I have just started watching this new South Korean drama and I much say it is very promising.  The lead actress plays Jwa Yoon-Yi (Baek Jin-Hee) is adorably quirky but extremely efficient, while the lead actor is Daniel Choi playing the reluctant boss, Nam Chi – Won.

Jugglers pertain to the so-called office wives, the personal assistants, who would do almost anything for their bosses.  (In some cases, sleep with the boss is not out of bounds, but so naughty especially if the boss is already taken!)

Jugglers are the employees who anticipate every need of their employers.  And this is what this drama is all about.

The Personal Assistants are encouraged to get to know their bosses inside and out, his health condition, mental condition, his hobbies, his habits, people nearest and dearest to him, people who want to do him harm, everything.  Sometimes the PA knows more of their bosses than the bosses know themselves.

The only thing is that if the boss is particularly demanding, a PA’s life is no longer her own. She lives and breathes her boss’s life, including his personal activities.

During episode 1, Jwa Yoon Yi ended up being fired from her job because her boss’ wife wrongly thought that she was sleeping with her boss.  Unfortunately for Jwa Yoon Yi, the news got around and it was difficult to find another job.  That is until she was made a fait accompli PA to Nam Chi Won.

Episode 5

Yoon Yi is extremely annoying in this episode.  She is so clingy and over the top for a PA.  She is going to ruin her boss if she continues on with her antics.

Kdramas Summary & Review List (South Korean Dramas)

Now that I have decided to be happily retired, television has become my life, watching dramas from Japan, Taiwan, China, Thailand but most especially South Korea.

I am totally addicted that it has become the reason of my being, my raison d’etre.

South Korean dramas are spectacular compared to many.  They do pay attention to details.  The sceneries are pretty panoramic, do not have the feel of having shot mainly in a studio; the stairs and doors are not rickety or ‘cardboardy’ and you know that they have spent a lot of money in making the drama.

The stories are relatable, watchable.  And not overlong.  Sometimes you feel that a 16 episode drama is just not enough after you have developed empathy with the actors/characters  in the drama (I know sad, right? LOL)

The opposite is my gripes with Filipino dramas, they go on and on in circles that most viewers are left not caring anymore! 🙂 🙁

Another reason to fall in love with Korean dramas is that the actors are so handsome and beautiful.  They are so pleasing to look at.

Have you noticed?  whenever a criminal has to disappear in a Kdrama, they send him/her to the Philippines!!!🤪

Philippine dramas should make their villains from kdramas/South Korea  LOL. Fun

Anyway, after continued viewing of Korean dramas for more than a year, I have become an expert, an ACE KDrama addict.

And who better than an ACE Kdrama addict to go to for recommendations?!!!

So without further ado here is my list and I must say a work in progress and not in any order: –

Business/Power Struggle/Office

Supernatural/Fantasy/Horror:
