\u201cFun but Exaggerated? Diving into The Story of Manager Kim\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

\ud83d\udd37 Introduction<\/h3>\n\n

Lately, many people have been enjoying the \u2018The Story of Manager Kim\u2019 webtoon<\/strong>.Both the book and the webtoon are deeply moving,but there are moments that make you think, \u201cCould that really happen in real life?\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Of course, webtoons are a genre where unrealistic setups are expected<\/strong>,and we read them to gain emotion, insight, and wisdom<\/strong>.However, when the gap with reality is too wide, it can sometimes be a bit confusing.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Today, I\u2019ve put together a light summary of the unrealistic elements in The Story of Manager Kim webtoon<\/strong>.If you feel differently about anything, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments! \ud83d\ude0a(Note: This post is just for fun and is not intended to disparage the comic or the novel in any way.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

\ud83d\udd37 1. Everyone Around Him Is an Investment Genius!? <\/h3>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Manager Kim works at a major corporation,but surprisingly, everyone around him has a **\u2018Midas touch\u2019 when it comes to investing**.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • His wife is practically a real estate expert.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • His subordinate gives investment advice to Manager Choi and the Executive Director.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • His friend is a successful investor with significant assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    \ud83d\udc49 However, the idea that such an investment-savvy subordinate would still be at the company<\/strong>is a bit rare in the real world.<\/p>\n\n

    Of course, there are exceptions.There are people like the YouTuber \u2018Neonawi\u2019who keep their jobs even while earning over 10 million won a month<\/strong>.As Jacheong says, it might be because of a unique, almost \u201ceccentric\u201d set of values! \ud83e\udd23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    Still, in reality, having everyone around you be a successful investor<\/strong>is bound to feel a bit unrealistic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    \ud83d\udd37 2. A Big Corp Manager Getting Scammed This Easily? <\/h3>\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n

    The episode where Manager Kim gets scammed is somethingmany readers relate to, yet question in terms of realism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • By the time someone reaches the rank of manager, they usually have a good eye for people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Signing a contract without even reading it properly, just based on trust…<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      \ud83d\udc49 In reality, this goes beyond carelessness and makes his rank and experience at a major corporation seem meaningless<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      Of course, the purpose of this scene is<\/p>\n\n

      \n

      to deliver the message that \u201cif you jump into investing based on emotional judgment during tough economic times, the chance of failure is high.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

      So while it\u2019s a fictional element,I think it also carries a surprisingly realistic lesson.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      \n\n

      \ud83d\udd37 Wrapping Up \u00b7 There\u2019s Still So Much to Learn from Manager Kim<\/h3>\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n

      Despite the unrealistic elements,The Story of Manager Kim remains a work that offers great relatability and insight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • The way the parent generation expresses emotions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The illusion of a stable job<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • People-centered values<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Self-insight through character analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        And above all…you can feel the \u2018sincerity\u2019 within the narrative.<\/p>\n\n

        I haven\u2019t finished it yet,but I\u2019m so curious to see what choices Manager Kim makesand how he grows in the end \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n

        Has anyone seen the ending yet?If you give me a little hint in the comments… I\u2019ll read it even more diligently! \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n
