This is one of the best corporate dramas that I have ever seen. What makes it stand out is that the intensity that comes with the corporate battles is lightened with comedy. Also, it is better because the "good guys" don't always lose and they aren't stupid. There is excellent story and character development. Everything is neatly tied together and wrapped up. I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 for a couple of reasons. I will try to explain this with out giving away anything. One of the characters was fooled when the character should have been too smart for that. He only came to realize the truth when it was almost too late. Also, I had to start this drama 3 times until I could get through the first and second episodes. Honestly, I'm not much into comedy and I thought this drama was going to be stupid. Once I was passed that part, then I was all in. The comedy is actually well done even for some one like me who isn't into it (my favorite genre is melo). Kim Seo Hyung as Secretary Mo is no joke. She excelled in making me hate the character and I appreciate her for it. That laughter is something else. Lee Bum Soo cracked me up as the confident and witty Yoo Bang, I like the fact that he looked for a way to over come through out the drama. I'm told that I should watch Giant next. Jung Gyu Woon had me totally conflicted with his hot/cold character Hang Woo from beginning to end. Do I hate him? Do I love him? I still don't know. Why isn't Jung Ryeo Won in more dramas? I totally fell for her as Yeo Chi. I hope to see her more. Hong Soo Hyun was fun as the smart and beautiful Woo Hee. I really liked the strong female characters. All of the other actors were good also. The music is excellent. This is probably something I will rewatch someday. I think that this drama can be enjoyed by anyone. I highly recommend it.
