Just four ordinary women with real-word problems! The concept of woman selling lingerie in a small town in the 90s is one of the best ideas ever...so unique! The seeming of lingerie isn't always a focal point of each episode; however, I like that the writers focuses on the everyday ups and downs of these woman. I enjoy watching the relationships and friendships in the drama blossom.

I feel that the characters are relatable and their problems are ones that many viewers can connect with. The group of women with their diverse backgrounds bring so much to look forward to.

It's a perfect k-drama for ladies who don't want the typical love story and who want something not so cliche. The ML is amazing to watch and brings his own dilemma to the already well-written drama.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get angry, you'll be surprised and you'll want more!

Did that catch your attention? Most unusual for a KDrama, a sex theme, so there is a one and only sex scene in the first episode. Watched this because of the actor, Lee Se-hee, from, "a Lady and a Gentleman", (well worth a look if you like pure soap), but she is only 5th billing on this series. But Kim So-yeon has top billing for this series and carries it with aplomb, will try and find another KDramas with her in it, quite impressed. Set in 1992, before cell phones and the internet became popular and landline telephones are the norm, very refreshing. Orphan children and looking for their birth parents is a common theme in KDramas and this one is no different.

This is an easy to watch kdrama about 4 women in a small town seeking ways to survive but more importantly how to be themselves and be free of the typical stereotypes that society wants them to be. This is nothing new but the serie does it really well in my opinion.

The characters in the serie are to me really interesting. You see how they grow and bloom. Also the combination of the different characters of the 4 women works really well.

I have literally both laughed and cried in sometimes even the same episode.

I do think it could have been more risqué, that would have made it more unique now it was still really decent.

I have a weakness for Japanese TV shows and quirky k-dramas and I really wanted to like this new Netflix series. I expected a risque comedy, but it's neither risque nor a comedy. It's a weird soapy mish-mosh with a clogged kitchen sink thrown in. Yet somehow, the lingerie business theme becomes more of a tangent, which is a shame because that stuff is cute and hilarious. Anyway, the first 4 episodes are slow paced but amusing and I anticipated some crazyfun was about to break loose. But nope, we're at episode 8 and the last 4 episodes were stretched all over the map. And never legitimately funny. Scenes were edited and thrown together in a forced, plodding and disconnected way. I still can't make any sense of the female lead because her acting keeps vacillating from deep frozen damsel-in-distress to disruptive emotional volcano. Sometimes she even reminds me of a mask wearing Kabuki character. The one character I do like is Detective KIm. Kim is slowly becoming the super-glue that holds the hapless Kabuki style heroine, her backwater town, its puerile police force, and the entire series together. So I plan to keep watching. At least to see how things turn out for all the lingerie ladies.

Korean Drama '' A Virtuous Business '' is a business drama about female friendship and endurance.

The drama has a band of interesting characters that have nice chemistry between them, and their friendship bonds were the highlight of the drama, rather than the romance, which was okay but was left half-baked in the end. The family drama was enjoyable as well and gave some sweet and emotional moments to the plot.

In addition, the theme was original but well handled. The performances were all great as well, by everyone in the cast.

Finally, the settings, costumes, and makeup were all spot on for the time period in which the drama was taking place.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
