Lighthearted first teaser for KBS’s God of the Workplace
by javabeans
The first teaser is out for KBS’s upcoming office drama titled God of the Workplace, and so far it looks light and funny. The drama had initially been called Please Come Back, Miss Kim, and after seeing the short-n-sweet preview, I do wish they’d kept the title. Or tweaked it, perhaps. But God of the Workplace just sounds so generic.
In the teaser below, we start out with office employees responding to a question about Miss Kim. (We’ve got Jeon Woo-chi’s Lee Hee-joon, no longer rocking the wizard wig; Jeon Hye-bin of Yacha, Jung Yumi of The Crucible; Oh Ji-ho of Chuno; and idol Jo Kwon.) We don’t hear the question, so the editing is cut up to give us only their reactions, which start with a lot of hemming and hawing. We get a lot of “Miss Kim? Umm…” and “Hmm” and “Don’t ask me about Miss Kim.”
Thus it sounds like they’re refraining from badmouthing her, until they finish their sentences and the sentiment turns around on its head: “Wonder Woman? Batman?” “My hero and mentor?” “A really cool person.” “A god-like presence.”
Then Kim Hye-soo informs us all, “I am Miss Kim.” Jaunty smile.
So… it doesn’t really tell much about the show itself, though we have the plot from earlier descriptions. Based on a Japanese drama (Pride of the Temp), God of the Workplace will be a cute and funny look at life in the modern workplace, with the super-competent Miss Kim at its center.
This writer previously wrote the Drama Special The Great Gye Choon-bin, which starred Jung Yumi, which was a very sweet, small story about two quirky souls finding each other. The writer then went funnier and trendier for Flower Boy Ramyun Shop. Its PD previously directed family drama My Precious You and the darker Resurrection. It’s an eclectic mix of shows, but I hope those credits bode well for this one.
God of the Workplace will follow Ad Genius Lee Tae-baek and premieres on KBS on April 1.

Workplace dramas aren't my thing normally... but I might just give this a try.
I'm not really familiar with any of the actors, are they good/bad/in between?

Yep, I'll check this out!! I'm liking the cast already. Glad to see Oh Ji-ho back into Rom-Com, I feel like that's where he shines more. (I seriously enjoyed the heck out of "Get Karl", but I might be one of the few who do. I must add the lead female made me embarrassed to the point I had to pause and take a breather.. lol still love her tho). Him with serious roles drains me sometimes.

I watched it like 3 years ago so i don't remember much, but I do remember she did A LOT of embarrassing stuff lol. I even let my sister watch it and she said the same thing( She kept covering her eyes).

I loved Get Karl, too! I thought it was pretty funny. Uhm Jung-hwa had great spunk, and Oh Ji-ho was nearly a foil for himself hahaha. Sung Dong-il in his supporting role was the best thing ever.

I love the original version and am hoping that this one is just as enjoyable.
Pleased to see that they've got Oh Ji-Ho with a curly-curly perm!

I saw the original... not sure how they will pan this one out since the original didn't really have a love story for it. Interested in the tone it will take.

Oh my god. I thought that was Bae Doo Na in the screen captures of Jung Yumi. They look similar.

Kim Hye-Soo, I haven't seen her since Style, which was my fav drama for unintentional laughs, until Dr Jin came along.

Oh Kim Hye-soo, the woman every girl wants to be and every guy wants to be with. I still can't wrap my brain around how utterly cool this lady is. And if this is the drama where she is kick ass but still hilarious, I am so on board.

It looks lighthearted and fun, I'll watch it but it still isn't haken no hinkaku.
It's very very loosely based on the original work.
There was almost no romance in the dorama, yes two male leads ended up attracted to Haruko but she was not interested in either one.
Sad that the character has to change and become softer when she falls in love. That's what I loved about the dorama version was that Haruko was capable and didn't need a man in her life.

I don't know if it's because of the make-up but OJH seemed to be a bit different as if he has made some work on his face, or is it because he's getting older?

heh been watching Ad man genius lee tae baek and they show small ads for this at the end of the last few episodes. I recognize the lead actress as Pepsi from "the Thieves". She's a bit older but she definitely has a rockin' body and was pretty good in The Thieves!
