Oh, Special Labor Inspector Jo , where do i start?

This is one of the funniest, most charming shows i've watched next to Chief Kim. It is obviously a satire filled to the brim with humour, so obviously don't go into it expecting anything else, but it does point a light at the irrationalities of the labour department, and how the people who protect others labour laws, are breaking every single one themselves. Overtime, pressure from above, etc etc. It is filled with heartwarming stories, heartwrenching stories and down right gutwrenching humour. And it is all made possible due to the extremely fun filled cast of characters making it possible.

After all, the story isn't new, but the characters are so damn charming that i don't mind at all.

Let's start with Special Labor Inspector Jo , Jo Jin Gap otherwise known as Jo Jang Poong. This character, with his obnoxiously lovely laugh, infuriating (for our villains) tenacity and downright hillarious personality, made the show great. He became a labour inspector late in life, after being fired from his job as a P.E teacher. He was on the national judo team, and is ridiculously strong, and left an impression on all the people around him, from students, to schoolmates, to collauges, to clients to passerbyes. His eccentric character made me, and our whole cast fall in love.

And about the rest of our cast, i won't spoil them completely

First and foremost you've got the idiot trio, and our main boi's (basically) adopted kids. They are a private eye, mainly dealing in affairs and low-lives. The CEO, Chun Deok Goo won my heart with his goofy smile and even more goofy personality. And his romance (i won't spoil) is adorable. Baek Won Man and Oh Dae Ri did not dissapoint either and are as lovable as can be.

Next, the labour inspection office. Every character, eves the token a**hole were hillarious, and played by veteran actors who know how to be funny and idiotic at the same time. I loved every scene with them.

The love interests (one pr. guy btw, no love triangles here) were cute. Though one was fleshed out a lot more, all three ladies did really well, and were the type of badass, not-damsel ladies i like.

And then we have our villains. Oh how i love our villains. There are some small-fry bosses to start, and they do really really well ;) then comes our main bosses. First boss is a cute mofo, who really should take some lessons in respecting women, second boss is a nasty lady with the perfect soccer-mom vibe and our third villain, is a seriously messed up guy, who just got funnier and funnier as our main characters closed in. The last boss, and the main antagonist has a really sad story and a reason for doing the things they're doing, and i think they had a fitting conclusion.

But let's not forget our support cast. Every damn character left a mark, and were reused at prime oppurtunities, and became memorable, lovable members of the family group chat :)


The music, scenetography, everything was great and added to the experience! :D


TLDR: Watch the damn show people! <3
