Park Min-young, the star of “Marry My Husband,” will lead “Nine to Six,” a Korean office romance. Yook Sung-jae of K-pop group BtoB and Go Soo co-star in the 12-episode series. Park plays Kang Yi-ji, a senior manager on the legal team at a company called Chronic Motors.
Logical and driven, Yi-ji has carved out her place in a workplace dominated by men and regards love and marriage as little more than a passing chemical impulse. She once wanted to study astronomy but went into law because her mother pushed her toward it. Yook plays Han Sun-woo, a legal intern who would rather be designing jewelry and who trusts his instincts over logic.
When Yi-ji is put in danger, he shields her without a second thought, and she may start to view him differently. Go plays Park Hyun-tae, an executive director in Chronic Motors’ Seoul office who has come back from the company’s European headquarters after climbing the corporate ladder at a young age. Hyun-tae has long been convinced that romance only complicates life.
Yi-ji, whose competence wins his respect, puts that view to the test. The series sets the younger colleague’s openness against the executive’s grasp of her ambitions, leaving Yi-ji to work out whether she can let someone in without sacrificing the career she has spent years building. Choi Ji-oh wrote the series.
Lee Hyung-min, whose credits include “Strong Girl Bong-soon,” “Miss Night and Day” and “I’m Sorry, I Love You,” directs alongside Oh Song-hee (“The Escape of the Seven”). The series debuts on Prime Video on Nov. 25 across 240-plus countries and territories. Park’s other credits include “Siren’s Kiss” and “Confidence Queen.” Yook has appeared in “The Haunted Palace,” “The Golden Spoon” and “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God,” while Go’s work includes “Missing: The Other Side,” “Colony” and “Parole Examiner Lee.” “Nine to Six” joins a Prime Video lineup that already carries “Love in Disguise,” “A Love Other Than Yours,” “See You at Work Tomorrow!,” “Spring Fever,” “Surely Tomorrow,” “Head Over Heels” and “Good Boy.”
