Since everyone tends to talk about the change in writing direction after critics and audience viewers panned the opening shows, let me quickly address it. I personally don't mind the pre-change show. Chae Ro Woon comes off harsh and overly terrible towards everyone's favourite boss, Eun Hwan Ki. However her motives show why. Quite frankly, from her point of view, it's just. And she learns from her mean spirited actions and develops regret and sympathy from them which manifest into a relationship. Perhaps this was due to the re-write, but that was always going to be the conclusion. People just need a bit more patience.

What truly bothered me was how inconsistent Eun Hwan Ki’s anxiety was. When we are first introduced to the character, it's crippling to the point where he can't look anyone in the eye (and no, it's not just his secretary overreacting although she is in hilarious fashion). However it goes on to be simply fear of public speaking and lack of confidence. Far too passive for what we were introduced to. But you can mark the argument that the introduction is the mistake.

So My Introverted Boss is a standard k-drama. Despite some themes involving suicide and self harming, etc, this is fairly comedic and fun to watch. Maybe the aforementioned writing and editing is noticeable. It's fairly inoffensive though. As is this show. Eun Hwan Ki growing into a confident boss is a great story and the best aspect of watching this drama.
