Will 'Awl' Be The New 'Misaeng?'

A drama about surviving in a cruel and difficult workplace did not seem a likely bet at gaining viewer attention but last year's cable drama "Misaeng" won both praise, ratings and awards. The drama about a temporary worker doing everything he could to attain a permanent position caught on with young workers who knew what it was like to struggle to get ahead. Can such k-drama success happen again?  read more at kdramastars

Episode 1 sets the foundation for us to understand Lee Soo In's make-up as an individual.  It starts in the present with several flashbacks into the past.  He has experienced difficulties throughout his life, at home, in the military, in school, at the military academy.  He is quiet and tries to stay to himself, but he cannot let injustice go without stepping in.

As expected the drama follows the webtoon very closely.  The actors all look like their comic counterparts.  Even the younger Lee Soo In could have been a younger Ji Hyun Woo.  When he speaks out for another kid being bullied, he is the one who ends up in the teacher's office, getting beaten with the stick.  Eventually his Mom submits to the pressure and discreetly makes a "donation".

He speaks out at an assembly at the military academy.  I believe he disagreed with some action they were being told to do.  Though some cadets support him with clapping, he ends up getting his room trashed and porn planted.  I don't think the broken leg was on purpose.  It looked like he was just distracted, though I could be wrong.

The ratings are out, and look! Awl's pilot rating surprised me! While I predicted that it will definitely get at least 1%, I have never expected that it will get higher than that, considering the ratings of most recent JTBC Dramas. Besides, It is the 10th most watched General Cable Program yesterday according to AGB Nielsen! Hooray!

OST is great! i think it's Dong-Hyub's actor who sang it.

I'm so excited for Yesung. can't wait to see how Gang-Min, Joon-Chul, and Dong-Hyub's relationship would develop farther.

i'm glad that in ep1, drama gives us background to Soo-In, the main, without being boring. 

it's always important to set up the main character, especially when we have only 12 episodes.

most importantly, so far i like Soo-In! =D

the episode 2 preview was so much WOW.

do they have English sub for AWL yet? i hope viki gets it licensed.

Who is the actor playing young Lee Soo In in school? His voice and eye expressions reminds me of Yeo Jingoo. But I searched everywhere and I couldn't find who the actor is. Same with the actor who played Lee Soo In's dad, who is he? He looks like a veteran actor and familiar, like I've seen him in some movies or something but I can't remember it.

[Spoilers] Awl (PILOT)

Osen - Naver: 'Awl', The best masterpiece after 'Misaeng'

1. [+5,854, -130] Drama that genuinely criticizes the society

2. [+4,044, -115] This is really the best! And the cast is so good at acting!! The best!!

3. [+3,508, -128] I love the OST! 'Awl' is daebak

4. [+2,737, -85] This drama's really good!!!!!

5. [+422, -14] The first episode recorded over 2% in ratings ㅋㅋㅋㅋㄱ I'm impressed

6. [+443, -42] Dramas like this wouldn't normally air on JTBC... What could be their intention? Did Seon Sukhee change JTBC? This is very unusual

Naver 
7. [+3,100, -50] Ohh.. This drama is good

8. [+2,771, -72] I wish there will be more dramas like 'Awl' in the future.  Long live JTBC

9. [+2,685, -44] The mood is serious but the plot is really interesting

10. [+2,142, -37] Society is a scary place....

11. [+583, -16]  Wow!!!!!!! His line and facial expression in the last part!!!! "Try getting rid of me"!!!!! 'Awl' is looking to be daebak

12. [+487, -10] He is so similar to the webtoon character.. I never thought they could find one that would portray the character perfectly

13. [+462, -13] Ji Hyun Woo's acting is phenomenal. I'm looking forward to more of Ahn Nae Sang's scenes!! As expected from the 'Old Miss Diary' director

Nate
1. [+501, -6] The webtoon itself is also a work of art. Since this is made into the drama, I'm expecting its ripple effects to be much bigger. I hope it will bring a much needed awareness of labor issues in our society. Maintain this quality and become as successful as 'Misaeng'

2. [+469, -8] Ahn Naesang seemed as if he stepped out of the webtoon. Politician bastards, please watch this

3. [+364, -5] Goosebumps.. 'Awl' finally gets its drama adaptationㅠㅠㅠㅠ Jjang

4. [+22,  0] The drama's totally good!!! Please hit daebak~~ 'Awl' puts the kimchi-slap makjangs on public channels to shame

5. [+22, -1] Ji Hyun Woo's 100% in sync with his character

6. [+19, 0] Our society needs more dramas of this kind...It looks like it's going to be the next big hit after 'Misaeng'
