A nice, thorough introduction to the drama. I'm not caught up yet but I am planning on finishing it. It's strange. It seems so ordinary. But it definitely is that universal relatability that makes this drama so lovely. It's like as you experience the ups and downs along with them, it brings you courage.
And I really like the Section Chief character. Well both superiors, really. But particularly Section Chief Oh. He looks like he needs a nice rest.
Superb review for a superb drama. Thank you so much for writing this. BTW, agree with you on Assistant Manager Kim. You think you can't like him more, and then you see the assistant managers from other teams, and you realize just how amazing he is as a superior.
My boyfriend is from Korea and actually recommended this drama to me saying it portrays exactly what his work life was like when he lived there. Like the article says though, anyone can really relate to what happens in this show. I'm so glad to see such a well written article on it. Great job!
Wonderful. If I weren't already watching and madly madly in love with this show, I would start now. If YOU aren't watching START NOW!
Every moment I am watching this show I feel my insides are ready to burst. So much frustration, so many roadblocks put in the way of our heroes....I want to leap into the screen and punch our 'bad guys'. Yet, in each program I am so proud of how each of them in their own way continue their struggle to succeed. And how, even under the horrid weight of all the bigotry and put downs, their own sense of inadequacy, the continual realization that they are trapped in a life in a cube struggling against all odds for survival, there are still those small successes that give our heroes, and us, those few shining moments telling us that all is not lost and that through their own efforts and strengths, they can and will succeed. It's not a superhero show, but it is full of everyday lives of everyday people who survive by their own heroic efforts. It's a show we can all empathize with because virtually every one of us has experienced their own versions of it.
Also, every moment I am watching this show I continue to marvel that I am so passionately involved in the lives of these young people. This is a show set in an office environment, filled with dialogue about office procedures, and rarely leaves the confines of the office walls. Yet, each week, I am totally glued to my screen watching these 'Everyday Lives' being lived. It is a testament to the original material, the screenwriter, the director, and the marvelous actors in this that this show can achieve this kind of devotion. I am so happy to hear that it is getting great ratings and continues to climb in popularity every week.
Again...wonderful review! I hope many people give this show a chance and find themselves amazed also at how watching everyday people live everyday lives can be as thrilling and fulfilling to watch as any superhero blockbuster, or a melodrama!
Girl you hit it right on the nose, When I first started watching it I wasn't sure the story was going to be good but as I progressed into it everything you wrote here is politically correct and so so awesome, Reminds me of times when i was working.. Great article 10 out of 10
I am so happy I read this article!!! x333 Thank you! ＾＾
I've never watched any K-drama before simply because I love the Japanese language!! T~T I can't help it!! Dx<
But the plot of Bad Guys is so amazing!!! It actually reminds me of one Bulgarian drama and that got me even more interested! :D Plus the team is just irresistible!!! (//з//)
