Working Women
When I read the description (the Netflix’s one), I thought this would be another drama about relationships and cheating. In the end, I was wrong and I’m glad about it.
“VIP” is a drama that revolves around the life of the people that are working as members of the VIP Management and especially, it focuses on the working women. The drama manages to show through its women characters the different kinds of difficulties that women face in their working life. Even though the drama is very woman-centered, the whole concept is handled very meticulously, with respect and it doesn’t give the feeling that is all over the place and that is the drama’s charm.
The drama is a mix of romance with some mystery elements but generally, I would categorize it more as a business and slice of life drama. It can be also considered as a light drama because it doesn’t contain extreme violence, gore or other scenes of this kind. As far as the pace is concerned, the drama is slow so there is a high possibility for someone to lose their interest. Fortunately, I didn’t lose mine (as I’m a slow-burn lover) but I have to say that the drama was tedious for me at times.
About the characters of the drama, the females seem more well written and complicated than the male ones. I consider it as a disadvantage because this was one of the reasons the female actors shine bright in the drama while the most male actors sank.The strongest example of this is the male character, Park Sung Joon. This character didn’t have enough scripted words to say. Every time he was talking with a female character, he wasn’t talking, only looking. In some way, that was his personality but it seemed as personality-lacking to me.
Anyway, I have to say, this drama made me adore all the female characters, even the women who had more controversial motives because they had Personality and I was really impressed by them. I especially liked Lee Hyun Ah because she seemed the most logical of all the characters. She always fought back, never gave up and she didn’t care about her pride. She was an amazing person.
The drama’s production isn’t top notch but it can’t be considered as bad. In fact, it is as it should be, so that the drama ends up being beautiful and eye-catching but nothing else except this. In other words, it isn’t so “artistic”. The music consists of some very interesting and wonderful BGM music that is likable, but unfortunately it is a little repetitive.
To sum up, VIP is a drama that I partly enjoyed because it has some really good scenes and it gets some very important messages crossed. I have to say though that I didn’t care about the general plot at all. There were times that I thought of dropping this drama. In the end, I completed it but I have very mixed feelings about it. I don’t know if I would recommend it, but I believe it deserves a try because of its beautiful (and rare) subject matter.
