El Arte de la Negociación

This episode had the perfect balance of realism and mystery, making it incredibly engaging. I loved that there wasn't a dramatic cliffhanger in episode 1, yet the way it ended still left me eager for more. The pacing was just right, drawing me in without feeling rushed. And I have to say, Lee Je-hoon's white hair adds so much depth and intrigue to his character-I can't get enough of it! It enhances his presence and makes him even more captivating to watch. If you give this a try, you'll see exactly what I mean. The first episode had such a strong and promising start, and I truly hope more people check it out because it deserves all the attention!

First of all, there is no jerk or clown-like supporting actors in this drama series. But as always, there are bad, unloyal, betrayal and greedy characters who usually make a lot of twists to the storyline. The plots and the scenarios faithfully maintain on the track, never go astray too far away from it.

Secondly, the soundtrack, i.e., the background music to accommodate the ongoing scenes are just right and so subtle enough that never unnaturally disturb a smooth and peaceful viewing. Unlike most of the other so-called Korean comedies that moronically added annoying cartoonish music to exaggerate the acting of those clown-like supporting actors or main characters facial expressions. The music appears at the right moment, not exaggerate or tries so annoyingly hard to dramatize the scenes.

The storyline of this series is evenly balanced to tell a story in two episodes, and every story is different from the others. Such smart arrangement and allocation just keep we viewers' interest and never lose it.

If there is any negative point about this drama series, I would say that the main actor, Lee Je-hoon, is not good enough, since his rigid and cardboard-like acting is not great at all, and the character/role he played can be replaced with other male actors, all they should do is acting like him, with limited fact expressions and dialogue, no emotion, no feeling and nothing to say too much, just stand there or bowing. We can cast the main actors of some other TV drama series, such as Crash Landing on You or Love Scout...because they all did the same cardborad-like acting, rigid, expressionless, not too much dialogue needed. Anyway, it's easy to play such role by him.

Storyline, direction, acting, background music - all of it is absolutely perfect. Keeps you at the edge of your seat. Hoping there is a season 2 of this drama as the ending definitely showed there is lot of potential in this show. The actors portrayed in the M and A team as well as the Sanin corporate are well cast. Especially the M and A attorney. Even the guest actors who are featured in various episodes are good. Hats off to the casting director.

Aa someone who has seen corporate closely, this drama captures it well. I would say this is directors one of the best work. I enjoyed this more than One Spring Night and Something in the rain.

I dont ever bother to rate or reveiw anything but i especially made an imdb account just to rate this one hell of a masterpiece, please enjoy and give 10 rating so we can get a season2. Plot drama superb acting moderate pace it had it all ps i learned some actual social skills too. As a social noob, i consider it really helped me.

Being a student who might go to corporate, even tho its a drama it still depicted quite realistic approach towards some matters that i hope i never encounter personally but i can say it won't be a new thing to me now. The details of corporate conspiracies and constraints smoothly take u through the plot without making anything confusing. I might look upto Yoon Joo No (MC) as a persona from now on.

Well, this drama is totally different from other k-dramas. There is nothing forced, - emotions or sensibility. Very simple yet elegant, straight but eloquent. Nothing is pushed but there is a pace and culmination in each episode.

This is how an intelligent person usually is- a planner, negotiator and shrewd mind. The elite management culture is spot-on and the scoring game in senior team.

Totally recommended for those who like reason and sensible content. There is no romance or stupidity or drinking games and such. So usual k-drama content should not be expected. I dont know the name of lead actor, he is super good and so is the rest of team.
