File Cabinets?

Apparently file cabinets are unknown in Kdramas. Even in this digital age, Korean offices... especially law offices... are completely dominated by piles of paper. In Divorce Attorney Shin the work surfaces in Cho Seung-woo's office has towering piles of paper jumbled every which way. Same is true in The Extraordinary Attorney Woo; piles and piles of papers everywhere! Even in the fantasy Hotel Del Luna the person responsible for tracking dead people has stacks of paper everywhere! Guess they haven't met Marie Kondo... ~ Judy

Hey, they need the set to look real! You’re almost right, Judy. The big time bosses in all the Kdramas I’ve watched have desks that are spotless. It’s the workers one down the rung of the hierarchy ladder who have stuff piled anywhere. The only exception I remember is Divorce Attorney Chin, and guess what? He always won his cases! Guess he knew where everything was. ~ Pat
It's organized disorder! And, if you try to help by straightening the papers, it changes the paperscape and the person can't find anything!!
