Park Ji Hyun on why she chose to star in 'See You at Work Tomorrow!'

Park Ji Hyun has shared insights into her on-screen character in See You at Work Tomorrow!.

See You at Work Tomorrow! follows Cha Ji Yoon (Park Ji Hyun) — a Korean office worker who has been in the workforce for seven years and fallen into a rut — as she becomes involved with her boss, Kang Si Woo (Seo In Guk), and begins to rediscover excitement in both work and life.

Speaking about why she decided to join the project, Park Ji Hyun said, "The script itself was incredibly entertaining." She added, "Because it tells a realistic story that everyone has likely experienced at least once, I thought many viewers would be able to relate to it."

She continued, "Work and love seem to be the most important aspects of life, yet they also remain some of the most difficult challenges." She added, "I related to Cha Ji Yoon's realistic concerns and emotions, and I wanted to portray those everyday details."

Cha Ji Yoon is an employee with seven years of experience who is recognized and respected at work but finds herself trapped in the monotony of a repetitive routine. Park Ji Hyun explained, "Cha Ji Yoon is someone who gives her all in both her work and her relationships." She continued, "Because she gives her all with such passion, she also gets hurt deeply. I felt that aspect of her is quite similar to my own personality."

When asked about the line she most related to, she chose "Let's put up at least one wall." "Even if you think you're building walls to avoid getting hurt, in the end, people who are sincere end up tearing them down without even realizing it." She added, "I could relate to the unexpected situations and outcomes that arise in that process."

Lastly, Park Ji Hyun shared, "In the drama, Cha Ji Yoon's comfort food is fried chicken, but I've recently become completely hooked on spicy braised chicken with tripe. She added, "I hope viewers will comfortably enjoy See You at Work Tomorrow! together with their own comfort food."

See You at Work Tomorrow! is coming June 22. It will be available to stream on Prime Video.
