Good Job (TV series)

While trying to finish Longing for you and waiting for the 2 final episodes, I came across Good Job, a south korean action comedy drama starring Jung Il-Woo. If you’re familiar with Stealer: The Treasure Keeper, it bears quite a bit of resemblance but in this Good Job, there's an element of fantasy added to spice things up. Good Job has 12 episodes and each episode runs about an hour. K-drama is also known to be on the forefront of tech culture and it is shown in this video where NFT, Web3 and AI was mentioned. Considering it was 2022, those three were the buzzwords and this drama features a fictional setting of a company who works in those fields. Without further adieu,let me tell you what this k-drama is all about and whether it’s worth your time or not.

A mysterious old man appears at an exclusive auction and is actually a man in disguise who tries to look for the rare jewelry. His name is Eun Seon-Woo who works with his partner, a hacker and cleaner Yang Jin-Mo who is also a lawyer by his day profession. They both were working to uncover the mystery of a murder that involves Seon-Woo’s mother and the necklace. But during the day, Seon-Woo is actually a successful businessman and runs Eun Kang Group. One day, he was bumping into Don Se-Ra(Kwon-Yuri) who was working multiple jobs and they met when Se-Ra was in her delivery job. Seon-Woo while running from gangsters chasing after him, he uses Se-Ra’s motorbike. They eventually met a couple of times by chance and it turned out that his partner Jin-Mo was a neighbor of Se-Ra’s friend who owns a bakery nearby. Although at first they all meet in a bad situation, they eventually work together as Se-Ra has a unique ability that was needed by Seon Woo. Will they be able to uncover the necklace mystery? Find out more as you watch this action packed yet comedic K-drama.

When I first watched the first episode, I was already laughing so hard because Jin-Mo (Eum Moon-Suk) and Seon-Woo had a lot of comedic lines that made you laugh. It features high-tech references, scenes and also action packed. The mystery is also there and it drives the course of the story. It makes you wonder why the main character’s mother’s killed and the necklace was taken away. I have to say that after watching Longing for you, it was a breath of fresh air to find something so funny and entertaining. When compared to Stealer, it’s definitely more funny to me personally because though the other one has comedic lines and scenes, it wasn’t able to make me really laugh freely like Good Job. Somehow, this also reminds me of a K-drama Terius behind me but obviously, they have a different plot, just similar comedy and similar action style. I would definitely recommend this if you’re looking for something fresh to watch.
