The story of manager Kim, who works at a large company in Seoul, which will premiere on the 25th, tells the story of a middle-aged man who has lost everything he has believed in, going through a long journey to find himself. In the play, Kim Nak-soo (Ryu Seung-ryong) has been serving as the first team leader of the ACT sales division of a large company for 25 years and is standing in the middle of a fierce job survival line ahead of the promotion of executives.
Yoo Seung-mok appears as Baek Jeong-tae, managing director of the ACT sales division. He is a senior and current executive who has been with Kim Nak-soo since he joined the company, and although he seems to care about falling water on the outside, he is an ambition that can be thrown away whenever necessary. Lee Shin-hwa breaks down into Do Jin-woo, who quickly rose to the manager's position, forming a strong rival structure for Kim Nak-soo. Do Jin-woo is smart and bold, but he has a strong support in-house with a style that keeps the line.
Shin Dong-won, Jung Soon-won and Ha Seo-yoon appear as key members of the sales team led by Kim Nak-soo. Director Song Ik-hyun (Shin Dong-won) is Kim Nak-su's right arm and is a meticulous and reliable person. Deputy Jung Sung-gu (Jeong Soon-won) is a source in the company who is about to get married and grumbles with his self-proclaimed `Kim Nak-soo's closest aide', but tries to understand the manager more than anyone else. Kwon Song-hee (Ha Seo-yoon) is the youngest member of the quick-witted MZ generation and suffers from growing pains amid the gap between ideal and reality.
Expectations are high for a pleasant and fierce workplace narrative that will take place as seniors and juniors with different personalities form a team and move toward the goal of promoting executives.
Meanwhile, JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 「The Story of Manager Kim who works at a large company in Seoul」 will premiere at 10:40 p.m. on the 25th.
