This is the first time using 2 players with 1 control Office Yeo In Cheon Ha. I am very satisfied with my 2 players to destroy the middle player (P2). In this rejected run,
GTFoxN6Y0899, was 14m 59s 83ms in maximum score goal, it was invalid publication, so this is
not acceptable. However, for my 2 player run, my clear time was 14m 04s 11ms, it was beaten by 55s 72ms, which means it's my world record!
Because 3 player TAS is very impossible to finish, I recommend using 2 players (P1 & P3) to smash the CPU P2 waiting to finish the game. Some minigames, like Stage 6 (following the same rhythm), Stage 11 (memorizing the telephone words), Stage 12 (Love & Hate male characters), Stage 13 (catching flowers), and Stage 17 (throwing rubbish items in same colors), if all 3 players, including P1 & P3 (also CPU P2), finishing the same amount of score (or 2 players having the same score/single player 1st place highest score & 2 players get 2nd place with low score), it will enter the tie break. In tie break, mash the button 5 times fast to see who's 1st/2nd place.

Stages overview
Stage 1
Pushing others inside the train very fast with 2 players, making the middle CPU to retire because of fastest time.
Stage 2
Peeling every color of the mask 20 times to end fast instead of CPU waiting.
Stage 3
Chop every of the box stamps (either 1 box, 2 boxes or 3 boxes) 20 times without getting one miss.
Stage 4
Finding every of the Korean text to score 1 point, however I could only get 10 points for P1 & 11 points for P3, so I will stop both players and not increase more score until time reaches "0." P2 CPU gets 8 points, it's consider retired.
Stage 5
Filling each of the missing Korean text to score 1 point. Cannot both get 4 points for 2 players or else you'll get a tie break. Usually P1 get 3 points for 2nd and P3 5 points for 1st.
Stage 6
Following the button rhythm by remembering the pattern color correctly gets 1 point. Unfortunately, I cannot get lowest score due to CPU and my both players gets same score.
Stage 7

Stage 8
Alternately press any of the color buttons fast for turning the light bulb to get 1 point except the tallest light bulb, because this takes longer to clear the minigame.
Stage 9
Press the designated button to score 1 point. Afterward, I hold both players until CPU gets lowest score.
Stage 10
Press green button to stop exactly 17:00:00.00 to get 1 point. However, pressing green button before 17:00:00.00 (such as 16:59:59.00, 16:59:59.20, 16:59:59.40, etc.) will not get point and scolded by a man. Pressing green button after 17:00:00.00 (such as 17:00:00.25, 17:00:00.30) and either player got 1st place will also not get point.
Stage 11
Same as stage 6, however I cannot get P3 5 points because it will lose a life. All the players (including CPU) gets perfect score.
Stage 12
Studying the example of the most loved male character, then press red button for like person or blue button for disliked/bullying person. P2 CPU gets 9 points because of miss, both players gets a perfect score. I have no choice to get 8 points 3rd for P3 but gets 2nd.

Stage 14
Alternately press red and blue buttons to fill in the woman's sock to end the minigame faster.
Stage 15
Spray the designated cockroaches to score 1 point. If either player sprays flower, you will lose a point.
Stage 16
Given the example of the man having a straight hand, press designated button to match the same picture. However, I could hold P1 to get 2nd so that I could go 1st for P3 because I wanted P2 CPU to get 0 points.
Stage 17
There are 3 trash cans: red, green, and blue. Press the designated button (press red for red trash can; green for green trash can; blue for blue trash can) to score 1 point, but if either of the player press the button that is not the same color, it will not get point. At the end, it seems that two players score get 40 points, there are no items to throw and I have no choice to score 41 points because tie break comes after minigame end.
Stage 18
Catch the following paper to get the highest points possible.
Stage 19
Press the designated button of the crochet color (except there are 2 color buttons; red and green, red and blue, blue and green) to finish as fast as possible without waiting CPU.

Stage 22
Alternately press any of the buttons fast as possible (I wanted to leave P3 for 2nd) within 10 seconds to see who's the strongest woman.
Stage 23
Avoid getting hit with the bird poop. However, it's impossible for 2 players to get no miss hit (-0 points), but I led P3 with 1 miss hit get 1st, P1 with 2 miss hit get 2nd, and P2 CPU get last with more than 5 misses.
Stage 24
Press the given color of the book to score 1 point. After that, the score reached 20 points for 2 players and the minigame end.

Stage 27
Press the designated button to cut the food (fish, eggplant, meat, etc.) to score 1 point. Pressing the button that is not the same color will cause a miss and the knife thrown away. It's very useful to end by getting 8 points.
Stage 28
Study the lady with the phone ringing given to following color, then press the button given to a designated person to score 2 points. Pressing wrong button will not get points but the woman gets scolded.
Stage 29
Pressing the green button fast, but avoid getting hit by moving left or right with red or blue button.
Stage 30
Catch the envelope to score 1 point. Even though both players score 18 points, it's consider 1st and 2nd place.
Stage 31
Press any of the buttons fast to end the minigame by celebrating the wedding ceremony (or just do nothing after it starts to end the run instead). At the end, it determines which player 1st place, so P1 gets 1st place (if both players does not alter buttons instead, P2 CPU gets 1st).
Conclusion and final results
At the end of the video, my final time is 14m 04s 11ms (publication run is 13m 57s ×××ms for removed alter buttons), which I beaten GTFoxN6Y0899 time by 55s 72ms (1m 01s ×××ms or 1m 02s ×××ms for publication), so this is the world record! There are no other TAS runs for this game but I did it for my first time.

CoolHandMike: This is a pretty oddball arcade game full of minigames related to office ladies. Some of these minigames pretty much require Korean to be known by the player which made testing some of these a rather trail and error affair. However the author was able to optimize these fine. On the final minigame the author let's the input end on the final input for "Finish" so the player controlled characters run until the end.
2 players as a Standard goal goes to Alternative since Standard accepts a minimum, or maximum, or the fastest amount of players. Here the max would be controlling all three players since the cpu opponent is just fast enough to compete with a casual player, while a tas controlled player would finish extremely quickly.
One thing of note is that on loading there is a message that this game does not work. However on inspection this game sounds and plays fine. There are these also MAME debug messages in the dump status window not related to the dump, and these can be ignored.
Accepting to Alternative for goal of "2 players".
Great job!
