I found myself relating a lot to Eun Hwan Gi because I myself am a shy, introverted person. This is drama land so of course there's going to be some over exaggeration, but his inner monologues, having trouble speaking in front of large groups of people, avoiding social interaction, being able to notice small details, preferring to be by himself...that's what being an introvert person is. There may be some social anxiety mixed in his introverted personality as well which does happen. As for the black hoodie, they gave a reason as to why he started to wear it. So when you watch this drama, I wouldn't take the title too literally, but it makes sense why that's the title.
This is rare in dramas, but I pretty much liked every character. The cast had great chemistry and it was really fun and enjoyable to watch. The two leads were especially adorable to watch onscreen. They played off each other well. Opposites totally attract in this drama. Btw, I understand not all extroverted people come across as loud and annoying as Chae Ro Woon sometimes did, just as all introverted people are not all like Hwan Gi, but when you pair the two together, it kind of makes sense that you would see that play out a lot like how it did in this drama.
In spite of all this, I didn't particularly like a certain storyline. I felt like it wasn't a good enough reason to justify a certain someone's action. I think this drama was meant to be 20 episodes, so maybe when they did the rewrite it kind of screwed that part up a bit? But overall, I did enjoy this drama a lot and totally recommend it.
Also, the OST is 10/10! It's hard not to fall in love with every song you hear play throughout it.

Funny, emotional, quirky… all in one
After watching the flop of Only for Love, I wanted to see something different… not historical… and came across this one…And what a difference! I was interested since the beginning..
This is a story about ACCEPTANCE… to others and to yourself…
I found it eye opener and powerful.
Eun Hwan Ki…. Has so many layers… basically more yhan meet the eye…. Kudos to Yeon Woo Jin… he did a very god job portraying the anxiety and frustration of not being able to express yourself, not being heard… I stayed glued to the screen really hoping for his happiness…
It broke my heart how he was treated by his father.. always compared to others, belittled… of course it was bound to happen to become closed off and alone…
How smartly he matched every team member to the right assignment to take them out of their comfort zone but in a good way… that is true leadership in the workplace… kudos to the writers for that!
He has so much to give… jeez… got me crying every episode…
Now, Chae Ro Woon.. is exactly what I expected.. too loud, too pushy, too much… I liked that the writers shifted her towards a more understanding, even emotional intelligent side… still sparky but with more essence and not only noise…
How the drama with the sister broke her life… that is so true…. The ones that are left behind are the ones that pay the price… even years after.
I liked her direct approach…. It was the ying to Hwan Ki’s yang….
(I find her different than other actresses…. I like her)
Quite a lot of funny moments… balancing the seriousness of the drama quite nicely..
Would I watch it again? Yes
More importantly and unexpected…. Got me thinking differently about whats going on inside the mind of an introvert…

Forgive me annoying lead ?
I continue to watch it because it’s fun, and the acting is great however I can’t get over the fact that the main girl character is very annoying it is so annoying that instead me falling in love with her role I want someone to punch her face. 🥊Hopefully for the next episode something changes because I do like it.. and she is talented but maybe the role was set to be this way. I’m serious.. 😩😩😩😩😩 I thought it was just me.. then I thought no, I cannot be the only one that thinks this. And sure enough I was right. 🤪Was this review helpful to you?

2VALEU A PENA POR CAUSA DA YI-SOO, ME APAIXONEI POR ELA
A história é interessante, com vários personagens que aos poucos vão demonstrando suas dificuldades sociais e psicológicas. Todos tem problemas em se relacionar com os outros, sem exceção... Confesso que me apeguei demaaais a personagem Yi-soo, fiquei torcendo demais para ela superar seus problemas e ter um final feliz, não me decepcionei, fiquei mais feliz com o final dela do que com o final dos protagonistas, confesso hahahah...Embora não tenha tantos plots ou descobertas inimagináveis, é um dorama muito bom e leve. Não gostei muito do casal protagonista, achei eles não muito convincentes no quesito romance. Nesse ponto apostei mais na Yi-soo e Woo-il (No começo queria que ele morresse de tanta raiva, mas depois de algumas cenas dos dois juntos, eles esbanjaram química... Não resisti, me julguem, eu torci sim por esses dois!). O alívio cômico foi mediano, e não houve muitos momentos emocionantes. No meio ficou meio arrastado, pareceu que a protagonista tinha perdido o foco do que queria ou não, e estava só vendo onde ia dar. Não fiquei com saudades.

What a beautiful story
I loved it so much. I felt so much with the shy boss and with the problems he had. Maybe he reminds me on my past in some situations. The scene when she drove into his car and told him she was trying to forget him but wasn't able to. And he started to cry. That was so beautiful. Or when he was sick, lying in bed and she told him he wasn't responsible. There were a few scence, when I had tears in my eyes. It was a K-drama I had to think about for a longer time. These are the best. My shy boss belongs to my top 5 so far.Was this review helpful to you?
Une belle surprise
Même si le pitch de départ n’est le plus original, je reconnais avoir passé un très bon moment avec cette série.Yeon Woo Jin m’a impressionné par son jeu d’acteur, qui m’a semblé juste tout du long. Je serai un peu moins indulgent avec Park Hye Soo, qui m’a semblé surjouer son rôle avec beaucoup trop de mimiques et de réactions enfantines. Elle doit encore affiner un peu son jeu d’actrice même si on peut reconnaître qu’elle rayonne à l’écran.
On constate aussi une belle alchimie entre ces deux acteurs, ce qui fait qu’on passe un très bon moment en leur compagnie.
Mention particulière également au second rôle, en particulier pour Gong Seung Yeon qui joue la soeur de l’acteur principal et qui éblouit par son rôle torturé mais superbement joué.
Encore une mention pour Han Chae Ah, autour de qui tourne tout l’histoire et qui, même si on ne la voit que trop peu, m’a laissé une excellente impression.
Un peu moins convaincant a été Yoon Park, dans le rôle du meilleur ami. A aucun moment son rôle ne m’a enthousiasmé, trop lisse, pas assez charismatique et qui n’arrivait pas à transmettre les émotions attendues.
Le déroulé de l’histoire est plutôt classique, pas de grosse surprise de ce côté mais un développement linéaire avec une fin attendue mais bien amenée.
Un bon moment au final, à recommander malgré ses quelques défauts parfois horripilants.

KASIH KESEMPATAN DRAMA INI
SUMPAH INI DRAMA BAGUS BANGET,COBA AJA DULU SAMPE 6 EPISODE, KALIAN GA BAKAL KECEWA.
LAGU"NYA CATCHY ENAK DI DENGERIN
Cerita tentang bos dan tim nya yang luar biasa. perjalanan seseorang yang takut dengan keramaian, menjadi CEO perusahaan. ingat 1 hal. tidak ada yang jahat dalam film ini, semakin kedalam semakin mengerti alasan setiap kejadiannya.
rating rendah bukan karena kualitasnya ga bagus, tapi karena drama nya menurut gue terlalu lama membawa kita paham, tapi wajar kok karena dramanya juga lebih dari 16 episode.
