Smoking OST and great concept drama journey

Chae Jong-Hyeop (Nevertheless), Park Sung Woong (Snowdrop), and Seo Eun-Su (Dr Romantic)

This is an unusual Korean Drama starring Chae Jong-Hyeop (Potato Man from Nevertheless) as Park In Seong, who is putting out multiple Korean dramas a year now. I suspect that he is trying to catch up with Song Kang.

With radical music as a backdrop and the best OST of the year (2022), this high tech Light Comedy Thriller is a body switch drama. However, this time the body of an AI Corporate CEO is switched into a smartphone. This is an interesting concept, but the premise is not any harder to accept than the premise that men in red capes can fly. The drama character Park In Seong (Chae Jong-Hyeop) is a failed actor who ends up with the smartphone. The CEO in the phone (Park Sung Woong) solicits the help of the failed actor to get the personality of the CEO out of the phone and back into reality, as Park In Seong substitutes for the CEO in the Company for a time . Unlock My Boss is a lighthearted Comedy Korean Drama Chill Pill and a great down-time drama. This drama keeps getting better and better over viewing time. I loved it and loved Chae Jong-Hyeop in this Korean Drama, Unlock My Boss.

Unlock My Boss PG 14 is based on a Webtoon by the same name. While this drama is not a slow burn, the super action does start in episode four. The drama has twists and turns as well, which keeps you guessing.


Quote: “People say, “”Time heals all wounds”. But this is half right and half wrong. Time does not heal anything for you. It is just during that time, you learn how to endure and deal with the pain until you get use to it.” Female Lead Unlock My Boss

not for me

I read so many good reviews about this drama, and I just couldn't get myself into it. the AI thing was ok, I can manage this much and dive into robots and program genius masterpiece, that's very ok. but I froze when the ML gave his phone to the female villain. I just froze. and I couldn't go any further.
he knew how dangerous that was for him to give his phone and yet he did. nothing much happened from that error but I froze. I didn't like the way they lied to the little daughter, I didn't like how messy the investigation was, everything happening randomly in a state of constant chaos. the fact that everyone try to manipulate everyone all the time...
I think that the story is very ok, but the way they unfolded it was wrong. and lead me to drop.
I wouldn't recommend.

Dislike Male lead from ep 6

Until ep 6 i thought real CEO was mean and selfish person but after watching ep 6

i found out being Nosy is more mean then someone who pretend to be indifferent
ML force FL to become friend with her creditor who try to force her into prostitution in ep 1
ML doesn't even know what happen between them but he think she should forgive him
he want to be friends with a PIMP because he know nothing about real world
from ep 6 he start looking like a man without balls
FL deserve better then this child actor trying to play adult character
Real boss was self centered mean but he never disrespected his secretary like ML did

otherwise i like this drama and what ever main cast was doing it was comedy other then adding a goon to there team and thinking that he will be loyal to them, ML was naive to be called adult, its like he has a childish brain that trust anyone so easily
i think ML was better suited with Creditor goon they make a Great BL couple
childish boy and big daddy
he get arrested not because of his enemies did that, it was because he was stupid little kid,
From episode 6 this show goes down and down ML become more of child then man, it was like negative character growth
i was unable to find any reason for FL to like ML, this drama was BL romance but they casted FL
it could be first Bi ML
at end of ep 7 child brain become extremely genius and bad people become idiots themselves without it ML would be a failure
even in ep 9 ML was having late night dinner date with goon
Director wanted to add goon to main cast so much so that he forget there is a FL there
director was even so focus on Goons background story that ML And FL were supporting cast
Kim Sung Oh was ONLY MAIN LEAD of Drama while other three were supporting cast Park Sung Woong should be mention as guest cast or vocal artist because only his voice was used
ML FL do not have background stories to add to them but side cast GOON has more flashback then anyone else
Director might have got a good BJ from KIM SUNG OH
even with FL goon has more chemistry with her then ML childish acts
episode 9 time 19.58 that gay look he give was make me believe this man was told to be gay in this show
AND for convince No one try to harm little girl, or ML parents
they only targeted FL mother who is in coma... but will not try to harm ML's parents because BAD people are also GOOD
even at end Goon was the one that save FL's mother so she should give him her VJ as reward not to Minor ML
Goon is one saving FL but she want to kiss a minor child , First female pedophile in Korean dramas
In whole ep 10 ML was only thinking about all the positions he can screw FL
in same ep ML got into problem and every one around the world was ready to give him BJ because he is most loved minor Adult ever
everything in this show is done by GOON Kim Sung Oh so what was need of ML and FL ?
Kim Sung Oh the great die for saving someone he never know what a great man
what was it..... an Autobiography on GOON life how pimp and good are better then main leads

Its a disaster

The plot was new but the director failed to show it in a exciting manner or failed to bring life in the play. Many of the acting and scene felt too much of forced and felt kind of out of situation or maybe I was expecting much from this drama as i was mentally comparing it with 'reborn rich ' and as i didn't find it much of anything new other than regular drama in this maybe I am only disappointed that interesting plot gets ruined hope to see a good change in the drama and hope that drama will not follow the old general trend and bring changes to the drama

I can give the first episode 6.5-7 out of 10. It could be better.

The first episode was good. I can give the first episode 6.5-7 out of 10. It could be better. The subject of the series is very original and beautiful, I liked it very much. It seems as if a little more care should be taken, but I think it is the director of this series or the video editor that gives this atmosphere. It's good to jump from squad to squad, but I think it should be more perfect. I watched other TV series of our young actor, he is a good actor, but he should work on himself, as if he could not accept that he was in the lead role from the first episode, it seemed that way because of his acting. I think in the coming episodes, as the mystery goes away, comedy will increase and emotional themes will take its place. So, it will be better. My favorite actress in the TV series "Life on mars" and "man to man" is already here, it will be beautiful. By the way, other viewers also noticed that the man's age was 39, but in the first episode it says 43, but in reality, he was 49 years old, I didn't know a bit.

Ready, action!

Eu comecei Unlock my boss quando ainda tava lançando mas acabei me enrolando com os dramas que tava assistindo e parei e iria abandonar porque os dois primeiros episódios não me empolgaram tanto mas aí quando vi que ia entrar na Netflix vi uma oportunidade pra não abandonar e voltei a assistir e não é que eu até chorei?
Eu simplesmente amo o Chae jong hyeop, ele atua muito bem, acho que ele trás muita da essência dele como pessoa para o papel dele, pelo menos vi muita energia e fofura como em love all play, gosto demais do trabalho dele.
Unlock my boss me surpreendeu muito, até o final assim o plot foi incrível, um drama todo só sobre tecnologia, falou sobre rede social também que é a era que estamos vivendo, sobre inteligência artificial e uma preocupação que muita gente vive, será que no futuro eles podem mandar na gente? O que pode acontecer? Eles criarem emoções? Será possível e acaba que mesmo que seja uma coisa boa é também uma coisa ruim. Mas acho que o drama deixou um pouco a par principalmente que ele não se excluiu do telefone no final.
Eu não gostei que o pai dela não acordou, na verdade deu a entender que ele poderia acordar ali no final, mas eu sofri tanto, ela sofreu tanto, o mafi morreu ? não irei superar a morte dele tão cedo. É isso. E tipo pra esse final??? Quem ficou como CEO da empresa? E o carro autônomo? A Jung continuo trabalhando como secretaria da empresa? Tantas perguntas, nenhuma reposta!
Mas eu gostei muito do drama mas do que pensei, achei que é um drama que não falam muito mas a atuação ótima, me envolvi muito e a OST é muito boa também, a de ação, a de tristeza que me dava vontade de chorar. O drama é ótimo! (mas o maior erro foi matar o mafi ou então matava ele mais pra frente) o romance eu já imaginava que iria acontecer porque Dorama enfia romance em todos os lugares mas eu gostava deles dois juntos e realmente não era o foco então pra mim foi ok
(ia dar 8 mas perdeu meia estrela só pelo final sem resposta)
