Lee Jun Hyuk, Seo Hyun Woo, And Oh Dae Hwan Bring Office Drama To Life At Script Reading For Upcoming Drama

Jun 25, 2025

TVING’s upcoming original series “Lotto 1st Place Winner Goes to Work Too” (literal title) has shared a glimpse of its first script reading session!

Based on the webtoon of the same name, “Lotto 1st Place Winner Goes to Work Too” tells the story of Gong Eun Tae (Lee Jun Hyuk), an ordinary sales employee who wins the lottery jackpot. Though the prize—1.3 billion won (approximately $950,000)—isn’t quite enough to dramatically change his life, Gong Eun Tae sees it as the ultimate emotional safety net. Rather than quit, he continues to show up to work, determined to face his daily office life with a new mindset.

Lee Jun Hyuk stars as Gong Eun Tae, the hardworking team leader of Sales Team 5 at Hongsung International, who has spent his entire life trying to stay out of trouble and live “normally.” Just when he fears boredom is all he has to show for his years of effort—he wins the lottery. As he begins to reevaluate his life and purpose, viewers will follow his relatable, heartfelt growth.

Lee Jun Hyuk shared, “After reading the script, I spoke with a friend who works in an office. This story is really about how office workers find a way to connect and understand one another. I thought it might offer some comfort to office workers out there. I’m also looking forward to working with Seo Hyun Woo and Oh Dae Hwan—it should be a fun team-up. Please look forward to it!”

Seo Hyun Woo plays Yang Jun Ho, Gong Eun Tae’s problematic teammate and deputy manager of Sales Team 5. After cruising through a golden youth, Jun Ho now faces the harsh reality of a stagnating career. When Gong Eun Tae—who joined the company a year after him—gets promoted first, Jun Ho spirals into resentment and becomes a difficult colleague. But slowly, he learns to confront reality and discovers how to support others rather than resist change.

Seo Hyun Woo commented, “I was drawn to the premise—what if a regular office worker suddenly won the lottery? The story unfolds with a realism and emotional depth that intrigued me. I want to share that same excitement with viewers. I’m also really looking forward to the back-and-forth dynamic with Lee Jun Hyuk and the ensemble cast. Please look forward to it.”

Oh Dae Hwan transforms into Jung Sun Hyuk, the often-overlooked team leader of Sales Team 4. Though he’s lived his life by the book, he repeatedly fails to get promoted and is now forced to reckon with an unforgiving reality. Learning the hard way that relationships and connection can outweigh competence, he makes a bold decision to become an opportunist—for the sake of self-preservation.

Oh Dae Hwan shared, “I’m truly happy to be part of the drama. It’s a pleasure to reunite with a director and team I’ve worked with before. This drama carries a good message. I’ll give it my all to deliver a great drama for viewers.”
