Han Seok-kyu, Bae Hyun-seong and Lee Re, whose premiere recorded a 5.9% viewership rating, hold their long-awaited first company dinner.
The second episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama The New CEO Project (written by Ban Gi-ri / directed by Shin Kyung-soo / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Two Frame), which airs today (16th), features a gathering led by the new CEO (played by Han Seok-kyu) to strengthen teamwork among the Chicken Division's executives and employees.
Earlier, the new CEO, who had been displeased with Jo Philip (played by Bae Hyun-seong), who parachuted into his chicken shop, began to gradually open his heart while accompanying Jo Philip for negotiations. Having survived life-threatening crises together, he now accepts Jo Philip to some extent as an employee.
But I Si-on (played by Lee Re), an MZ delivery worker who has worked closely with the new CEO, still distrusts the parachute hire Jo Philip and remains on high alert. The sharp tension between Jo Philip and I Si-on, who bicker every time they meet, makes it impossible to predict how things will explode at the company dinner. Attention is focused on whether this dinner will serve as a turning point for a positive change in their relationship.
The released photos show the company dinner led by the new CEO. At the center of the chicken shop family, the new CEO exudes an extraordinary presence and skillfully guides the mood. His smiling face reveals warm affection and feelings toward his employees.
By contrast, a tense stare-off is taking place between employee Jo Philip and I Si-on. The cold look from I Si-on toward Jo Philip and Jo Philip's stern expression create a chilling atmosphere that suggests a dispute could break out at any moment.
But as drinks are consumed, the previously tense atmosphere appears to ease somewhat. In particular, I Si-on, who relaxes her guard, and Jo Philip, who subtly watches her, show a different vibe than before. With the sharp air of confrontation having calmed somewhat, anticipation grows about how their relationship will change starting from the company dinner.
The dynamic first chicken shop company dinner featuring Han Seok-kyu, Bae Hyun-seong and Lee Re will air in episode 2 of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama The New CEO Project tonight (16th) at 8:50 p.m.
