Actors In-guk Seo and Ji-hyun Park are locking down living rooms with a painfully relatable office romance.
The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama See You at Work Tomorrow! follows seventh-year employee Cha Ji-yoon (played by Ji-hyun Park) as she becomes entangled with her prickly yet thoughtful boss, Kang Si-woo (played by In-guk Seo), and the two grow into irreplaceable people for each other.
In recent episodes, both leads closed the chapter on their first loves and took a step forward, while slowly waking up to new feelings for each other. Notably, Kang Si-woo invited Cha Ji-yoon to join a TF task force, confessing, "I didn't want to lose this person," and offered heartfelt comfort with, "Don't get sick," sending viewers' swoon meters soaring.
As the romance deepens, the numbers back it up. According to Nielsen Korea, episode 1 of See You at Work Tomorrow! peaked at 6.0% in the Seoul metro area and 5.9% nationwide, signaling a strong start. Episode 4, which aired on the 30th of last month, set a new personal best with a nationwide average of 4.5% and a peak of 6.1%, proving steady momentum.
The show is also taking off globally. See You at Work Tomorrow! ranked No. 3 on Amazon Prime Video's weekly Non-English chart and placed high in TV show rankings across 33 countries, underscoring the worldwide craze for K-romance.
Domestic buzz indicators are just as strong. According to Good Data Corporation's FUNdex, the series ranked No. 3 in TV drama buzz for the fourth week of June. In the cast buzz category, In-guk Seo and Ji-hyun Park ranked No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.
At the center of this blockbuster surge is the leads' flawless synergy. Ji-hyun Park delivers Cha Ji-yoon's complex emotions with delicate precision, striking a deep chord with office workers, while In-guk Seo's layered, magnetic take on so-called 'unicorn boss' Kang Si-woo is earning rave reviews.
Meanwhile, See You at Work Tomorrow! airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. In Korea, episodes are available on TVING and Wavve, and global audiences can stream it on Amazon Prime Video.
