Unusual jobs in 4 ongoing K-dramas: Park Min Young makes a living by getting into multiple marriages
These K-dramas that are on air right now introduce us to some of the most unique jobs.
The Law Cafe
The two main characters in “The Law Cafe” are lawyer and prosecutor, which are not at all strange careers. However, the way these legal personnels work is what makes their jobs special. Instead of working at a law firm as usual, the female lead character played by Lee Se Young decides to combine her main job with the coffee business.
This is not exactly a double job, but the characters in “The Law Cafe” want to pursue fairness and transparency in law, so they want to bring justice to all their clients for the lowest price, with just a cup of coffee. It’s like they go to work for passion and beliefs, instead of money. This has partly made “The Law Cafe” stand out from the other legal K-dramas released this year.
If You Wish Upon Me
The main characters of “If You Wish Upon Me” take on jobs that people may call social workers or community workers. However, at the organization “Genie” in the story, the staff not only take care of the unfortunate and underprivileged people, but “Genie” is also the place where they make the last wishes of ill-fated people come true.
From taking care of them like family members to doing things that make them feel the happiest like going sightseeing, hanging out at the park or acting in a play, “If You Wish Upon Me” characters have not only unique but also most heartwarming jobs. Despite failing to record high ratings, “If You Wish Upon Me” has succeeded in conveying its meaningful message.
Mental Coach Jegal
Working as a therapist for athletes is not a new job in countries with a developed sports industry. Because an athlete needs to be strong both physically and mentally when training and competing. The male lead of “Mental Coach Jegal” (played by Jung Woo) is a former Taekwondo athlete who turns into a mental coach for athletes at the peak of their careers.
“Mental Coach Jegal” not only provides a deeper insight into this meaningful job, it also makes viewers ponder whether strict or gentle training will bring greater effectiveness in sports. This is also what makes “Mental Coach Jegal” different from other sports-themed K-dramas.
Love In Contract
Initially, when reading the summary of Love In Contract’s content, many viewers couldn’t figure out what exactly was the job of the female lead played by Park Min Young. It wasn’t until the first episode of the drama aired that netizens suddenly realized that the job was called “the fake wife”. This means that people will hire the female lead as a fake life-partner for a certain period of time for their own purposes. The main task of the female lead is to do as much as possible to satisfy the needs of her clients.
This job is like an upgraded version of hiring a fake girlfriend. However, in the near future, everything seems to be messed up, when the female lead has a crush on one of her clients which is an extremely taboo thing in this profession. In addition to seeing how Park Min Young will perform in a female owner’s work, many viewers also express their interest to find out what are the pros and cons of this”hired wife” job.
