> Park Min-young is returning to the office romance genre with SBS's new drama 'Nine to Six', premiering November 25, after a run of underperforming projects.

## Key points

1. Park plays Kang Yi-ji, a sharp but romantically awkward legal team manager.
2. Yook Sung-jae and Go Soo co-star as her romantic counterparts.
3. Her last two dramas struggled in ratings, making this comeback a closely watched test.

## Why this comeback matters

Park Min-young is back in the genre that made her famous. According to reports from TEN Asia, her latest projects fell short of expectations, which has drawn attention to whether she can revive the rom-com appeal that earned her the nickname 'rom-com queen'.

## When and where can you watch 'Nine to Six'?

SBS's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Nine to Six' is scheduled to premiere on November 25. The story follows overworked office employees who begin to discover love with one another.

## Who is she playing?

Park plays Kang Yi-ji, a legal team manager who excels at work but struggles in matters of the heart. She shares the screen with Yook Sung-jae, who plays a warm younger man, and Go Soo, who plays an elite department head.

## Why her recent dramas struggled

In 'Confidence Queen KR' on TV Chosun, Park played a genius con artist, but ratings dropped to the 0% range. The network even changed the time slot mid-run without a clear rebound. Her tvN drama 'Siren's Kiss' fared slightly better, holding in the 4% range, though it began at 5.5% and ended at 4.5%. Reviews of her acting were mixed, with some praising restrained emotion and others pointing to weaker delivery.

## For international fans

Park's last major hit in this genre was 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim' (2018), opposite Park Seo-joon, which peaked at about 8.7%. Fans overseas can check the broadcaster's official channels for streaming details closer to the premiere.
