Director Lee Chul Ha and the lead cast of Unlock My Boss shared a glimpse of the series at the recent online press conference.
ENA’s Wednesday-Thursday drama Unlock My Boss is a drama set in a novel setting in which a person is trapped inside a smartphone. It is based on the same webtoon name, inspired in the story of genie-in-a-bottle.
President Kim Sun Joo (Park Sung Woong) gets caught up in a suspicious incident and gets trapped in his smartphone.
Meanwhile, Park In Seong (Chae Jong Hyeop) picked up the strange smartphone and changed his life.
“It is not just talking about a specific generation, but many generations.”
Unlock My Boss not just tackles the mysterious incident of the character. It also shows the love of Sun Joo (Park Sung Woong) for her family. The drama has a complex genre.
“There is a mystery about why they were locked up, and a romance where two wonderful male and female protagonists get closer,” Director Lee hints.
“I read the original webtoon first and I got very interested in it.”
When Chae Jong Hyeop first received the script, the story captivated his interest. The actor shared that he read the original webtoon first before accepting the offer.
Jong Hyeop thought that he could show a different side of himself as an actor through Park In Seong’s character.
“I admire Park Sung Woong’s energy and passion.”
The main leads were asked what it was like working with each other. Chae Jong Hyeop said, “I didn’t have to worry about working with senior Park Sung Woong. I had the belief that no matter how I prepared, he would match everything.”
The actor also expressed his gratitude to Sung Woong. He shared that his senior helped him how to act as if he needs to hold his cell phone in the scenes.
In addition, Park said that his junior was a little shy at first. But in the second half of the filming, the actors became comfortable. “We can laugh just by looking at each other,” he commented.
In those parts, a different chemistry was created.
Chae Jong Hyeop and Seo Eun Soo shared that they had fun filming the drama together. She revealed that she bumped into him on their first meeting.
The romantic relationships between the characters are evident. In response, Chae said, “There were a lot of parts that where we’re stuck together. There were also silly scenes that came out like an AI.“
Director Lee is like an older brother who says a lot of good things.
Kim Sun-ju, Park Sung Woong’s character, gets trapped in a cell phone. Thus, his voice only appears on the scene.
Director Lee Chul Ha described him as a reliable ally. “I thought that Park Sung Woong was a person who could digest a character enough for the people to know who he was just by hearing his voice,” he added.
Park said that Director Lee is like an older brother. His words helped the cast portray their characters better.
ENA’s new drama Unlock My Boss airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 21:00 (KST) starting December 7.
