'Today's Webtoon' Episode 2: Neon Webtoon's Dissolvement
In the pilot episode, it was revealed that On Ma Eum's (Kim Sejeong) new company has been struggling to create traffic and entice more readers for three consecutive years.
The webtoon service team can't afford to lose any more readers, especially artists, to stay in the race. However, in episode 2, Baek Eo Jin (Kim Kap Soo) withdraws his submitted episodes, delaying the release of his webtoon.
Thankfully, On Ma Eum finds the solution to the team's problem and successfully appeases the webtoon artist. Baek Eo Jin is once again filled with motivation, releasing episode after episode with the help of his junior webtoon writers.
On the other hand, Goo Joon Young (Nam Yoon Su) feels demotivated being in the webtoon service team as he can't show his full potential, especially when he learns that the team will eventually be dissolved.

With the great news that graced the webtoon service team, team leader Jang Man Cheol (Park Ho San) treats everyone to a great samgyupsal (grilled pork belly) and beer dinner.

The two become more awkward than ever at work. On Ma Eum tries to brighten the atmosphere up with her optimism.
However, Goo Joon Young crushes her bubble, expressing his sentiments. For him, being optimistic and saying things such as "do your best" and "cheer up" is useless, especially when he has been doing his best all his life and still fails.
On Ma Eum learns more about her mysterious colleague and understands where he comes from. Opposite to Goo Joon Young who only grows curious about the former Judo player.
Goo Joon Young Plans To Resign
Some webtoon artists consider their producers as a personal manager and unfortunately, Goo Joon Young was one of them.
Their worldwide known webtoon artist Pomme (Han Yul Ri) asks him for his help even in declogging her toilet. When the webtoon service teams learn about this, Goo Joon Young feels rage and embarrassment intensify inside his body.
More than ever, he becomes determined to resign. On Ma Eum hears about his phone call and stops him from doing so, raising curiosity as to what kind of relationship they will have in the succeeding episodes.
