An Analysis of the Appeal of the Two Directors of Headquarters: Ji Sung and Kim Jaejoong of Protect the Boss
What is the commonality among the male leads of dramas that are currently being broadcast in the midst of popularity?
Not only do they have the physical attributes that are fit to capture the female heart such as skyreaching height, clean complexion, and hard ab,s but they also are in the positions of being the director of headquarters.
Cha Jihun and Cha Muwon of the currently-airing SS Wed-Thursday drama Protect the Boss, Kang Jiwook of the weekend drama Scent of a Woman, and Moon Shinwoo of the MBC Daily drama Indomitable Daughter-in-Law are enjoying such heated popularity that a new word of “Directors of Headquarters F4” has been created for them.
The position of the character also is taking place as a kind of a trend. Instead of the department heads who used to melt the female heart in the past, the directors of headquarters are fulfilling that role.
In particular, Ji Sung and Kim Jaejoong of Protect the Boss are exuding opposing attractiveness and are capturing the eyes of the viewers.
The two who are in charge of Business Strategy Team 1 and 2 of DN Group are cousins but from their personality and style of work to the method of expressing their affections for the female lead Noh Eunsul, they show themselves to be quite different.
Ji Sung is acting a director of headquarters who is 180 degrees different from the many other directors of headquarters of the past. Ji Sung is smoothly pulling off Jihun who is immature, lacking, and acts like a grade-schooler and is generally an accident-causing X-man.
Even though he acts crookedly due to the trauma he suffered as a child, he has an untainted innocence through which he expresses his feelings without hiding for a girl he likes and acts adorable and thus makes the viewers smile.
On the other hand, Kim Jaejoong is playing Muwon, who unlike Jihun is referred to by others as The Prince of the Financial World and is recognized in his abilities through his artful living and gentleness.
He captivates the viewers– when it comes to work, he shows himself to be cold and filled with ambition, but when it comes to the woman he likes, he shows a warmth that knows no bounds. Kim Jaejoong is showing off a natural acting despite having this be his first challenge at an authentic piece and is drawing out praises of many people.
Plastic surgery specialist Hong Sungbum (director of BK East Plastic Surgery Clinic) said: “Ji Sung has a face and eyes that are of soft lines. This gives off a feel of being clean-cut overall but also friendliness and so makes the cute charm of the drama character stand out even more. Further, the cheekbones that rise slightly upon smiling and the flesh below his eyes makes him look younger and are factors that help him act Jihun who seems slightly young.”
Continuing, Hong Sungbum director analyzed: “Compared to Ji Sung, Kim Jaejoong has a porcelain complexion and has eyes that are large and vivid and so gives off a cold impression. This melds into the character of Muwon who seeks perfection in work and adds to the excitement of the drama. Adding to this, he has a body that is slim overall but is also hard, and so he is well-suited to act a chaebol who needs to wear a suit normally.”
On the other hand, the group JYJ of which Kim Jaejoong is a member will release on the coming 15th the music video of In Heaven which is written and composed by Kim Jaejoong and plans to begin their album activities in earnest.
