MBN will premiere its new Wednesday-Thursday drama, The Boss’s Blatant Taste, on November 11 at 10:20 p.m. The romantic comedy features Sung Hoon as Kwon Do-hyuk, a data-driven conglomerate CEO, and Oh Se-young as Lee Eun-chae, an indie band vocalist, according to OSEN. The narrative centers on their unlikely connection, which the production team describes as a disguised romance aimed at the boss’s specific, taste-free preferences. The series, which was produced by Gadin Media, follows Kwon as he searches for a mysterious woman he identified through an album.

Cast members define the drama’s emotional tone

Ahead of the premiere, the lead actors shared their perspectives on the project. Sung Hoon, who portrays the CEO of Oyes Entertainment, characterized the drama’s mood as “late autumn,” noting that the story mirrors the feeling of seeking warmth during a cold season. He also pointed toward the complex relationship between his character and his father, played by Park Jung-hak, as a central point of intrigue. “The son dislikes his father’s personality but has inherited it,” Sung Hoon remarked, suggesting a hidden story behind their dynamic. He further noted that from an outsider’s perspective, the two characters appear undeniably “blood-related,” and hinted that viewers should watch closely for a potential twist in their relationship.

Oh Se-young described the series as an “alarm” designed to awaken both love and laughter. She emphasized the importance of the band dynamic in the show, noting that the members of the indie group “India Red” underwent significant rehearsals to build authentic teamwork. She praised her co-stars for sincerely loving the stage and music.

Lee Jung-shin highlights character transformation

Lee Jung-shin, cast as the pediatrician Moon Tae-kyung, labeled the show a “bouncy, feel-good romantic comedy.” While he described the filming process as a joyful experience, he noted that his character faces significant emotional challenges throughout the narrative.
