in some ways it was like a dream work environment, Bok Dong didn't care for background or educational degree or age, and he gave everyone a fair shot, he gave worth to the employees, they work hard and the customers let the saying "the customer is the king/they are always right" get to their heads and they disrespect the people who are just trying to make a living. but here it was different.
usually korean dramas don't do this, but I liked the theme eps for Halloween, Christmas and the others.
the ost was like an anime's theme songs and overall it was a fun ride~

And the comic effect... is simply divine. Regardless Kim Byung-chul in his constant stoic demeanor dishing all sorts of quirky ideas, or attempting "Flashdance" moves in tights, or his frantic jives as master DJ. Park Ho-san also levelled up playing a villainous, exasperated director role with great conviction and hilarity. Manoeuvring himself amongst security beams a la "Entrapment" style. Lee Dong-hwi's performance as innocent, derp looking manager added zest to the final plot twist. And rest of the crew from youths to the elderly were outstanding in their performances. Overall, a very well produced and directed show with much creative adaptation and in-depth character interpretation.
Prior watching this series, I thought the other K-drama "Catch the Ghost" was a one-off unique production. So I was pleasantly surprised to find "Pegasus Market" equally good. If these two productions are indication of future K-drama style and standards, I will be following every series and episode.

Comedic yet heartwarming
While it could be viewed as overwhelmingly comedic and even ridiculous at times (especially since it was based on a webtoon), it was more than a mere comedy. The snippets you get of the character's lives help you sympathize with them all. While each of them have their own past, this drama shows you that while you may not be completely content with parts of your life, you can still experience happiness in the present and future.It shows just how important it is to be compassionate and kind to each other while embracing and trying to become better versions of yourself. There was also a large emphasis on caring for each other so that everybody could find happiness in their daily lives.

PEGASUS market.
Alone the name tells about it already.
A story so whacky so absurd never heard of.
I don't watch kdramas that often but with this I was pleasantly surprised. It's so different from the typical kdramas with all their tropes.
I love that the kdrama industry is trying to broaden their horizon with more comedy.
This story doesn't makes sense.
I does not.
No logics apply no tropes no typical leads.
It is comparable to what your brain does when you have to much imagination and nothing to do.
It's like a pile of imaginative nonsense in a good way.
There is no way for me to describe all the characters perfectly but here are my impressions:
I liked alot of the cast actually. Mr Moon was my personal favorite throughout the story. He gets portrayed as a simpleton but you'd be surprised to find more.
The Chief Jung Bok dong is just.....
How to put it.... A rascal with nonsensical ideas up his sleeve wherever he goes.
I liked him too but I think he could have done even more with his role... If that is evn possible.
The Bbaya tribe was a nice addition however, they walked sometimes the fine line between stupidly funny and annoying.
Mr kwon. Had always an obstinate warily expression and I think that also describes his character very well.
A personal favorite of mine was gab.
He needed more lines and screentime!
His character came that of a haughty nervous chicken pretty close and the actor acted very well.
Oh In Bae aka the king of the customer satisfaction center. Was a great idea. I think he was a good character but I wish he would have alined with the king role even more.
For the story I was impressed. Alot of abstract interesting ideas. Not only for the storyline itself but also the environment.
The mart itself, like the chargeable revolving door, the car polishing wax that grows hair, the secret room for hidden documents etc.
I didn't expect such a wacky comedic drama to have such an emotional side.
I gotta be honest a cried a little.
What I didn't like were the amount of popculture references and gtbh the momoland fan service. I don't think fan service is generally necessary in dramas because it doesn't add to the story and feels more like a promo/filler.
For the popculture references Im ok with as long as it doesn't get overused. I often don't get the references because Im not hugely involved in popculture or kdrama land so often jokes that had that direction didn't land for me.
All in all I think it was a very innovative drama that explored new ground for kdramas and I hope there will be a season 2! It was fun to watch and much more than funny I found it partially fascinating.

Fun little drama but the concept became stale mid way through with some skits weren't as good as the earlier ones. It would make a great comedy movie with some refinements or at least cut it down to 6-8 episodes while removing the boring bits and this would be a solid package. The music bits were decent. On another note, whenever they use CGI it doesn't blind well especially the shot of the main building they keep using.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointing
I started the show with lots of expectation due to the excellant actors in the cast. But mighty disappointed and frustrated by the time they ended. They had lots of potential with interesting story line and their inclination towards quiry humor. However their story line was bad, with no real concept. Weak weak after week I was expecting some kind of twist which will make sense of what is happening in the show thinking it was building for something big. With actors like Kim Byung chul and lee dong hwi, I felt they could have supported any twist. But the script was so bad, they did not have anything concrete to offer by end of the show. Very disappointed with the high praises with reviews where they mentioned this show as highly entertaining and funny. It was funny maybe for 2-3 episodes however after that it was irritating more. Good actors wasted on this show.Was this review helpful to you?
The story was okay at first, seemed a bit predictable though. And, of course, the ending was exactly that. However, the drama had a feel good, heartwarming plot with some interesting characters. The whole market was a crazy ride, with kings, sweet little girls, an odd hillarious oompa loompa like group of men and an even more crazy ceo. And even though some acts were a bit over the top, the overall result was good. The performances were pretty great too from everyone in the cast, but especially the kids.
So, overall, seven out of ten for Pegasus Market.

weird, entertaining & fun
This is not the typical Korean drama. I picked this series randomly as business comedy genre from a recommendation list. And it didn't disappoint me. Watch this with an open minded and you may find some value along the way. I feel like watching a baby drama growing up whose parents are Japanese and French, but the child is a Korean. I know it sounds weird. But if you appreciate the weirdly entertaining series, this one is for you. The story is so far good. Acting are on point. I wonder what will be the outcomes if we execute those ideas in reality :)Was this review helpful to you?
Her kes anlamaz iletilmeye çalışılan mizahı anlayan çıldırır harika diye
Çok çok çok beğendim?. Hangi birinden bahsedeyim bilemiyorum, diziyi övmek konusunda nereden başlayım? kafam karıştı, o kadar güzel ve özenli sahneler var ki?. İlk kadrodan söz edeyim: Komedi konusunda çok başarılı oyuncular vardı dizide ve kendilerini fazlası ile ispat etmişler bence. Konusu fazla iyi, orijinal, beklenmedik ve bunlar dizi konusu ve senarisini tamamen farklı boyuta taşıyor. Ben bu dizi sahnelerini tekrar tekrar izlerim yani, aşırı komik sahneler var, üstelik komedinin dibine kadar gitmişler. Absürt komedi, siyah komedi, mizah harika işlenmiş. Yani senaristin ve yönetmenin kafasından istiyorum?, fazla yaratıcı?. Dizi müzikleri ve sahnelerdeki özel mi özel klipler? muhteşem, çok yakışmış. Bu kadar övme yeter bence asıl konuya gelelim: Yani diziler iki tür olur anlamak ve anlatmak bakımından. Diziler var, izledikçe konusu ile sizin hemen anlamanızı sağlar ve fazla efor gerektirmez, sade ve hızlı. Diziler var, Nasreddin hoca misalleri gereği konusunu önceden anlamadan ne mesaj veriliyor, ne olup bitiyor bilemiyorsunuz. İşte bu dizimiz tam da ikinci türde dizi. Yaşamadan ve ya bir yerde duymadan, görmeden konuya yabancı kalıyorsunuz? bu ne garip saçmalık diye?. Ama emin olun konunun bu kadar gerçekçi olması ve üstelik bu gerçekliği harika ve ötesiz eleştiri ve mizahla komedi şeklinde sunulması ve bunun iyi oyunculukla şekillenmesi, kesinlikle senarist, yönetmen ve oyuncuların başarısı ve üstelik konuya hakim olmalarını gösteriyor. Yani ben her bölümde şunu düşünüyordum: Ya acaba bunlar gerçekten markette, ve ya pazarlamada mı çalıştılar? bu kadar doğru. Kesinlikle market, satış, pazarlama ve benzer konularla ilgili çalışan, eğitim alan insanlar izlesinler. Ben her karakterde kendi çalıştığım iş yerindeki insanları gördüm?. Her hareket, tavır falan aşırı doğru ve yerinde gerçekten her markette yaşanıyor. Tabii bunu her kes anlamaya, gözlemlemeye bilir. Ama bir daha emin oldum ki, insan evladı her yerde aynı, ay bu koreli bu alman, bu türk diye bir şey yok konu iş olunca en azından bunu diye bilirim. Çünki dizideki eleştiri bu konulara hakim olmadan yapılması mümkün olmayan mizah boyutunda?. Sahneleri söylemek istemiyorum çünki kopya olur hepsi aşırı mükemmel hazırlanmış. Diziyi izledikçe konuyu kapmanız gerekir, ama yine de anlaşılır bence çünki her kes hem tüketici, hem de üretici bir bakımdan. Yani izleyenlerin gülme garantisi net?. Benzer dizi önerilerini de izlemediyseniz mutlaka izleyin benzer mizah ve komedi işlenmiş. Mesela Eulachacha Waikiki dizisi aynı mizah ve komedi üzerinde ama konusu her kesin anlayacağı gündelik yaşama ait, her kes yaşamış, karşılaşmış belki de, Entourage de benzer şekilde ama daha çok her kesin bilmediği ünlüler dünyası ve erkek arkadaşlığı ve bazen tamamen özel konuları anlatıyor, ama en iyisi bu dizi diyorum?. Gerçekten her bölümde tüylerim diken diken oldu nasıl biliyorlar yaa diye inanılmaz vay canına ancak bu sözlerle şaşkına dönmüş şekilde izlemeye devam ediyordum. Gülmekten kopacağınız dizi, sahneler aklıma geldikçe aşırı heyecan ve kopmalık bir enerji geliyor?. Kavramanız için Kore eğlence gündemi ve genel dünyagörüşü konumuna giren meseleleri bilince ne şekilde mizah işlemişler hayran kalacaksınız. Üstelik bunları izledikçe eğleneceksiniz. Hele göndermeler var harika? Bir başkanlarına gönderme yapmaları kalmış, ama Mavi saraya yapmışlar hatırladıgım kadarıyla? Gerçekten her sahnedeki anlatılmaya çalışmak istedikleri mizahı izah etmek isterim her kes güle bilsin ve ya anlasın böyle iş dünyasında neler oluyor ama bozmak istemiyorum her zamanki gibi izleyiciye bırakıyorum. Sadece izlemeli olduğunuzu bilin yeter. Saçmalık ve ya benzer şey diyecek olursanız bir şey diyemeyeceğimiz konumda olacağız anlayan tayfa olarak?, çünki bunu bize adamışlar teşekkürler senariste ve yönetmene. En önemli mesele dizide aşırı güleceksiniz ama duygusallığın alasını göreceksiniz. Dizide ufak ama önemli duygusal ters köşe var çok beğendim. Yani dizide yok yok efendim mutlaka izleyin izlettirin derim.Çok güleceksiniz!Was this review helpful to you?
Почему стоит смотреть?
Если вы хотите отдохнуть от грустной серости бытия и посмеяться от души, то эта дорама то что нужно! У всех героев очень хорошо проработан характер и (что важно!) минимальный намёк на трагедию и романтику. Практически онли юмор). Так же в каждой серии есть отсылки ко многим дорамам, аниме, фильмам и событиям)Was this review helpful to you?
