In the heart of Seoul, a cozy wine bar is on the brink of closure—and so are the dreams of its fiercely loyal assistant manager, Jiho. When the stoic new owner, Minhyuk, arrives with a cold efficiency and a singular mission to shut the place down, a clash of wills ignites. Jiho, who has poured his heart into the bar's warm community, wages a determined campaign to prove its worth, from late-night recipe experiments to heartfelt appeals. But as forced proximity turns heated arguments into charged silences, both men discover that the bar isn't the only thing worth saving. With 30 bite-sized episodes, 'We're Closing, My Assistant' serves up a delicious slow-burn romance packed with witty banter, tender vulnerability, and the intoxicating tension of a boss-employee relationship that threatens to uncork something far more personal than either expected.
