110909 Protect the Boss Ji Sung and Kim Jaejoong. Are They Really Enemies? Heart-Wrenching and Tender Scene.

Ji Sung gathered all eyes in revealing a distressed heart at the sight of his enemy-in-love Kim Jaejoong’s leaning on his shoulder.

On the SBS TV drama Protect the Boss that aired on the 8^th, Ji Sung who could not hide his sorrowful heart while taking home Muwon who was intoxicated due to his wounds of losing his love.

Jihun and Muwon, who are successors to a chaebol estate and also cousins, are in the middle of a conflict of love over the secretary Eunsul. However, as Eunsul chose Jihun, Muwon had to endure deep wounds. He whose feelings for Eunsul was sincere expressed his ardent wish to Eunsul to remain friends at least, but the wounds of having his love declined was deep.

As such, Muwon drank with Nayun and became uncontrollably intoxicated. To dissuade him Jihun and Eunsul ran over. The person who came to take the intoxicated Muwon home was none other than Jihun. He gazed at Muwon, who had fallen asleep with his head softly on Jihun’s shoulder due to being intoxicated, with complicated feelings. Continuing, Jihun softly leaned his own head on the shoulder of Muwon whose head was leaning on his shoulder. Further, Jihun then said “I am sorry” with a gaze that shook and revealed his pained emotion for Muwon.

They are enemies who cannot give up Eunsul for the other, but it is that the weight of the time – since youth they had shared their lonely hearts in quarrelling and playing – could not be ignored. It is that this was a scene in which the relationship of Jihun and Muwon, who cannot hate each other genuinely despite fighting over love and over the right to control the corporation, was portrayed in a way that betrayed much meaning.

On the other hand, on this episode Kim Jaejoong sang a heartfelt song while missing Eunsul and Wang Jihye drew tender feelings and laughter with her comic tone-deaf acting and added to the interest of the drama.

110907 Protect The Boss Is Dubbed the ‘Best Domestic Brand Promoting Drama’

SBS’ popular Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Protect the Boss’ has become a hot topic once more as it was dubbed the ‘Best domestic brand promoting drama’.

During the episode that aired on the 1st, Eun Seol (Choi Kang Hee) and Mu Won (Kim Jaejoong) were seen on a date and watching a movie together, and the movie they saw was none other than the Korean animation movie ‘The Hen that Left the Yard’, which has attracted over 2 million viewers.

Aside from historical dramas, most dramas use many foreign products, but ‘Protect the Boss’ has made sure that even the smallest of details contains domestic products, giving it the title of the ‘Best domestic brand promoting drama’.

In the early episodes of the drama, Dooli, the popular Korean cartoon character created by Kim Soo Jung in 1983, appears on Ji Hun (Ji Sung)’s boxers and CEO Cha (Park Young Gyu)’s community service scenes. The coffee shop that Ji Hun works part-time in is a chain store of ‘Holly’s Coffee’, a brand that began in Korea.

Even though CEO Cha’s DN Group is set as one of the biggest conglomerates in Korea, everyone uses the K7 car from a domestic brand and when Mu Won and Na Yoon (Wang Ji Hae) dine together, they usually meet in Korean restaurants rather than at Japanese or expensive Western restaurants. Even the tablet PC that Choi Kang Hee uses is domestic brand Samsung’s Galaxy Tab and the drink endorsed by the drama is Gwangdong Pharmaceutical’s Corn Husk Tea.

To this, netizens showed a positive response as they left comments like, “‘Protect the Boss’, in which there are no Japanese or Western influences, is truly the best domestic brand promoting drama,” and “Not only is it fun to watch, but it’s also true to Korea.”

“You Fouled!” Cha Muwon Kicks Cha Jihun After Jihun Breaks Their Promise

At the Forehead Kiss of Boss Ji Sung and Choi Kanghee, Kim Jaejoong Gives a Kick of Fury

At the foul play of Ji Sung, Kim Jaejoong let fly a kick.

On the 11^th episode of the SBS Wed-Thursday drama Protect the Boss that aired on the 7^th, Cha Jihun kissed Noh Eunsul on the forehead.

Cha Jihun while having a conversation with Noh Eunsul, perhaps because to his eyes Noh Eunsul looked lovely, said “I have a promise with Muwon but I’m going to have to do a foul” and proceeded to gift her a forehead kiss. Noh Eunsul stayed utterly frozen. Cha Jihun and Cha Muwon had agreed, as two men who both like Noh Eunsul, to contend battle on fair ground.

Cha Muwon, who attended the meal in which all of the family members gathered, went up to Cha Jihun’s room after the meal was over and started to finger the figurines. To such a Muwon, Cha Jihun asked: “Shall I give it to you?” Cha Muwon immediately answered: “Yes, give.”

Cha Muwon proceeded to keep asking Jihun for several more of the figurines. Continuing, he poked hard Cha Jihun’s stomach and also poked at the truth: “You fouled.” Cha Jihun whose conscience rebelled raised both of his arms to a defenseless position and said “hit me” in a voluntary surrender. Cha Muwon seemed to be just passing by such a Cha Jihun, but perhaps due to being unable to contain his fury, let fly a kick and then disappeared.

On the SBS drama Protect the Boss that aired on September 6^th, Cha Jihun suggested to Noh Eunsul: “Noh Eunsul, you said that you don’t like the place where I am in. So, I am saying this—shall I go to your neighborhood instead?”

Cha Muwon, who appeared on the scene just in time, stepped in: “No, there is no need. Because I am going to change our neighborhood.” Cha Muwon and Cha Jihun then fought each other, saying each will go to Noh Eunsul’s neighborhood.

Noh Eunsul who was watching this shouted “both of you stop” and poured out undiscriminating violence onto Cha Jihun. Noh Eunsul who then turned to Cha Muwon and raised her hand as if to hit him said: “This director, I just can’t hit.” Then she said: “I am the most cowardly one. I am.” She then proceeded to hit her own face with her fist.

Cha Muwon and Cha Jihun were then shocked and asked her whether she was okay. Noh Eunsul babbled “did I hit you two as well” and hurriedly left, saying “I shall leave before I cause more trouble.”

On the other hand, in this episode Noh Eunsul and Cha Jihun showed off a sweet forehead kiss.

Cha Muwon to File a Lawsuit Against CEO Cha for Breach of Fiduciary Duty

[Background Information] 

Originally, CEO Cha was acting as an advisor to Muwon’s mother Shin Sukhee with regards to her efforts to acquire a large distributor firm. Therefore, a principal-fiduciary relationship was created. A fiduciary owes, among others, the legal and legally enforceable duty of loyalty to his principal. The duty of loyalty requires the fiduciary to put the principal’s interest ahead of his own.

Despite this, CEO Cha, upon finding out that Shin Sukhee had turned one his executives onto her side without his knowledge, decided to interfere with Shin Sukhee’s efforts to acquire the distributor firm by aiding her adversary. As a result, Shin Sukhee was forced to pay a price for the distributor firm that was much higher than she would have paid if CEO Cha had not stepped into the acquisition battle.

In doing so, CEO Cha violated his fiduciary duty of loyalty owed to his principal Shin Sukhee and her corporation. Thus, Muwon is contemplating bringing suit to correct this injustice.

Kim Jaejoong of Protect the Boss. Against His Uncle Park Youngkyu Files Suit.

 

Cha Muwon has turned to lawsuit against his uncle CEO Cha.

On the 11^th episode of the SBS Wed-Thursday drama Protect the Boss that aired on September 7, Cha Muwon rose in revolt against his uncle CEO Cha who had interfered with the acquisition of a distributing firm.

Cha Muwon confirmed with his mother Shin Sukhee as to “whether there is any scheme attempted without CEO Cha’s knowledge.” It is because CEO Cha mentioned that Shin Sukhee had first aimed to betray him. Shin Sukhee denied it, saying there was no such thing.

Cha Muwon said to CEO Cha: “You said that my mother was the one who committed the first mistake. I do not know exactly what kind of a mistake it was but I will apologize on behalf of her. I will also apologize for having behaved with impudence in front of you.”

Continuing, Cha Muwon asked him: “However, definitely your methods were wrong also. Therefore I have no choice but to use the same kind of methods against you. So, please, you stop first. Please straighten everything, even if only now.” But CEO Cha denied Cha Muwon’s plea.

Cha Muwon who returned to his office told his secretary the following and prepared the lawsuit: “I will file a lawsuit against CEO Cha. We need to evaluate exactly how far we had come (in our acquisition efforts) at the time that CEO Cha began to go forth with the Consortium.”

Plastic Surgeon Analyzes Jaejoong’s Porcelain Complexion and Vivid Eyes to be Suitable for Muwon

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 15^th the music video of In Heaven which is written and composed by Kim Jaejoong and plans to begin their album activities in earnest.

Jaejoong’s Acting Garnering Praises. “Acting, Really Has Quite an Odd Charm.”

Kim Jaejoong. “The Thing Called Acting, Really Has Quite an Odd Charm.”

 

Artist and actor Kim Jaejoong has fallen deeply into the attractiveness of acting.

Kim Jaejoong has recently revealed emotions unique to him on his Twitter: “The thing called acting has quite an odd charm. Singing, dancing, directing, and also composing, writing the lyrics, arranging of the music, and taking photographs too are all too interesting and fun, but the world called acting is also a different, new world.”

Kim Jaejoong who is being called by his nickname of Muwon-God as he plays the role of Cha Muwon in the SBS Wed-Thursday drama Protect the Boss is receiving a great love from the viewers with the unusual conceptualization of the character. In particular, Kim Jaejoong has challenged himself for the first time to the drama scene of Korea with Protect the Boss, but unlike most of the idol-turned-actors, he is showing a natural acting and is being praised.

Such an acting ability of Kim Jaejoong was helped in large part by his experience in Sunao Ni Narenakute, the drama last year from Japan’s Fuji TV. At the time Kim Jaejoong showed off an ability that did not fall behind even when collaborating with the star actors of Japan such as Ueno Juri and Eita. Further, he even captured the 2010 Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix for Male Supporting Actor and was thus recognized in his lofty potential as an actor.

At the same time, JYJ of which Kim Jaejoong is a member is looking forward to the release of the Korean-language regular album titled In Heaven.
