Win the lottery jackpot but go to work instead of resigning? From the airing schedule of the drama 'Lotto Winner Also Goes to Work' to the plot and ending spoilers of the original webtoon and web novel! We’ve summarized all the key points for you.

 

1. Drama <Even the Lottery Winner Goes to Work> Basic Information & Broadcast Schedule

This new series stars actors Lee Joon-hyuk, Seo Hyun-woo, and Oh Dae-hwan! As you'll tell from the plot, it's a total office comedy that K-office workers can relate to 200%. I'll give you the most important thing, the broadcast schedule, so make sure to save it to your calendar.

2. Plot & Unique Viewing Points Unique to the Drama!

The protagonist, Gong Eun-tae (Lee Jun-hyuk), moved up from Busan to Seoul and rose to the position of Sales Team 5 Manager, but he was a typical K-office worker who was pushed around by superiors and subordinates every day and forced to do menial tasks for the department.

Then, the lottery ticket I bought out of habit suddenly won first prize! The prize money was around 1.3 to 1.8 billion won. It wasn't quite enough to buy an apartment in Seoul and live off work for the rest of my life, but I gained a tremendous 'armor of the mind' that told me, "I can make a living even if I quit my job anytime."

 

If you used to live intimidated, constantly watching your superiors, after winning, you start confidently delivering satisfying blows against unfair company situations. And guess what? Since you're unleashing your full potential without worrying about what others think, both your work and relationships are going much better!

 

The super fun points unique to the drama version!

I heard that unlike the original, the drama has been adapted with a 'no-romance' setting, completely removing the romance line and focusing solely on the office drama aspect! Since they say it doesn't stray into a love story and is packed with refreshing, genuine office worker moments, isn't that even more exciting?

 

3. Warning: Spoilers for the Original Webtoon & Web Novel Endings!

"So, will the protagonist eventually quit? Or will they stay?" For those of you who are super curious about the ending, I'm going to reveal a little spoiler from the original work!

Based on the original web novel (completed at chapter 325), Gong Eun-tae's future 10 years later is shown, and surprisingly, Eun-tae does not quit the company but gets promoted to the executive position of 'Senior Managing Director'!

In the past, I was busy watching my superiors' every move, but now I’ve risen to a boss-level position where people at the company watch my every move. And I marry the person I love, have two cute children, and continue a simple and ordinary work life, reaching a happy conclusion.

 

In the end, thanks to the reliable support of the prize money, he was able to succeed to the very end without losing his mental fortitude in the jungle that is the company. It's a satisfying and healing ending.

4. Check the Key Character Relationship Chart!

Gong Eun-tae (Lee Joon-hyuk): Team Leader of Sales Team 5. A refreshing character who, after winning the lottery jackpot, armed himself with confidence instead of submitting a resignation letter.

Yang Jun-ho (Seo Hyun-woo): Assistant Manager of Sales Team 5. He is jealous when Eun-tae, his junior by one year, becomes the team leader first, but later becomes a reliable assistant.

Jeong Seon-hyeok (Oh Dae-hwan): Sales Team 4 Manager. A rival team leader who transformed into an opportunist after being perpetually passed over for promotion and becoming a punching bag.

 

The real highlights seem to be the chemistry between the team leader and assistant manager after their roles were swapped, and the pride-fueled performance competition between Sales Team 4 and Sales Team 5!
