From the same production company that gave us Semantic Error, comes The New Employee. This time the setting is in the office of an ad firm and you guessed it – a romance between an intern and his boss.

Background

The New Employee is based on the 2016 web novel-turned-webtoon “The New Employee” or “The New Recruit” (신입사원 in Korean) written by Moscareto and illustrated by Zec.

The New Employee webtoon gets high grades from readers. It’s realistic and engaging because of its realistic depiction of the characters. In 2020, the webtoon wins the Best Webtoon award at the Ridi BL Comic Awards. [You can read more at this site.]

Where to watch The New Employee?

Viki is streaming the series. However, access depends on the region you are located in, but you may use a VPN service. It’s highly recommended to use a VPN especially when watching BL series. There are streaming sites like NetFlix, Viki, GagaOOLala, iQIYI, Hulu, Viu, and many others that may limit broadcast reach due to copyright and other legal stuff. A VPN is safe, reliable, and legal.
