Shows about work satisfaction

Since COVID-19 pandemic strikes, a lot of us start to work from home. I find my motivation to work fluctuates a LOT.

Can you recommend shows with work satisfaction / work motivation as its central theme or side theme?

(sorry my list is skewed towards Japanese drama that I've watched, feel free to add Korean shows as well)
