In the first episode of Work Later, Drink Now, the story introduces three best friends in their 30s—Ahn So-hee (Lee Sun-bin), Han Ji-yeon (Han Sun-hwa), and Kang Ji-gu (Jung Eun-ji)—whose daily ritual involves unwinding with heavy drinking after their stressful jobs. Episode 1: "Soju on a Christmas That's Like Chicken Feet"
The pilot focuses on a man named Hak-soo who goes on three consecutive blind dates with each of the women:
First Date (Kang Ji-gu): Hak-soo meets Ji-gu, a no-nonsense origami YouTuber with a tough exterior. Her intense personality and heavy drinking immediately overwhelm him.
Second Date (Han Ji-yeon): Next, he meets Ji-yeon, a bubbly yoga instructor whose extreme optimism and "crazy" personality baffle him. She is a master at making somaek (a soju and beer mix).
Third Date (Ahn So-hee): Finally, he meets So-hee, a variety show writer. Her date is a comedic highlight as her drinking habits and straightforward attitude prove to be more than Hak-soo can handle.
By the end of the episode, Hak-soo is completely exhausted by their "dynamic" nature, while the three friends reunite at their favorite local bar to drink away their own daily hardships. Where to Watch in Hindi

Warning: Mild spoilers ahead.
Work Later, Drink Now Ep 1 Hindi dubbed opens not with a hangover, but with the sheer desperation of a workday. So-hee is at the mercy of a manic TV director who changes the script format five minutes before a live shoot. Meanwhile, Ji-yeon is dealing with trolls on her broadcast, and Ji-goo is trying to coach an unemployable man-child.
The magic happens when the clock strikes midnight. The three friends meet at their usual haunt (a run-down Chinese restaurant that serves lethal cocktails). Within ten minutes of screen time, the dialogue shifts from “How was your day?” to “I want to set my boss on fire.”
The first episode kicks off with So-hee getting humiliated at work for a minor mistake. Instead of crying, she sends a voice note: "Aaj raat double peg..." (Tonight, double drink...). The trio meets at their usual fried chicken joint.
The Hindi dubbing adds local flavor:
The episode hilariously follows their attempt to have "just one drink," which turns into five bottles of soju, a karaoke meltdown, and Ji-gu accidentally confessing her love to a delivery boy because the subtitles in her head got mixed up.
The Twist: The episode ends with the group discovering that Ji-yeon has secretly been diagnosed with a serious illness but is hiding it behind her sunny smile. The mood shifts from "Peete raho" (Keep drinking) to "Hum saath hain" (We are together).
