I am really enjoying this drama so far and I like the quiet strength the FL carries herself with. She reminds…
Minglan is my most rewatched drama (like 10+ times easily by now). I'm happy to see something similar coming out especially in current market trend. I'm enjoying this a lot so far.
I think I found the short story it might be based on 👀 The writer, Kyung Min-sun, wrote a horror short story…
A girl named Byeon Jeong-hee takes a night-shift job at a convenience store because the pay is ridiculously high. The store is known as a haunted place, and before starting work, she’s given a list of strange rules by the manager she has to follow.
For example, if the automatic doors open by themselves at 2 a.m., she’s not supposed to panic even if nobody is there. If something that isn’t human comes into the area behind the counter, she has to use the weapons kept in the store to drive it away. Never look at the windows or mirrors in the bathroom. If no customer comes for more than 40 minutes, she has to leave the store because it's an emergency. Basically, she has to follow all these weird rules if she wants to survive the night.
After dealing with non-human entities one after another, Jeong-hee catches her breath upon meeting a fellow part-timer, but the life-or-death battle over the hidden operating principles begins only then.
The interesting part is that she doesn’t just quit because she needs the money. The story uses the horror to show how desperate people can become when they need a job badly enough to accept dangerous working conditions.
Why are romcom lovers pissing on MIK in the comment section here😒. The love of Oppas can’t make you intelligent for sure. If your oppa has decided to star in a historical/period fiction piece and it’s indigestible to your sensibilities, don’t watch it. Wait for Oppa to get cast in a romcom to play a green flag who lets an aegyo-ing insufferable botoxed to the high heavens middle aged female lead troll the guy for 16 episodes. Wait for Oppa to come back to the genre.
Don’t come here and be a pissy 12 year old just cos the darkness of the source material for this story is making you uncomfortable. Jesus! MDL crowd can be a little juvenile in their lack of understanding of genres. I mean feel free to hate watch. But be a little intelligent about it. This show is not for intellectually juvenile or pop culture guzzling folks. It can’t be dumbed down for your sensibilities. History is dark. It’s not gonna suddenly give you a “black and white, saviour saves the day and bad guys loose, cos ironman showed up and justice was served” narrative. Some stories will supply that moral ease of good winning over evil. Some won’t. MIK is not trying to show good vs. evil. The underlying theme is motivations of humans who vie for nothing but unbridled power. And how power is the only currency. That’s the writer’s and show creator’s choice. Life on earth has never worked in a straight forward black and white way. Since the beginning of time. Otherwise Adam and Eve mythology would have just ended on them getting banished from the heavens.
I'm living the same situation I my job and I'm thinking about quitting
Make sure you have another job lined up first. Job market is too rough right now to chance it after you quit. I'm sure you're already aware tho. Anyway, wish you luck.
She's talented, I wonder why she's not bagging more Main lead roles. I've watched almost all of her works and she's just really good at portraying psycho characters, she gives the right kind of eerie vibe. Love her! I want to see more projects of her, less psycho I guess lol I think she'll also do good in a Romcom drama, I've seen her do variety shows and she had that humour.
idk if you placed it in a standard savings account so like 4/5% interest that’d be like 40k a year which is…
Buying a house/condo and renting seems the best. If you can buy a building for 3bil won, then you can buy a condo for 1.3bil and then milk monthly income
There is a book Your Money or Your Life by ... a guy and Vicky Dominigues, I think that talks how to invest and retire
Good grief, 1.3 billion Won is roughly one million Dollars which definitely is not enough to quit your job and…
it could be if you invest. Buying a house/condo and renting seems the best. If you can buy a building for 3bil won, then you can buy a condo for 1.3bil and then milk monthly income

Whenever I see this kind of press releases, where they have the leads hold up signs about the drama or movie they're promoting, I get this immediate impression of them being photographed for jail booking, LOL.

idk if you placed it in a standard savings account so like 4/5% interest that’d be like 40k a year which is probably a decent salary in Korea. you could also move to a cheaper place too. but it’s definitely better to work some more especially with inflation.
Good grief, 1.3 billion Won is roughly one million Dollars which definitely is not enough to quit your job and…
also take in consideration that 1.3 billion won/1 million USD has a lot more purchasing power in Korea than in the US! So def still not enough to retire in peace but still a much bigger deal imo
Love and support to her always! She can act, she can make you cry and laugh. Amazing actress who was treated horribly. Hope she can make her own choices now.
