It's called the Legendary Office, and it's about the days when spies sat in the office. There are no big scenes, no action scenes, and no particularly dramatic plots. The common ones are conference rooms with several time zone clocks, offices renovated from old building lofts, messy technical departments, canteens that seem to have no appetite, and cramped The swipe elevator, the warm or cold home, the bustling streets, the various hotels and restaurants, and the occasional exotic street scene. Place names in the news like Damascus are more like long-term travel destinations for them.
But they are often like civil servants sitting in the office one second, and the city streets become their battlefields the next. In the words of one person on IMDB, "It's unbelievable how stressful and thrilling a meeting that is almost meaningless can become".
For the male protagonist, the tense fighting mode is his regular mode. He always allows himself to live on the battlefield. He is wary of colleagues, psychological consultants, pys who have a relationship, and everyone. Say goodbye to tracking one second.
The plot can be regarded as three lines, the whole department is looking for missing agents, new employees do tasks, and the male protagonist is entangled with py from Damascus. From the meeting in the gym in episode 5, it seems that the plot is actually quite big? The pace seems slow, but there is suspense in every episode, and the biggest suspense is the flashback part (it's easy to do this, and every episode shows a little bit of the finale, even if it's suspense).
At the end of the fifth episode, the seemingly peaceful dialogue between the male protagonist and the psychologist did not change, but turned into a turbulent narration. The Hongmen Banquet that let the bullets fly, the camera has been revolving around the two.
I personally think that there is another attractive point that this drama gives people the feeling of restraint in all aspects, actors' performances, photography, editing, like a low-key master, not showing off skills, just doing a little job well. It's beautiful, it's also to fit the plot, it's quite different from the spy dramas I've seen.
Also, I love the subtitle group so much, how did I find such an interesting drama~~~
