The romance in See You at Work Tomorrow! appears ready to move into new territory.
After spending its opening weeks building a relationship through everyday office life, the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama is now introducing a complication that could redefine the connection between Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk) and Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun): the return of Si-woo's ex-wife.
Ahead of Episodes 5 and 6, newly released stills preview Si-woo sitting down with his former wife, Choi Su-jin (Park Ye-young). Their relaxed conversation suggests there is still unfinished history between them, creating an emotional ripple that quickly reaches Ji-yoon.
Until now, Ji-yoon has kept her growing attachment to Si-woo largely hidden—even from herself. But seeing him comfortably reconnect with someone from his past forces her to confront emotions she can no longer dismiss. What first seemed like ordinary concern begins to look much more like jealousy.
The shift also changes the atmosphere between the two leads. Si-woo starts noticing Ji-yoon's subtle reactions, while their once-comfortable workplace dynamic gives way to lingering glances, awkward silences and moments that suddenly carry far greater emotional weight.
Rather than relying on dramatic confrontations, the series continues to build its romance through small, recognizable moments. An ordinary conversation, an unexpected encounter and a fleeting look become enough to suggest that both characters are approaching a turning point they may not yet be ready to acknowledge.
The arrival of Su-jin is expected to test the fragile balance that has developed between Ji-yoon and Si-woo, leaving viewers to wonder whether the unexpected jealousy will push them closer together—or drive them further apart.
See You at Work Tomorrow! follows seventh-year office employee Cha Ji-yoon, whose predictable routine begins to change after she grows closer to her demanding supervisor, Kang Si-woo. Blending workplace comedy with a slow-burning romance, the series explores how everyday encounters can quietly transform people's lives.
Episode 5 of See You at Work Tomorrow! airs July 6 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
