A struggling job seeker by day, an indie band vocalist by night, and a chaebol boss with an oddly specific obsession — Oh Se Young’s next role sounds exactly like the kind of setup K-drama fans live for, and it’s official.

## The Casting News

On August 13, MBN confirmed Oh Se Young as the female lead in “What a Boss Wants” (working title), joining previously announced male lead Sung Hoon. She’ll play Lee Eun Chae, a job seeker who secretly moonlights as indie band vocalist “Su.”

## What’s the Story?

The drama follows Kwon Do Hyuk, a chaebol heir with famously poor taste, who becomes fixated on tracking down the mystery woman behind a voice he heard on an album. That woman turns out to be Lee Eun Chae, who lives a double life balancing a tough job hunt with secret late-night performances as her stage alter ego, Su. As the two grow closer, she works to keep her true identity hidden from him.

## Why This Casting Works

The production team specifically praised Oh Se Young’s ability to shift between Eun Chae’s grounded, real-world struggles and Su’s stage confidence, calling it a chance to showcase her range across two very different sides of the same character. Pairing that dual-identity role with Sung Hoon’s chaebol lead sets up the classic slow-burn dynamic K-drama fans keep coming back for: mistaken identity, high stakes, and a romance built on secrets waiting to unravel.
