See You at Work Tomorrow: Park Ji Hyun Opens Up About Her First “Lovey-Dovey” Role and Working With Seo In Guk

After years of playing fierce, hard-edged characters, Park Ji Hyun is finally getting her romance era — and she couldn’t be more excited about it. Ahead of the premiere of “See You at Work Tomorrow!”, the actress opened up about why this role feels different, what drew her to the project, and how co-star Seo In Guk helped her navigate unfamiliar romantic territory on set.

What’s “See You at Work Tomorrow!” About?

Based on a popular webtoon, the drama follows Cha Ji Yoon (Park Ji Hyun), a respected senior employee who’s grown tired of her repetitive routine after seven years at the same company. Everything changes when she gets entangled with her prickly boss, Kang Si Woo (Seo In Guk), sparking a fresh start in both her career and her love life.

Why Park Ji Hyun Said Yes?

Park Ji Hyun explained that the script’s relatability is what drew her in immediately, calling it a fun, realistic story that many viewers will recognize from their own lives. She also noted how deeply she connected with Cha Ji Yoon’s struggles balancing work and love, two of life’s most rewarding yet challenging pursuits.

What stood out most to her was how much of herself she saw in the character. She described Cha Ji Yoon as someone who pours everything into both her job and relationships, which also means she ends up getting hurt more deeply, an emotional pattern Park Ji Hyun said felt very personal to her.

When asked about a line from the drama that resonated most, she picked one about putting up emotional walls, reflecting on how people often build defenses to protect themselves, only to have those walls quietly torn down by someone sincere.

A New Side of Park Ji Hyun

Known for tougher, more intense roles, Park Ji Hyun admitted it feels special to finally play someone lovable in a romance-centered story. Since her past characters haven’t typically gotten happy endings in love, she’s especially excited to dive into something genuinely sweet this time around.

Seo In Guk, the “Romance Master”

Park Ji Hyun also praised her co-star for creating a comfortable atmosphere on set, especially during romantic scenes. With limited experience in this genre, she said Seo In Guk naturally guided her through tricky moments, living up to his reputation as a romance expert in the industry.

On a lighter note, she joked that while her character’s comfort food is fried chicken, she’s currently obsessed with spicy braised chicken with tripe, encouraging viewers to enjoy the show with their own favorite comfort snacks.
