Misaeng (Hangul: 미생 - 아직 살아 있지 못한 자; RR: Misaeng - Ajik sala ittji mothan ja) is a 2014 South Korean television series based on the webtoon series of the same title by Yoon Tae-ho. It aired on tvN from October 17 to December 20, 2014 on Fridays and Saturdays at 20:30 for 20 episodes.
The title translates to "an incomplete life" (literally "not yet" (미) "birth" (생), meaning "not yet alive"). Misaeng was the first Korean drama to film on location in Jordan, where actors Yim Si-wan and Lee Sung-min shot the series's prologue in Amman, Petra, and Wadi Rum. Yim reprised his role as Misaeng's protagonist, which he played in an earlier film adaptation, Incomplete Life: Prequel (2013).
Misaeng became a cultural phenomenon and recorded high viewership ratings for a cable network program in Korea.
Since he was a child, the board game baduk has been everything to Jang Geu-rae. But when he fails at achieving his dream of becoming a professional baduk player, Geu-rae must leave his isolated existence and enter the real world armed with nothing but a high school equivalency exam on his resume. Through an acquaintance's recommendation, he gets hired as an intern at One International, a large trading company.
There, Geu-rae meets his boss, manager Oh Sang-shik, who's a workaholic and has a warm personality; fellow intern Ahn Young-yi, who attracts her colleagues' ire because of her impressive educational credentials and by being extremely competent at any task; and Jang Baek-gi, a geeky co-worker whose anxious nature masks his inner ambition. Geu-rae learns to navigate and adapt to corporate culture, with baduk as his guide.
