Standby is a workplace comedy that takes place at a fictional broadcast station, where our series lead Ryu Jin finds himself stuck in a career slump amidst dreams of anchoring the nightly news. Other characters include variety PDs, writers, and announcers who make up the broadcast station family.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Ryu Jin ruins his image for for sitcom Standby 
With High Kick 3 nearing its end, MBC’s gearing up for a new daily sitcom to take over its timeslot, Standby, and has cast Ryu Jin in what sounds like a hilarious character.
The sitcom is set at a broadcast station, where Ryu plays an announcer whose goal is to anchor for the 9 o’clock news. He looks cool and collected on the outside, but his real personality is described as a bit of a pathetic loser. I love it. Ryu Jin’s played lots of competent businessman types with polished, sophisticated personas, but this role promises to “ruin” that image thoroughly. He looks the part of the ice man, but he can be pretty hilarious when he goes counter to that image, as he occasionally did in Baby-Faced Beauty.
The show departs a bit from the family-centric setup of so many sitcoms, and instead depicts the the workplace bond, describing “relationships and understanding between people with no blood relations, who become a real family.” It’ll have a strong “humanism” bent, which means there’ll be lots of touching moments of connection interspersed between the laughs. The PD, Jeon Jin-soo, has worked on a number of sitcoms, including High Kick 3, All My Love, and Three Men, Three Women.
Standby will air daily and premieres in April.
