The only circular line in Seoul's subway system, Line 2 is an endlessly ride when you're drunk and dozing off. What's going on the city's most bustling subway line?

The production team behind the web novel Cats on the Roof has turned a webtoon into a play. Jung Eun-kyung and Yeo Won's webtoon of the same name was published on Naver Webtoon from 2015 to 2016. It was popular at the time, with a rating of 9.3, and many Line 2 subway riders must have watched it on the subway.

Subtitled "a subway survival comedy," Tenants of Subway Line 2 tells the story of trainee conductor Lee Ho-sun and the homeless people who hide out on Line 2. After being dumped by his girlfriend, Ho-sun gets drunk and ends up at the end of Line 2. There he meets the "Line 2 tenants": Sung-nae, a cynical city girl; Koo-ui, a mysterious grandfather; Bang-bae, the real power behind the group; and Yeok-sam, a middle-aged man from Gyeongsang-do who has been preparing for the civil service exam for years. The conflicts between Ho-sun who has to get rid of the Line 2 tenants in order to get promoted to a full-time position, and the tenants who have nowhere to go, make the audience laugh and cry because it seems to reflect their lives today.
