Ryu Seung Ryong Goes All In For A Promotion Push In “The Dream Life of Mr. Kim”
JTBC’s weekend drama “The Dream Life of Mr. Kim” has unveiled fresh stills that raise the stakes for Kim Nak Soo, a veteran manager whose path to promotion takes an unexpected turn from the boardroom to the sales floor.
Adapted from a webtoon, the series follows a middle-aged man who loses what he once valued and gradually discovers that his worth isn’t tied to a lofty title but to living truthfully as himself.
After a brutal setback with an executive promotion within reach, Kim Nak Soo (Ryu Seung Ryong) doubles down. Feeling the pressure to deliver, he proposes a back-to-basics strategy: leading from the front by personally joining the sales grind to secure top marks on performance evaluations.
The new photos capture his team rallying behind a rousing pep talk, with Jung Sung Gu (Jung Soon Won) stepping out alongside him to meet clients and lock in contracts. Their on-the-ground hustle hints at camaraderie and grit—and leaves viewers eager to see how their results will be scored.
Why this arc hits home
Workplace realism: a leader owning the grind when the scoreboard matters most.
Character-driven payoff: Nak Soo’s shift from title-chasing to value-driven action.
Team synergy: a mentor-mentee dynamic that turns pressure into momentum.
The next episode airs at 10:30 p.m. KST on JTBC. Expect a field-sales montage, tense evaluation scenes, and Ryu Seung Ryong’s signature, quietly scorching charisma.
