Work machine

A work machine comprising:

• an articulated-type front work implement including a plurality of driven members coupled to each other;
• a plurality of hydraulic actuators each of which drives a corresponding one of the plurality of driven members on a basis of an operation signal;
• an operation device that outputs the operation signal to one of the hydraulic actuators, the one hydraulic actuator being intended by an operator;
• and
• a controller that outputs the operation signal to at least one of the hydraulic actuators or executes area limiting control of correcting the output operation signal such that the front work implement moves on a target surface preset for a work target of the front work implement or within an area above the target surface, wherein
• the controller corrects the operation signal on a basis of information related to operation of the hydraulic actuator subjected to the area limiting control, the operation being one immediately before the area limiting control is performed.
