Back to Work Webtoon: 140+ Chapters, Complete Guide

TL;DR: Back to Work webtoon is the completed, 140-plus-chapter Kakao Webtoon original behind tvN's See You at Work Tomorrow, which aired June 22 to July 28, 2026. The webtoon finished its run in 2024, years before the drama existed, so the ending wasn't written to match the show either way.

If you watched See You at Work Tomorrow and want to know where it came from, or you're trying to figure out whether the manhwa ends the same way, this is the Back to Work webtoon in the terms that actually matter: what it is, what's finished, and what genuinely can't be confirmed from here.

Back to Work webtoon: what it actually is

Back to Work! follows Jiyoon Cha, a woman in her 30s who's stuck in a corporate job that doesn't satisfy her and a romantic life that isn't going anywhere either, with the added weight of the standard "why isn't your life figured out yet" pressure that runs through a lot of Korean workplace fiction. The story runs two parallel romance threads alongside her career frustration, splitting its attention between the office and her personal life rather than treating either as background noise for the other.

It's a McQueen Studio original, credited to the studio as both writer and artist, first serialized on Kakao Webtoon starting in 2020. The genre mix leans comedy and slice of life with real dramatic weight underneath, closer to a grounded workplace dramedy than a fantasy-tinged romance.

Is Back to Work webtoon completed

Yes, fully. The series ran from 2020 to 2024 and wrapped at 140-plus chapters across three seasons (roughly 43, 50, and 46 chapters per season). There's no ongoing wait for new material here. Whatever you start today, you can finish.

The English translation runs on Tapas and covers the complete series. Recent-ish chapters sit behind Tapas's standard wait-or-pay model, and the older majority of the run unlocks for free over time, so the practical cost depends on how much of a hurry you're in.

The drama: See You at Work Tomorrow

tvN's live-action adaptation, titled See You at Work Tomorrow (sometimes translated Let's Go to Work Tomorrow), aired its full run from June 22 to July 28, 2026. It's written by Kim Kyung-min and directed by Jo Eun-sol, following Ji-yoon, a seven-year office worker managing a chronic illness, and her evolving relationship with her boss.

That's a slightly different framing than the webtoon's own description of Jiyoon's situation, which centers more on general career dissatisfaction and romantic uncertainty than a specific health condition. Adaptations shift emphasis like this constantly, and it's worth knowing going in rather than assuming the two versions are telling an identical story beat for beat.

Back to Work isn't an isolated case. Korean broadcasters have been pulling more series directly from webtoon catalogs all year.

Does the ending match the drama

Here's the honest answer: this piece can't confirm that either way, and treat anyone who claims certainty without having checked both versions with real skepticism. What's actually verifiable is the order of events. The webtoon reached its own complete, published ending in 2024, a full two years before the drama adaptation existed at all. Nothing about how Back to Work! ends was written with the show in mind, since the show didn't exist yet.

Korean live-action adaptations routinely diverge from their webtoon source in the final stretch anyway, compressing subplots, changing who ends up with whom, or wrapping up faster than a multi-season webtoon has room to. Whether that happened here specifically is something only reading the completed webtoon and watching the finished drama can settle, not secondhand summaries.

If knowing the destination before you start is important to you, that's exactly what a completed source webtoon is good for: read Back to Work! first, and you'll know precisely where the story lands regardless of what the drama chose to do with it.
