TVING's 'Even Lottery Winners Go to Work' Follows 1.3 Billion-Won Winner

A hyper-realistic survival story about an office worker who goes to work with 1.3 billion won

Winning the lottery's top prize is a dream almost everyone has had at least once. But what drives someone to keep quietly heading to the office even after taking home a massive jackpot? TVING takes aim at the shared experiences of modern office workers with its new original series, 'Even Lottery Winners Go to Work'. The series premieres on TVING on the 10th of next month, then reaches television viewers on tvN at 9 p.m. on the 14th.

Based on the popular web novel of the same name, the series closely follows Gong Eun-tae (played by Lee Jun-hyuk), an ordinary office worker struggling to survive in a fiercely competitive reality. He experiences the miracle of winning the lottery's top prize, but instead of submitting his resignation as expected, he takes the surprising step of calmly heading to work with 1.3 billion won in winnings.

The cast, which promises to heighten the show's immersion, is also worth watching. Acclaimed actors Seo Hyun-woo and Oh Dae-hwan join the series as Gong Eun-tae's co-workers, setting the stage for a powerful ensemble. Each is expected to bring energy to the series by giving a vivid, multidimensional portrayal of modern people with differing values and desires.

The protagonist's extraordinary office life, as he tries to preserve his daily routine after amassing enormous wealth, offers more than simple wish fulfillment. It raises weighty questions about the true value of work and the purpose of life. The question now is what kind of impact 'Even Lottery Winners Go to Work', which aims to open a new chapter for original series, will have on the content market in the second half of this year.
