A remake of Call My Agent

It took me awhile before I realized that this show is a remake of French TV comedy series Call My Agent. While I did very much enjoy the original Call My Agent series, behaviors and actions that seem plausible, relatable, humorous or ring true for French characters seem way less so or even impossible for S. Korean characters, and thus many of the things the charactors do and say feels very inauthentic and unlikely in the Korean context. Whereas most kdrams are a window into S. Korean society, this drama is not because it's written for French characters, so it's kind of an odd and confusing watch.
