Lee Seo-jin’s change from being boring became a key point in ‘It’s Seo-jin’

Does place change people? Lee Seo-jin, who used to be grumpy and grumpy, changed 180 degrees after becoming president. The vice president who used to be bothered by everything in the world but only showed more enthusiasm than anyone else for the sake of the store's profits and 'appealed' his claims, suddenly became the CEO of 'Dapjeongner'. And this change became a new key point in tvN's 'Seojin', which could have been boring.

'Seojin's', which first aired on the 24th, is a new franchise restaurant following 'Youn's Restaurant', and actor Seojin Lee, who played a role as a director in 'Youn's Restaurant', has been promoted to president and runs a restaurant in Mexico. Led by President Lee Seo-jin, Director Jung Yu-mi, Manager Park Seo-joon, intern Choi Woo-sik, and BTS' V came together.

Lee Seo-jin, who was the vice president of 'Youn's Restaurant' and helped Yoon Yeo-jeong run the restaurant. When asked how he felt about becoming the president, he was satisfied and said, "It was nice to be able to do what I wanted without worrying about what anyone thought." As he said, in 'Youn's Restaurant', Lee Seo-jin only played the role of assisting Youn Yeo-jeong and serving drinks in the hall rather than actively expressing his opinions.

However, in 'Seojin's Family' without Yoon Yeo-jeong, Lee Seo-jin reigns like a king in front of the president. Under the belief that profit is king, he put pressure on his employees and thoroughly divided work according to rank.

Jung Yu-mi and Park Seo-joon, who co-starred in 'Youn's Kitchen', were embarrassed by his appearance, saying, "This is not the person I used to know." V, the newly joined youngest member, also had a hard time saying, “I’m confused. Is the boss a good person? Is he a bad person?”

However, this is something that was not seen in 'Youn's Restaurant' and 'Yoon's Stay' and is bringing a unique sense of fun. When Yoon Yeo-jeong was the owner, she cooked and communicated with customers, creating the feeling of a restaurant run by a friendly grandmother. Seojin Lee was a trustworthy assistant.

However, in 'Seo Jin's', Lee Seo Jin moves much more actively and shows an emotional side that is influenced by the presence or absence of customers from the first day. And as a result, the employees' cries became louder and they laughed.

Accordingly, 'Seojin's' got off to a good start from the first episode, surpassing the average of 8.8% and the highest of 11.4% based on households nationwide.

Lee Seo-jin, who was loved for her 'Tom and Jerry' chemistry with PD Na in the 'Grandpas Over Flowers', 'Three Meals a Day', 'Youn's Kitchen', 'Youn's Stay' series, and 'Lee Seo-jin's New York, New York'. However, due to a relationship that has been repeated for nearly 10 years, there has often been a reaction that there is no freshness. Expectations are already high that 'Seojin's' will discover a new side of Lee Seojin, who has become boring.
