I'm on cloud nine because tvN finally premiered See You at Work Tomorrow! on June 22, 2026, and I'm already addicted. This drama feels like a soothing antidote to my own corporate burnout. The premise was instantly relatable, and I fell in love with it right away.
The K-drama follows a woman in her forties who has completely given up on both romance and career motivation after working as a product planner for seven years. Suddenly, she finds herself reporting to the most feared and disciplined team leader in the company.
I highly recommend this show to anyone who loved the office dynamics and banter of Business Proposal but wanted something more grounded in real-life adult burnout. It's a mix of workplace comedy and romance that slowly simmers before finally coming to a boil.
What I Absolutely Loved So Far
Going into Episode 1 with no expectations, I was instantly hooked by the strong character introductions. I really resonated with Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun)’s exhaustion because it feels so real and relatable. I especially loved the early scenes of her clocking out at just the right moment and heading home for the simple joy of fried chicken and beer.
Then my jaw dropped when Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk) appeared as her new boss. He is known around the company as the “worst grump” because he does not “talk pretty.” I also really appreciated that the show avoided the usual “childhood connection” cliché often used in dramas. Instead, it later reveals his quiet admiration for her professional skills over the years, which honestly hit me hard. The small notes he leaves in her old idea book were heartbreaking in the best way.

By the start of Episode 2, the chemistry between the two leads really takes off. When they shared drinks after work, I got full-on butterflies. I also liked how Cha Ji-yoon admits she feels more flustered by his unexpected business questions than she would by a date invitation.
I was also so relieved when she finally dumped her completely useless ex-boyfriend. And I could not help laughing as Kang Si-woo keeps throwing out those subtle micro-smiles whenever she is around. What I love most is how this show celebrates competence in the workplace. It is refreshing to watch two ambitious people respect each other’s intelligence first, before anything else.
I do not have too many complaints, but I did not like how the promotional teasers handled some of the early plot points. In the first few scenes, it was implied that the marketing team was involved in a stunt and that Kang Si-woo was actively stalking her. I felt uncomfortable in those moments until the show later clarified the situation. He was simply trying to be kind and offer her a job opportunity without it being public, in order to protect her from being stuck in a bad department.

Episode 2 also had an excessive number of management characters who were power tripping, which I found frustrating. I was genuinely furious with the corporate executives because they kept draining the employees’ morale, and that really hits close to home for me.
After two episodes, though, my overall opinion is a solid two thumbs up. The pacing and production feel fast and slick. I am fully strapped in for this corporate ride.
