Park Min-young Leads Prime Video’s “Nine to Six” on Nov. 25

By Grace Kim

Prime Video premieres “Nine to Six,” starring Park Min-young, on Nov. 25 across 240-plus countries and territories. The 12-episode Korean office romance (a love story structured around workplace hierarchy) also stars Yook Sung-jae of BtoB and Go Soo. Park, the star of “Marry My Husband,” takes the lead.

The legal-office triangle

Prime Video’s synopsis places Kang Yi-ji on Chronic Motors’ legal team as a senior manager. Prime Video describes a male-dominated workplace in which Yi-ji has carved out her place through logic and professional drive.

Yi-ji regards love and marriage as little more than a passing chemical impulse. Her mother pushed her toward law, although she once wanted to study astronomy.

Two men unsettle that settled identity. Yook plays Han Sun-woo, a legal intern who prefers designing jewelry and trusts instinct over logic.

When danger threatens Yi-ji, Sun-woo shields her without hesitation. Prime Video frames that act as the point at which she may begin to see him differently.

In the same synopsis, Go plays Park Hyun-tae, an executive director in Chronic Motors’ Seoul office. He returns from the company’s European headquarters after advancing through its corporate ranks at a young age.

Hyun-tae has long believed that romance complicates life. Yi-ji’s competence earns his respect, and that respect puts his conviction to the test.

The synopsis sets Sun-woo’s openness against Hyun-tae’s grasp of Yi-ji’s ambitions. Yi-ji must decide whether she can let someone into her life without sacrificing the career she has spent years building.

Her conflict has a specific mechanism: professional judgment governs romance before personal feeling can. Workplace hierarchy is part of the romantic bargain, rather than a convenient backdrop.

The creative team

Prime Video’s production credits name Choi Ji-oh as the writer. Lee Hyung-min and Oh Song-hee share the directing duties.

Lee’s credits include “Strong Girl Bong-soon,” “Miss Night and Day” and “I’m Sorry, I Love You.” Oh’s credits include “The Escape of the Seven.”

Prime Video identifies the following earlier work for its three lead performers:

• Park Min-young: “Siren’s Kiss” and “Confidence Queen.”
• Yook Sung-jae: “The Haunted Palace,” “The Golden Spoon” and “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God.”
• Go Soo: “Missing: The Other Side,” “Colony” and “Parole Examiner Lee.”

What does “Nine to Six” change for Prime Video viewers?

For viewers choosing Korean drama on Nov. 25, the release adds a legal-workplace romance built around a 12-episode structure and a clear workplace hierarchy. Park plays a senior manager; Yook plays a legal intern; Go plays an executive director.

Their positions make attraction consequential. The intern can shield Yi-ji in danger, while the executive must reconsider his suspicion of romance after her competence earns his respect.

Prime Video’s existing lineup already includes:

• “Love in Disguise”
• “A Love Other Than Yours”
• “See You at Work Tomorrow!”
• “Spring Fever”
• “Surely Tomorrow”
• “Head Over Heels”
• “Good Boy”

Within that slate, “Nine to Six” adds a legal office and a heroine whose career determines the emotional terms. Its workplace does not serve as decorative scenery. For Prime Video, the Nov. 25 launch puts a clear proposition to viewers: intimacy can enter the workplace without displacing the professional identity built inside it.
