K-Drama: Misaeng 미생 - Intro

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.
Peace be upon Muhammad s.a.w

Based on the webcomic “Misaeng” by Yoon Tae Ho published from 20 Jan 2012 to 14 Oct 2013

In love with the new, not so new actually - Korean drama and so I would like to share about it! Well I'm supposed to finish up on China trip but yeah.. malas.
And according to mama, malas tak ada ubat! Well actually there is.
Write a new topic! And so here it is hihi

Anyway, this K-drama currently aired on 8tv every Thursday and Friday at 10.30 p.m to 12 midnight. It ain't like the typical lovey-dovey K-drama but instead it is the first drama (for me at least) that is really realistic which portrays the hardship in life and that's why I'm hooked on it!

First of all, this so ever great series entitled Misaeng which means an incomplete life.
It is a 2014 South Korean television series consist of 20 episodes and based on the webtoon series of the same title by Yoon Tae-ho.
Currently at episodes 14 at 8tv. And surprisingly according to Wiki, Misaeng was the first K-drama to film on location in Jordan.

This is a story of Jang Geu-Rae whose since he was a child he was so into the board game baduk. But when one day he fails on becoming a professional baduk player, Geu-rae finally needed to enter the real working world unfortunately he is armed with only a high school equivalency exam. Through one of CEO recommendation, he gets hired as an intern at One International, a large trading company. So this is a story of working environment!

In this series there this boss, manager Oh Sang-Shik, a real workaholic man but really nice person. The fellow intern Ahn Young-Yi, young lady with impressive educational credentials and extremely competent at any task and Jang Baek-gi, such an egoist co-worker but handsome! Geu-rae learns to navigate and adapt to corporate culture, with baduk as his guide.

I can really relate to this series which has so much drama in office and among colleagues as well as stress and politics, you need to watch it! Who knows you might get a tips on 'office drama' you are currently in because I did.
Watch this tv series online at MyAsianTV.com

Till then, Assalamualaikum!
Can't wait for Thursday & Friday to come!
Happy Chinese New Year and loooong holiday!
