Misaeng

Title Sequence Style Frames

All Assets and Compositions made in Illustrator, texture added using Photoshop

Misaeng is a Korean Drama digesting the life of a Korean corporate worker through the eyes of a former gifted “Baduk” champion. Baduk is a Korean game that uses black and white stones, a prevalent theme in the style frames that I have created. It is similar, yet drastically different from chess.

Work politics, unbearable expectations, bullying, rumors, harrassment, and toxic position hierarchy. All loosely pulled together through alcohol, family, ego, and survival. I implemented such themes into a title sequence concept inspired by Saul Bass.
