The Korean dramas on air this year have mostly been supercharged stories that are, more often than not, light on resolution. Today’s Webtoon – though hardly the most challenging series we have seen in 2022 – proved to be a refreshing antidote, tying up its run with a pleasantly neat ending over the weekend.

Ex-judo athlete Oh Ma-eum (Business Proposal’s Kim Se-jeong) began the season as an unlikely new temp worker in the struggling webtoon division of the larger Neon tech conglomerate. The underperforming department was not even housed in the main Neon complex.

The year and season that followed were a test for her as she sought a permanent post, and for Neon Webtoon – which had to prove its own value in the same time frame, or close up shop.

To no one’s surprise, happy endings were forthcoming for everyone – but what made the show worthwhile was the journey to get there and the growth along the way.
