• tvN Monday-Tuesday Drama 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow Too!' Interview with Actor Seo In-guk, who plays Kang Si-woo

In the drama 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow Too!', Seo In-guk opened up about turning 40.

On the 29th, Seo In-guk shared various insights during an interview held at a café in Jongno-gu, Seoul, regarding the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow Too!' (written by Kim Kyung-min, directed by Jo Eun-sol).

'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow Too!' is an office romance where Ji Cha-yoon (played by Park Ji-hyun), a seven-year veteran employee suffering from daily monotony, and her sharp-tongued boss Kang Si-woo (played by Seo In-guk) become each other's irreplaceable bests, reigniting excitement in both work and love. In the drama, Seo In-guk portrays Kang Si-woo, a section chief at Saem Electronics' DA Business Division who prioritizes principles and efficiency above all else.

Seo In-guk revealed that as his acting career has progressed, he has become more adaptable on set. He explained, "When the director asks for specific emotional expressions, I can deliver them much faster now. In the past, if there was a scene where I suddenly had to switch from being quiet to shouting, it required mental preparation and understanding time that took longer. Now, I have the flexibility to do it immediately."

He added, "I think experience naturally comes with time. Having more experience means you can better align and execute what happens on set and what you want to try. In the past, I only focused on the emotional lines with my co-actors from the script, but now I can also sense the overall condition of the current filming environment. Looking back, it seems senior actors have done this all along."

Born in 1987, he also shared his honest feelings about turning 40 this year. Seo In-guk said, "While filming my upcoming project 'The Company That Sees Fate' yesterday, Jung Su-jeong suddenly asked me, 'Do you feel like your age right now?' When I talk with my friends, they still seem like high school friends, and I feel like I'm in my 20s. Even though I am 40, it doesn't fully feel real yet. It's similar to how I felt when filming dramas in my early 30s."

However, he also admitted, "I got quite injured while filming, so now I finally understand what the seniors were talking about. When I wake up in the morning and feel stiff, it seems like the weather is gloomy too."

Seo In-guk hinted at his continued success as a 'romance drama master' even in his 40s. He stated, "I will do my best to take care of myself so that I can continue to support the meeting of stories and characters." He further added, "Dramas like 'Reply 1988' and 'High School King: Lonely' from my 20s were met at the right age. 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow Too!' was also a character that could not be portrayed in one's 20s or 30s. It seems I am naturally encountering romance dramas suitable for my current age."
