What a Boss Wants: Oh Se Young Is the Sunshine a Robotic Boss Never Saw Coming

What happens when a man who runs his life like a flawless algorithm hears one voice on an album and can’t stop thinking about it? That’s the charming premise of What a Boss Wants, and new stills of its leading lady are already winning hearts.

What a Boss Wants: Snapshot

Meet Lee Eun Chae: Two Lives, One Big Secret?

By day, Eun Chae is a job seeker fighting a brutal employment market. By night, she becomes Su, the lead vocalist of an indie band. It’s a double life many viewers will find oddly relatable: the daytime hustle and the nighttime passion.

Her personality is what makes her special. She’s openly joyful, but she’s also honest about her anger and tears. She’s quirky and unpredictable, and repeated job rejections don’t crush her. She simply finds small joys in everyday moments and keeps going. The newly released stills show Oh Se Young capturing that sparkle, right down to the bright eyes.

The Boss Who Is “More AI Than AI”

Enter Kwon Do Hyuk, played by Sung Hoon. He’s a chaebol boss with a perfectly ordered life, yet no sense of taste. After hearing a mysterious voice on an album, he sets out to find its owner. Eun Chae becomes the one variable he can’t calculate, and she hides her true identity as she gets pulled deeper into his world.

The production team teases that their opposite natures will create a unique chemistry: her warmth against his cool, rational mind. Opposites-attract fans, this one’s for you.
