Loved brewed in the office
The drama centers around a young CEO, Veekij Kraiphiwat who has prosopagnosia and cannot differentiate between faces. He relies on name tags to distinguish between his employees at work. He then decides to hire a secretary to help him connect with the world and that's Mirin Neeraumphan Phaisanphi.
The plot isn't extraordinary but the drama started out well. Although it was short, the story captured the circumstance that led to Veekij's face blindness; separation from his mother.
One amusing and exciting scene was Veekij's first encounter with Mirin. Their bickering was funny but cute. An interviewee exchanging words with her potential boss? We don't get to see that everyday.
One likeable thing about this drama is how events unfold. Everything is straight to the point and the story is not dragged on. The drama also made use of non-linear narrative; events in the drama go back and forth between past and present, making it easy for audience to discover crucial information when necessary.
My only pet peeve is that the plot was too formulaic and predicable.There was no new twist or dynamic to this office romance drama. Everything was expected, nothing surprised or caught me off guard. Veekij's interest in Mirin, Chanon's alliance with Tanya etc was way too obvious. Everything unfolded like dramas we've seen before. It felt as though the story wasn't given enough detail and that was disappointing. For a 14 episode drama, it would have been so much better if certain things were added to beef up the drama.
Nonetheless, it was entertaining and interesting to some extent and if you're a fan of office romance dramas, I recommend you watch it.
