Even after winning the lotto jackpot, team leader Lee Jun-hyuk chose to come to work instead of handing in his resignation, and the sales Team 5 with its varied personalities comes together.
The Tving original "Even the lotto jackpot goes to work," which will be released on the 10th, on the 7th released images of Sales Team 5 led by Gong Eun-tae (played by Lee Jun-hyuk), Yang Jun-ho (played by Seo Hyun-woo), Park Ki-tae (played by Hong Jin-gi), and Lee Ji Hye.
The Tving original "Even the lotto jackpot goes to work," based on the popular web novel of the same name, is a K-office drama that unfolds when team leader Gong Eun-tae, who had been getting by day by day while being pushed up and down, wins the lotto jackpot and, instead of submitting his resignation, comes to work holding the 1.3 billion won prize. Through the story of an office worker who, after holding a somewhat ambiguous sum of "1.3 billion" won that is not enough to change his life overnight, finally begins to see his work and colleagues, the series promises to deliver both lighthearted laughs and realistic empathy.
Above all, the chemistry of Sales Team 5, made up of a variety of colorful characters, is an unmissable point of interest. The released photos capture the uneasy atmosphere of Sales Team 5 from the start, piquing curiosity.
First, the stark contrast in expressions between team leader Gong Eun-tae, the core of Sales Team 5, and assistant manager Yang Jun-ho draws attention. Unlike Gong Eun-tae, who maintains a blank face and silently continues his work while suppressing his emotions, Yang Jun-ho displays his complaints plainly with a sharp expression. In Gong Eun-tae's glancing look at that Yang Jun-ho, one can even feel a peculiar tension. This passage plainly reveals Gong Eun-tae's hardships of being pushed around by Yang Jun-ho, who is a subordinate but senior to him.
Under the tense atmosphere of the two supervisors, the passionate new employees Park Ki-tae and Lee Ji Hye also attract attention. Park Ki-tae shows exceptional enthusiasm with bright eyes and an innocent smile. As someone who dreams of being a "lotto-level" team member, he is full of the ambition and daring to do anything well. Although still an inexperienced new employee, his extraordinary passion raises curiosity about what changes he will bring to Sales Team 5.
Lee Ji Hye's serious demeanor is also impressive. She tightly holds a notebook so as not to miss a single thing and carefully takes notes, showing her diligence. As a contract employee who dreams of another "lotto"—a regular position—her diligence contains a desperate wish to prove her existence and survive in the jungle-like workplace.
With four people who have different backgrounds and goals, attention is focused on the growth process that Sales Team 5 will create. From the start they clash, and as they go through big and small incidents together, expectations are growing about how they will come to understand each other and become a true "one team."
Lee Jun-hyuk cited "the overall rhythm of Sales Team 5" as a point of interest and said, "At first they may creak and seem mismatched, but I hope you watch the process of them getting to know each other and fitting together."
Seo Hyun-woo also said, "Each member of the charming Sales Team 5 has their own story and background that unfold. Their ensemble will be exciting," and added, "For people who work at companies, please watch with a focus on the 'one team' process of solving, together, incidents that may be relatable or even make you break out in a cold sweat."
He added, "It would be good to also pay attention to the situation of Team 5, stuck deep in the office and anxious about their superiors' moods," raising anticipation for the work.
