The Coupang Play series
'Office Workers' received explosive popularity and rapid return for Season 2, just half a year after the full release of the previous season, having garnered critical acclaim as 'a remedy for the laughter of Korea's office workers' and 'the laughter evangelists of genuine office workers.' It wrapped up its run amidst praise and became a sensation with a six-week long, record-breaking hyper-realistic office comedy, creating a buzz each week.
In this context, Jo Jung-seok, a multi-talented artist active in various genres and works, is expected to bring fresh laughter to the first episode of 'Office Workers' Season 2, which has been revamped. With stable acting skills and a unique presence, he has become known to the public as a 'trustworthy actor', and it is anticipated that he will provide fresh viewing experiences with divine teamwork and the explosive brilliance of BUMSUP adlibs with the DY Planning team.
'Office Workers' features a cast of eight, including Shin Dong-yeob, the representative of DY Planning; Kim Min-kyo, the Director General pursuing the 'MZ beauty'; Lee Soo-ji, a bold divorcee Director; Kim Won-hoon, a 'bagged boss' caught between superiors and juniors; Ji Ye-eun, the employee returning as a morale officer; Hyun Bong-sik, a new assistant with unique visuals from the 1984 class; Cha Jeong-won (Karde Garden), an ability character rookie who surprises seniors, and Shim Ja-yoon (STAYC Yoon), a passionate newcomer, who transform perfectly into office workers, delivering unprecedented laughter with star-studded guests and fearless adlib battles.
The cast's dazzling adlibs and the genuine responses from star guests, along with the footage of the cast and guests exerting themselves to avoid issuing a 'laughter warning', depicted a unique comedic genre seldom seen in existing office comedies.
'Office Workers' received acclaim for realistically portraying scenes such as the daily commute of genuine office workers, after-work drinking aftermath, lunchtime dynamics, the glance game before leaving work, complaints about forced overtime, and uncomfortable drinking culture, recording the number one spot among popular works on Coupang Play from the first episode of Season 1. Moreover, it topped the viewer experience rate in the second week of release (source: Consumer Insight), sweeping various popularity indicators and creating a syndrome-level success. Season 2 intrigues viewers about what office culture scenes it will capture with humor.
This summer, the office comedy Coupang Play series 'Office Workers' Season 2 promises a 'laughter hunt show' that stimulates smiles simply with a declaration of work. It will be exclusively available on Coupang Play every Saturday at 8 p.m., starting Aug. 9. Coupang Wow members can watch for free on Coupang Play.
