All about delicacy, strength, integrity, helplessness, and
intelligence. Misaeng (Incomplete Life) probably will be the most relatable
drama, ever. I think it has the simpliest plot K-Drama: Ordinary salary men and
their daily life in office.
I was watching with tears welling in my eyes, or with the
hugest grin on my face. Even when the smallest good thing happens, I find
myself fist-pumping for the characters. And I can already sense that Misaeng is
one of my K-Drama favorite of all-time. After Bridal Mask, of course.
And it is probably not everyone’s cup of tea. The muted tone
and full of hero’s narration. Even though, the hero was an emotionless and expressionless
zombie and he’s underdog of underdog, we just want him to succeed. He’s like an
onion, makes us cannot stop crying.
The Hero is the shortest guy, slight, not masculine looking,
but it’s which make him living. He isn’t given “expressive” facial expression,
but the barest flicker on his face makes him come alive instead of being wooden
like he would be in the hands of a less capable actor. His expressionless is
the most living and breathing. It fits with the gloomy story.
And it’s relatable with my future as a HRD person, I want
that kind of personality, who is dedicated to working hard, because that’s who
I want to be as my associates.
Really, I watched it multiple times and haven’t get enough
yet. It has a movie feel to it. Slow, but not boring at all. Don’t know what
this drama has done to me, but I found my taste going higher as it goes.
