Seo In Guk and Park Ji Hyun’s Office Romance Faces Its Biggest Challenge Yet in See You At Work Tomorrow!

Just as romance begins to blossom between the leads of tvN’s workplace drama “See You At Work Tomorrow!,” an unexpected figure from the past is about to complicate everything. On July 5, tvN released new preview stills for the drama’s upcoming episode, revealing the return of Kang Si Woo’s ex-wife, Choi Su Jin (played by Park Ye Young). Her reappearance threatens to change the dynamic between Seo In Guk’s Kang Si Woo and Park Ji Hyun’s Cha Ji Yoon, setting the stage for one of the series’ most emotionally charged episodes yet.

Based on the hit webtoon of the same name, See You At Work Tomorrow! follows Cha Ji Yoon, a seventh-year office employee who has grown exhausted by the repetitive routine of corporate life. Her world begins to change after she is assigned to work closely with her demanding supervisor, Kang Si Woo, a perfectionist who has earned the nickname “The 3 NO Man” because he never smiles, avoids personal relationships, and rarely apologizes. Although their relationship starts off rocky, the pair gradually become a source of comfort and strength for one another as they navigate both workplace challenges and personal growth.

The previous episode marked a turning point in their slow-burn romance. Ji Yoon accidentally witnessed Si Woo interacting warmly with a woman at the office before learning that the mysterious visitor was actually his former wife, Choi Su Jin. Watching the two laugh and speak comfortably together left Ji Yoon unexpectedly unsettled. Although she initially tried to convince herself that their interaction meant nothing, she soon realized her discomfort stemmed from feelings she had been trying to ignore. For the first time, Ji Yoon was forced to admit that her admiration for her boss had grown into genuine romantic interest.

The newly released stills hint that those emotions will only become more complicated. One set of images shows Si Woo and Su Jin sitting across from each other in a quiet café, engaged in what appears to be a serious yet calm conversation. Su Jin wears a gentle smile throughout the meeting, leaving viewers wondering whether the former couple are simply tying up loose ends or whether unresolved feelings still remain between them. tvN has kept the details of their conversation under wraps, adding to the suspense surrounding the episode.

Another collection of preview images focuses on Ji Yoon after her realization. While she continues working alongside Si Woo at the office, her behavior noticeably changes. Once able to treat him as nothing more than a difficult supervisor, she now finds herself constantly watching him, her expressions betraying emotions she can no longer hide. Si Woo, who has always been observant despite his reserved personality, quickly notices the subtle shift. The growing awareness between them creates a new tension that promises to move their relationship beyond ordinary office interactions.

The series has earned praise for taking a familiar office romance premise and grounding it in relatable workplace experiences. Rather than relying solely on dramatic confessions or grand romantic gestures, See You At Work Tomorrow! explores burnout, career uncertainty, and emotional healing through the evolving relationship between two adults carrying emotional baggage. Seo In Guk’s restrained portrayal of the emotionally distant Kang Si Woo has been widely praised, while Park Ji Hyun continues to win viewers over with her heartfelt performance as Ji Yoon, whose quiet resilience makes her an easy character to root for.

With Ji Yoon finally recognizing her feelings and Si Woo’s past returning at the worst possible moment, the drama appears ready to enter a new emotional chapter. Whether Choi Su Jin becomes an obstacle, a catalyst for honest conversations, or simply a reminder of unresolved wounds remains to be seen. What is certain is that the love story between Ji Yoon and Si Woo is no longer as straightforward as it once seemed.

Fans won’t have to wait long to discover what happens next. The upcoming episode of See You At Work Tomorrow! airs July 6 at 8:50 p.m. KST on tvN, with international streaming available on Amazon Prime Video in select regions. As the series heads into its second half, viewers can expect more heartfelt moments, workplace challenges, and a romance that is finally beginning to confront its biggest emotional test yet.
