Need more convincing? Here are five reasons why Malaysians should watch MyOfis when it drops exclusively on iQiyi on 26 May 2022.
Relatable Storyline: The Dream vs A Stable Job
Our main character Jasper was forced to push his dream of becoming a rockstar aside to support his elderly single mother and pursue a corporate job instead.Something most people can relate to, with the rise of social media, many of us dream of making it big as a social media influencer or even popular singers or actors. The harsh reality is, only the best with a tad of luck on their side make it to stardom while the rest of us will need to make ends meet with a stable job to pay the bills.
Attractive Leads & Amazing Cast Chemistry
Visuals everywhere! The stellar cast of MyOfis are not just talented but they’re also very good-looking. With heartthrobs Aeril Zafrel and Kahoe Hon starring in the drama, it’s enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen. Viewers will definitely enjoy the superb chemistry among the cast too. Each character represents a Malaysian workplace colleague stereotype and the interactions between them are not just retable but extremely fun to watch.
Malaysian Workplace Humour
With Malaysians returning to the office after 2 years, MyOfis is a breath of fresh air for viewers with its main setting being at the workplace. Made by Malaysians for Malaysians, the drama showcases the typical Malaysian work culture with a light-hearted twist and comedic elements that are in tune with Malaysians’ sense of humour. With just a runtime of only 30 minutes per episode, MyOfis is a must-watch to relax and unwind after a long day at work.
Compelling Main Character
As a newbie in working life and the “new guy” in the office, Jasper struggles to adapt to the new work environment and naturally isn’t very good at handling various tasks or workplace situations. However, he learns quickly and we see him for who he is - a hard-worker who strives to do his best. Everyone has been the “new guy” once. Hence it’s easy to empathise with Jasper as he navigates the numerous challenges thrown in his way and once he succeeds, viewers will feel equally as proud as if they’ve succeeded too!
A tinge of Romance
Everyone loves a good love story, especially if it’s something as scandalous as office romance! While love may not be the main focus in MyOfis, the relationships among the characters is something viewers can look forward to. The platonic relationships are also a joy to watch and will warm your heart as Jaspers’ colleagues slowly warm up to him and help him feel accepted in his new workplace with their kindness.
