Premiere Watch: Good Job, Unicorn

Premiere Watch: Good Job, Unicorn

by missvictrix

Woo hoo, new dramas! ENA is about to drop their next show, hot on the heels of Extraordinary Attorney Woo’s success, and Coupang Play offers an office sitcom that looks as colorful as its name.

Good Job

Time slot: Wednesday-Thursday
Broadcaster: ENA
Genre: Rom-com, mystery
Episode count: 16

Reasons to watch: So many reasons to be excited about this one! It’s ENA’s next drop after the ginormous success of Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and we’ll get to see if they are as good at choosing projects as we might hope (or did they just get lucky with Woo?). But network aside, the real reason to watch is: a mystery rom-com full of hijinks starring my beloved Jung Il-woo and Yuri. And not only does it star them both, but their chemistry is proven in their prior project together — Bossam: Steal the Fate. To be honest, all they really needed to say was “Jung Il-woo” for me to be interested, but I’m actually really excited for this goofy-looking detective story, with a hot romance and superpowers thrown in. ‘Cause why not.

TL;DR: Jung Il-woo, Jung Il-woo + Yuri Bossam reunion, Jung Il-woo, fun hijinks, glasses fashion, and also Jung Il-woo

Unicorn

Time slot: Fridays
Broadcaster: Coupang Play
Genre: Sitcom
Episode count: 12

Reasons to watch: Shin Ha-kyun’s drama choices garner attention for a reason, so it’ll be interesting to see how Unicorn turns out — not only being on a smaller OTT service, but also being a sitcom. Now, sitcoms are 100% Not My Thing, but even I will admit this drama has a lot going for it, from the cast (which also includes Won Jin-ah, Lee Yoo-jin, Kim Young-ah, and more) to the PD of Be Melodramtic to Yoo Byung-jae being our script writer. The promo materials have also been pitch-perfectly cringey, so I’m hoping they go all-in with their satire here.

TL;DR: Great cast, funny premise, the rare unicorn that is a primetime sitcom
