The story delves into the complexities of social anxiety, personal growth, and the power of understanding between humans. The series centres around Eun Hwan-ki, the CEO of a public relations company who is so introverted that he becomes a mystery to his employees. His world begins to shift when Chae Ro-woon joins the company with a hidden agenda related to her sister's past.​ One of the things that really stood out for me personally was the aspects of the series when it explores the struggles of social anxiety through Hwan-ki's character while also having the ability to blend lighthearted moments with the profound challenges of social anxiety that Hwan-ki faces. His journey from a reclusive leader to someone who starts to open up is portrayed with sensitivity and depth, which resonates with the viewer. The show doesn't shy away from depicting the challenges faced by individuals with social anxiety, making Hwan-ki's growth feel authentic and relatable. This also made me feel so much more empathy for some of the characters in the show while on the other hand making me annoyed at the characters who tried to stop the growth from happening. The show is warmhearted and a good watch for if you want to watch an office romance where the characters feel like one big family. Namely, the Silent Monster team, as it evolves from a group of quirky colleagues into a warm, supportive family that plays a pivotal role in the emotional heart of the series. Generally, I think the writers managed to portray the themes in a great way.
