Sales Team 3

Jang Geu-rae

The Determinator
Earn Your Happy Ending
Hidden Depths: Keeps quiet about his history as a favored baduk player. Although a professional career didn't pan out, the game gave him an analytical, patient mind and personality that helps him endure a long string of part-time jobs, and eventually One International.
Loser Protagonist
Naïve Newcomer: To the corporate world.
Nice Guy
Oblivious to Love: A schoolteacher takes a fancy. He doesn't get it right away.
Punny Name: His name is yes in Korean. Gets a few false alarms because of this.
Spanner in the Works

The Alcoholic
Benevolent Boss
Heroic Sacrifice: In the end, he eventually draws enough ire from the higher-ups that they begin to pressure him into leaving. He decides to finally hand in the resignation letter he's been hanging onto, in the hopes of protecting Sales Team 3 and the rookies, particularly Geurae.
Honor Before Reason
Pet the Dog: Does this a lot, in his own way.
Supporting Leader

In Vino Veritas: He doesn't drink to get drunk often, but when he does he gets angry. A complete 180 from his usual self, but the other assistant managers are usually around to clean up after him.
The Reliable One

The Rookies

The Ace: Efficient, focused, driven, and a polyglot to boot. No one is surprised when Youngyi is hired from among the interns.
Beleaguered Assistant: Her team sees her as a woman who doesn't know her place and makes her office life hellish. She decides to do her best to meet their unreasonable demands anyway, in a war of attrition.
Hidden Depths
Pet the Dog: One of the first to go easy on Geurae, and has more moments even before they become real friends.

Break the Haughty
Character Development
Sudden Humility: Spends an evening with Geurae trying to sell off a load of cheap socks and underwear on the streets, as a punishment-mission from Chief Oh. He learns a bit about Geurae's past along the way, and though they eventually have to get tipsy to finish the job, Baekgi connects a lot of humbling dots.

Break the Haughty
Expository Hairstyle Change: At his lowest, his brash middle-part and long hair disappears for something more muted, in keeping with his personality change. Neither lasts too long.
The Gadfly: Makes office gossip his business, reads the subtlest changes in atmosphere, can get under almost anyone's skin.
Hidden Depths
The Social Expert: The persistent and sometimes heckling glue of the rookie group, and the most people-savvy - for the most part.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold

One International Staff
