It was a good story about resilience and entrepreneurship. I really like office dramas like Misaeng and The Art of Negotiation. But there were some parts where it's kind of hard to watch because it just became a series of unfortunate events. And the times where I just wanted a resolution of the issue at hand, some romantic scenes are thrown in the middle which I kinda had to fast forward. I think some were not necessary in some parts of the story. ✌️😅 I was kinda hoping the final product he had to sell was his flowers but then he hinted already that his people were his flowers so I was okay with it. I love the story's messaging about people being more important than results. If you take care of your people, your people will take care of your business.
Oh and I love their OSTs. Bummer they didn't release that song in the train scene and the casette Miseon was playing.
The Kakero Club concept was actually pretty interesting. It could have been as stellar as Squid Game if it had better production, maybe. I would have liked to see different gambling tricks getting exposed in different episodes. The acting and wigs could be better. This reminded me of Liar Game and I really loved that series. It started as light with a bit of violence in the end showing how dangerous the Kakero Club could be. I felt really bad for Sakuni's character. But I like the chemistry of the Baku-Kaji team.
What can I say, this series is a masterpiece. Easily one of my top 2025 K-Dramas. At first, I was curious how the OG ML's chemistry with Yoona would be, but as the episodes went on, I was more and more drawn with Lee Chaemin's portrayal of the king. I found myself giggling in a lot of romantic episodes where I would be cringing in other dramas. The chemistry was just ✨wow✨. The OST also adds a wonderful layer in the scenes. And the food/cooking sequences? Immaculate. I enjoyed this after watching 'Tastefully Yours' and 'Mr. Queen'.
It was a cute and simple story. It made me feel nostalgic about my youth in the 90s. I love how supportive her friends are of her, just like my high school friends were before. Oh to be young and carefree. Eun Soo seems to fit these kinds of 90s stories, like in Twinkling Watermelon. I love her chemistry with the ML too. Gong Yoo's cameo was also a surprise.
Wow, I didn't expect this to join my top 2025 K-Dramas.I thought it was just a chill comedy story but why did I cry in almost all episodes 🤧Corruption even in private companies and businesses is very dangerous, especially when a lot of labor laws are blatantly overlooked in the name of "cost-cutting".The fact that some episodes were based on true stories makes the whole thing even sadder.Everyone deserves a safe and healthy working environment.This is probably my first K-Drama where I recognized almost all cast from somewhere. Star-studded cameos! Love the OST also.
Completely agree that this captures burnout from work well..her reaction could have been of someone in a toxic…
I totally agree. I feel like this should be watched when you've been in that kind of situation in adulting, in order to fully appreciate it. Lucky are those who haven't been through it hehe.
The silent, unseen pains, and struggles of adulting and corporate life, were delicately captured here. I felt so seen, with all my struggles and pain I couldn't tell with anyone. First few episodes and the ending made me cry. I just wished there was a portrayal of hope at the end that they made it even without a man. Not everyone gets to have a strawberry farm handed to them after resignation or a boyfriend to support you while you're falling apart. Sometimes you're on your own. I wish there was more portrayal on that towards the end. But it was still an overall good drama. Misaeng is still my benchmark for this kind of stories. Love the OST too.
Great acting from all the characters. Love the story-building. But I felt like the pacing was off. Some scenes were a bit repetitive at the start and the discovery of the main mysteries were rushed at the end and spoonfed to the viewers. But the story was really engrossing. I would love to see a season 2. Good dynamics between Ena, Hansaem, and Seongju.
Aaaah it's so good! Reminds me of how I felt with Misaeng. This has a stellar cast and the series has realistic pacing. I wish they announce a season 2.
At first, I got scared because I thought it was going to be like The Conjuring, but then it became confusing—I…
I also didn't understand why the Chinese restaurant owner died, if he was already leading ghosts to the shop. Or was he like the detective with special sight?
Oh and I love their OSTs. Bummer they didn't release that song in the train scene and the casette Miseon was playing.
