What does it really mean to be 'good at your job'?

Good morning.
I binge-watched the Korean drama "Good Partner" over the weekend.
I started watching it because I like the actress Nam Ji-hyun and prefer legal or police dramas over romantic comedies, and I finished it quickly.

Han Yu-ri, who lands a job at a major law firm in South Korea, is assigned to the "divorce team" instead of her preferred department. Although initially dissatisfied, she grows in the legal field while being encouraged and scolded by her charismatic senior, Cha Eun-kyung.

That is a very simplified summary (lol).

What is interesting is that the drama focuses exclusively on "divorce mediation" and "divorce trials."
While divorce mediation in Japan and South Korea has some differences, the patriarchal system still strongly influences things, and despite the narrow focus, it was full of wit.

In addition to complex work cases involving emotionally abusive husbands, late-life divorces, and infidelity, Eun-kyung herself struggles with her husband's affair while fighting alone for her daughter.
It depicts how Yu-ri and Eun-kyung, who initially clash, eventually become "one-of-a-kind good partners." I think it would be interesting if it were remade in Japan (lol). How about Yuki Amami for the role of Eun-kyung and Tao Tsuchiya for the role of Yu-ri?

I think being a lawyer is a very complex job.
The desire to make the client win, the need to discern the truth, and the pursuit of profit...
This charismatic lawyer, Eun-kyung, is incredibly sharp in those areas, so it is refreshing to watch. (Though she does have some personality flaws, haha.)

What kind of person do you think is "good at their job"?

I believe it is someone who can approach things by balancing imagination and a bird's-eye view. Unfortunately, I think work tends to go more smoothly if you suppress your emotional side a little...

Since I started my own business, I have stopped showing my emotions openly.
I have learned from experience that it rarely produces good results.
However, I do want to show my emotional side to my precious family and friends.
I feel that the phrase "mixing business with pleasure" is well-coined.

If you are interested, please watch "Good Partner."

I hope you have a healthy day today as well.
Tsurokao
