Why fans love it

Adapted from a webcomic, this 2025 romantic comedy-drama turns an awkward past connection into workplace tension. Baek Su-jeong, a dedicated planning team leader at a major department store, finds her professional routine upended when her new boss arrives. The surprise is not just his executive authority, but his identity. He is Ban Ju-yeon, her first love from an online game sixteen years ago, stirring up old memories of his confession and her subsequent rejection.

Fans of cheerful romcoms appreciate how the series mixes corporate dynamics with nostalgic personal history. Led by Mun Ka-young, the show balances humorous office encounters with the lingering emotions of an old digital romance. The setup provides a lighthearted blend of drama and comedy, driven by the unique embarrassment of managing a career alongside a former gaming partner who was once turned away.
