Kim Sejeong Excitedly Pursues Dreams As Editor in 'Today's Webtoon'
Ahead of the drama premiere, SBS TV's newest office rom-com drama "Today's Webtoon" starring Kim Sejeong, Choi Daniel and Nam Yoon Su released a new teaser video!
"Today's Webtoon" is a South Korean remake of the popular 2016 Japanese series "Sleepeeer Hit!," which depicts the competitive atmosphere of the webtoon industry.
In the drama, Kim Sejeong transforms into On Ma Eum, a former Judo athlete who becomes a webtoon editor to pursue a new dream. As she tries to become a competent employee, hardships, prejudices and unexpected ordeals come her way.
In the newly-released teaser video, On Ma Eum joyfully introduces herself at the job interview for Neon Webtoon. While she tries to be positive, the competitive industry of webtoon scares her.
On Ma Eum looks depressed and thinks she's only destined to do Judo. However, a sudden turn of events happens and scores high at the interview, implying that she got the job.

The preview continues to show On Ma Eum's enthusiasm in everything she does, satisfying her boss with her work ethics.
"Today's Webtoon" will depict the strange and unfamiliar feeling of feeling lost in a new place, and how to cope with new things by dreaming.
Through On Ma Eum, the drama aims to give healing and comfort to those viewers who are stuck in the crossroads of life.
