“What a Boss Wants” Oh Se-young, Jo Hee-bong, Lee Choong-joo and Kim Jae-in come together as one family to present a boisterous daily life.
The MBN new Wed-Thu drama What a Boss Wants, directed by Kang Sol and written by Nam Ji-yeon, which premieres at 10:20 p.m. on Nov. 11, portrays the taste-targeting disguised romance between chaebol boss Kwon Do-hyuk (played by Seong Hoon), who has zero taste and sets out to find “Her” from an album, and indie band vocalist Lee Eun-chae (played by Oh Se-young), who appears as the only variable in his perfect life.
Meanwhile, What a Boss Wants released stills today (the 27th) showing the distinctive personalities of Eun-chae’s family. From a strict father to an impeccable older sister, a warm brother-in-law and the youngest daughter who secretly nurtures a dream of becoming a singer. The family story that four people with different personalities will create piques curiosity.
Oh Se-young plays the youngest daughter Lee Eun-chae, who has an ultra-positive personality. Unlike model student older sister Lee Eun-seo (played by Kim Jae-in), who never lost first place, Eun-chae is a troublemaker who worries her father. As a job seeker, she lies that she was hired by a large company to avoid her father Lee Man-deok’s (played by Jo Hee-bong) nagging. In addition, she secretly performs every Wednesday as the vocalist “Soo” of the indie band “Indie Red,” continuing her dream of becoming a singer. As the precarious double life of job hunting and music activities continues, Oh Se-young is expected to bring Eun-chae’s cheerful energy to life with her unique lovable charm.
Jo Hee-bong plays Lee Man-deok, the father of sisters Lee Eun-seo and Lee Eun-chae. He thinks of himself as a modern father, but when dealing with his daughters he is more conservative than anyone. Unlike the eldest daughter Eun-seo, who lived up to expectations, he always worries about the youngest daughter Eun-chae. If his daughter stays out overnight, he already prepares clippers, and he does not hesitate to strictly discipline his daughter’s boyfriend. Man-deok, who only believes his daughter was hired by a large company, has no idea that she is secretly pursuing a singing career. Jo Hee-bong will add laughs to the drama by portraying Man-deok’s blend of affection and strictness with a sly performance.
Lee Choong-joo joins as Eun-chae’s brother-in-law and psychiatrist Seo Jin-woo. Jin-woo, who married his first love Eun-seo, is a devoted husband who dearly cherishes his wife. He is the only family member who learns of Eun-chae’s double life and acts as a reliable helper by keeping his sister-in-law’s secret. But protecting Eun-chae’s secret leads to creating another secret for his wife, which leads to unexpected obstacles. Lee Choong-joo is expected to show warm charm as a gentle husband to his wife and a dependable brother-in-law to his sister-in-law.
Kim Jae-in plays Eun-chae’s older sister and criminal psychologist Lee Eun-seo. Eun-seo, who boasted intelligence worthy of Mensa from childhood, also possesses striking looks to the point of receiving street casting offers. She is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and a decisive personality who cannot let wrongdoing pass, and even her husband Jin-woo is at a loss because of her. She finds her younger sister Eun-chae suspicious whenever Eun-chae skirts around talk of work, but she has not yet found decisive evidence to drop her suspicions. Attention is also focused on the realistic sister chemistry the two sisters, who have nothing in common, will show as they clash over everything.
