The Auditors Kdrama Lead by Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Jung Ha Does NOT Disappoint! | Episodes 1 - 6 Review

Saturday-Sunday drama The Auditors premiered July 6 and is expected to be finished by August 11, and as of writing, the drama already has 6 episodes out. Since we're already halfway through the drama, as it only have 12 episodes, it's about time I make a reaction/review about it. 

Tbh, I didn't expect much from it considering that it's sets in a boring corporate office where everyone are in their suits and skirts but as I finished episode 1 I'm surprised to see myself hooked with it very much. I guess if money and greed are involved in a story, it would actually turn out pretty good in the end. We all like to see those rich/wealthy people eaten by their greed, do immoral things to get what they desire and regret in the end when punishment is served to them. haha! Shin Cha Il (Shin Ha Kyun) is a newbie worker in JU Construction but he got hired to become the team leader of the audit team. The president, Hwang Se Woong (Jung Moon Sung) personally hired him but still underwent interview to make the Vice President's people get alarmed with their corruptions. 

JU Construction is the company that was passed on to siblings after the former president/father died. Hwang Gun Woong (Lee Do Yub) was originally the president but due to unfortunate events, he ended up comatose in a hospital. That's how the current president Hwang Se Woong got his position and their half brother Hwang Dae Woong (Jin Goo) became the vice president. Se Woong hired Cha Il with a mission to audit everyone who he finds suspicious or caught in a corruption so that their father's hard work in building/managing the company won't go down the drain. However, there seems to be a very suspicious vibe around this president. It feels like he doesn't want his brother to recover as he's always sporting that ingenuine kind of smile every time he visits the hospital and hears the improving health status of his brother. I don't think he would want to step down the president position at all. Hmmmm.... 

We all see Dae Woong to be the bad guy for covering up the corruptions, if not an accomplice or mastermind, inside JU Construction. The viewers are torn whether he's a nice guy after witnessing his 'good' treatment towards another audit member, his niece, Yoon Seo Jin (Jo A Ram). What made me more interested with this drama is because of Dae Woong and his dynamics with the audit team leader Cha Il. Everytime they are face to face, Dae Woong always ended up pissed while Cha Il is sporting a poker face. I really love that. hahaha! It adds comedy, flavor to a very serious subject of auditing inside the company. 

Also, when Shin Cha Il joined and became the team leader of the Audit Team, the members do not take their work so seriously. Special mention to Goo Han Soo (Lee Jung Ha) who aspire to do just enough work and look forward to transferring into Florida to get the life that he wanted. When Cha Il came, this fixed dream of Han Soo changed instantly. At first, the whole team (except Seo Jin) didn't like Cha Il at all for being serious and workaholic all the time. But as they work together as a team on different cases, their working principles as an audit team becomes one except the spectacles guy. Ugh I hate him... 

Anyways, I really like this drama so much right now. I'm glad that I finally caught up with it considering that there are so many on going dramas right now airing every weekends. Sheesh, I haven't been able to watch Good Partner just yet. WAAAA I better catch up to that as well!
