Baek Ki in Misaeng was such a real character.. and someone I could empathise with too. Growing up we’ve slogged our butts off to get our qualifications & be the “best-out-there”.. and then the real world specs really don’t matter as much..
So many other factors come into play.. passion, luck, perseverance, correct team/project combination.. so on.

I’ve been there & felt those pangs of jealousy (& also feeling ashamed about having these jealousy pangs) seeing colleagues who don’t know squat about the subject but doing so well & going places.. while I seemed to have not moved at all!
So glad he learnt to take it in his stride & work at his pace 🙂
