Lotto winner who still goes to work ends with a series-high 6.2%

The numbers first

On Nielsen Korea's pay-platform household measure, the finale hit 6.2% nationwide and 6.5% in the Seoul area, peaking at 7.2% and 7.7%. It was No. 1 in its time slot, cable and general-programming channels included.

On TVING it held No. 1 in weekend subscription contribution for four weeks running, and in weekly subscription contribution too, still going strong in week five.

Why go to work with 1.3 billion won?

Team leader Gong Eun-tae (Lee Jun-hyuk) wins 1.3 billion won in the lottery and keeps turning up at the office anyway. Jostling with his Sales Team 5 colleagues, he learns that it is not the windfall but you yourself who changes your life.

Seo Hyun-woo's Yang Jun-ho and Oh Dae-hwan's Jeong Seon-hyeok grow into pillars of the team. It is based on a web novel by Seo In-ha.

The cast's goodbyes

Lee Jun-hyuk thanked viewers who stayed with Eun-tae to the end. Seo Hyun-woo said that in a fast-changing world, the conflict and warmth of human relationships seem to have no trends.

Oh Dae-hwan said he laughed a lot and was very happy on set, and is sorry it's over.

The director's casting call

Director Yoon Young-bin recalled seeing about 300 people in casting. He wanted Lee Jun-hyuk to hold the centre while the cast around him flew, and says that is exactly what happened.

The mood on set, with Yoon both writing and directing, is in TVING's official behind-the-scenes video for episodes 9-10 above.
