Exciting to Work (2020)

"Breathtaking and Thrilling"

I don't know what this other reviewer was watching but my heart was going *thump thump* . But also I had 0 expectations going into it. I just happened to click on the link without knowing anything. It was perfect for the mood I'm in which is simple and cute but was a nice change from the usual high school web dramas, less cute & more sensual.

It was like a combination of Romance is a Bonus Book & Misaeng squished into 1 hour and 15mins. The best of both worlds. It could have had more of a plot, because the link I clicked was all in Korean I spent 20mins wondering if I missed the first episode, but then it flashed back. The plot's not explicitly set out but it's easy to fill in the gaps. I prefer how rather than bothering wasting time explaining the plot they instead used the time to make it interesting and different (Misaeng-like).

I loved the main 2 characters the most, they were not 2D characters at all and (partly due to time constraints I'm sure) that's what I usually expect out of web dramas, even movies. They had so much realistic depth squeezed into 1 hour. The time jumps weren't specified but you can feel the differences in how they act between who they were with, their environment and what's their relationship. I was impressed. Nothing felt too rushed or too slow. I'm also loving how they switched it up and made the male boss the quiet and reserved one while the female lead was playing this quiet junior at work but shows glimpses of being the dominating one in their childhood friendship.

I really like the main actor, his voice has such a nice tone. He really reminds me of Kim Young-dae crossed with Baekhyun (EXO)/Minhyuk (BtoB). I can't figure out who he is.

Super good, super sweet and easy to watch if you're in the mood for a lovely romance movie.
