This drama seriously reminds me of Misaeng. The overall premise is the struggles of different office workers. There is also this at first misunderstood team chief (head judge of their department) who has tough time feeding and worrying about his family bc his character doesn't allow him to be promoted. He always scolds his hoobaes which gives him the image that he doesn't care, but he does a lot. The girl is a little different bc in this drama she is very confident from the start on, but both female characters have to fight female descrimination. Myung Soos character eventhough youd think he is the opposite of Ge Rae, still resembles him very much. Other judges don't like him and he continuously searches for the best way, the most right way while questioning his own thinking too. There is also this co worker who is all fun and socialable and you think he has no problems in life when in reality he struggles too but always works hard to lift up the mood of the group.

they're both about life and the lessons we learn from it. It's relaxed but tense and while one takes place in a 90's high school and the other a modern workplace, they both make you feel emotional with the experiences of the characters. Misaeng is a little tenser since the adults' cut-throat world is harsher than that of the students' but you feel connected and moved by their stories nonetheless.
If you enjoy very well done, slice-of-life dramas, you will enjoy them both.

Both dramas have characters with great chemistry and detailed personalities. But more importantly, they both teach us valuable lessons that can actually be applied in real life. Both dramas are also centered around the workplace. In Misaeng, it is a trade company, while in Romantic Doctor Kim it is in the hospital.
