Naz May 09 2021 6:16 am Refreshing! Nothing ever dragged on, no makjang bs, and some relevant corporate themes plus sincerity. Don't expect romance to be the primary focus, and ignore the comments about temper/yelling (not much of that at all). Seriously underrated drama. The comedy is a huge plus!

Pacoon Apr 30 2021 12:53 am I couldn't finish it. I leave the drama in episode 14. I can't take so much screaming, I only see mouths that open and close and a lot of screaming. I thought it was a romantic comedy but the only lover is a child.

Pacoon Apr 21 2021 2:15 am If you liked the movie Black Hawk Down, you will like this drama. The story is good, but some characters just scream. I have just finished watching episode 12 and it is very difficult to continue. First I have to see my psychologist to prescribe something for my nerves.

"Nam Jung-Gi has a timid and nice personality but he yells. He can't say anything that makes others uncomfortable but he yells. He is able to make Ok Da-Jung's blood boil, even though he never yells at her".

Ra Therm May 11 2020 8:39 pm Which actor played MD Seo?

Kenzo May 05 2019 10:06 am Just finished watching this series on Netflix.

In one sentence: This is one of the best Kdramas I've watched.

Wonder why this drama did not get popular in 2016, or maybe it did and it just me who missed it.

At the first 15 minutes of the first episode, I wrongly judged that I would not watched this drama more than half episode. But I was wrong, after the first 30 minutes, it is very engaging.

This problems presented in this drama is nothing extravagant. They are so basics. But they covers basic questions that haunt people's mind everyday, especially those who work in corporate life.

Also, the casts are perfect.

Very recommended.

digz Mar 10 2019 12:34 pm i really want this story, it applies in real life.

Kdrama ahjumma Sep 02 2018 5:36 pm This was a good watch! Realistic story of businesses and people with power. Love the lead actors! Nice story, funny drama, great ending! You will not regret watching this show.

David Nov 04 2017 11:57 am Really glad I stumbled onto this show on Netflix. It's a great feel-good romantic comedy workplace drama with a fast paced storyline and interesting characters. Ms. Temper is especially stunning and not to mention her outfits are HOT!!

Arihant Nov 01 2017 8:52 am This is my latest crack-watching this on Netflix and have completed 6 eps.I found this show deeply insightful about real life problems faced by workers and the characters feel real.Lee yo Won is superb and the show rides on her strong character with the rest of the cast admiring/hating her in equal measures.

You will think about this show long after each episode -it is that good!

Rhyss ikram Sep 19 2017 6:35 pm I like this drama- it gives you the feel good-warm feeling. Nice, simple & easy going & yet it delves on simple genuine life issues. Down to earth story.! Lyw is simply amazing... tq for producing this drama

jeanne lawagan Apr 05 2017 2:09 am i really really like the dramas of lee yo won.ms.temeper is a nice drama.

anemicrainbow Mar 03 2017 5:20 am Just finished this drama last night. Yay! What a nice story. I like that it wasn't the typical romantic-comedy between two people; in fact, the romance arc was rarely touched in the series (I won't spoil it for the others!).

YSH, though not the best actor, was an effective comedian here. We were always laughing at his facial expressions and how his exaggerations worked well in the scenes. I just wish that Nam Jung-gi had more redemption towards the end - like, some sort of improvement, since in the pilot episode it was implied that his character is a dilemma.

This was my first time to watch LYW, and she easily became my favorite after this drama. I'm just really drawn to female characters like Ok Da-jung (which Kdramas always label as 'witches'), so I was glad LYW was able to portray her very well.

I also commend the casting choices for this drama, I felt that every actor fit into their characters perfectly. Special mention to KSY who portrayed Deputy Han - I was touched by her plight as a working mom; and to SJH who played one of Ok Da-jung's ex-husbands, if he only had more exposure in the series I'm sure we will see more depth in Ji Yoon-ho's character.

This is a good drama; maybe not that great, but one of (if not the only) the most well-written series that I have watched (I'm not speaking for everybody). I didn't feel that the ending was rushed, and the story was paced just right, and it wasn't trying too hard with the love arcs. I would highly recommend! :-)

Max Dean Feb 08 2017 10:01 am I hope there's season 2 that show be nam jung gi's ex-wife appearance in this drama. It will be fun to watch Ms. Temper jealousy character.

Amber KMJ Jan 25 2017 1:50 pm haha so cute, yoon sang hyun's wife cameo'd in this XD

Cc Jan 06 2017 6:45 pm Grrr i cant watch this bcause of yoon sang-hyun. His acting sucks as well as his facial expressions grrrr. He better stay being singer

lrt Dec 17 2016 5:00 am Really..really super sweet. My favorite theme was the love story between Nam Woo-Joo and Ms Temper.

Bexy Nov 05 2016 9:28 am Love, love, love this serie. Highly recommended. It would be a great candidate for a second season, not because is an incomplete drama, but because it has a lot of material for new episodes.

SPOILER If i had to split hairs, i would have liked to see Bong Gi end up with Emily not with Mi Ri (i prefer her with Hyun Woo)

nicee Aug 15 2016 11:12 pm this show is damn great and hilarious. it got many moral lesson about life. i love it

funnchi Jul 27 2016 8:58 am This drama is very amazing. its like eat something that the more you eat the more you like it. love love love.

TGG Jul 19 2016 9:45 am @wallo nothing against you but dumb people will not know the value of this drama ... it is about the problems in real life, it has a lot of messages and if you can't see that, then you really are dumb

wallo Jul 12 2016 8:30 am its very boring ! i am just watched first 3 episode so i am asking its will be better or not

Josephine Oey Jul 04 2016 4:21 am Ms. Yo Won is so great in acting and I really love all the natural things about working situation story in this drama. Some people will feel that they have almost the same experience as Nam Jung-GI collegues at work, including me!

Leo Sihura Jun 14 2016 7:08 am I Love Their Acting: Yoon Sang Hyun and Lee Yo Won. . . i hope they can make again in season 2 with the same character. . . . this is the all genre have

Ranz May 31 2016 11:02 pm i love Lee yo-won as Ok Da-Jung , it was really really good Rom-Com drama

Erka May 24 2016 10:25 pm I guess, this drama is so interesting and funny. Other korean dramas has many boring episodes. Their main idea and action are same with other.

shin May 19 2016 3:36 pm Interesting drama...kudos to JTBC

shin May 19 2016 3:27 pm I liked Lee Yo Won the best here. Wow is she smoking hot with her fiery temper

yanyan May 15 2016 12:09 pm love this dramaaa so much, because it is kinda relate to everyday life, and it's very funny, and also have a lot of messages ... love thiss dramaaa!!!

Ain May 12 2016 3:41 am this drama only have a good strory line from ep 1 - 10 after that this drama try to be like Misaeng drama,, after ep 10 really tiring to wacth each episodes and really boring,,

Jessica May 07 2016 8:32 pm Really really good drama. I wish it had a season 2.

EnzoA May 07 2016 7:13 pm A nice drama, filled with positivity and elements of comedy, as well as unexpected realism. The drama doesn't call for any acting virtuosity, but the cast is well assorted and effective, with some pleasant cameos. Recommended.

Mini May 07 2016 3:13 pm Just finished ep 16. I LOVE THIS DRAMA!!!

I love it because it is not the typical drama that we always watch. Though we basically know what will happened next, i love it because the production team willingly to make this kind of drama that revolves around pride in work, a genre which is not that common in kdrama (i didnt say it doesnt have but not common).

I love all the casts especially when something happened and they need to make a surprise/happy/etc faces, all of them exaggerated a bit, that was a point for me!! Hahaha because everytime i watched them make those faces, i burst out :'D

Nice and light-hearted drama ^^, Thank youuuu all the crews!

name May 07 2016 2:45 pm @Jules yeah thanks Plato

Shin Aera May 05 2016 4:46 am I can't believe Ok Da Jeong had three ex husbands and all of beyond high standards..handsome, gorgeous and charismatic.

I wish the lead male actor is Lee Jung-jin

neige May 01 2016 12:06 pm so far love the drama and Ms Temper dresses so classy

watergoggles May 01 2016 5:46 am Have fun watching this drama. Good cast and good acting. Ms Temper has nice dressing style. Ms Temper is beautiful inside and out! :))

polly May 01 2016 2:00 am fun to watch. but does it make sense that ms congeniality actually was in love with three different guys and married three times?

Jules Apr 30 2016 9:42 pm The main plot is about working with pride and there is more valueable than money, similar with The Queen Of Office (remake from Japanese 'Haken No Hikanku'). Too bad, this drama airs in the wrong time. About Mi Ri's character, I think she has strong point with the story. She faces the difficulties as a contract worker and one of important role. I think Ms. Temper & Nam Jung-Gi is a breakthrough from mainstream romcom Kdrama. Every character in this drama is able to find their own goal eventually. Nam Jung Gi grown as mature and brave guy not only timid worker and father. The rest of it find they are changing into tight bond of friendship. And, I believe you are getting smarter after watching this drama, because you are not only seeing in the surface, but beyond of anything shown. But, if you only judge from face and performance, you need to think over to upgrade you mind pattern.

alpha Apr 30 2016 10:14 am interesting drama. slow at first, but then growing more attractive. simple but honest

Mimi Apr 29 2016 6:39 am I like this drama. This is one of the dramas that i never got tired of watching except the actress who played the Jang MiRi character. And I dont understand why they focus more on her character, shes very annoying with her over acting.

Livia Apr 25 2016 7:29 am A very good drama! Was just surprised how good it is. Did not expect it, really. Timing is not very good. Almost together with DOTS, Goodbye Mr Black, Marriage Contract.... wow, was a long time ago that so many very good dramas were running in the same time. It is a pearl, really funny, enjoy almost every scene.

Avely Apr 23 2016 8:16 am Love this drama! Actors are good and the plot is good too! : )

db Apr 22 2016 12:50 pm this is the worst drama i have seen in my life

name Apr 22 2016 12:48 pm @rtsop good moral what the f are you taking about you idiot

rtsop Apr 16 2016 4:42 pm @jazzc, YOU'RE INSIGNIFICANT!!! their story is actually good n gives good moral

jazzc Apr 10 2016 1:45 am good drama but why waste almost a whole half episode on insignificant cast like kwon hyn sang and hwang bora, they are boring to watch.

Kristin Apr 09 2016 8:57 pm I love this show. It is well acted. Each episode gets better and the actors do a great job peeling back the layers of their characters so the viewers get to see them progress from caricatures to people with depth. This is a cable drama and I'm happy to see the ratings climb steadily higher each week.

Jins Apr 08 2016 5:05 am Add Min Do-Hee in the actor cast , she was play with chansung some comic scene

sophiagarcia Apr 03 2016 11:43 pm am on episode 5 and loving it so far. lee yo won is hot and georgeous though already a mother of three. haven't seen her acting this witch-ish and bitch-ish and it suits her.

yowon Mar 26 2016 6:53 pm it is a sign that even they producers know the script and dialogue is a bit dry, when they use those funny visual and sound effects injudiciously in an attempt to liven things up.

yowon Mar 26 2016 6:47 pm first two episodes were great, and of course lee yowon is complete eye candy. but find the dialogue in third episode a bit static, and the characters are bit boring. lyw never breaks from the dry serious character and yoon snag hyun just apologizes for the full hour. the humour was good for a few minutes, but for full hour?? show us more about their interaction away from work, which they may do in the future as they did in the first two episodes, but mix it up in that one hour time slot.

MikeyC Mar 26 2016 1:27 am Ms Temper is so hot. I wish a had a strong woman like that.

ryoonggg Mar 23 2016 4:12 pm Looking forward to this drama...

i miss actor Hwang Chansung, FIGHTING!!!

Miro Mar 21 2016 12:18 pm Lately l have to bad luck my "favorite" actors - Yoon Sang-Hyun- I no was missing at all, and certainly not in the lead role ...

yowon Mar 20 2016 1:39 am and how does lee yowon managed to have 3 children and still look so incredibly like this. thumbs up to all the mothers in the world, but rarely do they look like this even before having a child, let alone three.

yowon Mar 20 2016 1:00 am why cant the big three networks learn to make dramas like this with good scripts and actors instead of always relying on chessy, i mean, melodrama and idols? thumbs up jtbc!

Noonadrama Mar 13 2016 8:29 am Miss yo won eonni so much.. Looking forward to this drama

sophiagarcia Mar 11 2016 8:55 pm wow... lee yo won is back, my favorite queen...

kinggofing Mar 04 2016 2:40 am Yes! yoon sang hyun comeback. I'm a guy but i just love how funny his dramas are.

Kubra Mar 03 2016 5:42 pm I miss Chansung as an actor. I can't wait. Chansung fighting!

mara-jade Feb 24 2016 5:32 am could anyone please change the bgm of the opening crawl in the teaser? because it's just not right

kuntilanak Feb 23 2016 10:01 pm Lee Yo Won my favorites actress is comeback
