🔥 Kang Ki-doong Joins Seo In-guk & Park Ji-hyun in tvN’s New Office Romance, ‘Tomorrow!’ 🏢✨
Hello Korea Fam! Your Drama & Cinema Analyst, Hannah Choi, here with some absolutely buzzing news straight from Seoul! Get ready to mark your calendars (or set your future streaming reminders!) because a fan-favorite scene-stealer is officially joining what’s set to be one of the most anticipated K-dramas of 2026.
The incredibly versatile and utterly dependable actor, Kang Ki-doong, has officially confirmed his role in tvN’s upcoming drama, ‘Tomorrow!’ (or ‘Naeildo Chulgeun!’ if you prefer the original Korean!). He’ll be joining the already stellar lineup featuring the charismatic Seo In-guk and the ever-charming Park Ji-hyun, promising a dynamic trio we can’t wait to see in action.
Speaking of ‘Tomorrow!’, this highly anticipated series, directed by Jo Eun-sol and written by Kim Kyung-min, is an office romance drama that promises to hit close to home for many. The plot follows Cha Ji-yoon (played by Park Ji-hyun), a 7-year veteran office worker grappling with a serious work slump. In a bid to avoid the absolute “worst,” she opts for “the lesser evil” – her seemingly prickly boss, Kang Si-woo (portrayed by Seo In-guk). Their journey is all about how they become each other’s irreplaceable “best.” Adding to its buzz, the drama is based on Macqueen Studio’s popular webtoon of the same name, which boasts an impressive cumulative 200 million views!
Now, let’s talk about Kang Ki-doong’s role. He’s stepping into the shoes of Jeon Ki-tae, a character who teams up with Park Ji-hyun and Seo In-guk on a pivotal project. Jeon Ki-tae is described as a realistic family man, a father of two sons, who steadfastly navigates the often-tough corporate world while balancing childcare responsibilities. He’s also that kind-hearted “busybody” who shows up to work daily, always ready to lend a hand. We’re expecting Kang Ki-doong to deliver a hyper-realistic performance that resonates deeply with K-office workers and dual-income couples globally. His role is set to be a vital “pillar” and a “chemistry fairy,” closely observing and influencing the main leads’ relationship, bringing significant energy and life to the narrative.
Hannah Choi’s Take: Kang Ki-doong joining this cast is a genius move! His ability to ground any role in reality while injecting a unique charm makes him perfect for Jeon Ki-tae. He’s the kind of actor who doesn’t just support, but actively elevates the entire ensemble, especially in a character-driven office drama like this. I predict he’ll be a key ingredient in making the lead couple’s dynamic feel even more authentic and relatable.
What’s truly exciting is Kang Ki-doong’s incredible track record. He’s known for his strong character assimilation and ability to transcend genres with powerful performances:
- 🎭 Proving his mettle across various mediums, he’s a true industry veteran.
- 📺 His 2025 slate alone includes dramas like ‘Good Woman Bu Se-mi’ and ‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’.
- 🎶 Beyond the screen, he’s a formidable stage presence in musicals like ‘Showman’ and the play ‘On the Beat’.
- ✨ Currently, he’s captivating audiences in JTBC’s weekend drama ‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’.
A representative from Kang Ki-doong’s agency, Spring E&T, shared their excitement, stating that he “boasts an extraordinary absorption rate for any character” and will transform into a “realistic family man” for ‘Tomorrow!’. They added, “Kang Ki-doong’s magic, which makes the drama even more vibrant, will be unleashed once again. Please look forward to it.” We certainly will!
With such a talented cast and a compelling webtoon origin, tvN’s ‘Tomorrow!’ is shaping up to be a must-watch in 2026. We here at Hello Korea can’t wait to see Kang Ki-doong bring his unique flavor to this office romance!
