Drama Stage Season 1: Chief B and the Love Letter (2017)

A story about romance which isn't about romance.

I was quite excited to watch this short story because of the man actress, but while I expected romance, I got way more?

The story is quite simple: manager Bang receive anonymous love letters, and thinks the sender might be one of her colleagues at work.
Quickly, there's a lot of potential suspects, and even though the story might seem predictable at some points, what can I say except "wow"?

If you're looking for romance, this might be the story for you. But not exactly for the reasons you might think about: the female lead doesn't end with anyone... Or really?

I thought I was in for a classical age gap romance, or even an office romance, but what I felt after finishing that story is so much more than just being happy with the flow of the story.

It's the kind of stories where the female leads cruelly lacks of self esteem, and if yourself you're in that situation, the special episode might cheer you up and raises your own self esteem. At least, that's what I felt at the end of the story. Although the romance part ended on a bitter note, the female lead regained trust in herself, thus growing for the long term, and eventually being open-minded for the true romance to come.

It's not something you might want to re-watch, but it's certainly a great one in a while watch to cheer you up, and make you realize that sometimes, you just have to put more trust and onfidence in yourself for good things to happen...
