The Coupang Play series 'Workers' (directed by Kim Min-Kang Na-rae), which was first released on the 23rd, was praised as a unique office comedy. 'Workers' is an office survival of MZs who become 'Kindai' between AZ and GenZ against the backdrop of DY Planning, a small and medium-sized marketing company in crisis.
The first episode, which was released, began with the first commute of Hyun Bong-sik, a new deputy of unexpected visuals born in 1984, who joined DY Planning, a marketing company led by CEO Shin Dong-yup. Representative Shin Dong-yeop, manager Kim Min-kyo, manager Lee Soo-ji, deputy Hyun Bong-sik, chief Kim Won-hoon, employee Ji Ye-eun and Cha Jung-won (Carder Garden), and intern Shim Ja-yoon (STAYC Yoon) succeeded in hunting laughter by boasting a creepy synchro rate with real office villains who have seen each other since their way to work.
In particular, Hyun Bong-sik, a new assistant manager who just moved to DY Planning, looks at the office of DY Planning, which is empty due to the tardiness of all employees from the first day of work, and shows how anxious he is brought a smile to one's face. Kim Won-hoon, the head of the department who delayed because he couldn't hear the alarm, seemed to barely escape the tardiness issue with a clever brain rotation, but he sweated due to the factual explosion of Cha Jung-won, his junior. In addition to this, the eight cast members were completely transformed into office workers from the MZ generation to the Gen-Z generation, including a face-to-face double bathing parade by junior Ji Ye-eun during the planning meeting. In addition, he sought to raise the salary of Kim Won-hoon, the head of the company, but the scenery of DY's executives and employees who showed Won-hoon 's 'knife loss' with the wink of CEO Shin Dong-yup, melted the real grievances of real office workers and stimulated viewers' consensus of 'funny'.
Actress Hye-ri, who visited DY Planning as a guest in the first episode and as an advertising model for 「Slow Aging Lunch Box」, also stood out. Hye-ri shook DY's plan properly by showing a different chemistry with the cast who turned into real office workers, pushing and pulling and ad-libbing without hesitation. In particular, the Battle of "It's Fun" was summoned on this day, and it was sublimated into a joke, drawing attention. Cadergarden turned to Hye-ri and wondered why she was using her cell phone like that, and Shin Dong-yup said, "That's where it all comes from." Shin Dong-yup also said "Since Hye-ri doesn't drink, she's never posted something on social media while drinking, right? Then you've never regretted it, have you?" asked, and Hyeri said "There is never a time in drinking." At this, Kim Won-hoon said "It's very fun to do it soberly" and mentioned the battle between Hye-ri, her ex-girlfriend Ryu Jun-yeol, and Han So-hee last year "It's fun" Hye-ri looks at herself and tells Kim Won-hoon "Please refrain from being funny" to Shin Dong-yup "I think you can just tell him that it's only fun when it's fun." It's not funny at the moment."

From the beginning 'Workers', which showed signs of a huge hit with office comedy 'More Real Than Real', showed off the prowess of the creation of a different genre of script half and ad-lib half, showing off its all-time scale. The brilliant ad-libs of the cast members that do not know where they will stand out caused fresh laughter and scratched various real-world issues that caused a reality hit for office workers with real acting. From the popping subtitle effect that seems to have just popped out of the documentary to the realistic drama development that seems to be a detailed look at the common daily life around it, it gave viewers a pleasant catharsis.
Presenting a new trend of hyperrealist office comedy and shooting at viewers' laughter codes, 'Workers' is released every Saturday at 8 p.m. on Coupang Play.
