Plot : 

A woman struggles to find a career, but finally lands a job as a secretary. She then falls in love with her handsome boss ...

Eun-Sul (Choi Gang-Hee) applies for job after job, but is passed over because she graduated from a third-rate university and doesn't possess a sparkling resume. In high school, Eun-Sul was notorious for fighting and fighting well. Then one day she decided to live her life the right way. She started to study hard and was able to pass a university entrance exam, even though the university wasn't prestigious. While attending university, Eun-Sul continued to study hard and also worked part-time jobs to pay her tuition fees. Now out in the real world, Eun-Sul finds landing a job extremely difficult.

One day, Eun-Sul receives a phone call and is informed she got the job. Eun-Sul becomes elated, but unbeknownst to her, the company that hired her is a loan sharking firm.

Ji-Hun (Ji Sung) seems to be the perfect guy. He is from a wealthy family, is physically attractive, and works for the company which his father runs. But actually, Ji-Hun isn't interested in the family's company. Ji-Hun is also frightened to speak in front of others and being around strangers. He has ochlophobia - a fear of crowds, as well as agoraphobia - a fear of having a panic attack and embarrassing oneself. Neither his father nor his grandmother (played by legendary veteran actress Kim Young-Ok) know of his condition. Ji-Hun isn't social because of his phobia and doesn't associate with others at the company. He's also a germaphobe, and appears to be developing more neuroses as manifestations of the anxiety he feels over working for his father, whose main style of parenting, and living, is bullying.

Bullying is nothing new to president Cha (Park Yeong-Gyu). His brother's widow, Shin Sook-Hee (Cha Hwa-Yeon), still blames him for her husband's death, due to how hard president Cha made things for the deceased. Though the two of them keep up the appearance of filial love, the only thing they want from each other is to see the other one fail, die, or both. Her son is Moo-Won (Youngwoong Jaejoong), a hard-working and conscientious junior executive in the company who seems only to want the company to do well, and is willing to pick up the slack left by Ji-Hun's failings. However, something about Moo-Won also seems a little too good to be true.

Eun-Sul has a get-together with her new employers at a bar after her first day at work. She quickly becomes enraged when her boss makes sexual passes at her and a fellow female employee. She reaches her tipping point when she sees her boss accosting her co-worker. Eun-Sul then follows her boss into the men's restroom and proceeds to tie her boss, by his necktie, to the bathroom sink.

Ji-Hun also arrives at the same bar for a get-together with his co-workers. Ji-Hun then bumps into Eun-Sul as she is leaving the bar, drops his cellphone, and becomes angry. He starts arguing with Eun-Sul, when Eun-Sul's gangster employers come rushing after her. Eun-Sul is able to fight off the gangsters and make her escape, but leaves Ji-Hun behind. Ji-Hun, left alone with the gangsters, is beaten up.

When Ji-Hun goes back home his father notices the cuts and bruises on his son's face. Ji-Hun's father goes to the gangster's office and proceeds to beat them up. The case then is picked up by the media and Ji-Hun's father is sentenced to do community service. The media coverage also damages their family business.

Ji-Hun's company then holds an interview to hire Ji-Hun a new secretary. Eun-Sul arrives at the interview with other applicants, but is ignored by her interviewers because of her poor qualifications. Angered by their lack of questions, Eun-Sul proceeds to criticize them before leaving. Eun-Sul is certain she won't be hired, but is later stunned when she actually gets the job. Eun-Sul learns afterwards that one of her interviewers, Moo-Won, recommended her. Now she finds herself as the tough but hard-working low-class girl in a pool of elitist ivy-league executive secretaries. Despite these difficulties, she also quickly earns the favor and trust of president Cha through her forthrightness and honesty.

On Eun-Sul's first day at her new job she meets her boss Ji-Hun, but both of them fail to recognize each other from the nightclub. Ji-Hun is perturbed that his cousin Moo-Won picked Eun-Sul as his secretary and proceeds to give Eun-Sul a hard time, hoping she will quit. Ji-Hun quickly discovers that Eun-Sul is persistent. Meanwhile, Eun-Sul quickly discovers that president Cha's assault case and all the headaches that come with it are fallout from the brawl she started with her former employers.

One day in the elevator Ji-Hun's father becomes angered and starts to hit Ji-Hun. Eun-Sul then jumps in between the two men and tells Ji-Hun's father that she has to protect her boss. Since that moment Ji-Hun starts giving Eun-Sul less of a hard time and to rely on her more and more...

Komen gw...
Nonton serial ini gegara rekomendasi beberapa temen yg bilang lucuuu....lagi nyari yg seger2 setelah beberapa kali nonton serial pendek yg lucu meskipun teteuuuup ada sedih2nya, tp overall mayanlah buat hiburan...
Gara2 mantengin kdrama ini gw terpaksa ninggalin serial laen yg lagi gw tonton...dan ini komentar singkat gw...

Overall cerita cinderela gitu deh...kisah seorang cewe biasa2 aja (klo ga bisa dibilang miskin) yg disukai 2 orang cowo tajir n mapan, eksmud...Si cewe, Eun Seol  ini tadinya pengangguran yg hobi banget berantem, di mana pun dan kapan pun, apalagi klo namanya digangguin...jaman skul aja udah jadi jagoan booo, yg gak takut apapun...Dia akhirnya diterima di perusahaan Ji Heon pun gegera keberaniannya itu :)

Si Ji Heon ini anak bos yg bener2 semau gue n ngga bisa diharepin, nah Eun Seol yg apply jadi sekretaris ini diterima utk ngebenahin kelakuan Ji Heon. Jelaslah terjadi tarik ulur kepentingan. Dan paling demen klo mereka lagi gedubrakan pas berantem wkwkwkwk...gokil banget. Penasaran gw gimana bikin adegan spontan kek gitu, kek original...Dari interaksi mereka lama2 Ji Heon malah jatuh tiba alias demen ma si secretary...

Dan ngga disangka ngga diduga, sodara sepupunya, Moo Won yg menerima Eun Seol pun ternyata suka juga. Gubrax!! Bersainglah mereka. Oya, Ji Heon ini punya phobia-ketakutan di tengah keramaian, termasuk klo berbicara di depan publik, di mana dia menjadi pusat perhatian.

Seperti pada umumnyaaa...cerita gokil awalnya pun ngga selamanya gokil2an muluuu...tetep ada saat2 sedihnya...dan selanjutnya silakan lanjutkan ndiri hehehehe...

Worthed kok, meski ceritanya sama sekali ngga berat, tapi juga ngga enteng2 amat. hhhmmm...cuma rasanya ini serial k-drama yg nurut gw ga terlalu mengekspos pekerjaan pemain utamanya. Gw agak bingung ma review2 resmi, katanya perush bokap Ji Heon Law Firm, tp kok gw ngrasa engga yaaahhh...ga tau deh, jenis usahanya ngga jelas buat gw. Yg jelas perush keluarga, yg ada persaingan utk jadi pimpinan di antara bokap Ji Heon dan iparnya.

Dan spt biasa serial k-drama selalu ada sesuatu gitu dehhh, ngga kek sinet2 sini, yg adanya cuma racun meracun, balas dendam tak berkesudahan...ampe ngga ketauan inti ceritanya...upsss...pokok serial atu ini alurnya enaklah buat diikutin...:)

dan klo mo dunlot ostnya, silakan dunlot di sini juga

Nilai gw buat serial ini : 8/10 

Sharing : Pasporku Jadi...:)

Setelah seminggu menunggu....akhirnya hari ini 5 Agustus 2011 perpanjangan paspor gw jadi...yeyyyyy....

Tapi berhubung tadinya masih belom yakin, gw nanya seorang temen salah satu milis yg kebetulan kerja di Imigrasi Jakarta (Barat, keknya). Dia kasih tau biasanya klo petugasnya udah bilang tanggal yg disebut ya udah bisa diambil. Tapi untuk kepastiannya, gw disuruh telp ke Imigrasi ato cek website imigrasi, dg memasukkan kode permohonan paspor.

Sesuai petunjuk, gw masukkin juga kode permohonan paspor setelah ngubek2 dg agak2 pusing di web imigrasi itu, abis banyak banget link-na, gatau mana yg harus diklik. Akhirnya iseng gw klik yang Layanan Publik dan klik Layanan Paspor Online. Disitu ada beberapa pilihan. Waktu gw masukin kodenya...taraaaaa...akhirnya nongol juga status : SERAHKAN PASPOR. Ga yakin, gw nanya lagi, apa artinya paspor udah jadi? Dijawab : IYA...!!

Dengan semangat 45, akhirnya gw istirahat siang jam 13.00, biar bisa ambil tu paspor. Perjalanan yg lumayan melelahkan, 1 jam boooo dari kantor gw. Nyampe sana langsung menuju ke loket yg ditunjuk, ngga perlu ngambil no antrian ternyata. Disuruh duduk dulu, gw nunggu deh di kursi antrian. Ngga pake lama, kira2 20 menit gw disuruh tandatangan di bukti penerimaan paspor, sambil petugasnya bilang difotocopy di koperasi. Hmmm...agak lama nunggu di fotocopyan...ngantri ceritanyaa...ya udah...akhirnya selesai juga. Fotocopyan gw serahin ke petugasnya dan gw pulaaaaaaaaannnggg....Yipiiiieee...seneng banget bisa perpanjang paspor by myself hihihi...*edisi norak*. 

Oya, pas gw ngantri, gw liat ternyata orangnya ga begitu banyak...ngga tau karena ini bulan puasa ato karena hari Jumat. Di 2 loket laen (loket penyerahan berkas n loket pembayaran) ada tulisan TUTUP. Ngga nanya dan ngga jelas emang udah tutup ato emang lagi istirahat, soalnya kan di pintu ditulis jam pelayanan mpe jam 16.00 kan? Tapi sutralah yg penting urusan gw udah beres...Truz klo ada yg butuh info ini, gw saranin ngantre untuk apapun (kecuali penyerahan paspor yang emang harus siang) lebih baik datang awal deh, klo perlu sebelum jam kerja mereka kek gw...wkwkwkwk....

Yg ga kalah penting, klo ada yg butuh cap2 di paspor lama, paspor lamanya harus ditanyain juga, soalnya klo perpanjang sendiri biasanya nggak dikembaliin. Katanya klo lewat calo biasa dikembaliin. Kata temen gw ada form-nya, cuma gw engga tau harus bayar ato nggak. Ada yg bilang harus bayar, ada yg bilang cuma isi form doang. Berhubung paspor lama gw ngga banyak cap2nya ya gw ikhlasin aja ngga gw minta balik...

Sharing bikin paspor di Kanim Semarang

Lama ngga update blog neh...abis rasanya emang ngga ada waktu hiks...hiksss...ampe bingung apa yg mesti ditulis...ya udah kali ini gw mo sharing pas gw perpanjang paspor beberapa hari lalu...

Hari Selasa, 26 Juli 2011 kemarin gw memutuskan perpanjang paspor gw yg udah habis masa berlakunya sejak bulan Mei taon lalu. Berhubung ngga ada rencana pergi (eh sebenernya ada dink waktu bulan Mei kemarin tp udah gw batalin beberapa saat sebelumnya), gw ngga perlu buru2 bikin perpanjangan. Alasan utamanya sebenernya krn gw syusssssaaah ijin, krn klo urus sendiri kan harus bolak balik, otomatis harus ijin lebih dari 1x. Sejak tau klo urus sendiri ngga sesulit yg gw bayangkan sebelumnya, gw putusin utk urus sendiri. Apalagi klo lewat jasa sekarang harganya udah 2x dari harga resmi. Sayang aja sih, mending duitnya buat nombok2 beli tiket ato mata uang asing xixixixi...*pelitmodeon*. Sebenernya bukan pelit sih, tp paling ngga gw udah menjalankan misi pemerintah utk membebaskan layanan publik dari para calo kan? heheh...Seandainya petugasnya juga mengimbanginya dg kinerja yg samaaaa....Nah pas kebetulan, gw  juga sekalian urus KTP dan pembaharuan KK, makanya gw pake alasan itu utk cari info. Pertama kali cari info syarat2 plus beli formulirnya dan kemarin pengajuannya.

Kronologi pengajuannya kek gini...Gw udah nyampe Kantor Imigrasi  Semarang di jl. Siliwangi dari jam 8 kurang. Meski di pintu masuk tertulis jadwal jam pelayanan mulai jam 7.30, tapi teteupppp aja jam kerja resmi mulai jam 8.00. Ya udah nunggu aja...pas buka2 map, omaigad, ternyata formulirnya belom gw isi samsek. Aduh kok bisa lupa gini sih? Jadi ceritanya gw cuma bawa berkas2 dan udah gw taruh map khusus yg beli di koperasi Kantor Imigrasi situ. Harga formulirnya Rp 11.500,--.
 

Syarat2 yg harus disiapin yaitu :

1. Akte Kelahiran
2. KTP
3. Kartu Keluarga
4. Surat Referensi Kerja (bagi karyawan/ABRI/PNS)
5. SBKRI dan Ganti nama (klo WNI keturunan)
6. Akte Nikah (klo sudah menikah)
7. Paspor Lama (klo perpanjangan)
8. Buku Pelaut (bagi ABK)

Semua berkas ini difotokopi termasuk Paspor lama, kecuali SBKRI (krn hanya diliat/dicocokkin, meskipun ini tergantung petugasnya, krn temen gw di Jakarta ngga perlu bawa SBKRI). Oya fotocopy KTP harus bolak balik dan diletakkan dalam 1 folio HVS.

Berhubung petugas belum siap, nunggulah gw bersama beberapa orang laen yg juga sudah mengantre. Begitu petugasnya nongol dan mulai bekerja tepat jam 8 teng...gw langsung ambil nomer antrian. Dapet no 1 boooo...utk pemeriksaan berkas. Krn ngga ada dlm syarat, gw blom fc paspor lama. Pas pemeriksaan berkas gw disuruh fotocopy dulu. Trus petugasnya memeriksa berkas gw, kecuali ganti nama yg laen diliat aslinya. Gw udah deg2an klo minta ganti nama asli, secara berkas itu ilang waktu ngurus surat nikah kakak gw. Aduuuuhhh...gatau kecerobohan gimana tuh, sampe sekarang ngga ketemu !! Pas petugasnya memeriksa akte lahir dan ganti nama gw, belio minta SBKRI gw. Untung udah gw siapin neh...klo kaga apa gw mesti  pulang dulu ye? dduuuhhh...pak...pak...katanya klo WNI udah ngga butuh SBKRI, ternyataaaaa.......tetep dibeda2in toh? :( Ya udah gpp, asal smuanya lancar gw mah ngga ngaruh. 

Selesai itu udah gw dikasih semacam tanda terima dan disuruh balik lagi utk bayar, wawancara dan foto tangggggaaaaaaaaaaalll...28 Juli 2011, gubrax ngga seh? Sesaat gw bengong, kok cepet banget? Ini emang sepi ato emang cepet? Soalnya rata2 sharing yg gw denger biasanya nyampe seminggu baru disuruh balek lagi. Ya udah...berarti gw harus ijin lagi (ngga enak banget, karena waktunya deket....) hhhmmmm...enaknya alasan apa yah? hehehe...ternyata gw nemu alasan yg dikit tipu2 heheheh...*ampuni aku ya Tuhan*.  Di hari pertama ini gw selesai jam 8.30...

Hari Kamis, 28 Juli 2011 gw berangkat pagi2 jam 7an lebih, tujuannya supaya cepet dunk....ternyata nyampe sana jam 7.30 lebih dikit dan tentu aja masih sepi...malah lebih sepi dari hari pertama gw dateng. Masih ada 3 orang, yg 2 udah mo wawancara kek gw, yg 1 lagi tanya2 syarat bikin paspor. Teng-teng jam 8 blom ada tanda2 siap2 bagian loket pembayaran, tapi bagian antre udah mulai bekerja. Kita yg mo bayar harus ngantre ambil berkas utk diserahkan ke loket pembayaran. Kita ambil di loket paling pojok (ga ada nomernya), trus ambil no antrian utk loket 2 (loket pembayaran). 

Kali ini gw dapet no 7, tentunya ngga lama kan? Iyaaaa...klo ngga nunggu xixixixixi...Tunggu punya tunggu, eh petugasnya malah kerjanya sante, obrol sana obrol sini, ngrumpi2, ketawa ketiwi sesama teman, nyalain komputer...aaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhh...gw udah pengin bantuin mrk aja...tapi clingak clinguk keknya yg laen diem2 aja tenang2 nunggu, malah asyik baca koran ato nonton tipi...oh NO!! Sementara gw udah gelisah krn ngga mau ijin lama2 sebenernya...terpaksa terpaku di kursi tunggu !! omaigad...seandainya para petugas itu beneran kerja kek jadwal yg ditempel di pintuuuuu...ato paling ngga kek petugas yg cek berkasssss.....

Sebenernya waktu hari pertama gw dateng maren tu gw udah ngebatin kok yg di loket 2 ini mpe gw pulang belom2 ada orangnya sih? Berhubung butuh ya udah, gw tunggu...akhirnya jam 8.30an nomer 1 mulai dipanggil...lumayan cepet, blom sampe jam 9 gw udah selesai. Abis pembayaran Rp. 255.000,-- gw disuruh antri utk foto dan wawancara. Ngga lama kemudian sesi foto dimulai dan nomer antrian gw pun nyampe (masih pake no antrian waktu ke loket pembayaran). Di dalam nunggu bentar, akhirnya cepret2 jadilah foto gw plus cap sidik jari xixixixixi...Abis itu nunggu wawancara. 

Di sini agak lamaan, karena waktu gw abis foto yg nomer antrian 1 aja blom dipanggil2. Uuuuhhh udah gelisah lagi...Lega waktu no 1 dipanggil, krn harapannya cepet ke nomer gw. Wawancara rata2 sekitar 10menit, akhirnya nyampe juga giliran gw. Eh, krn gw perpanjangan jadi ngga perlu lewat proses screening kaleeee...gw cuma dicek nama dan disuruh tandatangan. Ngga ada ditanya apa2. Ya udah, ngga nyampe 5 menit gw udah kluar. 

Cari info ke petugas antrian kapan ambil paspornya, gw disuruh nanya ke petugas tempat gw ambil berkas tadi. Kata petugasnya sekitar 6 hari kerja, jam 2 siang-an, so sekitar tg 5 Agustus 2011, sambil bawa bukti pembayaran paspor tadi. Ya udah gw pulang. Hari kedua ini gw selesai jam 9.30. Duhhh...seandainya petugasnya lebih cepat, mestinya jam 8.30 gw udah bisa cabut neh paakkkk....Ya sutralah, krn emang image pegawai pemerintah kek gitu terpaksa mau ga mau ya diterima ajaahhh...Oya pas gw keluar dari ruang foto ternyata yg antre udah berlerot2...

Berhubung pas gw nulis ini gw belom ambil paspornya ya ceritanya sampe sekian dulu...ntar gw sharing lagi klo paspornya udah jadi. Gw udah nanya temen katanya sih klo ambil biasanya ngga lama, meski tergantung antrian juga dan juga ambilnya emang siang2 sesudah jam 12.00...
