Desgraciadamente, se trata de un slasher mediocre.
El motivo por el que vi "Office" es por haber sido la primera película como director de Hong Won-Chan, brillante guionista de cintas como "The Chaser", "The Yellow Sea" o "Confession of Murder", todas ellas bastante buenas.Sin embargo, y curiosamente, esta "Office" no está escrita por él. Y se nota, ya que el guion no tiene en absoluto la solidez necesaria para desarrollar adecuadamente esta especie de slasher a la coreana que pese a resultar entretenido, termina fracasando por lo inverosímil de su propuesta, por su falta de profundidad y por su previsible tramo final.
Recomendada sólo para curiosos.

The story is about work pressure, and since I am from the EU (where the work pressure is quite low) I found this movie interesting. The story is slow paced, but shows from every person a back story and you can possibly relate to them. Sadly the execution was a bit messy, there were a few flaws and real movie mistakes. That said, I could feel the suspension throughout the movie.
The actors all did a very well job, I wish some had more time to develop their character.
I didn't found the music pleasing at all times, and I don't think I would rewatch this movie.
Watch this if you like suspense / mysterie movies.
Skip this if you want a clear answer at the end of a movie.

I kind of stumbled upon this movie after watching Radiant office, and thought to try it. I then realized I saw a trailer for this movie once and felt excited, but was slightly let down. The story depicts the stress of an adult work life and how it can truly change someone even pushing them to kill their co -workers. The concept and overall idea seemed super interesting but it fell short due to the story being slightly confusing.( Spoiler) I found when Mi Ryes image switched between herself and Sung Woo (the villain father) I couldn't really tell who killed the person. It seemed that they were both killing people within the office?? There were also parts in the story that didn't seem to add up for me. For example, when the officers found the body locked in the maintenance room in the parking garage? What was the cause and who did it?? ( maybe I missed something?? ) Overall if you miss one part in the story everything may not make sense.
On the bright side I loved the cast and acting, all the actors seemed to play their part adding to the overall "office" feel. Each actor/worker conveyed their own stress in different ways which is one part I enjoyed about the story, the short character development made me keep watching.
The music wasn't apparent to me and didn't leave a lasting impression, I honestly cant remember a time were music added to the film in any way across any of the scenes in the movie.
I'm not too sure if I would watch this movie again, or suggest it if that conversation ever comes up. Maybe after reading a few other reviews and seeing/reading others opinions and theory's/explanations I will revisit!

Happy Madness Ending
Some would say this doesn't have a happy ending, but to someone who has gone thru the same and much worse this is indeed a happy ending, seeing the intern killing all of them and getting away with it, that felt good not great but good, she didn't go thru that much, but still she was mistreated and they didn't respect her and got another intern, so she can't be blamed for what she did even if it's wrong.Over the last 6 years of working I have gone thru the same things, I didn't even stand up for myself at the beginning and was used and took advantage of cause they thought I can't stand up for my self, till i had enough of it and I faced them and then they started respecting me and knew my worth, but I'd always leave the place after a year or so cause I don't like to become as filthy as they are or in her case become a murderer ?
