"The Auditors" Is A South Korean Drama Involving Corporate Corruption


I've been obsessing over South Korean legal dramas. This time, it's The Auditors. The plot deals with auditors and corporate corruption. It may remind some of Love Story in Harvard where legal matters were added. It doesn't have romance as a plot. Instead, it's all about investigating corporate corruption within JU Construction. It also talks about business ethics. It can make you ask the question, "Are you willing to have a quick profit at the cost of others?"

The main character Shin Ah Il (Shin Ka Hyun) is a sharp loner. The other auditors are Goo Han Soo (Lee Jung Ha) as a rookie employee and Yeon Seo Jin (Jo A Ram). Fortunately, A Ram isn't used for eye candy and contributes to the plot. The team gets involved with a family feud. Jing Woo delightfully plays the main villain Hwang Dae Woong -- a man who harmed his own two older siblings just so he could slowly take over. Corporate corruption has caused many lives -- both employees and customers alike.

The plots can stir my mind. What if the person you thought was nice wasn't? How does money laundering work? The plot moves in a not-so-predictable turn. There are a lot of criminal activities that are to be uncovered. It was interesting to see auditors instead of policemen as the main characters. Sure, there are policemen involved but they're pretty much sidelined -- in favor of the auditors.
