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.

Wang Ji Hae said, “Isn’t a woman’s jealousy such a scary thing? So honestly, I was scared that I’d be reviled when I was told that there was a kiss scene.“

But she continued to say, “But I was surprised. I received lots of messages on Cyworld and most of them said, ‘It’s my man’s own business what he does at work so I’ll accept it.’ I think they let me off the hook because Na Yoon isn’t a bad character.”

Wang Ji Hae revealed, “Lots of people told me how envious they are of me,” and “I was scared, but the fans are so well-mannered.“

Meanwhile, Wang Ji Hae has her viewers in bouts of laughter as she plays Seo Na Yoon, the seemingly perfect chaebol daughter who reluctantly concedes to the fact that she has been bested by a secretary No Eun Seol (Choi Kang Hee) in the eyes of Cha Ji Hun (Ji Sung) and Cha Mu Won (Kim Jaejoong).

Starring Ji Sung, Choi Kanghee, Wang Jihye, and JYJ‘s Kim Jaejoong, Protect The Boss has already stirred up positive reviews and is expected to be just as big a hit as its predecessor, City Hunter.

Protect the Boss Has an Excellent First Airing, Gathers Attention and Anticipation

This article is currently #1 on Nate, a popular portal site. The replies are, amazingly, very positive. 

“Boss” First Airing. Ji Sung – Choi Kanghee Fit Each Other To a T. “Birth of a Drama That Creates Laughs”

The new SBS Wed-Thursday drama Protect the Boss, which Ji Sung, Choi Kanghee, Kim Jaejoong, and Wang Jihye leads, had its first airing. Its unique atmosphere full of mirth colored the TV screen.

In the first episode of Protect the Boss that aired on the 3^rd, the clear characters of the leads were revealed and many the viewer have anticipations for the story from that point forward. In particular, the combination of the lead Ji Sung, Choi Kanghee, Kim Jaejoong and Park Younkyu, and Kim Hyungbum was enough to capture the eyes/attention of the viewer.

Ji Sung who has taken on the role of the delinquent boss Jihun, looks like a perfect man who is the son of a chaebol family and has the title of the director of the headquarters for C Group. But he gave laughs by showing that once you get to know him he does not do anything well and is mistake-ridden whatever he does. Ji Sung who had curled hair and repeatedly made mistakes made the viewers feel a special attraction towards him.

Choi Kanghee who also fought battles on all sides to become employed was also befitting of (her title) the queen of romantic company. The first scene in which she entered mushroom hair and did a round kick showed Eunsul’s character simply. In the first episode she kept being disappointed and became employed after much hardship but was even sexually harassed, to make the viewers feel sad for her.

Kim Jaejoong who is challenging himself to the drama scene for the first time showed a stable acting and made the viewers be filled with anticipation as to his brilliance to come.

At this, Park Youngkyu who took on the role of the CEO Cha, Jihun’s father, allowed the viewers to become even more absorbed through his unique and distinguished acting. Kim Hyungbum, the secretary to Jihun, also showed off a crazy presence and pulled his weight fairly. Ahn Naesang who made a special appearance also made an impression that could not be forgotten despite the short duration of the appearance.

The viewers who saw the first airing showed largely positive responses: “Its fun.” “Park Youngkyu is fun and Jisung is cute too.” “It’s just too funny.”

Whether Protect the Boss can catch the ratings and the fun is gathering attention.
