We’ve got posters and character promo stills out for SBS’s Protect the Boss, and I have to say that this drama is slowly growing on me with what appears to be an offbeat, wacky vibe. It just may be quirky enough to work.
I wasn’t initially too enthralled by the chaebol hero and the boss-secretary setup (Ji Sung and Choi Kang-hee, respectively), but this looks like no typical K-drama setup, and no typical chaebol. Instead of being the coolly perfect businessman we’ve become so familiar with in dramas, this hero’s kooky and eccentric, while she literally kicks ass. The plot unfolds as she undertakes Project Tame The Errant Boss, and romance ensues.
The poster above takes on the bodyguard concept, which is made funnier by the implication that Choi Kang-hee is shielding her boss from work. Given that Ji Sung’s character is an inept boss, no doubt he considers that protection. Heh.
Acting as spoilers are Jaejoong as Ji Sung’s rival cousin and diametric opposite — he’s sharp, smart, and competent — and Wang Ji-hye as a lawyer and secondary love interest.
The drama premieres on August 3, following City Hunter.

DRAMABEANS! Will you please cover this drama?? I watched the first two episodes and it seems like fun! PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Still waiting for recaps!!!
Waiting for this drama recap!! Jaejoong ♥♥
Yes. What happened to the recaps for Protect the Boss? The 4th episode is over and still nothing?…Kind of disappointing T^T
I wonder why no one is recapping this drama? It’s a hilarious and doing very well!
i was suprised too that they are not recapping this drama..too bad, its doing so well and its very entertaining. im loving it!
I am surprised that dramabeans isn’t covering this drama because it’s probably one of the best dramas airing right now. The plot moves quickly, the characters are quirky and complex, and finally a heroine with a backbone and a chaebol family that acts normal. I mean I don’t care if they recap or not since everyone has a life to live outside the internet but I am genuinely surprised they didn’t write a first impressions post for the drama.
Personally it is probably one of the only good dramas airing right now, I love Eric but myung wol is a pretty bad drama and eric is probably the only reason why i pay attention to it which is sad because it’s premise was so promising and you fallen for me is cute at best but severely lacking in plot and writing.
Hey Db,.. is it me or you girls didnt recap this drama?
Huhu..It makes me sad that there aren’t any reviews of this drama ’til now. T.T
I know the plot of this drama is very common but I like the immaturity of the roles here, and what’s not so common is.. all the cast are really funny. You wouldn’t expect to even like the antagonists. It lightens up my day. I hope you’d reconsider making reviews for this drama. This drama is hilarious.
Please…I’d like to grab OST for this drama too…please…..^ ^
