The Best Moment To Quit Your Job (2017)

This was a short and different drama from anything out there these last few years. In simple words it was real. If you unemployed, looking for work or you are working at a place that you don't like or you have quit your job or maybe just thinking about quitting. I guarantee that you will find something that you will be able to relate to in this drama. As this drama follows 4 young women at the start of their careers and the ups and down's of that. The hardship, the struggles, those following their dreams and others discovering themselves. I enjoyed it a lot and I found myself relating to the girls stories as well.

Story - I felt the story was realistic, very accurate and I feel as though a lot of young people who finished University can relate to this.

Acting/Cast - All the actresses played their roles exceptionally. I can't fault anyone.

Music- Music was good. Matched the scenes.

Rewatch Value - Yes.

Overall - I enjoyed it because I could relate to it a lot but if you are looking for a romance filled drama then probably this isn't for you.

This was the most realistic drama I've seen, and I liked it quite a bit. All the girls were relatable in their own way and made me want them to succeed and find happiness. The show can be a bit depressing, but I appreciated its honesty and the way it portrayed the quiet beauty of everyday life. The cinematography and music were lovely, in an understated sort of way. There's lots of "breathing room" in the way the show is shot, like a character walking down a street until they're out of frame. Something about it felt fresh and clean to me and made me want to do better in my life after watching. Kind of like a Ghibli movie, but less whimsical.

the most realistic kdrama i've seen

I’ll be honest, this drama is not for everyone. We follow the lives of 4 friends who take us through the ups and downs of being a young adult nowadays. We see them struggle again and again against the pressure of their parents, society and themselves, we see them battle with their traumas and fears, trying to figure out what they want and how to balance life and career which is something our generation often thinks it overlaps but with these girls we see how important is to set boundaries and to remember this is our first time living, even if you’re 22 or 89 this is our first life and we’re all kind of swinging and seeing how it goes.
One of the great things is how the story is told, we kind of see a lot scenes twice from different perspectives and that really helps the viewer to understand the four girls a lot better and is something to also remember in real life how the way people react is most likely related to what’s happening in their life and has nothing to do with us. One of the characters struggles with her own sexual orientation which I think is worth noting because is not very common to see a queer character in kdramas being portrayed as complex human being with more to her that just being gay or being a joke if we even get too see one and one of her greatest lines was “why should one make excuses for who you are.” Nevertheless all the girls were complex characters and each one of their stories even when different connected very well.
I feel like if you’re in your 20s (like me) you’ll feel really related with this drama to the point of feeling a little exposed.
I do feel, even when the drama is only 8 episodes long, the story was kind of slow and it doesn’t have any of the normal plot devices and tropes in kdramas we might be used to which is not a bad thing but I think is worth knowing before watching.

With the premisses of Age of Youth in mind, I've found this drama hoping for maybe something quick as well as good. The story isn't like Age of Youth, as it deals more about women working, having a hard time and thinking about their future. Their stories focus on their friendships, their co workers and sometimes their relationships, but mostly their jobs. The performances, moreover, were really good and to the point with no exaggerations. Honestly, I've got confused over the names and the characters at first, but things got better later on and the ending was very satisfying. So, 5 out of 10.

Full of lessons

This drama will make you feel seen.

As we enter our 20s and finish our degrees, there's always this unshakable feeling of anxiety about the type of life we'll be able to live. At some point, we're optimistic and full of big dreams, and we expect the world to see the light that shines through us, to see that we're trying, to understand us, and to help us.

So, not only is the journey toward stability complicated since the job market is so hard on recent graduates, but we also feel anxious when we finally get that short-term job position. We can't figure out if we will even get a fixed position or if we are prepared for the responsibilities. And things get worse when it's hard to work with the people who are supposed to be on your team. But as juniors, we must prevail, lower our heads, and keep showing that we're trying.

This drama is for us, 20-something young people who are just living life for the 1st time. And the beauty of this drama is in how by the end we get to see that there's always an alternative, a better place for us, a new opportunity, etc. So whoever is reading this, keep walking, keep moving forward, don't give up on your dreams, please, because if things are not working now, maybe you just need to take a break, or change your environment or start doing your own thing. Believe in yourself and in your talents. You got this.
