Un negocio virtuoso

This is an easy to watch kdrama about 4 women in a small town seeking ways to survive but more importantly how to be themselves and be free of the typical stereotypes that society wants them to be. This is nothing new but the serie does it really well in my opinion.

The characters in the serie are to me really interesting. You see how they grow and bloom. Also the combination of the different characters of the 4 women works really well.

I have literally both laughed and cried in sometimes even the same episode.

I do think it could have been more risqué, that would have made it more unique now it was still really decent.

I so wanted to like this show, but after 4 episodes the whole thing imploded. The 'naughty' business of selling sex toys is nowhere naughty, nor are the characters. Which are not well-developed and sometimes just dropped halfway through the show (like the unfaithful husband and his lover).

Whereas I loved Kim So-yeon in Sky Castle, she is acting like a robot in this series. Her facial features are frozen (too much Botox, my dear?) and she plays such a demure and subservient character that she ends up being as interesting as an empty sheet of paper.

Whereas the story is supposedly about the growth and characters of the 4 leading female actors, it feels like domestic bliss and traditional role division is more important. It could have been written in 1992 as well!

Korean Drama '' A Virtuous Business '' is a business drama about female friendship and endurance.

The drama has a band of interesting characters that have nice chemistry between them, and their friendship bonds were the highlight of the drama, rather than the romance, which was okay but was left half-baked in the end. The family drama was enjoyable as well and gave some sweet and emotional moments to the plot.

In addition, the theme was original but well handled. The performances were all great as well, by everyone in the cast.

Finally, the settings, costumes, and makeup were all spot on for the time period in which the drama was taking place.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and I love how it spoke of a story of resilience and female empowerment. It was also hilarious and a really light watch.

All the women in the show had their own story that was very interesting to watch, and looking at how all of them overcame adversity was also something that really inspired me on my own journey. I think there really needs to be more of this type of shows!

I would recommend this to anyone who's just looking for a light drama to watch, or someone who's really down and in need of encouragement!

Way to go, production team of the virtuous business!

Just four ordinary women with real-word problems! The concept of woman selling lingerie in a small town in the 90s is one of the best ideas ever...so unique! The seeming of lingerie isn't always a focal point of each episode; however, I like that the writers focuses on the everyday ups and downs of these woman. I enjoy watching the relationships and friendships in the drama blossom.

I feel that the characters are relatable and their problems are ones that many viewers can connect with. The group of women with their diverse backgrounds bring so much to look forward to.

It's a perfect k-drama for ladies who don't want the typical love story and who want something not so cliche. The ML is amazing to watch and brings his own dilemma to the already well-written drama.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get angry, you'll be surprised and you'll want more!
