Coupang Play’s hit comedy series Office Workers 2 just hit an all-time high, pulling in an astounding 881% viewership spike in its latest episode and proving it’s one of the most buzzworthy Korean workplace comedies of 2025.
According to Coupang Play on the 9th, the Jo Yeo-jeong and Jeong Seong-il special (released on the 6th) smashed previous records and delivered the show’s biggest audience to date.
So, what’s fueling this explosive growth?
👉 Authentic humor office workers relate to. The cast’s sharp ad-libs mirror real-life office frustrations and inside jokes, making every scene hit close to home.
👉 Star-studded comedic cameos. Big-name guests dive headfirst into quirky roles, adding fresh energy and keeping fans guessing.
👉 Scene-stealing performances. From Baek Hyun-jin’s “Manager Who” shaking up the DY Planning team to Kim Won-hoon’s unpredictable ad-libs, the chemistry and improv bring an almost too real office vibe.
Episode 5, in particular, became a fan favorite for its tension and laugh-out-loud “possessed ad-libs,” sparking social media chatter and cementing Kim Won-hoon as the breakout comedic force of the season.
At its core, Office Workers 2 isn’t just a sitcom, it’s a satirical survival story about salaryman Lupin and his colleagues battling office politics, impossible clients, and the eternal dream of clocking out on time.
