Chae Jong-hyeop becomes CEO for Park Sung-woong in Unlock the Boss
by tccolb
Mixing elements of comedy, intrigue, and fantasy, we’re certainly in for a fun ride with ENA’s new Unlock the Boss which stars Chae Jong-hyeop (Love All Play), Seo Eun-soo (Missing: The Other Side), and Park Sung-woong (Snowdrop).
Following a suspicious turn of events, CEO Kim Sun-joo (Park Sung-woong) mysteriously finds himself locked inside a cellphone, which is consequently discovered by our hero Park In-sung (Chae Jong-hyeop).
Offering employment and some pretty, pretty cash, In-sung is then recruited to find a way to free Sun-joo – with the added favor of running the tech company until Sun-joo returns. Easy stuff, nothing to worry about.
In the latest group poster, we finally get our first look at Jung Se-yeon (Seo Eun-soo) as well. Although much of her character is still under wraps, we’re told that she’s Sun-joo’s secretary and is described to be even more AI-like than actual AI.
The new teaser begins like a thriller with Sun-joo alone in a remote area at night. We then cut to his dropped cellphone, which lights up as Sun-joo “awakens” and realizes: “I am Kim Sun-joo, the CEO of Silver Lining. I believe I have somehow become a smartphone.” He posts for help on the online forums, but everyone thinks it’s just a fun, new marketing idea.
When In-sung finds the phone, he’s similarly amused and scoffs in disbelief: “If you’re CEO Kim Sun-joo, then I’m Steve Jobs.” Acting swiftly, Sun-joo presents him with a signed offer letter: “You said that your job application was rejected at the final interview stage, right? You’re hired.” In-sung’s parents are naturally shocked and the appearing text screens explain: “A jobless 29-year-old becomes a CEO by chance?!”
We then jump to In-sung’s shopping spree, preparing for his new job, as Sun-joo reads out the contract: “Please become acting CEO for Silver Lining, on behalf of myself, CEO Kim Sun-joo.” After the drama’s title card, the teaser then closes on a newly suited In-sung, who wonders with smile: “If I’m the CEO… then I can clock out on the dot and not worry about other people’s disapproval, right?”
Directed by PD Lee Chul-ha (Okay! Madam) with scripts by Kim Hyung-min (Sweet Home), Unlock the Boss premieres next month on December 7 in ENA’s Wednesday-Thursday slot.

So he has become incorporeal! That sure must have been one helluva “suspicious turn of events” to lead to this. I’ll suspend my incredulity until I see how they are going to try and pull it off.

I like the fun music and the editing to make this look like low percentage stress attempted murder and high percentage fun attempts to solve the mystery. I really want this to be one I can actually watch and not be scared/stressed in the process.

This looks so fun! I do not require a scientific explanation for Sun-joo's entrapment and Park Sung-woong is so fun in comedic roles that I'm excited to see him here too.
ENA has been making some good dramas this year, so I'm pretty much down to at least try whatever they're serving up.
