The Queen of Office (Korean직장의 신; RRJikjang-ui Sin; lit. God of the Workplace) is a 2013 South Korean television series starring Kim Hye-soo, Oh Ji-ho, Jung Yu-mi, Lee Hee-joon, Jeon Hye-bin, and Jo Kwon. It aired on KBS2 from April 1 to May 21, 2013, on Mondays and Tuesdays at 22:00 for 16 episodes.[1] Kim later won the Daesang (or "Grand Prize"), the highest honor at the 2013 KBS Drama Awards.[2]

Based on the 2007 Japanese drama Pride of the Temp (ハケンの品格, Haken no Hinkaku), the comedy/drama series uses the modern Korean workplace culture as a backdrop and revolves around charismatic perfect employee Miss Kim, who's good at everything that even her bosses are a little afraid of her. But her life is shrouded in mystery and she always disappears after her three-month temp contract is up.[3][4][5]

The early working title was Come Back, Miss Kim (Korean돌아와요 미스김; RRDorawayo Miseugim).[6][7]
