This highly anticipated new drama is adapted from the hit webtoon of the same name, which has surpassed 200 million views. The story centers on Cha Ji-yoon, an office worker with seven years of experience who is worn down by the daily grind. Park Ji-hyun portrays her with nuanced, naturalistic acting, capturing the reality of someone struggling to breathe under the pressure of work and life. Readers rushing to clock in every day will likely find themselves nodding along with the premise.

Seo In-guk becomes a picky, stone-faced “3NO” boss

Even in a dreary office, though, there needs to be something that makes your heart skip a beat. Seo In-guk takes on the role of Kang Si-woo, a calm direct supervisor who is extremely principled. His official character profile is intriguing: he’s known as the “3NO” man—no smiling, no getting close to others, and no apologies. Though he appears cold and sensitive, he has a distinct warmth beneath the surface. The romance that develops between the boss and his subordinate is particularly compelling.

Kang Mi-na and Choi Kyung-hoon join the supporting cast

Beyond the two leads, the supporting cast brings plenty of highlights to the story. Kang Mi-na plays Yoon No-ah, an energetic office worker with five years of experience, bringing a bright energy to the high-pressure workplace. Choi Kyung-hoon plays the female lead’s first love, while Won Kyu-bin plays a straightforward younger man. Their tangled romantic storylines and relationships add depth and richness to the plot.

Workplace K-dramas that focus only on romance can easily leave viewers feeling fatigued. Drawing on a webtoon that has been proven by more than 200 million views, this series skillfully works the burnout of a seven-year employee into its script, making its romance feel more grounded. Set to premiere on June 22, it’s definitely worth adding to your summer watch list.
