Babysitting a Chaebol Was Not in the Job Description
đź“ť Review
(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I’m Not Saving You from Any Emotional Damage)
This was a fun watch, plain and simple.
The chemistry between the leads carried this drama through every SFL/SML moment, and honestly? Worth it. The office politics were exactly what you expect from a chaebol drama—because if there’s power involved, you know some family member is trying to snatch it. This time around, it’s the aunt and cousin. Shocking. Groundbreaking.
Ji Sung absolutely nailed the immaturity. He didn’t just play an emotionally stunted heir—he committed to it. Meanwhile, Kim Jae Joong’s character came in as the cool, calm, collected, effortlessly suave cousin. The contrast worked beautifully and caused just the right amount of jealousy and internal screaming.
Choi Kang Hee did her role justice as well. Her Eun Seol wasn’t a doormat—she was down on her luck, yes, but determined to survive. That “I’ll make it through” energy made her easy to root for.
The father was peak 2000s–2010s K-drama dad: loud, obnoxious, infuriating, and yet somehow entertaining. Standard issue.
And the grandma? A treasure. Kim Young Ok is phenomenal in everything she touches. She’s getting up there in age, and honestly, the day she’s no longer gracing screens is going to hurt. She brings warmth, humor, and gravitas without even trying.
Overall, this drama hits the sweet spot: the right amount of comedy, exaggerated soap-opera flair, jealousy, and dramatics. Nothing too heavy, nothing too bland. It knows what it is and leans into it.
This one is absolutely earning a place on the growing rewatch list.
đź’ Final Mood
“Chaotic, funny, and weirdly comforting.”
