Coupang Play series ‘Office Workers’ (directed by Kim Min, Kang Na-rae) announced the appearance of top actress Choi Ji-woo as a guest for episode 4.

Coupang Play series ‘Office Workers’ is set in the midst of a crisis at small and medium-sized marketing company DY Planning, and is about MZ people‘s office survival story between AZ and GenZ who are becoming ‘sandae’.

In the released trailer for episode 4, top star Choi Ji-woo, the heroine of the first-generation K-drama ‘Winter Sonata’ and everyone’s ‘Jiwoo Hime’, appears. Choi Ji-woo is briefly delighted by the enthusiastic welcome from the DY Planning employees, but during the image consulting process, she is helplessly attacked by Kim Won-hoon who provokes her by saying, “Is this the time of the 1.4 retreat” on a picture of her childhood, and she helplessly collapses and asks CEO Shin Dong-yup, “Honey, isn‘t this a hidden camera? I really can’t believe it all,“ he said, finally letting out his pent-up anger and making everyone laugh. Will ‘Jiwoo Hime’ be able to be reborn as ‘Hipster Hime’ that communicates with the MZ generation? DY Planning‘s unique proposal that goes beyond impressing customers and makes them grab the back of their necks every time will be revealed in episode 4.



Meanwhile, ‘Office Workers’, which properly stimulated the empathy of real working adults with the aftermath of a company dinner that properly stimulated their dark past, realistically depicts the lunchtime scene this time. Ji Ye-eun, an employee who is serious about self-development, devotes herself to video English study during her lunch break and challenges herself to become a top-level English speaker. Meanwhile, ‘Icon of Misfortune’ Supervisor Kim Won-hoon finally calls out employee Cha Jeong-won, a ‘thorn in the eye of junior’, who is favored by CEO Shin Dong-yup, for a head-on showdown, raising expectations about what the lunch scene at DY Planning, which is never going to be smooth, will be like.

’Office Workers’, which has been receiving favorable reviews for opening a new genre of office comedy by capturing a workplace culture that is more realistic than reality, ranked first in popularity on Coupang Play as soon as it was released, and its viewership has skyrocketed by 777% compared to its first week.
