今天不上班 / Kyowa Kaisha Yasumimasu / Today Not at Work

Ta-da!
Finally after the previous post, I am back to update on new drama!
This time I would like to introduce a different genre to you!
Guess what,


Today not at work! Kyowa Kaisha Yasumimasu!


Wonderful cast they have!
All beautiful and good in acting.
The synopsis started off with a lady named Hanae Aoishi, turning 30 soon and yet has not settle down with any guy. She thinks she is boring and old-fashioned which is why guys don't have any interest on her. Also, she has no dating experience which makes her acting very different from another colleague who was rich in dating experience and a player in flirting too. Then, in her workplace she met a young man, Tanokura Yuto only age 21 years, a part time employee in the company. In an outing, she was drunk and passed out. On the next day, she found out herself sleeping next to the young man and had a night with him. She became confused and scared and took one day off from work which surprises her boss. The young man confessed to her later on only she decides to date the young man. On the other hand, a young and charming CEO happened to meet Aoishi and noticed the two had not changed their clothes after that night and suspected some thing happened between them. Only then, the CEO became a teacher to Aoishi guiding her on relationship problems. The CEO himself begins to have feelings for Aoishi because she is different from any other women he came across.

The main casts are Ayase Haruka as Hanae Aoishi, Fukushi Sota as Tonakura Yuto, and Tamaki Hiroshi as Asao Yu.  Ayase Haruka is definitely a beautiful lady but in this drama she has to dress so plain and with very very light make up even with a old-fashioned spectacles. Fukushi Sota is definitely a young and handsome actor with playful acting skills make the character looked very active and good in dating and stuff. Lastly, Tamaki Hiroshi, he did great in Nodame Cantabile. I always liked his acting and all because he has this magic that make the audience attracted to it. Also, with his experiences in acting, he looked very mature in this drama and I feel he is trustable and smart in this drama.

To date, it only airs until 4th episodes. I looked forward to this drama :D
It doesn't only contains romance but also with a little comedy, maybe because the heroin really don't have any dating experience and also lack of knowledge on it made everything look funny.
I enjoyed it and you shall enjoy it too!

Below here is the relationship chart:

Bad Guys 坏家伙们 Korean Drama 2014

This was what I currently watching.
A very brutal drama. Because every battle scene with the criminals was filled with violence and blood.
It is better recommend for adults above 18 years. Such violence actions will filled the minds of the youth and caused bad influences.

Other than that, the storyline was very much clear that the Detective tries to gather the forces from the three selected criminals to capture all the current criminals. And each murderer or criminal they have successfully captured will be reward with a reduction of 4 years of jail which this fact was most people who wanted to get rid of living or maybe dying in the jail. Also, an extra point to that motive of doing this is that the detective had suffered pain from losing his daughter who was killed by a fleed criminal and yet nowhere to be found.

The interesting point to this drama is that, after the two introductory episodes to the characters, it will have a subtitle to each few episodes. For example, in the 3rd episode, the subtitle was "Human Trafficking" or might be understood as "Human Organs Marketing". You can see that the writer was reading all sorts of crime and mystery genre books and produced this piece passionately with something captured from the materials.

I like how the characters had different personalities and background because everyone is different and that makes an audience to pick up the interest to catch the drama. The three selected criminals were all with different specialty.



This was one of the selected criminal. Interestingly, his name is Lee Jung Moon in the drama and do you recognized him? He became famous because of "You who came from the Stars". In this drama, he is a genius with very high IQ and intelligent in mathematics and physics, however he seemed to have a personality disorder which he will tend to lose memory of the killing time. You would wonder how he get into jail when he is super smart? Watch the drama.

He is totally quiet and contributed most of the hypothesis which are logical and scientifically correct.
A person you would never choose to speak to because you might think he consider the world out of it. Too serious.


This selected criminal was a professional killer. The name is Jung Tae-Soo in the drama. Very little background information was gathered from the scenes. The only reason he present in the jail was he surrender himself one day after a murder. No any verbal reason was told by the killer. A friend he later reunited asked him, "Do you think you can be relieved from the past murders by confessed and surrender into the jail?"

I think that might be a reason.

Also, he has a very soft spot for a woman who had once saved his life.



Last but not least, the last criminal. His strength was powerful attack and muscular body. Thus, the writer gave him no intelligence in life nor knowledge. Despite there is no competition of intelligence with the other two characters, he does have luck which was how he identified the very first murderer they handled and had a little fight with the murderer. However the victory goes to another criminal.

He is the source of humour. His very own thinking made the audience laugh. How can a person be so funny when he couldn't even think logically.



Alright, this is the detective. And of course, this image was totally not the detective in the drama.
This was a script reading image and not on-set image.


Overall the drama was well made but if the way the director capture every scene can be less in darker background and more of humour scenes will be better. The current episodes are up to 4 and there is still long way to go. The scenes for each character were very well balanced. Although it had only a rose among the thorns, a girl police officer, I still think this will be an exciting drama in which every drama you hardly can predict the plot correctly.

The reason is, the turning point is awkwardly fitting into the flow.

I rate this drama 8 out of 10.
