But as the two clash and work together, romance begins to blossom.<div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OXwXuv_O774?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></div>Echoing Hae-sun&#x27;s sentiments, Gong Myoung agreed that &quot;focusing on a corporate audit team in a Korean drama feels new and fresh.&quot;&quot;The various exciting cases that unfold are part of what gives &#x27;Filing for Love&#x27; its charm,&quot; he said.In preparing to portray Ki-jun, Gong Myoung &quot;relied on insights from friends in the corporate world.&quot;&quot;Beyond the research, I focused heavily on Ki-jun&#x27;s aesthetic — specifically his wardrobe and how he presents himself. I actually find that his reaction to being demoted is a very accurate reflection of my true character,&quot; he said.Hae-sun said she hoped the series &quot;brings some joy to your everyday lives,&quot; while Gong Myoung teased that it &quot;gets more exciting as the story unfolds.&quot;

Workplace settings are nothing new in South Korean romantic comedies, but what sets 'Filing for Love' apart — according to its lead stars — is its focus on the main characters handling cases of misconduct involving corporate employees.
