I just finished watching Harassment Game and what a great series it is. If I have to compare Harassment Game to another jdorama, it would be Dandarin which was about being a public servant and labour laws.
They are both very similar because they are about upholding certain laws which are normally ignored in the Japanese workforce.
I love how the show says so many things about society. That there is a fine line between perpetrator and victim with harassment accusations. That if we live in constant fear of being accessed of harassing, we will never say what we think.
That one must not be afraid of being disliked in doing one's job and that no one likes hearing bad news but it is always better to be honest. That the most important part of leadership is trusting the people below you and their counsel.
I really enjoyed watching this peek into compliance work.
I was waiting for the story to fall apart but they closed up up with a very exciting finish.
While I enjoyed Harassment Game very much and have absolutely zero complaints, somehow I don't love it enough to give it a must watch. This is as close as a show can get to must watch status without going over the border.
Recommend everyone give it a try.
Yay, thanks for recommending this show. If it hadn't been your review, I would never have thought of checking this out. Love the way the show comments on many aspects of the society without going overboard with those sentimental speech crap.
ReplyDelete@Buck: Glad you gave it a try. Its not often we get good social commentary jdoramas.
