The Office Blind Date is a rom-com about an office employee, Shin Ha-ri, who goes for a blind date in the place of her friend. 

Later, she finds out that her date is the CEO of the company she’s working for. Things spiral downwards as she’s unsure of what she should do.

The author first published The Office Blind Date in the form of a web novel in 2017, and it was turned into a webtoon on KakaoPage a year later. It was so popular that KakaoPage announced that the series would be getting a live adaptation.
