Gaus Electronics (2022)

YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS

(sorry for bad grammar)
even if the show hasnt ended yet its so good if u love cute comedy you should watch this and if ur tired of lame kdrama kisses this will not dissapoint the kissing scene was spicy and enjoyable if glad none of them look akward another the main character na rae may seem annoying in the beginning but her character will grow on u but if u dislike female leads with bad temper this might bring the show down for u. im unsure about the music rating it was good but not very rememberable
(+im aware i spelled stuff wrong pls dont mind it too much)

IF U LIKE SERIOUS DRAMAS THIS IS NOT FOR U
IF U LIKE CUTE COMEDY OFFICE ROMANCE THIS IS FOR U

Slapstick comedy that really slaps

Prior to watching this kdrama, I honestly expected it to be one of those typical slapstick comedies that would be redundant towards the end. Yes, this show is a slap-stick comedy, but redundant it is not.

Gaus Electronics (가우스전자) has the elements of office romance, eccentric characters, name double meanings (which I found really funny and witty), and the nonending chaebol dramedy. What I liked about this show is that it was not shy in portraying parodies, which if not executed properly, would have become boring. One such great example is the parody of the chaebol romance with Kimchi slaps. Just watch the show to get this reference. Basically, the parodies here were very funny.

Although promising, the first 2 episodes weren't quite entertaining. One might be discouraged to finish it, but since it was promising, I gave it a chance. And it really bloomed plot-wise after the dots were finally connected, and I was able to distinguish the characters, their relationships, and dynamics.

Lee Sang-sik (Kwak Dong-yeon) really is the highlight for this story. His clumsiness might get along the way for his team, but also what made me root for him and his story as well. He has the naivety of a child, and the prudence of a working professional together. He just wants to do his job in a high-quality yet nonsensical manner. And the acting was just spot-on. Lee Sang-sik was really written for Kwak Dong-yeon.

The pacing was good too. There wasn't a solid direction that the story wanted to go aside from the main plot, and for this kdrama, it was good since it was able to create a spontaneous and fluid story flow where it just wants to tell the day-to-day lives of the Gaus Electronics Marketing Team 3. The 12-episode run, honestly, was too short for me. But it is because I was beyond entertained for this series.

The post-credit scenes/advertisements were not only delightful but very witty as well. Of course the laughs were already expected, but its wit was just at another level. Very smart addition by the story writers on this series.

What I just didn't liked is the finale episode, since it wanted to compress all the stories and give them all an ending just in 1 episode. It was still funny, up to a point, but it could've been better had it already set the tone of some stories on the previous episode so that the main story be given better closing here. Nevertheless, it was all still good.

Overall, this Kdrama is a great intersection of office life with comedy with a sprinkle of wordplays and romance. But the best thing that has come out from Gaus Electronics is its slapstick comedy that really slaps.

Divertido. Vamos ver como vai continuar!

As atuações estão boas. Tem tudo que não sabia que precisava.
Lembra muito sitcom dos anos 2000. É atual mas algo te remete ao antigo. Talvez o clima do escritório? Não sei.
Ahw, a escolha dos nomes de personagens é um caso a parte.
É bastante engraçado com situações cômicas a beira do absurdo, mesmo assim bem divertido.
Nada de drama ou conflito até agora, na verdade é uma grande farofa. Adoro. E os casais são ótimos em cena.
No final, sempre tem um extra. E também uma propaganda bem duvidosa. Estilo baixo orçamento, total sem noção. So que perfeitas.

Comedy gold!!

I absolutely love this drama. Its just comedy gold and its not tacky or cringy at all. The actors all did really great and Im so happy to see Kwak Dongyeon with a main role. This drama is just so fun to watch from beginning to end and the story is great. The romantic aspects look realistic yet also classic and hilarious at the same time. There are no boring or flat scenes. Lee Sangshik and Cha Na Rae are both hilarious and have great chemistry, not to mention none of the characters annoy me. Definitely a 10/10 from me.
The music is also great, This show manages to mock all Kdrama cliches and stereotypes and they know exactly where to put comedy. The word plays are really well done and so are all the funny scenes. It's seriously the best RomCom in the world.
Very fun to watch

watched weekly as it came out (starting from ep 4)

WOW!! did not expect to grow very fond of this drama but i did and im glad i watched because it was refreshing to see an ongoing drama this year and was not very depressing lmao it was the opposite and very funny! anyone who dropped from the first ep or the second should try and pick it back up again because it REALLY does progress much better and i think they combine the comedy and romance genre with the office setting nicely. the friendships and relationships in the drama are addictive and i think all characters were written good aswell! the only thing is i did not understand some of the plotlines BUT nevertheless i did mostly watch for the characters lol. an easy watch and short sadly! i will miss it and sang sik and na rae set the bar for enemies to lovers workplace couples this year i dont care what anyone says!!

Pee in your pants – For REAL laugh out loud comedy!!!

I had no idea what this drama was going to be about, I just knew it had Kwak Dong Yeon and I loved him in Young Actor’s Retreat and Love in the moonlight. This was the PERFECT comedy to watch right before bed, because it will put a MAJOR smile on your face.

It reminded me a lot of the American show The Office, just a lot of awkward humor, physical comedy and a touch of romance. I love that the show wasn’t too serious and it was just about a rag-tag marketing team.

The show was mainly about two story lines (for me). It was about the main-lead’s love/hate relationship and the secondary couple (the babies I call them).

I REALLY loved the secondary couple, especially, Bae Hyun Sung (or I like to call him, mini-Bo Gum, BHS looks exactly the younger version of him!). BHS is so good in Our Blues and Dear M. I really want to watch him in a ML role. I LOVE his little hair flip too, the costume and hair and make-up team were very good to add that in.

At 45 minutes an episode and only 12 episodes, it’s a very easy drama to watch. The humor is over-the-top funny, I mean, you will laugh so hard, your cheeks and belly will hurt. I enjoy watching all the characters running around with their heads cut off. It was just, like I say again, FUNNY!

I recommend anyone who wants to be happy while watching this drama to start this one.

A peculiar but fun kdrama about office romances and office relationships.

1/STORY:
There is no real story here. It is rather the chronicles or the daily life of Gaus Electronics' Marketing team 3 with each member of the team being a weirdo like the ones that you can meet in an company or who are already in your own department: the overbearing perfectionist harsh female superior, the geek manager, the aged team leader, the colleague who belongs to a very rich family, the cold female coworker, the junior who tries to do his best but can't achieve anything and so on... And all these people try to make the team successful.

2/ WHAT I LIKED:
- The humour: mostly burlesque, physical, silly, goofy but rarely mean to people as persons and humans.
- The different type of love relationhips: weird ones, unexpected ones, unsuccessful ones…
- The SML: His family background, ambition, haircut, dedication, journey in the real world, lovelife... They could make a spin off with him.

3/ WHAT WAS LESS OK FOR ME:
- The story. The drama is not very memorable because of the lack of development of the characters apart from Aziz. I think they should have added a time jump for the lead couples. To explain that despite all the silliness, they still ended happy together.
- Some jokes were a bit complicated to understand for me. My bad for not knowing korean language but I did wish it was less “specific” at times.

4/ OST: It was fun

5/ REWATCHABLE VALUE: A lot of fun scenes but I would not rewatch. It is like comedy sketches that you enjoy in the moment then that’s it.

6/ OVERALL: A quite peculiar but very funny drama with its humour made of burlesque, physical and bodily humour, satire about office situations, parody of some dramas… Each episode brings its good laugh but also gently expose the human condition at work and the different relationships and attitudes between colleagues. It is not really memorable as the characters are not too developed but I do recommend it as each episode really made me smile and laugh. 9/10.

A not so fresh breeze of comedy

My first impression on this drama was overrated. However much like the majority of the reviews on this site i follow with
a overall rating of 9.0

The strength of this drama does not lie in its cast or storyline as both are practically non existent. The Music was not memorable either, It has none of the required elements of a rom com that rate it high, .... but it kept me watching and had me binge watching the entire series in a day. While nothing fresh or new it has a comedic flow that just keeps you relaxed and not too anxious on what will happen next. Go in with no expectations but to laugh at some comedy similar to Pegasus Mart and you will have a good time.
( Romance scenes are not its strong point you have been warned! )

I think this show is a little overrated, reading other reviews & the comment section I had the impression that this is the most amazing romantic comedy ever. Well it is definitely not, not even close, but 2022 had been quite bleak for Korean romcoms & this one admittedly stands out a little, because it does not really have anything majorly wrong with it & the enemies to lovers trope is something most people -including myself- enjoy. For a corporate kdrama the office slice of life is quite unoffensive, but it's not very interesting either, the hook in the show is just the comedy & romance, nothing else, but the acting is not exactly top tier and the comedy is hit & miss for me. I'm not a huge fan of slapstick & this drama has quite a bit of that & also there are a lot of really juvenile gags. As for the romance it's good, but I'm not a huge fan of the ML in this role & the chemistry is not all that believable. Also the ending felt a bit rushed, did this flop on Korea, so it got shortened to 12 episodes???

I decided to give this 8/10 only, because there were very few good romcoms over the past year & at least I enjoyed this one a lot, though I'm quite certain a rewatch is not in my future.
