Unlock the Boss (2022)

It tried to be something, like that bro who tries too hard to be an adult when he is 9.

Don't get me wrong, the story had potential, but that's about all.

I will admit I was suckered in by the first 2 eps which promised some simple entertainment without much thought. The problem was the next 10 episodes. See eps 1 and 2 already weren't very plausible, but the rest took that to a crazy degree with a disjointed presentation style that left me frustrated because it wasn't done well like masterpieces such as Memento and Flower of Evil, it was only used because just showing it in chronological order would make it even more boring than it already was.

The twist: every good mystery needs either a great twist or a well told story, this had niether. I must say I thoroughly decided in Ep 1 that they wouldn't *dare* use such an obvious plot, but I was mistaken. I was only shocked in the fact that:
1. They did.
2. The leads were so clueless.

I liked all of the actors, but most of the characters were boring.

I would only recommend picking this up if there is nothing on your TBR other than "The king: eternal monarch" or "Boys Over Flowers."

Good Enough

Korean Drama " Unlock My Boss " is a business thriller with a sci fi twist.

The drama has some interesting characters that support the whole drama and craft a nice puzzle of unexpected heroes that come together to solve a mystery.

The side characters were also pretty entertaining and their stories were emotional and gave a nice twist on the main story.

The latter was suspenseful, but predictable as well, with the main mystery relying mostly on the power struggle and the dynamics of the characters than to create a fresh view on the story.

The romance, moreover, was something that the story could live without.

The performances, finally, were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

The two young cast members. That's why I am watching her. Okay he is good to. But I thought she would be a lot more of a strong personality Secretary because she works for the he CEO. That's not the he case. It's great seeing new with twist that I will not be able to guess my way. This is one of them. Keep going! ???
Must be 500 in length? Huh?? I forgot I have to write an essay for a drama site. Oh well. The fact of the Business side he needs to learn to protect himself from each person. In the Business world that probably wouldn't have worked because the they would have found him out sooner. ?

Boring....

Was eagerly waiting for this because I wanted a light drama with a few laughs. Episodes 1 and 2 were ok but the plot eventually turned confusing. The story was just all over the place. A father on his way to join his daughter encounters a mishap which results in him living inside a smartphone....BUT how stupid is it that his excuse is being on a business trip and doesn't even contact his child that whole time??????

From there on, the story just went downhill. Too many characters and poorly thought of scenes. Was sorely disappointed because I frankly, the ML was suited for this type of genre.

Finally decided to drop it.

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

I'd have preferred more of a holo love vibe. He's just a siri, like the fridge in please don't date him
He even talks so roboticly you'd never know it was a human that died and went inside a phone
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if his silver town? Lining? Thought he was the real 2ml cuz they used his characteristics to program him

But the ml is annoying. He never had a solid job and he became a ceo but instead of working hard he's being a lazy
Like it'd have been funny if he suddenly showed on the phone and connects to the tv or a watch ??‍♀️

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.
