Heard great things about Misaeng, and I just finished it tonight, and decided to give my honest opinion, as I deal with trading companies a lot, and the dynamic is very familiar to me. I also like office dramas in general. At times, it felt like I was watching a documentary, which is more bad than good. Story gets boring in the middle, there is not much progress, or a general plot. It was too much slice of life in the end for me. The good: - no silly cliches, none of the commercial drama elements we see in most public broadcast dramas. -great acting -great example of team camaraderie (both between Team 3 and the rookies). -full character development - Mr Oh was my favorite character, with Suh Yool being a great comic relief. -great theme song The bad: - Missed, abandoned or unfinished sublots (examples below, it includes small details that might be considered minor spoilers, but they do not affect the watching pleasure). - No use of Gue Rae's GO skills almost at all, although there is a heavy emphasis on his player background. It seems like the plot was changed after the first episodes. I expected him to use his "street smarts" to advance in the company. -The pace of the "intern" part of the drama was higher and more exciting. -What was the point of the kindergarten teacher's suplot. I really liked her, and this is probably my biggest annoyance, since it was hinted, missed and unfinished all in one. -The first episodes hint to a more action packed show.
