I recently watched " Protect the Boss" in Astro. I just found it interesting and end up watching the entire episodes in KimchiDrama.

Title: Protect the Boss
Genre: Romance, comedy
Episodes: 18




Synopsis:


Noh Eun Seol (Choi Kang Hee) was the tough leader of her high school girl gang. She has trouble finding permanent full time employment and is stuck with several part time jobs due to her past history.

The story kick start on one night, when her group at work goes out for drinks, while at a lounge her boss tries to hit on her and another secretary. Eun Seol, being a tough girl, decides that she will not put up with this harassment any longer. Eun Seol attacks her boss and then tries to escape, but his gang of minions runs after her. On her way out, she meets Cha Ji Heon (Ji Sung) in also in the hallway. The gang of minions mistakenly believe that Eun Seol and Ji Heon are together. Thus, when the lights go out Eun Seol uses that moment to beat up the minions and escape like a thief in the night. On the other hand, Ji Heon, in shock, remains in the lounge and is left at the mercy of minions.













Now that Eun Seol can no longer go back to her job, she goes to several interviews around town. One of the interviews takes place at Ji Heon’s family’s company. Cha Moo Won is Ji Heon’s cousin, were interviewing people to be Ji Heon’s secretary. Since, Ji Heon is unfocused, demanding, and childish, Moo Won has to ensure that the candidate will be able to take being rebuffed. When Eun Seol is verbally assaulted for her under pr education, Eun Seol rebukes the interviewer, exhibiting that she is qualified for the position. Moo Won, seeing her qualifications and against the advice of his staff, hires Eun Seol.
When Eun Seol sees Ji Heon, she immediately remembers him from the lounge. However, Ji Heon upon seeing Eun Seol only states that he hates her poopy head hairstyle (half up half down, with funky bun directly on top of head). Ji Heon says that it reminds him of the girl that got him into trouble at the nightclub. The incident has Ji Heon’s corporation in trouble. His father, the president of the corporation, heard about the incident and organized a group of thugs to go after Eun Seol’s former co-workers. When the scandal was leaked by Ji Heon’s former secretary, who was fired because Ji Heon was left unprotected, the media went into a frenzy and the accused the corporation of mafia connections.

In addition to being a public relations nightmare, the incident also made Ji Heon’s father push Ji Heon to straighten up and take a larger role in the corporation. Ji Heon father wants to prove to the the board that Ji Heon would be fit successor. If Ji Heon did not clean up his act, the role would go up to his cousin Moo Won irritating his father. Moo Won and his mother, the president’s sister in law, have been scheming for a while to get the perfect goal-orientated Moo Won to be named as the successor of the corporation.
Ji Heon has some major challenges, before he will seen as the future of the corporation; he doesn’t come to work on time, has a fear of making public speeches, has no passion for the work, may also have OCD, and falls asleep in meetings. While Ji Heon believes that Moo Won hired Eun Seol to make him look like a chump at first, soon he is delighted with Eun Seol’s resistance, street smarts, and fighting talent. As Ji Heon begins to admire her, he gives her more responsibility, including finding the lady with poopy hair that got him into the fight at the lounge.

When Eun Seol becomes overwhelmed with the task of finding herself and dealing with Ji Heon’s OCD , Moo Won comforts and protects her. Ji Heon discovers the special relationship and becomes jealous of Moo Won. Ji Heon wants Eun Seol all for himself and become more mature to attain her. Meanwhile, another woman wants Ji Heon, Seo Na Yoon. Na Yoon left Ji Heon, when he really needed her by his side, now he is unable to forgive her . On top of the abandonment, Na Yoon also hooked up with Moo Won. Moo Won is in love with Na Yoon, but ultimately she rejects him, because she wants to be the heir of the corporation, not the cousin.

As Eun Seol helps Ji Heon overcome his fears and take control of his life, Eun Seol and Ji Heon begin to have feelings for each other. However, Eun Seol also has feelings for the man that gave her a chance in the first place, Moo Won. After Na Yoon’s consistent rejection of Moo Won, Moo Won moves on and attempts to win Eun Seol’s heart instead. When Na Yoon discovers that the men that she once had on a leash are no longer running after her,  she goes through her own period of self discovery.

Questions to be answered:

Who will be the next leader of the corporation? Why does Ji Heon have so many hiccups? Will Ji Heon and Moo Won’s family accept Eun Seol as part of the family? Will Moo Won break free from his mother? Will Na Yoon stop acting so self-involved? How many times can I see Eun Seol dominating her opponents? Do you like white collar crime?

My opinion:

For a person like me who does not knows Korean much and still watching the drama with English subs including the script made me actually roll on the floor while watching it. So far, it is the throughout most hilarious Korean drama I have seen so far.

It features romantic comedies and funny fights between the characters. Every character was well executed with each other. In the entire drama, the director focused on body/physical gags which made the show more hilarious.  However, this drama was predictable,  but the acting by the actors made interesting enough to watch it. After the first episode the story gets better and better. This drama has every substance which makes a comedy drama successful.

I will recommend this drama to everyone to watch it because this drama will not disappoint you. It's worth watching!
