Making for an intriguing addition to Disney+, the latest workplace K-drama’s journey has just begun, but it’s time to take a peak into the Race Episode 3 preview. Directed by Lee Dong-yoon and written by Kim Roo-ri, the first two episodes of Race (레이스) premiered altogether on the streaming giant on May 10, 2023.
Starring Lee Yeon-hee, Moon So-ri, Hong Jong-hyun, and Jung Yun-ho (TVXQ’s Yunho) in the titular roles, the new South Korean series is a heartfelt dramedy that shapes into a realistic account about work-life balance, while dealing with the never-ending politics that takes centre stage in such a cut-throat environment. Yeon-hee was last seen in Welcome to Wedding Hell (2022) as Kim Na-eun, Jong-hyun was in Stock Struck as Choi Sun-woo. Conversely, Moon So-ri was last featured in Queenmaker (2023), while Yunho is the member of the K-pop boys group TVXQ and has also acted in series like Meloholic.
Race Episode 3 Preview
Race Plot
Park Yoon-jo’s resume may be lacking in terms of her formal education. Unfortunately, her earnest drive, work ethic and professionalism can’t be put down on the document. She’s soon granted a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work in a conglomerate’s PR department temporarily, but she’s keen on proving her worth to the higher-ups so that she can’t stick around for the longer-run.

Race Episode 3 Prediction
Now that Yoon-jo has two offers – one from Earth Comm’s Dong-hoon and the other from Seyong – she’s likely to be conflicted before making up her mind. However, there are high chances of her bending one way more than the other, and picking the latter. Ji-hyeon will also convince Yi-jung to come back and join her firm, which will also eventually allow Yoon-jo to be put under mentorship.
Race Episode 2 Recap
At first, Yoon-jo blames Jae-min for feigning ignorance about the whole rigged presentation scene, but she eventually comes around and acknowledges that he’s equally helpless in the situation. Seyong’s Chief Strategy Officer, Lim Ji-hyeon plans on recruiting the veteran PR consultant Goo Yi-jung to her side, while tasking the PR team to clean up the mess created by the previous news leak. Jae-min comes up with the idea of a non-discriminatory hiring process, which is carried forward. Yoon-jo applies for the same as well while creating a success story with her new campaign for the local bakery. Dong-hoon is faced with a conflict of interest and its resolution lies in bringing on Yoon-jo over to his team at Earth Comm.
