Agency

Great K-Drama, for a change starring a FL who is slaying all the men making her way up the ladder in the competitive advertising agency field. The FL,fought her way up all the way from the bottom copywriter to the top CEO beating cheating networking males that wouldn't let he in the good old boys club. She is more cunning and smart in the long run - grew up by herself, basically mostly an orphan who had to fend for herself, she is relentless in finding ways and never giving up. Took off 1 star as they could have developed more of a romance with the guy who showed interest in her a few times which never really materialized although they had great banter.

I really enjoyed this series. Wisdom related for business, PR and other topics. Recommending to friends. Great acting, directing and editing. Fun moments mixed into dramatic themes. I thought some of the "costumes" were not well fitted to lead actress yet overall very nice styling. Lovely production design and sets seemed appropriate to characters and storyline. Engaging characters and nice balance among leads and supporting actors. Good ethical and morale messages. I enjoy Korean drama series. Agency is my fifth, I think, so far. Seoul seems to be a beautiful city with profound and rich settings. Misty and K-2 are other fave series.

K-dramas show the same story, say revenge/ Will They Won't They Romance but in different settings like School, Office, Courts, Police Station etc.

The premise here is an advertisement agency and the protagonist is a single woman probably approaching her 40s. There is unlikely to be a romance as the main lead is a single woman and second lead is married woman. While the main heroine is serious and melancholy, second heroine is the cheerful one.

There are attempts at humour, but they are stale, seen many times on k dramas. So, the environment remains serious or heavy to be exact. Such premise can not be endured for long, it needs to be balanced with either comedy or romance or emotions.

The pilot is just okay but shows potential as the series goes on.

After watching the pilot, have to watch till 3rd episode before recommending it.

This series is simple yet it has creative plots twist. It will keep u on your toes. As a whole series it is just great. The BGM is soo good in this series. The dynamic between characters are beautifully protrayed. The character played their role so beautifully that you will be immersed in the this series. Hands off to the whole cast and crew they have excuted this series really well. The viewers will have a great time watching these episodes. Even for a romcom lover they will like this series. Do give it go you won't be disappointed. This one of the series I really loved after a long time, I Assure you it won't be a waist of time.

Having lived and worked in Korea for 9 years, this series reveals some of the deep and dark secrets within Korean chaebol. Misogyny, autocratic leadership, family intrigues, suppression of talented women in business all come into play. Superbly acted by Na Eun-son and Han Joon Woo, this is the story of two women from opposite ends of society who are pitted against each other in a world of competing unscrupulous men. Plot twists and cliff hangers abound and as viewers, we say, "just one more episode." One can empathize and indeed get emotionally involved with the cast members as the story unfolds.
