Director Cho Eun-sol was joined by lead stars Seo In-guk, Park Ji-hyun, Kang Mi-na, and Choi Kyung-hoon, who shared behind-the-scenes stories, discussed their characters, and teased the heartfelt chemistry that awaits viewers.

Adapted from the hit Kakao Webtoon, the series follows the unlikely romance between Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk)—the company’s most feared yet misunderstood team leader—and Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun), a dedicated product planner who has sworn off dating after a painful breakup.

As Ji-yoon navigates demanding deadlines, corporate burnout, and the simple comfort of fried chicken and beer after work, her carefully guarded heart slowly begins to open when Si-woo unexpectedly enters her life.

Blending humor, romance, and relatable workplace realities, See You at Work Tomorrow! celebrates the resilience of ordinary people who, no matter how exhausting life becomes, still show up for work the next morning.

Here are five reasons this new K-drama deserves a spot on your watchlist.

1. Seo In-guk Takes on a Refreshingly Different Romantic Lead

Known for unforgettable performances in Boyfriend on Demand and Doom at Your Service, Seo In-guk steps away from fantasy romance to portray a character firmly grounded in everyday life.

As Kang Si-woo, he plays a meticulous and emotionally reserved team leader whose blunt professionalism often causes others to keep their distance. Beneath his cool exterior, however, lies a thoughtful leader who genuinely cares for both his work and his colleagues.

Seo revealed that portraying Si-woo was particularly appealing because of the character’s calculated personality.

“I was excited to play a meticulous character who seems to plan everything. I think its realistic story and small, charming moments will resonate with many viewers.”

Through subtle expressions and understated emotion, Seo brings warmth and authenticity to a character who gradually reveals that first impressions aren’t always accurate.

2. Park Ji-hyun Delivers One of Her Most Relatable Performances Yet

Following acclaimed performances in Flex x Cop, Wild Sing, and You and Everything Else, Park Ji-hyun stars as Cha Ji-yoon, a seventh-year product planner juggling career pressures and emotional baggage.

Practical, dependable, and quietly resilient, Ji-yoon represents countless professionals who continue pushing forward despite burnout and disappointment.

Reflecting on why audiences will connect with her character, Park shared:

“She is a character with a story and emotions that many people can relate to. Even when she faces different kinds of pain and failure, she continues to pursue her passion, and I think viewers will be able to find both comfort and connection through her.”

Her heartfelt performance makes Ji-yoon’s emotional journey feel honest, relatable, and deeply human.

3. Seo In-guk and Park Ji-hyun’s Chemistry Sparks an Unforgettable Romance

At the heart of the series lies the evolving relationship between Si-woo and Ji-yoon.

What begins as an awkward professional relationship slowly develops into a mature romance built on trust, understanding, and emotional vulnerability.

Their contrasting personalities create plenty of lighthearted moments, workplace tension, and undeniable chemistry.

Park Ji-hyun admitted that filming many of their romantic scenes naturally created genuine excitement.

“I think I always felt that fluttering feeling whenever we filmed the romance scenes.”

Director Cho Eun-sol echoed that sentiment, expressing his hope that viewers would be inspired to embrace love themselves after watching the series.

With both actors delivering nuanced performances, the romance unfolds gradually, making every emotional breakthrough even more rewarding.

4. A Stellar Supporting Cast Brings the Workplace to Life

Beyond its central love story, See You at Work Tomorrow! boasts an engaging ensemble cast that adds warmth, humor, and emotional depth.

Director Cho Eun-sol described the series as one built upon “a solid narrative that allows the characters’ delicate emotions to unfold with depth.”

Kang Mi-na, formerly of I.O.I, plays Yoon No-ah, Ji-yoon’s cheerful junior colleague whose close friendship adds both heart and humor to the workplace.

“I felt a special energy whenever I exchanged lines with Ji-hyun,” Kang shared.

Meanwhile, Choi Kyung-hoon portrays Jo Ga-eul, Ji-yoon’s university first love and an aspiring band vocalist whose reappearance complicates her emotional journey.

Seo In-guk also recalled the welcoming atmosphere during production, saying,

“The set was full of laughter.”

Park Ji-hyun added that viewers should also look forward to watching each character’s personal growth beyond the romance.

5. A Refreshingly Mature Take on Office Romance

Rather than relying on exaggerated misunderstandings or over-the-top drama, See You at Work Tomorrow! offers a romance rooted in emotional maturity and everyday experiences.

Through two adults who have learned to protect their hearts, the series explores how love can quietly grow through patience, empathy, and genuine understanding.

Director Cho described the relationship between Si-woo and Ji-yoon as both “mature and grounded.”

“The way they consider and care for each other will be heartwarming to watch, and I think those moments will give viewers something to look forward to.”

It’s a refreshing reminder that sometimes the most meaningful love stories begin in the most ordinary places.
