It's a drama that captures the tension between privilege and hard work, showcasing Ella's struggle with her entitled background while navigating the complexities of her new employee, Segun, played by Wole Ojo. The performances are quite engaging, especially Ojo's portrayal of a frustrated job seeker who uncovers the harsh realities of corporate life. The pacing has a slow burn quality to it, allowing character development to unfold naturally. It’s distinct in how it presents a nuanced look at ambition and entitlement without resorting to typical melodrama. The atmosphere is grounded, making the themes resonate more deeply though it's not without its imperfections.
