so I decide to watch this. And damn! I was blown away! It is such a good drama. It had everything - comedy, suspense, thriller and a good message. All I can say is that guys, u have to watch this drama.

The plot, story, characters, cast everything was so gud. Especially the character development.....how each of the characters changed was amazing!

And I seriously loved the acting! It was so gud!!!! Namgoong min was so eccentric playing chief Kim. His insanity, OMG! Even seo yool did such a gud job, showing those minor emotions evrytime he saw ha Kyung. And park myeong! Wow what an actor he is! I saw him in suspicious partner and. here again. He definitely deserves more dramas where he is the main lead.

Although seo yool and ha Kyung didn't get much screen time, I ship them so hard. They are such a good couple and I was so glad when they finnaly came together in the end.

The climax was as gud as everything else. Usually, when there's a fight between the weak and the rich, the end is just somewhat ubrupt. But not for this guys.... The writers did such a gud job, slowly making chief Kim weaken all the stumps of TQ and then the bull's eye, the chairman. It was so elaborated, but in the right amount so u don't feel too rush or don't get annoyed seeing it. It was just perfect.

Honestly, the only reason I gave this drama 9 for re-watch value was because of chief Kim's wacky attitude and seo yol and his bromance. Once again, u just can't get enough of them. You would really wanna watch it again and again and again.

All I can say is that u will be missing something if u don't watch this drama.

P.S. Chief Kim and seo yol are seriously such a. Good couple! Their fights in the start and chief Kim's somewhat gay-ish actions in the end were really gud.

Worth a watch!

I'm not overly interested in comedies, I have never really been able to get stuck in any.
Until I found this, Drawn by the actor Namkoong Min, his action roles have always caught my attention, his acting is perfect.

Surprisingly I was able to watch the whole drama without getting bored or distracted. It made me laugh/giggle non stop.
This drama also has a couple of 'serious breaks' between all the comedy, This really helped keeps the plot and kept the story going forward so it never felt like it gets stuck in an endless loop.

The sound affects in this drama are hilarious. the cartoony blips and bonks fit so well and made me laugh even more.

The highlight of this drama is definitely the back-n-forth between Kim Sung Ryong & Seo Yool, played by Nam Goong Min & Lee Jun Ho, respectively. They put their all into their parts and it’s hilarious to watch both of their characters start off as unlikable goons and slowly, almost accidentally, just to spite the real bad guys become the heroes their company needs. Theirs is a real hero’s journey.

Another thing I loved was Dong Ha in one of his very few good guy roles. He plays psychopaths so well that he rarely gets to play a positive role which is a real shame because he truly shines here as the spoiled brat who becomes a good, decent man and a loving son. So lovely.

I wish the series was a bit shorter - 20 eps were too long, IMO, so the middle part dragged a bit and the good guys suffered almost too many setbacks - but that’s my only complaint. There’s no romance in this, it’s all about friendship, how to be a decent person and how to stand up for what’s right. And it’s also quite hilarious. Nam Goong Min is truly in his element here.

Definitely the consistently funniest comedy that i've seen in Korean Drama. Nam Goong Min, who i've always seen play the evil psychotic bad guy brilliantly well proves that his range is as broad as it needs to be in this role as what I can only describe as "Dennis the Menace of the office world", taking on a much funnier role.

There's no romance here of note at all, maybe a couple of whispers in the background but if you're looking for Romance that's not the reason to watch. If you're looking for a fun story, fun characters, laughing moments in every episodes but at the same time some serious character development (it's always nice to see bad characters course correcting) then you'll enjoy this one.

Music was fun and bouncy to go with the general styling of the show.

After Sung-Ryong, I think Ga-Eun - who is an undercover prosecution detective - was probably my next favourite character and was glad they made her a main role and not relegated to a support role. Her character was fun to watch.

The comedy is good and easy, it doesn't stray into slapstick at all and generally makes use of character comedy, some funny as heck cringe comedy and plenty of insults thrown around to wind each other up.

Brilliant, definitely a good antidote to a dose of too many romance dramas to lighten the mind with some laughs.

The drama that got my parents hooked to kdrama

I just finished watching it nd am full of emotions so lets share my feelings nd thoughts . So anyone who is thinking to drop this drama ,, noooooo don’t b like me cz i hv been doing the same but guess what this was a jewel ? a biggg jewel. This drama is first one that i watched with me parents nd siblings, nd now they r slapping me for not showing them this masterpiece before. 1. The storyline is good ***. Totally a family oriented comedy sitcom (BR a cherry on top). it shiws u how the big groups in korea work nd i learnt so much about all the buisness stuff and corruption nd how hierarchy in work has people bound to obey their seniors even beingon right track . It deals with heavy aspects nd each episode is consistent and plot develops smoothly. 2. Acting was just superb , top notch. U cant help but end up liking each character . It shows a cute side of everyone yes even some villains if u watch u will know. Each actors was perfect for their role.nd our main leads were unmatchable with their intelligence nd were pro in their field . Our ML TQpsycho has never ending collection of facial expressions. Nd his bunsan swag style was epic. Throughout the story he kept making us laugh until we had joker ? smile lines. Our ML glutinous sociopath had aggressive feisty attitude always for more power. But he looked so hot in that attitude . Story shows how like give u accident to turn good from bad as happened with our male leads. 3. Romnce betweenFl nd Ml was to zero .ah but hate/love Bromance was soooo good that even my little brother kept shipping our mr.righteous nd mr prosecutor , side character also hd very cute romantic moments. _Special notice- R u sad? Just watch this drama. * R u happy? Just watch this. *. R u tired? Just watch this. wanna die happily /no regret? Just watch this

Just go for it !

This is one of the must watch Kdramas !! I was a little skeptical on picking it up , but wanted to give it a try after watching lot of junho and seonho dramas ! Though they both did a good job here , but the highlight was definitely manager Kim !

I have deducted 1 point only coz in the middle the drama became quite too technical for a non-techie to understand , but that lasted for 2-3 episodes only , and i think that was required to give the a build up ! There is dramatic and comedic ending to each and every episode which makes it even more hilarious !

Namkoong Min did an awesome job , as a crazy and righteous manager ! He was too cool to handle ! His bromance with GM and seo yul both were very cute ! The way he irritates seo yul is just beyond adorable everytime !

Junho was a rookie here ! Though he did a good job with all those evil expressions , he dint came across natural to me . I felt he was putting too much of an effort at some places , at others he was cute as usual ! Going frwrd I really feel negative roles would suit him better !

FL had hardly any good scenes , the detective was better than her !

Surprised.

I was kind of worried going into this show because honestly I was worried about there not being a romance tag. I think so for this drama it worked out really well. There was a lot going on and it and to have to also sort through an emotional relationship struggle I think would have been too much. Personally, I would have liked if they had wrapped the romance up a little bit better in the last episode, because for me it leaves me wondering where the MLs are. I can't really tell if the deputy chief is leaning towards the prosecutor or the chief. All the support relationships were explained, and so that would be my only "complaint" if you could call it one. The show left me laughing hard and was definitely worh it, but a big risk got me a big reward.

so i just came here to let out my frustration, like really the FEMALE LEAD is super ANNOYING!!!
I'm trying hard not to drop it only because of the MALE lead. He has great acting skills.. which has keep en me to further watch it.
Now back to it, like out of know where the FM is super clingy to the hero n always nagging, besides that she has no respect for the hero. Yeah, she has her perspective that he maybe a conman but still u must have respect for your elder staff. She is being like she is the chief.
Ok, now to the next point. The prosecutor just by looking at the FM got a crush on her. COME ON, yeah its just a drama but there should have been a little bit of sense of reality in it too. He has no reason to like her, like some quality, unique character anything.
HUFFF, okey got some burden off my chest. Will

Вот и закончился проект, который я считаю пока лучшей комедией этого года.
Если бы мне пару месяцев назад сказали, что я прибалдею от сериала про финансовое мошенничество в особо крупных размерах и не совсем "моего" актера Нам Гун Мина (это всё от проклятия первой "злой роли" ), я б никогда не поверила бы. Но это произошло, и теперь я сижу с глупой улыбкой во весь рот и с некоторой грустью,что больше не увижу пару раз в неделю неутомимого шило в попе а-ля шеф Ким на работе и вне ее. Сюжет пересказывать тут бесполезно, тут надо видеть всю эту корпорацию, серые и белые воротнички, пафос, эгоизм, долбоёбство начальников всяких калибров и тут же дружбу, взаимопомощь и выручку тех, которые всегда остаются людьми, на какой бы ступени социальной лестницы они не стояли. В целом посыл прост как доска - просто надо оставаться человеком и не идти на сделку с самим собой, тогда, если и не получится всё, но ты сможешь прожить жизнь правильно.
