Content Warning
Spoiler Alert
K-Drama Gaus Electronics is currently going viral on social media.
Gaus Electronics is an ongoing Korean TV show based on the Naver Webtoon of the same name by Kwak Baek Soo.
It stars Kwak Dong Yeon (Vincenzo) and Ko Sung Hee (My Holo Love) as coworkers, Lee Sang Sik and Cha Na Rae who work at Marketing Team 3 at the home appliance headquarters of Gaus Electronics—a multinational company. It features an ensemble cast, and rather than follow the typical K-Drama format, it is more reminiscent of sitcoms such as The Office, except it’s not a mockumentary.
A story that follows the work and love lives of the young employees in the Marketing 3 Division at Gaus Electronics. Lee Sang-Sik (Kwak Dong-Yeon) has a bright personality, but he is oblivious to the moods of others. He often causes trouble unintentionally in the office. Cha Na-Rae (Ko Sung-Hee) is an assistant manager with a fiery temper. Baek Ma-Tan (Bae Hyun-Sung) is a son from a family who runs a big company. He doesn’t talk much. Gun Gang-Mi (Kang Min-Ah) is considered the most beautiful female employee at the company, but, when she gets drunk, she becomes a totally different person.
