I liked Lee Dong Gun a lot as the sensible husband in one of the underrated but really good rom-coms Sweet 18 which starred Han Ji Hye opposite him. That made me excited for his comeback project Mi Rae’s Choice (2013) but I ended up dropping it, which turned out to be a great decision as the show left everyone angry and frustrated after its run. It was also sad for the cast as the show received very low ratings.

What do you expect and want from a K-drama in general? A swoony romance, a lovely couple that makes you giddy, or maybe some makjang and some melo. I was surprised to love Misaeng in spite of the fact that it is as far from these elements as possible. Set in a workplace and taking a story of salarymen, it is a heart warming ode to the common man who struggles each day to support his family and himself. Continue reading
