The 4th episode, which was released on the 15th, depicted the unique lunchtime scenery of DY employees. Ji Ye-eun, an employee who claimed to be a smart career woman, tried to take a video English class in front of Shim Ja-yoon, the youngest intern, but her level was shocking. English skills such as pouring water into the bottomless jar burst into laughter from the beginning, and the two fantastic tiki-taka heated up the opening.
Kim Won-hoon, the head of the 'Icon of Unfairness', was angry again when he was attacked by Kim Min-kyo, the head of the company. Kim Won-hoon, who had to pay for lunch with his personal card, tried to vent his anger to Cha Jung-won, an employee who was away even after lunch, even though he swallowed the injustice. However, it turned out that Cha Jung-won had been home for work, and when this was revealed, CEO Shin Dong-yeop once again praised Cha Jung-won. On the other hand, Kim Won-hoon caused laughter by lowering his tail shabbyly under the pressure of Shin Dong-yeop's sharp 'Snowpiercer' and resignation at the same time.
Angered by the discriminatory treatment, Kim Won-hoon tried to firmly scold Cha Jung-won, but Cha Jung-won fought back with a flamboyant bombardment of praise toward him. Kim Won-hoon's expression brightened in an instant formed a sad yet funny consensus, completing a unique reality-affirming gag of 'office workers'.
And the highlight of this episode was Choi Ji-woo, the 'super-special guest'. He asked DY to change his image and caused a stir at the unpredictable behavior of the company's employees. From Kim Won-hoon's constant teasing and Hyun Bong-sik's '84-born visual presence', I had to gather my mind in the chaos beyond imagination. The situation became more serious when the image consulting presentation prepared by DY Planning began.
From solving the controversy over the pronunciation of 'Stairway to Heaven', which hit online, to passing on 'Selfie Tips for Kids These Days', DY's unusual plans poured in. At first, Choi Ji-woo responded flexibly like a veteran actor, but he eventually raised the white flag due to constant ad-lib bombing by comedy masters.
When Kim Won-hoon's 'Eraser's drip cooled the atmosphere, Choi Ji-woo made a pout face, and when Lee Soo-ji posed a charming pose that reinterpreted 'Stairway to Heaven' with exercise equipment, she eventually exploded. Isn't this a hidden camera?" he shouted. It was the moment when Choi Ji-woo, who endured indiscriminate attacks by DY planning employees, completely collapsed.
However, Choi Ji-woo eventually began to adapt to DY Planning's consulting. From the filming method of 'Zhenji Shot' proposed by intern Shim Ja-yoon, who was born in 2004, to the image advertisement of 'national mother' using her real name 'Choi Mi-hyang', she accepted unusual ideas one after another and gave viewers another fun. In particular, he drew attention by uploading a post using the famous scene of 'Stairway to Heaven' on White Day, reflecting DY's solution on actual SNS.
Not only Choi Ji-woo, but also actor Ko Soo-ho's SNS, which appeared earlier, was followed by comments from viewers 'Sungji Pilgrimage', and the pleasant play culture of 'office workers' was also expanded on the channels of actual stars.
With superb harmony between the script and the ad-lib, 'Workers', which culminated in hyperrealist office comedy, has been receiving explosive responses day after day. There have been rave reviews such as "'The best comedy I've ever seen this year' and 'Let's go to season 10 with this combination' and "'I almost tore my stomach while laughing', and praise for Tiki-taka, especially produced by comedy masters, has continued.
With overwhelming laughter and realistic points of empathy in work life, viewership increased by 777% and exceeded 32 million views 'Workers' will be released every Saturday at 8 p.m. on Coupang Play.
