[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] On tvN’s “Going to Work Tomorrow Too!”, just as Seo In-guk and Park Ji-hyun confirmed their feelings for each other, a misunderstanding regarding a trip to the U.S. drove them apart.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research firm, on the 7th, the fifth episode of tvN’s Monday-Tuesday drama “Going to Work Tomorrow Too!”—titled “Even on a Meeting, It’s Still Work!”—which aired on the 6th, recorded an average viewership rating of 4.846% and a peak of 6.1% nationwide, and an average of 5.3% and a peak of 6.5% in the Seoul metropolitan area. The viewership rating for the first episode was an average of 4.812% based on national households, so this episode broke the record by a narrow margin.
That day, Cha Ji-yoon (played by Park Ji-hyun) witnessed Kang Si-woo (played by Seo In-guk) having an affectionate conversation with his ex-wife Choi Soo-jin (played by Park Ye-young) in front of the elevator. She tried to reassure herself by asking, “Do they stay friends even after breaking up?” but she couldn’t deny that just watching the two of them made her heart race. Later, in a conversation with Yoon No-ah (played by Kang Mi-na), Cha Ji-yoon asked, “What’s with my heart racing when I see two people who’ve broken up?” When No-ah replied, “Do you like him?” Ji-yoon hastily denied it but couldn’t hide her increasingly wavering feelings.
When Cha Ji-yoon came across Kang Si-woo asleep in the product showroom, she used her body to block the sunlight from his face. As she gazed closely at his face, she revealed her true feelings by saying, “His face is definitely my type,” fueling her fluttering heart. When Kang Si-woo opened his eyes, Cha Ji-yoon fumbled her way out of the situation by pretending to swat a mosquito, while Kang Si-woo watched her with a smile—a reaction that revealed the subtle chemistry between them.
The changes continued even as they prepared for the TF project. “I want to succeed again with you, Team Leader,” said Cha Ji-yoon, who had, before she knew it, become more conscious of Kang Si-woo than of her work. Kang Si-woo, too, conveyed his sincere feelings toward her, saying, “If something like that happens again in the future, let me know. I’ll pay closer attention.” As they ran together through a sudden downpour, both smiling brightly, they showed that they were becoming each other’s greatest source of comfort.
However, their happiness was short-lived. Unable to stop thinking about Kang Si-woo’s retreating figure as he left work carrying a bouquet, Cha Ji-yoon spent her time after work scouring social media and even old college-era news articles in search of traces of him. After more than an hour of intense searching, she finally admitted to herself, “What am I doing right now?”
Meanwhile, a visit to Kang Si-woo’s home—specifically his lab—once again shook up their relationship. Inviting Cha Ji-yoon into his personal space for the first time, Kang Si-woo quietly watched her every move with a smile. When an AI system error caused the phrase “Cha Ji-yoon makes me smile” to appear on the projector screen, both of them were confronted with feelings they could no longer hide.
Kang Si-woo, too, began to realize his own feelings. After accidentally coming across a video of Cha Ji-yoon stored on his robot vacuum cleaner, he found himself smiling brightly without even realizing it, and belatedly became aware of his feelings for her. Having confirmed his feelings, Kang Si-woo ran toward Cha Ji-yoon without further hesitation.
However, fate caused the two to miss each other once again. At a social gathering, when asked, “What excites you the most these days?” Cha Ji-yoon recalled every moment she had spent with Kang Si-woo and became certain of her feelings. Immediately afterward, however, she was shocked to learn from Jeon Gi-tae (played by Kang Gi-dong) that Kang Si-woo would be returning to the U.S. branch once the TF project was over.
Amidst this, the two came face to face across the street. Kang Si-woo, who answered the phone with a cheerful smile, asked, “Should I come over?” But Cha Ji-yoon, now fully aware of the situation, replied with a wavering gaze, “Don’t come.” She then added, “I’m leaving this TF project,” signaling a crisis in their relationship.
