Ryu Seung-ryong's Desperate Sales Push for Promotion in 'A Bachelor's Office Romance'

Actor Ryu Seung-ryong is set to launch a final defensive battle to prevent being overlooked for a promotion and secure an executive position.

The fourth episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'A Bachelor's Office Romance' (hereafter 'Office Romance'), airing on the 2nd, will depict the poignant sales efforts of Manager Kim Nak-su (played by Ryu Seung-ryong) and his Sales Team 1 as they strive to survive within the ACT Sales Headquarters.

Kim Nak-su, the head of ACT Sales Headquarters' Sales Team 1, is just one step away from an executive promotion but has been plagued by continuous misfortune. His position is becoming increasingly precarious due to a series of setbacks, including the bitter resignation of a colleague from the same intake year, issues with an IT creator's video, and the failed contract for the Yangpyeong Cultural Center.

To add to his troubles, a commemorative photo taken during a golf outing with executives from the top three telecommunications companies has caught the attention of Fair Trade Commission officials, signaling another crisis. A posting for a Safety Management Team Leader position at the Asan factory, known as a place of exile, has surfaced, and Kim Nak-su's lifeline, Managing Director Baek Jung-tae (Yoo Seung-mok), is also favoring Vice President Do Jin-woo (Lee Shin-ki).

Sensing the imminent danger, Kim Nak-su will embark on a desperate struggle with his team members to avoid missing out on the promotion. He proposes a hands-on sales approach to his team in exchange for high performance reviews.

The released photos show the team members deeply moved by Kim Nak-su's impassioned speech. Kim Nak-su is seen diligently working with Assistant Manager Jung Sung-gu (Jung Soon-won) to meet clients and secure contracts, tugging at the heartstrings of viewers. The duo exhibits remarkable chemistry, employing sales tactics that leave clients unable to refuse signing the contract.

Will the whirlwind sales efforts of Kim Nak-su and Assistant Manager Jung lead to favorable performance evaluation results? The story of Ryu Seung-ryong and Sales Team 1's tearful sales war, driven by the motto 'If it doesn't work, we'll go out and do it,' will unfold in the fourth episode of JTBC's 'Office Romance' airing tonight (2nd) at 10:30 PM.

Netizens are expressing strong empathy and support for Ryu Seung-ryong's portrayal of the character's desperate situation. Comments include: "Really looking forward to this episode! Go Manager Kim!" "As expected from Ryu Seung-ryong, he perfectly embodies the character" and "I thought it was going to be frustrating, but I'm hoping for a satisfying resolution!".
