I know that the taste is scary, and it has a strange charm that makes it impossible to keep an eye on the next scene that the 'in-house match' can expect. Why is it attractive when the chaebol male protagonist follows the formula of a typical romantic comedy that falls in love with the heroine who lives firmly?
SBS monthly drama "In-house Match" (playplayplay by Han Sul-hee/directed by Park Sun-ho) is a work that depicts the romance of Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong), an employee who deceived his identity with face genius CEO Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop) and confronted Kang Tae-moo. Shin Ha-ri starts a part-time job that will break the spot for Jinyoung Seo (Sul In-ah), who wants a true love of Friend. He meets Kang Tae-moo at the front and tries to get the truth as usual, but Kang Tae-moo is attracted to such a servant and proposes at high speed. Even when he finds out that Kang Tae-moo is the CEO of his company, Shin Ha-ri desperately tries to avoid him.
The greatest attraction of this work, which shines even in the clichés, is the warm atmosphere: family love, Friendship and love envelop each character. Shin Ha-ri's family is not well-off, but they are full of affection. In the nagging of her mother, Han Mi-mo (Jung Young-joo), love is mixed, and her father, Shin Jung-hae (Kim Kwang-gyu), is on her side unconditionally. Kang Tae-moo's family is also the same: his grandfather, Kang Da-gu (Lee Deok-hwa), who is only worried about his grandchildren, wants to start a happy family as soon as possible, so he urges him to face it. Kang Tae-moo knows this, so he responds to the confrontation.
The longtime Friends, Shin Ha-ri and Jinyoung Seo, are true Friends who share hard times and sad times. No matter what happens, they run first to each other, and after work, they pour a drink on tteokbokki and tell the hardness of life. It is a meeting between chaebol and ordinary people, but it is no different from the appearance of any Friend. The relationship between Kang Tae-moo and secretary Younghoon (Kim Min-gyu) is also interesting. They show brotherhood beyond the relationship between a simple CEO and a secretary. Cleaning up the tea house whenever Kang Tae-moo is stressed is a point where they emphasize that they share special Friendships.
There is a sense of excitement that I know and see. The story of a male and female protagonist who is woven into an unexpected meeting, love sprouts in Misunderstood, and leads to a sweet affection, meets the surrogate satisfaction. Here is the fun of seeing the harmony of the perfect character and the enterprising and realistic character that seems to pop out of the comic.
Comic elements arranged in the right place also play a part. The operation of Shin Hari, who came out of the confrontation, to get the opponent to reject, the appearance of Shin Hari, who desperately runs away to avoid his identity, and the cute drunkenness of Shin Hari and Jinyoungseo make viewers laugh. If you laugh comfortably, you feel that the drama is over.
The actors' performance peaks. Kim Se-jeong, who earned the nickname of Korea's Emma Stone through this work, performed a comic and positive performance. When it was broken, it was decided and broken, but the pain of unrequited love and love for family were shown as a genuine stone. Ahn Hyo-seop also boasted a wide spectrum of acting, crossing between comic and sadness. Even though he expressed his narcissistic Kang Tae-moo comically, he focused on serious tone when expressing his heart about Shin Ha-ri.
It’s a good drama, no complicated triangles, no psychologically chaotic characters in it, no Billon plotting, no Misunderstood or stuffy. Speedy developments lower the fatigue of viewers.
Starting with a 4.9% audience rating (by Nielsen Korea/National standards), "In-house Match" which has jumped to about three times has only two appearances to go. It is noteworthy whether the 'classicism can prove power' and what kind of figure it will be.
