The popular Naver webtoon "Sangnamja" is being adapted into a series.

The story centers around a man who, after relentlessly pursuing success and becoming the CEO of a major corporation, loses everything overnight. He then finds himself back in time as a new hire from twenty years ago, giving him a chance to reinvent his life. The original web novel was adapted into a webtoon in 2020 and has since exceeded 470 million views globally.
Park Jungmin plays the lead character Han Yoo-hyun, who ascends from an entry-level position to become the youngest CEO—before traveling back to the past. Bae Sungwoo takes on the role of Deputy Department Head Kim Hyun-min, known for his sharp insight. Kim Jihyun portrays perfectionist Manager Choi Minhee, Jung Moonseong is Deputy Manager Kim Young-gil who has an engineering background, Moon Sanghoon is Deputy Manager Park Seungwoo, Han Yoo-hyun's mentor, and Kim Min plays Lee Chan-ho, a highly passionate employee.
Lee Jungeun appears as Director Cho Chanyoung, a powerful figure within the organization. Kim Seolhyun will play her secretary, Lee Aerin, and Lee Kwangsoo will make a special appearance as Chairman Shin Kyung-soo. Kim Daemyung stars as Department Head Lee Kyunghoon, who is in conflict with Han Yoo-hyun, while Lee Sangyi plays Kwon Sejoong, Han Yoo-hyun's colleague who joined the company at the same time.
