Can 'Going to Work Tomorrow Too!' break the 4% barrier?

With only two episodes remaining until its finale, the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Going to Work Tomorrow Too!' is racing toward the romantic conclusion of Kang Si-woo (Seo In-guk) and Cha Ji-yoon (Park Ji-hyun). Although it garnered significant attention as an adaptation of a popular webtoon of the same name, it has struggled to achieve a rebound in viewership ratings since its premiere.

On the 27th, ahead of the 11th episode, the production team released stills capturing the evolving relationship between Si-woo and Ji-yoon.

The released photos show the two holding hands tightly, alongside a scene where Si-woo warmly embraces Ji-yoon. Their transformation—revealing their feelings for one another without worrying about the gaze of colleagues after officially acknowledging their office romance—is drawing significant attention.

In a previous episode, Si-woo offered a calm proposal to Ji-yoon, suggesting marriage as a realistic future option.

However, after Go Chae-guk (Hong Woo-jin) exposed the past between Si-woo and Soojin (Park Ye-young), rumors surrounding the pair spread through the company. Watching this unfold, Ji-yoon made a decisive move to protect the person she loves by publicly declaring, "I am dating the Manager," in front of her colleagues.

While her answer regarding marriage has been postponed, viewers are eager to see how their story concludes.

Despite the narrative tension, the drama's performance has fallen short of expectations.

'Going to Work Tomorrow Too!' received high interest from the production stage due to its popular webtoon source material and made a smooth start with a nationwide viewership rating of 4.8% during its premiere on the 22nd of last month.

However, since then, it has remained consistently in the 4% range through episode 10, with the premiere still holding as its highest viewership rating to date.

Online, reactions have included comments such as, "The charm of the original webtoon wasn't fully brought to life," "The chemistry between Seo In-guk and Park Ji-hyun isn't as explosive as expected," and "The synchronization between the original characters and the actors is somewhat disappointing.'

Nevertheless, the fact that the viewership rating has stayed in the 4% range without dropping into the 3% range demonstrates the support of a loyal viewership base.

'Going to Work Tomorrow Too!' is an Office romance depicting the process of Cha Ji-yoon, a seven-year veteran office worker experiencing burnout, as she works with her prickly boss, Si-woo, and becomes irreplaceable to one another.

Attention is now focused on whether the drama can achieve a successful conclusion and a rebound in viewership ratings in its final two episodes.
