Mr. Shota's Last Business Trip

Shota, a machinist who dedicated his life to his work, prepares for his final business trip to Korea before retiring. Meanwhile, Daesung heads to Japan to win back his ex-girlfriend. The two men happen to meet at a ramen shop on the first day of their journeys. When Shota's resignation letter and Daesung's love letter are swapped, an unexpected story begins.

Directed by Lee Ju-hyoung, Mr. Shota's Last Business Trip leans on a strong ensemble — Ryohei Otani, Jung Jinyoung, Kazuko Shirakawa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2026.
