In the second episode of 'The Story of Manager Kim who works at a large company in Seoul's home' (hereinafter 'The Story of Manager Kim') aired on the 26th, Kim Nak-soo (Ryu Seung-ryong), who is about to be promoted to executives, faced a series of crises and a dark cloud was cast over the future. The ratings were 3.5% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 3.5% nationwide (based on Nielsen Korea paid households).
The incident in which Huh Tae-hwan (Lee Seo-hwan) attempted an extreme choice in the company's parking lot spread quickly, and the company tried to control the case under the name of 'Reputation Protection'. Baek Jung-tae (Yoo Seung-mok), managing director, instructed Kim Nak-su to persuade Manager Heo and effectively ordered him to crack down on his mouth. Kim Nak-soo could not hide his bitterness in the harsh reality of prioritizing corporate image over human beings.
Kim Nak-soo, who went to the hospital, offered comfort by giving a lucky hole-in-one ball, but manager Huh expressed his anger, saying, `Are you afraid that I'll have a problem with my promotion?' The words struck Kim Nak-su heavily on her chest.
Meanwhile, the HR team head named Kim Nak-soo as the person to be released instead of Huh. Baek was in agony because he wanted to protect his closest aide, and the news raised Kim Nak-soo's anxiety. He declared that he would have a 'communication time' with his team members, but his team members' sighs deepened by his way of only talking about himself and dropping a work bomb at the end.
Kim Nak-soo's unilateral attitude was repeated at the family dining out. In particular, the father-son conflict erupted over his father's authoritative tone, which undermined his son Su-gyeom's (Cha Kang-yoon) challenge to start a business.
To make matters worse, the company was put on alert once again as an error occurred in the service approved by Kim Nak-su and was exposed through influencer. Kim Nak-su's trembling gaze, who was trying to clean his tie at Baek's call, revealed his precarious situation. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Nak-soo of the crisis will be able to deal with the situation.
