The second teaser video for MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama, Numbers: Watchdogs in the Building Forest, has been released.

Numbers: Watchdogs in the Building Forest is an office drama that revolves around Jang Ho Woo, an accountant with a high school diploma who stands up against a renowned accounting firm to fight corruption. In a manner that is both typical and atypical of accountants, he strives to uphold justice through his unconventional manner by exploiting the power of numbers. The drama boasts a talented cast, including Kim Myung Soo (INFINITE's L), Choi Jin HyukChoi Min Soo, and Yeonwoo.

The teaser video begins with the tagline, "The story of accountants who live and die by numbers," followed by Han Je Kyun (Choi Min Soo) - the deputy representative of Taeil Accounting Firm - standing in the spotlight confronting a crowd.  He says, "Welcome to becoming a member of Taeil Accounting Firm, the best and the most powerful firm in the country". 

Furthermore, the teaser video ignites interest by introducing the challenges faced by Jang Ho Woo (Kim Myung Soo) in the firm. With feelings of pride and determination, Jang Ho Woo confidently proclaims, "I'm not a weird person, I'm an accountant!" while proudly displaying his employee ID card. Accompanying Ho Woo in Taeil Accounting Firm are a seasoned accountant and Han Je Kyun's (Choi Min Soo) son Han Seung Jo (Choi Jin Hyuk), and his dedicated supervisor Jin Yeon Ah (Yeonwoo). 

Particularly intriguing is the complex relationship between Jang Ho Woo and Han Seung Jo. Despite their seemingly vigilant attitudes towards each other, Ho Woo's inquiry about why Han Seung Jo keeps interfering with his plans and Seung Jo's response, "Because you'll get hurt if you stay there," hints at the budding bromance. In addition, Ho Woo's relationship with his supervisor Yeon Ah kindles curiosity about the intricate dynamics among these diverse and compelling characters.

The short teaser portrays the accountants in the drama employing their numerical expertise, some attempting to conceal corruption, while others to uphold justice.
