A very cool, fun, deep, profound kdrama
So cool. this is a really well done kdrama. I gave it 10/10 so far bc it is not just a fun fluff drama. It really goes deep. It is profound. And it has SOLUTIONS. I am impressed! The acting, the music, the dialogues, his thoughts, the entire script - is just masterful.The 1st ep gave me a solid taste of what it looks like to live in Seoul, where just breathing costs you millions of won... It kinda looks like NYC but with all new amenities. Like, NYC but with subway that looks like airport subways... Wow what a nice looking jail he lives in as a hamster on a wheel...
with a little bit of fat liver, dry eyes, a slipped disc and what else did he say?
THe angel came from Heaven and he ... gave him a lottery ticket... I was rolling with laughter with those scenes omg so funny....
Then the scenes where he imagines his potential lifestyles... OMG so funny! WHen the assistant manager fainted and the BigGuy ducked behind the mannequin, I was laughing so hard, the whole neigbhorhood heard me... Omg when he walked out of the limo , that smug face lmao
How can that guy look so good if he eats 3 BIG fried pieces of bacon and 2 big beers for dinner... ? I was thinking - that was probably for real. His apartment looks like a little luxury one? is that for real too? Offices are for real too... But then - are office interactions scenes real?
I was thinking - wth is this - is this how office ppl interact with each other in Seoul, S. Korea? It looked a little toooo western direct for my preconcieved notions of how Koreans interact, esp scenes of lady boss and her subordinate... looked too much like Miranda from Devil Wears Prada ... - but ... I do not know for sure. SOMEONE TELL US, DO OFFICE PPL REALLY INTERACT LIKE THAT IN SEOUL. S KOREA?
But when he worked it out with the manager, I was like yeah, this is Korea, this kind of stuff would NEVER happen in the West :) in real life or a drama/movie lmao Well maybe it could. But not often at all :)
So to me this drama has all the stuff that mark good kdramas - wicked sophisticated and compassionate humor, profound messages, character work and growth, and community work and growth, and yeah great acting, great dialogues, great script, music and filming/production. It is just ... elegantly sophisticated warm inspirational and educational. As a good kdrama always is :) I am a fan :)
The actors are so fun and their scripts are so profound - the money angel, the "spend the money" angel advisor, another "spend the money" angel advisor - ML was sooo lucky that 3 angels came to help him set the course for his new life... then ... the unruly senior, the two grumpy up bosses, ... and the spice of subordinates, the first mentor, ... the lady who is hitting on ML... It is a whole bunch of really smart people speaking their mind...
And yeah ML actor is absolutely perfect in this role. The drama was made for him :) Bc he is such a quiet polite guy, hearing his thoughts REALLY helps to understand him. And his idea of "angry" is very ... polite :) But the actor acted such a great range of emotions so well. ML really seems like a real person
Wow kdrama :) Let us pray lmao that it keeps to the end
