Coupang Play series "Office Workers (directed by Kim Min, Kang Na-rae)" season 2 delivered comic energy to viewers with actress Lee Seon-bin's unexpected charm and her "passion run-amok" performance of agreeing to whatever she's told.
Season 2 of "Office Workers" is a real office survival story featuring the genuine employees of DY Planning who dream of getting paid without working and leaving on time, and the psychological battles that unfold with star clients.
In episode 7, Lee Seon-bin, who was selected as DY Planning's promotional model, is portrayed cheerfully thriving despite being bombarded with employees' off-the-wall activity ideas. Lee Seon-bin, who is in a long-term relationship with actor Lee Kwang-soo, is usually known for her easygoing and cheerful personality.
After being offered a full set of items—earrings, a hat, a nose piercing and tattoo stickers all covered with the DY logo—Lee Seon-bin confidently wore the accessories without hesitation and struck SNS verification-photo poses, provoking laughter. In the following scene, where she reenacted a refreshing beverage commercial using Lee Su-ji as a bicycle, her knack for not missing DY Planning promotional lines satisfied the staff and, when faced with a shocking proposal, she pushed back even harder in "passion run-amok" mode, delivering a major laugh point.
Meanwhile, Jung I-rang made a surprise appearance as an "laughter therapist," serving viewers a feast of laughs just by being there. The staff banded together to doubt the credentials of laughter therapist Jung I-rang, who was said to be from "Oxford Women's University Department of Applause" and, upon Jung I-rang's arrival, Kim Won-hoon's snarky full-throttle jabs—"You look 60. You look young"—laid waste to the scene. Ultimately, Jung I-rang's trademark straight-faced expression and sudden harsh words created a déjà vu-like confrontation that once again proved the two's "sure-win pairing" comedic chemistry.
On the other hand, when the prickly Baek Hyun-jin suddenly switched to "aegennam" mode—insisting on sharing a room with Kim Won-hoon or asking to be taken to her room while drunk—Kim Won-hoon reacted with shock and horror, producing laughter different from their usual antagonistic chemistry. Especially at the lodging, the unexpected odd tension of "Won-hoon, will you shower first, or shall I wash first?" generated 100% genuine laughs.
Meanwhile, intern Sim Ja-yoon's launched gossip expose instantly turned the workshop site into thin ice and opened the curtain on a war of revelations. At the afterparty, when she revealed that the anonymous bulletin-board gossip culprit was Hyun Bong-sik, he froze in a "pupil earthquake," and then Baek Hyun-jin retaliated by revealing Kim Won-hoon's gossip about Shin Dong-yeop. To stop it, Kim Won-hoon fabricated a bodily secret about Lee Su-ji, and the resulting "revelation relay" became another comedic highlight of episode 7.
The Coupang Play series "Office Workers" season 2, which is gaining popularity for the laughter nerve battles between star guests and employees, is released exclusively on Coupang Play every Saturday at 8 p.m.
