finally watched misaeng after 11 years
i started misaeng 11 years after its release, mostly because i got curious about kang haneul and yim siwan after their recognition in squid game. i didn’t expect it to hit me this hard. it’s the kind of drama that feels timeless, like it could come out today and still feel just as relevant.
the pacing is perfect. every episode takes its time, letting you sit with the characters and their struggles. i feel like this isn’t the type of drama you binge. it’s better enjoyed slowly, letting every moment sit with you. the office politics were harsh but it shows how exhausting and sometimes unfair that environment can be. every move feels heavy, but what really stood out to me were the family moments. those scenes that remind you these characters are more than just workers. those parts added so much warmth and balance to the stressful environment of the office.
watching oh sang-shik gradually open up to jang geu-rae was one of my favourite parts. their relationship grew so beautifully. from distance to genuine warmth and trust, it made me cry more than once. sales team three as a whole felt so alive and memorable. every character was written with such care that i couldn’t help but grow attached to them. their bond was natural and every scene with them felt like cheering on my own little family.
the characters are so lively and well written that none of them felt wasted. everyone had their own struggles and little victories, and that made the whole story feel grounded in reality. i’m glad i watched it now, because i don’t think it’s the kind of story you just forget once you’ve seen it. i would honestly do anything to experience misaeng for the first time again.
