Packed with witty office humor and heart-fluttering romance, Prime Video’s series See You at Work Tomorrow! centers on the unlikely connection between Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk), the company’s most intimidating and unpopular team leader, and Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun), a veteran product planner who has sworn off dating after a devastating breakup. Having grown weary of the corporate grind, Ji-yoon dedicates herself to work, punctual clock-outs, and unwinding with fried chicken and beer. But when Si-woo enters the picture, she finds herself slowly rediscovering the possibility of love.
Read on to find out more on our interview with the lead actors and what they have to say about their character in the series!
| Question: “See You at Work Tomorrow!” captures the realities of modern work life while blending romance, humor, and healing. What was your first impression of the script, and what made you want to take on these characters? |
| Seo In-guk: I really enjoyed reading the script because the characters were very compelling, and I could clearly see how each of them would grow. I was drawn to the journey of a character who is blunt and seems, to anyone, like someone who does not really understand love, gradually experiencing love and seeing the things he prioritizes begin to change. That clear emotional arc was very interesting to me, which is why I decided to take on the project. |
| Park Ji-Hyun: Not only was the script itself very interesting, but it also told a realistic story that felt like something everyone may have experienced, so I thought many people would be able to relate to it. I especially related a lot to Ji-yoon’s situation. Work and love are often the biggest priorities in life, but at times, they can also feel like difficult assignments we are left to figure out. I wanted to portray the everyday details within this story as naturally as possible. |
| Question: Kang Si-woo is known as the ‘Three-No Man’ — no smiles, no small talk, no apologies. In a real office, do you think he would be misunderstood, or actually difficult to work with? And as the story progresses, in your view, does he truly change, or does he simply become someone others begin to understand better? |
| Seo In-guk: Kang Si-woo is definitely a difficult type of person. He does not easily reveal what he is thinking or let people get close to him, so I think it takes effort on the part of those around him to really look deeper and understand him. As viewers, we naturally come to root for Kang Si-woo as we watch the drama, but if there were someone like him in real life, I think I might also misunderstand him and find it difficult to approach him. However, Kang Si-woo is warm, deep and someone who puts consideration for others first, so I think discovering those sides of him will be one of the enjoyable parts of the drama. The reason Si-woo changes is because he experiences true love, so I hope viewers will pay close attention to that process. |
| Question: Ji-yoon has built a very functional life after heartbreak—efficient, stable, low-risk. Do you think she has genuinely found peace in that version of her life, or has she simply become used to emotional self-protection? How did you personally understand that side of her character? |
| Seo In-guk: I think her way of living is very efficient and stable. It may be a defense mechanism for avoiding major risks, but I do not think Ji-yoon approached everything in her life that way. I believe she must have taken on her own challenges within those boundaries. In our drama, Ji-yoon talks about compromising with reality and giving things up, but personally, I saw it as a very positive kind of compromise. Rather than simply giving up, I thought of it as a good way for her to protect herself, focus on what she can do and figure out how she can continue doing this work for a long time. |
| Park Ji-hyun: I think she chose to avoid starting something new in the first place in order to protect herself from getting hurt again. In a way, just as she felt a sense of weariness toward work, I think she also felt a sense of weariness toward love itself, trapping herself in the mindset that if love was going to be predictable and painful, she should not begin it at all. |
| Question: Ji-yoon looks forward to something as simple as fried chicken and beer after work. What are the little things in your personal lives that instantly make a difficult or exhausting day feel better? |
| Seo In-guk: After work, I really enjoy going home and spending some quiet time alone. I think those moments become the driving force that helps me prepare for the next day. During that time, I might play games, read webtoons, or look back on how my day went. |
| Question: The drama suggests that burnout doesn’t always look dramatic—it can look like routine, silence, and simply continuing on. What do you hope viewers who are feeling emotionally exhausted themselves take away from the story? |
| Seo In-guk: I think everyone carries pain and struggles within them. How we embrace those things and continue living our lives is something we all have to figure out. I hope viewers can find some guidance and grow together with the characters as they watch how Kang Si-woo and Cha Ji-yoon work through these issues in our drama. |
