BangTae-sik is a perennially unemployed South Korean
man who, based on his physical appearance, could
pass for a foreigner. He is as a result often confused
for an outsider and, having nothing much to do, he takes
advantage of his own situation.Tae-sik adopts a fake
foreign accent and pretends to come from Bhutan. Very
clumsy, the newly named Bang-ga gains confidence little
by little and becomes more and more influential among
his friends and co-workers. He also starts romancing the
lovely Jang-mi who works in the same factory as him.
With He’s on Duty,Yook Sanh-Hyo presents a light-
hearted and vigorous comedy that nonetheless delivers
uncommonly powerful commentaries on immigration,
discrimination and racism.
