The production team behind the new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama "Nine to Six" (written by Choi Ji-oh, directed by Lee Hyoung-min and Oh Song-hee), which is set to premiere on Wednesday, November 25 at 9:00 PM, released stills on October 26 capturing the volatile first encounter between Kang Yi-ji (played by Park Minyoung) and Han Sun-woo (played by Yook Sung-jae).

"Nine to Six" is an on-and-off work-life balance romance drama about a rational woman who has lived her life proving herself through work, and an affectionate, emotional man as they rewrite their definitions of work, love, and happiness together. Park Minyoung plays Kang Yi-ji, a workaholic deputy manager on the legal team who has always validated herself through work, while Yook Sung-jae stars opposite her as Han Sun-woo, a man with warm and emotional charm.

In the released stills, Kang Yi-ji blocks Han Sun-woo's path with a sharp gaze, taking the upper hand. In particular, holding the phone that Han Sun-woo dropped as "hostage" while rattling off legal clauses with a resolute demeanor, Kang Yi-ji radiates the overwhelming presence of a highly competent legal team deputy manager.

In response, Han Sun-woo's eyes go wide as he fails to hide his fluster, and he brings laughs as he points at himself to plead his innocence. Han Sun-woo's amusing helplessness in front of the sharp-witted Kang Yi-ji sparks curiosity about the unexpected antagonistic dynamic the two will showcase going forward.

As anticipation builds over how their terrible first impressions, tangled up by a misunderstanding in the middle of the street, will transform into romance, "Nine to Six" will premiere on Wednesday, November 25 at 9:00 PM.
