Ordinary Glory (2020)

Muy emotiva, con actuación impecables

Llevaba tiempo queriendo ver esta serie especialmente porque sé que Mark Chao escoge buenos proyectos. Al fin la pude ver y me encantó.
Una típica serie de historias de oficina, con un gran desarrollo de cada personaje.
La unión de este director estancado, gracias a su carácter, unido a este novato sin titulo universitario que llega a la empresa, va desencadenar un montón de situaciones, muy interesante desde el aspecto de crecimiento personal, de todos los personajes principales involucrados.
Pase toda la serie emocionada viendo paso a paso la evolución de cada practicante, viendo las motivaciones de los jefes y los clientes. De verdad aprecie mucho con el detalle que este chico principal explicaba todos sus sentimientos con voz en off.
La actuación de Mark Chao es impecable, solo una mirada lo decía todo, él es genial.
Al final encontré esta serie en youtube, la recomiendo 100%, si lo que quieres ver es romance esta no es tu serie, si quieres ver situaciones realistas en el medio laboral a la medida que te encariñas con los personajes, por aquí es.

What experiences in life contribute most to your growth as a person? What are you willing to sacrifice for the greater good of your colleagues and maybe yourself? What is your selling point?

An incredible depiction of the real struggles that average, mundane, normal, people have to go through in their everyday lives. Yet, the story itself is nothing but mundane. We get to look at the turmoil that goes on in an office setting and in within the people themselves. It's hard to believe that an office drama, of all types, can get your heart racing, keep your eyes glued, and feed your anticipation for the next scene. As someone who frequently cries over dead characters in fantasy/historical dramas, I found myself crying over simple decisions made by these characters that had such great impact on their colleagues.

Acting was superb! Super impressed by Bai Jingting who was able to shed his outer "idol image" and give us such a pure Sun Yiqiu. Loved how all the other actors portrayed their characters in a way that was so believable. I especially loved the portrayal of the "villain" characters, as they did such an amazing job making the characters look like people that we really could picture to appear in our lives.

I'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be available Eng subs for a wider audience, but I hope that gets done in the future.
