I was really looking forward to this drama as the cast is stellar. The synopsis sounds delicious as well. After watching the first 2 eps, I'm lost for words.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is a bad show. There are fine performances from our leads. It is just my feeble mind kept thinking this can't be it. There has to be more. The plot just seems so banal. I hope it is the longest setup.

I have watched excellent office comedies like Gaus Electronics. They are clever and cutting. This is not it . . at least not yet. There are funny moments, but they are low brow and cliché. Consider I just finished The Art of Sarah, my mind is doing somersaults!

Sure, I appreciate their comedic timings, but this is not how I envisioned a show lead by this stellar ensemble would go down. It would be like hiring Shakespeare to write jingles. There are hints that the writer-nim has bigger plans though.

I hope the FL is playing the long game. Behind the bitchy boss exterior, she is all seeing and insightful. Why was she sent overseas? Maybe she recognises the ML as the best auditor, but he needs tempering so the FL drops him back to earth with extreme prejudice.

We also have the tropey chaebol secession bum fight. Even the hapless Team 3 looks like the cliché "underdog comes good" in the making.

All the ingredients are there for a top show. I just don't know when will the writer-nim bring on the real A-plot. I'm hanging in there because I have faith in our leads, but it is getting harder and harder.

As such, my current rating is based on what I have watched so far and is highly subjective. I will gladly eat humble pie when the show changes my mind.

Think of this missive as an invocation to the drama gods. I beseech thee, deliver us!
