My recommendation is to watch episodes in following sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6,34,35,36,37,38,39,40 The other episode just repeating stupid characters Jinsang, Hwasang and no-brainer-idiotic-angel PooSang. In the mid episode there is no worthy story and plot line. Except for WeSang's love story. I
To make it clear, The ending is not a cliffhanger. It has a full closure of the story. The final twist is a preview for season two like when you watch Marvell's ironman and a preview for Avenger; but it is okay without season 2. The fun begin at mid episode 2. Please be patient on episode 1 or you can fast forward near to the end. I notice some unnecessary scenes there with expensive CGI. They should allocate the CGI budget to the final episode!
What is wrong with current average rate 7.9? It deserves minimum 9! Come on guys, this show easily 2021's top 3 for all categories. Top 1 for sci-fi. Top 3 for thriller.
This Show is not Bad, But Better than Misaeng never..
I must disagree. It's a tie, but if we have to pick a winner, On the Verge of Insanity (OTVOI) is my choice. OTVOI is extremely realistic when it comes to office conversations, technical terms, meeting situations, and so on. I can provide numerous examples of how they use minutes meetings, programming languages, product life cycles, AI, Mary oops MaRe, and other technologies.
Misaeng, on the other hand, is an overly generic office term. Although the setting is in the Sales department, they could bring the same level of sales technical terms to make it more realistic.
Disclaimer I work as a coder/programmer , so maybe this is one of the factor i choose OTVOI
Misaeng's difficulties are more general and recurring; they do not raise the stakes. The enemy level remains the same, as does the problem with a coworker, a senior, a manager, and a customer. OTVOI, in addition to what Misaeng had, has a wider range of office issues, both horizontally and vertically. Technical error, vendor issue, customer issue, manager, coworker, layoff, betrayal, department transfer, hardware failure, QA, sexual harrassment are all part of the problem.
Finally, character development is more visible on OTVOI.
I personally felt this was believable and not out of character at all. As was mentioned a few times; Dali, despite…
Yes, my only criticism is that the author only employs her endearing characters in a few episodes. The character is distinct and memorable, making it stand out from the crowd (I've seen a lot of romcom dramas with similar plots and characters, and some of them are memorable). After a few bleak episodes, I believe there should be a way to reconnect with the characters. It is a shame.
please check my reply below. It is not spoiler just to answer yes or no. But sometime people consider answer to…
@haitakaz sorry to hear that. I marked as spoiler but my reply got duplicated and the other not marked as spoiler. Maybe it's a bug. I have deleted the open comment.
it has beaten Misaeng by a small margin. Both drama is very realistic but On The Verge of Insanity bring very good character development. And I like the drama is staging challenges difficulties of the main character with increasing levels of difficulty. Imagine your are playing RPG game to clear a dungeon and kill the boss monster when you need to level up. In this case, the dungeon is an office environment and the monster are nasty and dirty managers and bosses who play office politics. A group of adventurers works together to clear each level, and through trial and error, they build unbreakable bonds to move forward.
my 3rd place drama of the year after Navillera and Hospital Playlist 2! It has an amazing story, character, and directing. I love its cohesive dark cinematography too.
I Love It! We, An Soo He, Han Ji Yeon, and Jeng Eun Ji take you, So Ju , to be my husband, and I do promise and covenant, before God and these witnesses, to be your loving and faithful wife in plenty and in want, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, as long as we shall live.
After the holy matrimony, they drink Soju and eat paring food every day after returning from work and live happily ever after.
I'd say it's worth a shot! If you want to experience your first Makjang drama without spending 100 hours, this is the one to watch!
It is a makjang drama that has been simplified (usually above 100 episodes). Amnesia, twin / switched at birth, chaebol, corruption, father's company taken over by uncle, revenge, cruel mother-in-law, super-villain-chaebol who kills anyone for greed, and many more are among the themes explored.
If I'm bored with a new modern kdrama, I'll watch this classic kdrama, also known as a soap opera. You kind of know how the plot will end, and you can either try to guess who the main villain is or just enjoy the cheesy parts:)
Character On episode 1, Da Li appears to be a promising young genius art curator. However, the writer decided to change her charming character to a normal female who relies on the male lead for assistance on a regular basis. Moo Hak is a typical male heroine in the kdrama universe; I have neither a complaint nor a compliment for him.
The first episode sets the tone for the series (I can relate to Vincenzo's first episode setting), and the second episode drastically changes to the kdrama plot you're used to. It's not bad, but it's also not noteworthy.
Fans, please accept our apologies for our disagreement on this drama's rating. It gets a 5 out of 10 from me. For me, everything from the story to the acting, editing, and production is a miss.
It is an indigenous story, though it could be argued that it is a Goblin's spin-off. However, the story telling is extremely unpleasant. It doesn't grow on me, nor does it pique my interest. The absence of extraordinary characters also drives the drama away from the romantic comedy genre. To make a good romcom K-drama, you must have an eye-catch or heart-throbbing role.
it is perhaps my destiny that tomorrow I won't remember Go Chae Kyung in "Scripting Your Destiny"
