The Story
When a burnt-out company sales team leader suddenly wins the lottery, he thinks things will change drastically. But when he has a hard time figuring out what to do with the money, he decides to just hold on to it and continue his normal life. He soon discovers that money equals a different kind of freedom than he had ever predicted. And as he becomes bolder in his business choices and personal relationships, he learns that the most important changes of all can come from within.
Should I Watch
'The Ordinary Jackpot' is a unique office drama that focuses on in-depth dialogue and interpersonal relationships. It is a slice-of-life style business drama that revolves around normal work experiences in a high-pressure job and a man's journey to gain back his own self-worth. It's pace is slow and quietly consistent. The writing is excellent and the cast have a great casual chemistry.
But this is definitely a niche drama. Slice-of-life pacing is not for everyone and the heavy dialogue in this one may scare off fans looking for a quick, light watch. The plot revolves around subtle shifts and clever irony that are easy to miss if you aren't paying close attention. But I love this kind of deep, philosophical drama. I give 'The Ordinary Jackpot' a 4 out of 5 ramen.
