Which team
are you joining?

One way into Kim Se-jeong’s dramas is to look at the people her character must work with. A boss becomes an unexpectedly awkward date. A supernatural squad needs someone who can detect danger. A new editorial department requires skills that an athlete has never had to practise.

The change of company matters. These four roles place Kim inside different groups, with different expectations of what she should achieve. Choose a romantic partnership, a fighting team, a workplace learning curve or a school full of competing ambitions. The guide keeps the character setups clear and leaves later victories, losses and relationships unspoiled.

A role for each kind of ensemble

Drama	Kim’s role	Choose the group dynamic
Business Proposal	Shin Ha-ri	A disguise colliding with working life
The Uncanny Counter	Do Ha-na	Supernatural teamwork and action
Today’s Webtoon	On Ma-eum	A rookie finding a second vocation
School 2017	Ra Eun-ho	Youth, drawing and institutional pressure

Business Proposal: keep the performance going

Shin Ha-ri replaces her friend on a blind date, intending to drive the man away. The complication is that her date is Kang Tae-moo, the CEO of the company where she works. Netflix Tudum’s official guide confirms Kim’s role and the mistaken-identity setup.

This is a strong first choice when you want a romantic comedy with a clear comic engine. Ha-ri has to manage the difference between what someone sees and what she can safely reveal. Friendship gets her into the situation, while her employment makes it harder to escape. Pick it for escalating social awkwardness and a central romantic pairing. The workplace gives the disguise consequences, but romance is the main reason to enter this story.

The Uncanny Counter: bring a specialist skill to the squad

As Do Ha-na, Kim becomes a member of the Counters, who hunt evil spirits. Netflix’s official series introduction identifies her particular strength: detecting those spirits. CJ ENM’s programme page also places Ha-na within the returning team.

Choose it when you want a character whose value comes from what she contributes to a group in danger. A team with different abilities offers a different rhythm from a romantic two-person setup: success depends on combinations, support and timing. It is the clearest action route here, with a supernatural threat rather than ordinary office problems. Start at the first season so the relationships and rules can establish themselves before the second-season continuation.

Today’s Webtoon: start again without starting from nothing

On Ma-eum leaves judo after an injury and begins work in a webtoon editorial department. The licensed programme synopsis explicitly pairs Kim with Ma-eum and describes her difficulty adapting. Broadcaster SBS’s casting announcement confirms that change of career.

This is your option when learning how to do a job is interesting in itself. Ma-eum carries determination from one demanding world into another, but effort does not automatically supply the knowledge she now needs. The appeal is a rookie’s encounter with colleagues, creators and unfamiliar expectations. If you like watching someone build professional confidence through small adjustments, this premise offers a more grounded direction after the Counters’ battles or Ha-ri’s elaborate impersonation.

School 2017: let a creative ambition meet school rules

Kim’s Ra Eun-ho hopes her ability to draw webtoons can provide a path toward university, even though her grades are poor. A mysterious troublemaker at school becomes entangled with that plan. KBS World’s character profile verifies the role and the drawing-related premise.

Choose this for a younger ensemble trying to find room inside an institution that measures students in narrow ways. Eun-ho’s goal gives you something concrete to follow, while the school mystery adds another source of uncertainty. It makes a useful partner to Today’s Webtoon: both involve drawing and aspiration, but the viewpoint changes from a student seeking an opportunity to an editor learning the labour behind publication. That connection is thematic; the dramas tell separate stories.
