The story doesn't sound like it would be that interesting. A look at office life, big whoop! But it's a small taste of the characters lives. It's like we've been given a peek into a couple years of their lives. The plot twist in this drama is definitely different than in any of the kdramas I've seen so far. "Plot twist?", you say. Yes there is a bit of a plot twist and it's pretty cool. One of the rubrics that I always use to determine if a drama is going to be good is "does it have a good ending?". The answer to that question my friends is yes. Things get wrapped up nicely and you are left feeling like you watched a complete story without the post drama hangover wondering where you made the wrong life choices and would you do it again. This drama isn't necessarily binge-able. Of course, you can watch it however you want but I found it frustrating and draggy to binge. (I personally don't know how to watch Korean and Chinese dramas without binge watching them.)

The acting and cast are some of the most SOLID I've watched as a whole so far. Lee Sung Min as Oh Sang Sik is the star. At first, I didn't know how to take him. Was he going to be a jerk and villian that I hate or a decent boss that you love? Lee Sung Min really gave this character so much depth and feeling. He's the it in this drama both the actor and the character. Im Si Wan was great as the nervous newbie trying to make it in a new world where you have to fake it until you make it. Siwan's acting isn't as strong as Lee Sung Min. But he's cute and he held his own for the most part. The rest of the new employees were so good. My favorite character of course is Han Suk Yool. How do you not love that dude.


The music really made this story exciting. It's not a soundtrack I'd put on my playlist. But without the music the story would have been very boring. The music really helped you feel the mood and that's the point of soundtracks.

Watch it!! You'll love it.
