It follows the story of middle-aged office workers struggling to survive in a turbulent workplace
Misaeng:
It is about employees who fight to get out of the cruel corporate world they feel they've become trapped in.
On the verge of insanity is a business drama, which shows office politics as well as other business areas like acquisitions, team projects, closing of business, human resource department etc. as well as technology perfectly. Hot stove league also focuses on business part well with baseball. The characters are very well developed and consistent in both of them and they have very little to no romance. They are well made I love them both.
