Now I understand that all dramas need that suspension of disbelief in order to work and in that sense, this did well until it became repetitive to the point where the fast-forward button was the only legitimate option other than dropping completely.
The plot started off kindly but doesn't really do much except serve the main characters goals on silver platters. The theme of working for money and working to survive is ever so prevalent that it becomes tedious and misunderstanding. My only recourse is if you don't like what you do--then quit--find something else. Why be miserable at work and let that follow you home?
It was good to see YSH in the main role as opposed to being the sidekick and he played his character very well. Too well. Jung Ki is very beta. So very beta that I almost dropped this because he was so beta. I understand the contrast dynamic between the two leads but I still hoped that our hero had some standing principle of fighting back and granted it eventually came but for how long did it take? The female characters had no such problems as they were very strong independent women but Jung Ki and even Mr. Park, how they ever went into a cut-throat business world is beyond me.
The best episode of the series was the last one because throughout the entire show they kept teasing this romance arc. The biggest problem being it was too late and so very little as opposed to the chase.
The story could've gone in a multitude of directions but I feel as though they played the safe game. There was one big instance in which I was excepting a divorcee to enter the fold but it never happened and they never explained the situation so to me, it sounds like the writer needed the safe ending.
It's an okay watch but nothing groundbreaking and I wouldn't go outta my way to see it.

The story brings us to a typical workplace office where it’s a dog eat dog kind of world. Ok Da Jung, however, is different. You will hate her first before you will love her. She is honest, fair and fearless. Her goals are clear cut, her vision sees the big picture and the only way to it is through hard work. All these while preserving one’s dignity and pride. Above all, her sense of justice is balanced. I would have loved to see a closure of her relationship with her mom in the end but I suppose I can’t have everything. Nam Jung Gi represents most of us in our workplace and life in general. You need to watch this drama to see how he became a hero, you will be entertained and encouraged at the same time, I promise. My most loved character though is the grandpa, he has the cutest storyline of them all!
Needless to say the actors were all top notch in their game, I disliked no one :). Well...maybe Bo Ra was a bit over the top in one (or two) crying scenes...but I still like her, she is so good with comedic roles. The music was perfect! I felt like dancing each time it comes on, beat and timing were always on cue. I think one would be missing out (a lot) if they decide not to watch this gem of a drama. It truly is sooo good that I caught myself foolishly grinning from ear to ear many many times, I figured that’s the reason why my jaw was a bit sore when the drama ended, lol!
