The Ordinary Jackpot, the live-action series based on the web novel and webtoon of the same name, will premiere on the Korean streaming platform TVING on September 10, with its first two episodes released exclusively on the service.
The series follows Eun-tae Gong (Jun-hyuk Lee), a department manager who has become burned out from his difficult life at work. After winning the lottery, his ordinary life and workplace begin to change.
The Ordinary Jackpot will release two episodes every Thursday at 6:00 p.m. KST on TVING. The series will also premiere on tvN on September 14 at 9:00 p.m. KST, airing Mondays and Tuesdays.
The story of the webtoon, drawn by Ugukjo and written by S.Inha, reads:
After years of hard work, Euntae Gong becomes the youngest team leader at Hongseong International, a major luxury brand licensing company. Instead of the success he envisioned, he's bombarded by office politics and constant pressure. When he unexpectedly wins 1.8 billion won in the lottery, he believes he's finally found an escape, but family troubles and a brand new outlook on life lead him back to the office where he and his unlikely team of underdogs battle the odds to succeed.
Fans can read the English version of the webtoon on WEBTOON, and watch the series on Rakuten Viki.
