TV Review: A Virtuous Business (2024) (Comedy-Drama)

A Virtuous Business (정숙한 세일즈)
2024
12 episodes
M
Comedy-Drama
Netflix

In search of purpose, opportunity and independence, four rural women start an adult products business in 1992 — embarking on a journey of self-discovery. (Synopsis)

A Virtuous Business started well. The storyline of a group of women (each struggling in their own way) coming together and trying to face down the prejudice against the items they were selling was compelling and offered moments of comedy interspersed with emotional drama. I thought the plot lost its way a little in the second half, though, when secondary plot points overtook the main drama. These other plotlines were not bad, but they felt more stale than the main plot and therefore less captivating, as you could already guess where they would go. This affected the pacing and made some of the later episodes feel a bit more plodding and lacking in action. Overall, though, it was still enjoyable even with a few flaws and I am giving it 4 stars.
