A Man's Man

Drama is definitely a main tag- from chapter one, the scene is set as something very emotional and dramatic.  An older man at the top, suffering from success... he's so busy, he's failed to make time for people who mattered to him, his wife has decided to leave him, his hand was forced by others in the past to do wrong things, a friend was tossed away and commited suicide.  It's definitely a mature read.  At the pinnacle of success, what was meant to be the best day of his life, it feels empty and he doesn't know where he went wrong.  Through circumstances, he ends up traveling back in time and being given a second chance.  Back to when he was 20 years old and a new employee instead of the CEO.  I feel that the summary doesn't do it a fraction of justice for the serious and somber tone of the manhwa at the start or the mature, emotional themes contained within, so I had to review just reading the first few chapters.  Will update when I'm in the mood to read a more emotion-heavy manhwa (not what I was looking for right now, though)

Really nice, feel good story about office politics and salary man going back in time. Pacing and story are all well done and the characters are likable. Highly recommended.

A Man's man is superficial, never delving into what makes this plot interesting. It doesn't reflect on the subject matter at hand. The protagonist is wasted potential, a disgruntled, arrogant CEO who's seen it all and regrets everything, given a second chance. How interesting! Yet what we see, is someone who knows exactly what he's done wrong, and how. Then, corrects it in seconds, he's never wrong and does everything perfectly. He could've been so much more, had an actual arc, and character development, but no. A Man's man could be enjoyed if you don't think about it, however, once you begin to scrutinize its story, everything falls apart.
