As cited by Sports Chosun, the broadcast network shared that they have "prepared season 2 quickly at the same time as the drama ended."
In addition, TVING also hints at the possible plot of the much-awaited season 2, revealing that the sequel "will be a relatable and heartwarming drama about longtime friends and drinking buddies with quirky chemistry."
"Work Later, Drink Now" is based on the webtoon of the same name that highlights the story of three best friends whose life revolves around drinking and having fun after work.
APINK's Eunji took on the role of origami YouTuber Kang Ji Goo; Lee Sun Bin portrayed variety show writer Ahn So Hee, while Han Sun Hwa played a yoga instructor named Han Ji Yeon.
Joining them is Choi Siwon as the variety show PD Kang Book Goo.
Interestingly, the APINK member spoke about her similarities with her "Work Later, Drink Now" character.
During her appearance in SBS's "My Little Old Boy," Jung Eun Ji mentioned that friendship is significant to her, like Kang Ji Goo.
However, when it comes to drinking, she shared that Ji Goo has much higher alcohol tolerance than her, adding, "she's the kind that once she opens a bottle, she'll drink until she can't count the number of bottles on her fingers."
Although the comedy-drama has confirmed its season 2, the official release date has yet to be announced.
