A new variety show format has been announced. SBS's upcoming 'Anything You Want - Secretary Crew,' scheduled to air on Fridays at 11:10 PM, promises a unique brand of entertainment through the distinct interpersonal dynamics and role-playing setups of its cast. Moving beyond the traditional observational variety format, the program focuses on the dynamic relationships that emerge as the cast members navigate a clear role-play scenario of 'secretaries' and 'employers.'

The subtle tension between Cha Tae-hyun and the 'Secretary Crew' fighting for their pay

The released trailer offers an intriguing look at the power dynamics among the cast. As Cha Tae-hyun takes on the role of the one 'paying the wages,' the passionate efforts of the Secretary Crew to secure that pay are highlighted. As the title suggests, Cha Tae-hyun acts as the 'my star' who provides the initial wages to the secretaries. The relationship between reward and labor that unfolds in this process serves as the core driving force of the program.

Beyond mere service provision, the desperate attempts by the secretaries to secure their given rewards are expected to be a major comedic highlight. While Cha Tae-hyun portrays the role of the one footing the bill, the secretaries move proactively to ensure they don't miss out on their compensation. This setup is poised to create comedic friction by either flipping or reinforcing the hierarchical relationships between the cast members. The secretaries' intense efforts to earn their pay, clashing with Cha Tae-hyun's sly demeanor, create a peculiar sense of tension.

A new Friday night landscape featuring Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu

The cast is further bolstered by the addition of Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu alongside Cha Tae-hyun. A key point of interest will be how these individuals, each with distinct personalities, clash and harmonize within the unique 'secretary and employer' relationship. In particular, there is high anticipation for the synergy between Lee Seo-jin's signature attitude and Cha Tae-hyun's playful wit. The addition of Kim Kwang-kyu completes a lineup that promises a rich character composition.

Rather than simply fulfilling requests, the show is expected to capture the psychological warfare and physical antics of the cast surrounding their rewards. Scheduled for the late-night Friday slot at 11:10 PM, 'Anything You Want - Secretary Crew' is likely to develop in a way that allows viewers to enjoy it lightheartedly while remaining immersed in the interpersonal dynamics. All eyes are on whether the intensity of the secretaries' service and the psychological tug-of-war over wages will establish themselves as a new source of Friday night entertainment.
