Ready Action
One of the MAIN twists of this series will be quite predictable, but how they end up there will not be. great acting as the main characters are played flawlessly. Supporting roles also were used in such a way that they became main parts of the story. My only critism lies with repetitive music. The song choices were fantastic, and even added a couple to my Shazam(music ident app) list, but when you are binging this series you will notice they reused a small handful of great songs instead of showcasing more talent.Was this review helpful to you?

Had Potencial
The story was good. Great even. The script was good and the acting was on point. But damn they fumbled the bad at the end. Literally the ending makes absolutely no sense and had too many lose ends. I haven't read the Webtoon but still. The end disappointed me a lot.First: The AI was really an AI, right? So why keep it? Why would you travel around with an AI puppy and have it as a honorary third wheel?
Second: who's taking care of the company?
I understand he wanted to be an actor but it was established throughout the show that he's a great CEO. Dreams can change.
Third: The little girl is ... ALONE?
That was the one that annoyed me the most. they inserted themselves in the girls life, acted as surrogacy parents but once the company was saved they just left her to be raised by the maid?
they should've at least showed if they're still part of her life.
in conclusion, the ending was rushed and to me it ruined the story. I will not be watching it again

Artificial Intelligence System Helpful or Fearful?
This company has not only developed glasses and self-driving cars, but has also tested technology that feels emotions (Baro 4.0).This unemployed man becomes the CEO of an artificial intelligence system company after finding a lost phone that seems to contain the missing CEO. This poor guy trusts the program and tries to find out what happened to this man. His secretary and an unconventional bodyguard help him.
Is there any need to be afraid of artificial intelligence? Maybe.

A great drama
A great drama, 12 exact episodes!! No episode is boring or unnecessary. It has everything a good drama should have.* Tension maintained throughout the episodes is maintained
* Comedic scenes.
* Falling in love and good chemistry between the characters
* Characters develop with the plot
* Additional exposure to the capabilities of Ai, artificial intelligence that is already "here and now"
Not futuristic and really not imaginative and not fictional at the same time also scary,
It is no secret that the capabilities of artificial intelligence can also be used by hostile institutions
and not immoral
* Perfect casting and one captivating and talented Chae Jong Hyeop.
* Sound track is perfect and suitable for the scenes..

Get throug the first six or so episodes for a satisfying later half... worth it.
Not really a spoiler, just a brief mention of a scene by one character. You will have to watch the show to see the scene I very briefly mention.Tough call between 8 and 9 stars. At times, the show gave a sense of complacency instead of anticipation. I debated whether or not to continue after six episodes. I am glad I did, in a way. The final episodes picked up the pace and gave a satisfying finish.
Cast: 10 / 10
Story: 8 /10
Production: 9/10
Character development: 8/10 - at times - for brief moments - I loathed the portrayal by Chae Jong Hyeop as Park In Sung. The ML didn't hit his stride until the last half of the show. Seo Eun Soo played her character well as Jung Se Yeon - somehow she reminded me of seeing I.U. for the first time in "My Mister" (a must watch) though the two shows are vastly different.
Throw in a wildcard (personal satisfaction of show) and the final score comes to 9/10 stars.
Favorite Character: Mapi, played by Kim Sung Oh - this character alone could be cast in a prequal.
Special mention to Gi So Yoo as Kim Min A. Lovable and sympathetic character. I was surprised at the amount of screen time she received. Good call by producers/writers. SPOILER ALERT*** the scene about the cops is memorable. ***END SPOILER ALERT

Good Enough
Korean Drama " Unlock My Boss " is a business thriller with a sci fi twist.The drama has some interesting characters that support the whole drama and craft a nice puzzle of unexpected heroes that come together to solve a mystery.
The side characters were also pretty entertaining and their stories were emotional and gave a nice twist on the main story.
The latter was suspenseful, but predictable as well, with the main mystery relying mostly on the power struggle and the dynamics of the characters than to create a fresh view on the story.
The romance, moreover, was something that the story could live without.
The performances, finally, were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The two young cast members. That's why I am watching her. Okay he is good to. But I thought she would be a lot more of a strong personality Secretary because she works for the he CEO. That's not the he case. It's great seeing new with twist that I will not be able to guess my way. This is one of them. Keep going! 👍🥰😉Must be 500 in length? Huh🤯😭 I forgot I have to write an essay for a drama site. Oh well. The fact of the Business side he needs to learn to protect himself from each person. In the Business world that probably wouldn't have worked because the they would have found him out sooner. 😁

Boring....
Was eagerly waiting for this because I wanted a light drama with a few laughs. Episodes 1 and 2 were ok but the plot eventually turned confusing. The story was just all over the place. A father on his way to join his daughter encounters a mishap which results in him living inside a smartphone....BUT how stupid is it that his excuse is being on a business trip and doesn't even contact his child that whole time??????From there on, the story just went downhill. Too many characters and poorly thought of scenes. Was sorely disappointed because I frankly, the ML was suited for this type of genre.
Finally decided to drop it.

Somehow everything is perfect
The whole show is amazing.At the start of the story, the acting chemistry is all perfect.
It is small but compact and enthralling to see.
The chemistry between the ML and the FL is one of the greatest; how they support each other in their difficult time is one of the greatest.
The mystery of the thing and the murder is also great, also a prospect of season 2.

Smoking OST and great concept drama journey
Chae Jong-Hyeop (Nevertheless), Park Sung Woong (Snowdrop), and Seo Eun-Su (Dr Romantic)This is an unusual Korean Drama starring Chae Jong-Hyeop (Potato Man from Nevertheless) as Park In Seong, who is putting out multiple Korean dramas a year now. I suspect that he is trying to catch up with Song Kang.
With radical music as a backdrop and the best OST of the year (2022), this high tech Light Comedy Thriller is a body switch drama. However, this time the body of an AI Corporate CEO is switched into a smartphone. This is an interesting concept, but the premise is not any harder to accept than the premise that men in red capes can fly. The drama character Park In Seong (Chae Jong-Hyeop) is a failed actor who ends up with the smartphone. The CEO in the phone (Park Sung Woong) solicits the help of the failed actor to get the personality of the CEO out of the phone and back into reality, as Park In Seong substitutes for the CEO in the Company for a time . Unlock My Boss is a lighthearted Comedy Korean Drama Chill Pill and a great down-time drama. This drama keeps getting better and better over viewing time. I loved it and loved Chae Jong-Hyeop in this Korean Drama, Unlock My Boss.
Unlock My Boss PG 14 is based on a Webtoon by the same name. While this drama is not a slow burn, the super action does start in episode four. The drama has twists and turns as well, which keeps you guessing.
Quote: “People say, “”Time heals all wounds”. But this is half right and half wrong. Time does not heal anything for you. It is just during that time, you learn how to endure and deal with the pain until you get use to it.” Female Lead Unlock My Boss

not for me
I read so many good reviews about this drama, and I just couldn't get myself into it. the AI thing was ok, I can manage this much and dive into robots and program genius masterpiece, that's very ok. but I froze when the ML gave his phone to the female villain. I just froze. and I couldn't go any further.he knew how dangerous that was for him to give his phone and yet he did. nothing much happened from that error but I froze. I didn't like the way they lied to the little daughter, I didn't like how messy the investigation was, everything happening randomly in a state of constant chaos. the fact that everyone try to manipulate everyone all the time...
I think that the story is very ok, but the way they unfolded it was wrong. and lead me to drop.
I wouldn't recommend.
