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…

FAVOURITE KDRAMA EVER
I honestly don't know what to say or write but this drama was bt far the most surprising kdrama I've watched, tbh, i have seen this drama a few times but i don't dare watch it but after so many years (not that much lol), i just started few days ago and GODAMN, i'M in love with this....I can't really explain what got me in hooked in this drama, like i have watched a lot but there's smth bout this drama that I just relate to and love...such an amazing drama, i'm sure u can tell from my first impressions..but i still have to give u all a summary plot/character wise so u all can also at least see my point and pls try to watch this if uhaven't already...Firstly, Eun Hwan Ki is the introverted and socially awkward CEO of Brain Public Relations. Despite running a top PR firm, which specializes in communication and image management, he struggles with extreme social anxiety and prefers to remain in the background. His reserved and cold demeanor earns him the nickname “Silent Monster”, but in reality, he is kind, sensitive, and deeply empathetic. He is literally INROVERTS OF INTROVERTS, though Often mistaken for being rude or indifferent due to his quiet nature, Carries emotional scars from a painful past, which contributes to his reclusive behavior. & also Though awkward, he has deep feelings for Chae Ro Woon and slowly learns to open up. His character development is really is one-of-a0kind in kdrama history as Throughout the drama, Hwan Ki undergoes significant personal growth. Initially, he isolates himself and relies on Kang Woo Il to handle social interactions. However, through his interactions with Chae Ro Woon, he begins to face his fears, open up emotionally, and communicate more freely. His journey is about overcoming self-doubt, healing from past trauma, and learning to connect with others—both in his professional and personal life.
Additionally, the character of Chae Ro Woon is the complete opposite of Eun Hwan Ki—she is outgoing, energetic, and confident. She joins Brain Public Relations as a new employee with a secret mission: to uncover the truth about her older sister’s tragic death. Her vibrant personality and strong sense of justice make her a force of change in Hwan Ki’s life. Her CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT is one of the reason i loved this drama--From revenge to understanding: Initially, Ro Woon is determined to take down Hwan Ki. However, she slowly sees his true nature and realizes he is struggling with his own emotional wounds. Helps Hwan Ki grow: She pushes him out of his comfort zone, helping him open up and express his emotions. Learns to be more patient and understanding: While she is naturally quick to act, she learns to listen and understand people’s hidden struggles, especially Hwan Ki’s. Finds healing for herself: By learning the truth about her sister and overcoming her own grief, she finds peace and love with Hwan Ki. I also love her character cause Chae Ro Woon is not just a bubbly, cheerful character—she is multidimensional, with deep emotions and personal struggles. Her growth from revenge-driven to understanding and loving makes her a compelling and inspiring protagonist. She is the perfect balance to Hwan Ki’s introverted nature, proving that opposites can help each other grow.
(both the actor & actress did amazingly well, their chemisty was THERE, their humour was there, everything was on point)..
to the other leads to such as Kang Woo Il is an interesting antagonist because he isn’t purely evil—he’s a flawed human being who makes selfish choices to protect himself, even at the cost of others. His contrast with Hwan Ki is a major theme of the drama: while both have past trauma, Hwan Ki chooses growth and healing, while Woo Il chooses avoidance and deception, but this didn't stay like this, u will see how him too get to grow as a character and human being and lastly we have Eun Yi Soo is one of the most tragic characters in Introverted Boss. She represents the effects of neglect, unrequited love, and mental health struggles. However, she is also a character who, despite her flaws, tries to change. Her story is heartbreaking yet hopeful, showing the importance of self-worth and emotional healing.
to the other supporting casts, such as the other team members of "Silent Monster", i really enjoyed u all presence and thx to u all, the drama also became lively and humourous....THANK U SM!!
Thank u to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece of a drama, ur sincere work will be forever looked upon...i really really enjoyed it....To sum it all, , Eun Hwan Ki finally steps out of the shadows he has hidden in for so long. No longer just the misunderstood “Silent Monster,” he learns to express his emotions, face his fears, and embrace the people who care for him. With Chae Ro Woon by his side—her warmth and persistence breaking through his walls—he discovers that vulnerability is not weakness but strength.
For Ro Woon, the journey is just as transformative. What started as a mission of revenge turns into one of healing and love. She realizes that understanding and forgiveness carry far more power than anger, and in the process, she finds true happiness—not just with Hwan Ki, but within herself.
Kang Woo Il, burdened by guilt and fear, finally faces the consequences of his actions, while Eun Yi Soo learns to let go of her toxic attachments and take the first steps toward emotional independence.
In the end, Introverted Boss is not just a love story—it is a tale of growth, redemption, and the courage to be seen. It reminds us that even the quietest voices deserve to be heard, and sometimes, the deepest wounds can be healed with patience, understanding, and love.
THANK U ALL FOR TAKING UR WONDERFUL TIME IN READING THIS & u all check out this beautiful made drama...

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?
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.

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.
