One of the dearest dramas to me :)
I really, really liked this drama, and it's one of the best I've ever seen. I started watching it because of Kang Ha-neul and Yim Si-wan, but I found myself falling in love not only with their characters but also with others like Ahn Young-yi and Han Seok-yool.
The friendship between the four main characters—Jang Geu-rae, Jang Baek-gi, Ahn Young-yi, and Han Seok-yool—was one of the most beautiful and wholesome friendships I've ever seen in a series. They didn't become friends right away; it was more of a slow-burn kind of friendship. But once they did, it became such a deep and supportive bond. They didn’t hang out together or go drinking every day, yet their relationship was amazing, filled with mutual support and understanding.
The friendship between Baek-gi and Young-yi was particularly profound. If you've seen the series, you know that Baek-gi was somewhat arrogant, but when it came to Young-yi, it was different. He was so supportive of her, listened to her, and cared for her in his own way. He may not have always expressed it in the best way, but his concern for her was evident, and I found that really beautiful. I think I would have loved to see them go from friends to lovers—I shipped them throughout the entire series! :) Also, I feel there was great chemistry between Kang Ha-neul and Kang So-ra, and I would love to see them together in another drama.
Ahn Young-yi, in my opinion, was one of the strongest female characters I've ever seen in a series—independent, intelligent, kind, and diligent. She stood up against injustice and patriarchy in her workplace, and it never felt cliché.
Seok-yool’s relationships with the other characters, especially Jang Geu-rae, were so deep and meaningful. His scenes were among the most valuable to me. He was one of my favorite characters, always making me smile whenever he appeared. Such a sweet and lovable character!
Jang Geu-rae was kind, hardworking, and clever but struggled to fit into the system because he lacked certain qualifications they deemed necessary. But was it Geu-rae’s problem? Of course not—it was the system’s flaw. To me, Geu-rae was the symbol of perseverance and effort.
And finally, Mr. Oh… the best boss ever. One of those rare, honorable people you’d truly want to work with. I would have loved to work beside someone like him.
This drama tells one of the most beautiful and realistic stories I've ever seen, and I cherished every moment of it. It made me laugh, cry, and feel. I could put myself in the characters' shoes and experience their struggles. The characters felt like real friends, and I will miss them dearly.
I really hope the rumors are true and that we get a second season of Misaeng: Incomplete Life soon!
