I highly recommend The Story of Manager Kim, a Homeowner in Seoul Working for a Major Corporation!

Even so, Mr. Kim presses on, striving each day to find a balance between work, family, and his own happiness. Through moments of laughter and tears, he slowly comes to realize what it is he truly wants to protect.
This drama stars the highly acclaimed Ryu Seung-ryong in the lead role. Opposite his strong and charismatic presence, Myung Se-bin plays his wife with a graceful and refined charm, while Cha Kang-yoon delivers a natural performance as their son. The casting feels perfectly matched.
In addition, the supporting cast also deliver remarkable performances. The drama stands out for its high quality, with little of the awkwardness or unnecessary exaggeration often seen in TV series.
It is especially recommended for viewers who connected with “Misaeng” or “My Mister.”
