Great Story

Well this is like my 5th time watching this series. The main actors have great chemistry and the secondary plots are very well interwoven together. After my 5th time it's still one of my most favorite series to watch. Nothing's perfect but this is one of the closet stories I've watched that came very close. The struggle of getting a job and feeling useful is real. I guess any cultural has some of the same pitfalls. But it seemed like they did bring up some real issues but essentially swept right pass them and made them seem acceptable. That is probably the largest single flaw to this series. Another company sharing something they should not have is wrong in any culture especially after that character already had issues with putting time in for a job. Another problem is making someone the scapegoat and lying but then basically getting away with it and the people in charge allowing. That should have just as severe consequences as well. Other than this one particular story thread the rest of the story is very well done and is hugely enjoyable. Even though the ending ends up great it seems somewhat tainted because of this minor but big social problem that they put into the story but sort of glossed over it in the end. Then again I get the feeling that it happens every where in the world and not just in Korea.
