I just finished the drama…. Ji Sung is amazing! He looks damn good… Somehow, the ending was vague, and up to my imagination…so I believed that they lived, somewhere far away. I’m thinking of watching Protect the Boss which stars Ji Sung…

I’m watching it now and the chemistry between In Sook and Ji Hoon got me hooked. However, the change in character for In Sook is not well-explained. How she changed from a terrified oppressed daughter-in-law to a scheming woman who enlisted the help of the chief of security was not well-presented. If it was a gradual change say, for love of her son, the motivation could be more believable. The acting is good but the psychology of the characters is all over the place.

Protect the boss is awesome! Ji sung is a really great actor 🙂

This is a must watch drama. Actors’ play is amazing, especially Ji Hoon and In Sook as characters won’t leave one indifferent. The flow of the story is great, someone said that the reason why Kim In Sook became like this is not fully explained, that’s so not true. This drama has its own secrets, but they are revealed with the flow of time one by one 🙂 and the ending is absolutely perfect, it’s not only leaving you alone with your imagination guessing what happened to main characters, but should be called a happy ending, when Ji Hoon and In Sook are leaving all misfortunes, all the games and schemes, all lies behind to become free from that corrupted family.
I applaude to people who created this drama and played in it 🙂 it is and will be one of my top favorite of all times 😀

Dissappointed. Difficult to accept the storyline. Cant imagine a young successful handsome guy would fall for a skinny, average look and sad looking woman who is 5-10 years older. Is the scriptwriter trying to send a message that lowlifer like ji hoon doesnot deserve a better woman? The lead female character with double personality is quite scary and didnt seems to match with clean and purer ji hoon personality. Ending is very vague and hanging. Totally dissatisfied with it.

i like this drama ^_^

Whenever Ji Sung acts, his emotion comes through so strongly especially when he looks at the woman he loves.
June 1st, 2012 at 10:24 am

July 23rd, 2012 at 1:33 am
Why is Seo Yoo Jung in this drama? She is not a good enough actress to be in any drama!
