LatestEveryone helps out in exposing Koo Ja Sook and clearing Yeol Chan's name. With their help, Ja Sook gets what she deserves, and Yeol Chan becomes Joonsu Food's managing director. However, when he sets things straight, Yeol Chan resigns and starts a company of his own.
After graduation, Ka Yeol-Chan landed his first job at a company. His boss there, Lee Man-Shik, was a "kkondae" which refers to a rigid, old school type of person. He would force his old school ways of thinking on Ka Yeol-Chan. Due to Lee Man-Sik and his old school ways of thinking, Ka Yeol-Chan quit his job there. Ka Yeol-Chan then found a job at a ramen company. He worked very hard and was promoted unusually quickly, due to his radical planning and aggressive marketing. Ka Yeol-Chan now works as the chief of the sales and marketing department at the ramen company. His position actually wields the most power in the company. One day, Ka Yeol-Chan gets a senior age intern. That intern is Lee Man-Shik, who gave him such a hard time at his first job.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
'Kkondae' is peak Korean workplace slang — originally mocking rigid elders, now weaponized by millennials. The term exploded on social media during this show's run.
Park Hae-jin improvised several of Yeol-chan's most savage takedowns. Director Shin kept them because Kim Eung-soo's genuine flinches were too perfect to cut.
