Netflix just released its first legal rom-com with an East Asian lead. More specifically, Partner Track‘s lead is Korean-American. Enter Ingrid Yun (played by Arden Cho), a high-powered M&A lawyer in her 6th year. She’s been working her ass off to make partner at her firm.

Enter Jeff Murphy (played by Dominic Sherwood), her one-night stand from years ago at a wedding.

As the main banner image suggests, she’s a lady stuck in a man’s world. In the workforce, she has to battle racism, micro-aggressions and of course, sexism.

The show received a glowing review on community site theqoo, and the post soon went viral. With over 93,000 views on the post, everyone was gushing over how gorgeous the female lead was. It seems that the set-up of a working Korean woman in New York really struck a chord with the Korean audience.
