Auction House Episode 1
Auction House starring Yoon So Yi and Jung Chan
Auction House is a drama set in the high-stakes world of auctioneers, and experiments with making a drama in an American style -- stand-alone episodes and a more episodic, multi-season storyline. Four directors and four writers rotated over the course of the series, each providing their own style. As a result, Auction House contains a mix of thriller, "human drama", detective story, and comedy elements. Headed by Yoon So Yi of Say You Love Me and Jung Chan of Lovers, Auction House is an entertaining drama about the world of high-stakes auctions. With millionaire clients, art forgeries, thefts, and inter-office romance, life at an auction house is never dull!
When Cha Yeon Soo (Yoon So Yi) applies for a job at Korea's top auction House, Hi Auction, and convinces them to hire her in spite of her inexperience, she has no idea what she's getting into. Confronted with demanding clients, high-maintenance bosses, and priceless artworks going missing as she tries to navigate the dangerous waters of her new job, she discovers that the high-profile auction house is a battleground.
The company, meanwhile, decides that she needs mentoring and assigns newly re-hired Oh Yoon Jae (Jung Chan) to work with her. A brilliant, irascible art specialist, he was fired years before after being accused of auction forgery. The cheerful, warm-hearted Yun Soo and the cynical, ruthless Yoon Jae have very different approaches to their job, but gradually they develop a mutual respect. Inspired by her cool, efficient boss, Min Soo Rin (Kim Hye Ri), Yeon Soo dreams of becoming an auctioneer. But when a dark secret that she's been hiding comes out, Yeon Soo's job is in jeopardy...

Sorry, I just could not keep my eyes opened for this drama. Story lines were just to far fetched. Stopped watching after 7 esp.

Interesting glimpse into the world of fine art auctioning. I do wonder why the female lead wants to go into fine art auctioning. All this stuff about her father doesn't make sense, since she did nothing to prepare herself for the job and except when directed by a coworker does nothing to develop her knowledge while on the job and seems to get by with luck. But then maybe recent college grads in Korea are like this? I'm only at ep 5 and don't have my usual urgency to watch the whole series at once. A better series on art and historic artifacts is "When it is at Night" - one of the best dramas I've seen.

I agree with some of the reviews, I think this was more of a series than a normal Korean Drama. I wished they had more episodes because the plots were really interesting and the main characters were awesome. This drama covered all the genres, a little horror, suspense, betrayal, love story, and "tug on your heartstring drama". Though all the episodes were really good, my favorite was the last one. TRY IT you won't be disappointed.

This kept my attention all the way through. You get a little detective case in each episode making it so that each hour of this show could stand alone and you won't be lost. Wasn't bogged down by side stories. Just enough back info on the main characters to want to root for them whatever they do.
