Get to know more about the characters of Unlock The Boss, ENA channel’s new midweek series!
Based on a webtoon of the same name, the series is slated for December 7 airing. It chronicles the story of a boss who gets trapped in his smartphone and an intern who picked up his mobile phone.
Correspondingly, the webtoon received great love at the time of its serialization for its unique material and dynamic development that crosses comedy and thriller. Collaborating as the creative team of the series are director Lee Chul-ha (Okay Madam!) and Kim Myung-min who co-wrote Netflix’s Sweet Home.
Drawing life to Park In-seong, a student on a training job, is Chae Jong Hyeop. His life turns upside down when he picks up a cryptic mobile phone. Stumbling on the smartphone of a company president, he infiltrates his company to pursue the truth according to the orders of the trapped president.
Next, Seo Eun Soo transforms into Jeong Se-yeon, an AI-like assistant who cannot afford to dream. While usually indifferent to other people, she becomes In-seong’s strongest ally.
Lastly, seasoned actor Park Sung Woong takes on the role of Kim Seon-joo, president of an emerging IT company who gets caught up in a vague incident that led to his soul getting trapped inside his smartphone. He is a world-class developer who turns imagination into reality but possesses a bad personality.
Subsequently, character stills are sequentially unveiled featuring the lead stars.
The Lucky Job Seeker
Chae Jong Hyeop is seen as the perfect picture of a job-seeker and part-time job master. His soulless eyes surrounded by pizza boxes suggest a sad daily life.
Putting aside his long-time dream of acting, he struggles as a job seeker. Desperation is also seen in his sincere face, which calms the trembling heart at the interview. Then, his life changed overnight when he picked up a phone. Will he solve the mystery and unlock the boss?
The actor also gives details about his latest project.
“The story development is fun enough to read the entire script in one sitting. The material is new, and I was looking forward to being able to show another side of myself. The teamwork to uncover the truth will be interesting.”
He also describes his character In-seong and promises an endearing character to watch.
“He is a colorful person who is fearless, yet courageous and fearless.” In order to express these points well without awkwardness, I focused and thought about every moment and worked on acting. We will be able to vividly deliver a thrilling fun that is different from webtoon. Please watch how Park In-seong, who happened to pick up a smartphone and became president overnight, and how the development that crosses comic and thrill will be released. He has worked hard and tried his best, so please watch and pay attention to him.”
The Loyal Secretary
Released character stills of Jeong Se-yeon, portrayed by Seo Eun Soo, emanate seriousness. Se-yeon is Seon-joo’s secretary who assists the CEO of leading IT company, Silver Lining.
She has a thorough personality, rarely revealing her real emotions. She is calm and collected anytime and anywhere and has a chic charisma to boot.
Curiously, as she connects to In-seong, will she become a reliable ally or a fatal enemy?
Echoing Chae’s comments about the script, the actress describes the charming points of the story.
“I was attracted to the material of Unlock The Boss. The script is so pleasant and fun. I was very curious about the back story and how this situation would be expressed. It is a delightful hybrid investigation in which Inseong, Seyeon, and Seonju join forces to achieve their goals.”
Likewise, she also delineates her character and the preparations she focused on to bring out the charm of her character.
“She is a person who has lost both her smile and her dreams. Seyeon, who used to be cold, is gradually opening up as she cooperates with In-seong and Seon-joo. I immersed myself in acting while thinking about Seyeon’s goal, why she wants to bring the president out of her smartphone so much.”
Unlock The Boss premieres on December 7 on ENA channel.
