True to her routine, Yui ends her day at her favorite Chinese restaurant, Shanghai Diner , to catch the half-price beer special that ends at 18:10. 🏢 Key Themes of the Series

Yui avoids overtime by being highly productive during her actual working hours.

The drama highlights the difference between Yui’s boundary-setting and her father’s generation, who prioritized work above all else. Watashi, Teiji de Kaerimasu (TV Series 2019– ) - IMDb

In this episode, Yui faces conflict with her colleague , whose rigid work ethic stems from a traumatic past at a previous job where she was bullied for taking time off.

Yui eventually helps Mitani realize that hyper-fixation on work is not the only way to show dedication and that taking breaks is essential for health.

Mitani views Yui's punctuality as a lack of responsibility and tries to force her "perfect attendance" mindset on new employees.

The show criticizes the Japanese culture of "presenteeism"—staying late just to look busy.
