Many of us had grand ideas when we were younger about the great careers we would have in our bright futures. For Jang Geu Rae (Siwan), it was to become a professional baduk player (a game that involves chess-like strategies and skills). But when his gaming plans fail, the down-and-out Geu Rae is forced to get an office job and goes to work as an intern for large company. There, he faces the eager fellow intern An Young Yi (Kang So Ra) as they both try to please their new boss, Section Chief Oh Sang Shik (Lee Sung Min), and keep up with the ambitious employee Jang Baek Ki (Kang Ha Neul). As Geu Rae tries to deal with this dreary new existence in the cubicle world, can he use the strategies from the game of baduk to survive in the corporate world? “Incomplete Life” is a 2014 South Korean drama series directed by Kim Won Suk. It is based on the popular online comic “Misaeng” by Yoon Tae Ho. |

2 episodes in and I am hooked. So far, the show puts far less emphasis on Go than, say, Hikaru no Go, but at the same time it is much more of a central theme than most shows with the single scene containing a Go board off in the distance. The protagonist used to be an insei / yungusaeng, and in the first episode his Go helps him get out of a sticky business meeting situation. The show is a little bit over the top for me, but I am still enjoying it; came for the Go, stayed for the bizarre portrayal of Korean corporate world workforce culture. |
