(Drama) The Queen of Office

There are few new dramas that I'm watching now. I love dramas broadcasted on Monday and Tuesday. The Queen of Office (KBS) and Gu Family Book (MBC).

SPOILER ALERT!

The Queen of Office or in Korean 직장의신 (jikjangishin).

직장 - workplace
의 - showing belong to what. Like 's in english. Johnny's eraser.
신 - Goddess. Something like that.

This drama is about life of Korean contract worker. They're struggling just to get the job and then have to worry if the contract will be renewed after 3 months. They have to do minor work which permanent staff won't do like stapling paper, copy worksheet, and cutting paper for recycle. Discrimination in office between permanent staff and contract staff.

Juri is a freshman with a study loan and house rent to be paid. While Juri have to convince the two Sales & Marketing managers of YJang - Manager Jang and Manager Mu to hire her, Miss Kim is a professional contract worker invited by YJang.

Ms. Kim is mysterious woman. She doing work exactly like what stated in her manual - yes, Ms. Kim's Manual - and contract. Other than that, she should receive overtime pay. And she strictly doesn't want to get along with her office mates because from her view, after her contract finish, they won't see each other again. So why bother to try to get along and know each other.

Other important characters are Jang Gyujik (Marketing Team Head) and Mu Jeonghan (Support Team Head). These four people - Juri, Ms. Kim, Gyujik & Jeonghan - somehow connected with each other.

Flashback few years before.
It is a Christmas night. A group singing Christmas carol. Juri sits with her boyfriend at the bench. Her boyfriend propose her and they kiss. FRU (Special Unit Force to handle street rally.) officer cheering the couple from their bus. And suddenly, a bank nearby them explode. Juri see a woman run to the exploded bank. Wanted to get in because her office mate still in there.

Juri - being proposed by her boyfriend.
Ms. Kim - The woman who run to the exploded bank.
Mu Jeonghan - He went for his army service and appointed to FRU.
Jang Gyujik -  His mother is Ms. Kim's office mate. Her mother died on that day.

Comment:
I like this drama. The storyline is good. Maybe because I have experienced life as a job seeker so I can relate a few things about that in this drama. I kind of surprise to see that this drama ends on 16th episode.
