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.

Dislike Male lead from ep 6
Until ep 6 i thought real CEO was mean and selfish person but after watching ep 6i found out being Nosy is more mean then someone who pretend to be indifferent
ML force FL to become friend with her creditor who try to force her into prostitution in ep 1
ML doesn't even know what happen between them but he think she should forgive him
he want to be friends with a PIMP because he know nothing about real world
from ep 6 he start looking like a man without balls
FL deserve better then this child actor trying to play adult character
Real boss was self centered mean but he never disrespected his secretary like ML did
otherwise i like this drama and what ever main cast was doing it was comedy other then adding a goon to there team and thinking that he will be loyal to them, ML was naive to be called adult, its like he has a childish brain that trust anyone so easily
i think ML was better suited with Creditor goon they make a Great BL couple
childish boy and big daddy
he get arrested not because of his enemies did that, it was because he was stupid little kid,
From episode 6 this show goes down and down ML become more of child then man, it was like negative character growth
i was unable to find any reason for FL to like ML, this drama was BL romance but they casted FL
it could be first Bi ML
at end of ep 7 child brain become extremely genius and bad people become idiots themselves without it ML would be a failure
even in ep 9 ML was having late night dinner date with goon
Director wanted to add goon to main cast so much so that he forget there is a FL there
director was even so focus on Goons background story that ML And FL were supporting cast
Kim Sung Oh was ONLY MAIN LEAD of Drama while other three were supporting cast Park Sung Woong should be mention as guest cast or vocal artist because only his voice was used
ML FL do not have background stories to add to them but side cast GOON has more flashback then anyone else
Director might have got a good BJ from KIM SUNG OH
even with FL goon has more chemistry with her then ML childish acts
episode 9 time 19.58 that gay look he give was make me believe this man was told to be gay in this show
AND for convince No one try to harm little girl, or ML parents
they only targeted FL mother who is in coma... but will not try to harm ML's parents because BAD people are also GOOD
even at end Goon was the one that save FL's mother so she should give him her VJ as reward not to Minor ML
Goon is one saving FL but she want to kiss a minor child , First female pedophile in Korean dramas
In whole ep 10 ML was only thinking about all the positions he can screw FL
in same ep ML got into problem and every one around the world was ready to give him BJ because he is most loved minor Adult ever
everything in this show is done by GOON Kim Sung Oh so what was need of ML and FL ?
Kim Sung Oh the great die for saving someone he never know what a great man
what was it..... an Autobiography on GOON life how pimp and good are better then main leads

He even talks so roboticly you'd never know it was a human that died and went inside a phone
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if his silver town? Lining? Thought he was the real 2ml cuz they used his characteristics to program him
But the ml is annoying. He never had a solid job and he became a ceo but instead of working hard he's being a lazy
Like it'd have been funny if he suddenly showed on the phone and connects to the tv or a watch 🤷🏻♀️

Its a disaster
The plot was new but the director failed to show it in a exciting manner or failed to bring life in the play. Many of the acting and scene felt too much of forced and felt kind of out of situation or maybe I was expecting much from this drama as i was mentally comparing it with 'reborn rich ' and as i didn't find it much of anything new other than regular drama in this maybe I am only disappointed that interesting plot gets ruined hope to see a good change in the drama and hope that drama will not follow the old general trend and bring changes to the dramaWas this review helpful to you?
