She did everything she could to keep him from finding out her secret. It didn't work: he knows. In Episode 2 of « What a Boss Wants » («What a Boss Wants» in French), Lee Eun-chae takes her first steps as an assistant to CEO Kwon Do-hyuk, the man who uncovered her double life. Between impossible demands, misplaced curiosity, and an unexpected growing closeness, their time working together at the office promises to be explosive.
Warning: Spoilers for Episode 1.
A virtual singer… and her very real double
Episode 1 revealed a surprising twist. Kwon Do-hyuk (Sung Hoon) created a virtual singer designed using artificial intelligence. Imagine her surprise when she stumbled upon a CD cover featuring a singer who looked exactly like her: Soo, the lead singer of the band India Red.
The CEO went to one of the band's concerts to find out for sure, before setting out after the singer. But Lee Eun-chae (Oh Se-young), who hides his double life from everyone, managed to disappear just in time.
Not fast enough, however, to fool Kwon Do-hyuk. The young woman’s suspicious behavior, followed by the discovery of the red stage dress in her bag, finally convinced him: Lee Eun-chae and Soo are indeed the same person.
A High-Stakes First Day
The new images show what happens next: Eun-chae starts her first day as an executive assistant… to Kwon Do-hyuk. It’s a situation that, right from the start, creates a strange atmosphere.
Faced with her new boss’s demands, the young woman isn’t going to take it lying down. These two, who bicker every time they meet, will now have to work side by side. Suffice it to say, things are likely to get hectic around the office.
A fall that comes at just the right time
One scene is sure to get fans talking. Intrigued by her boss’s lab, Eun-chae presses her ear against the door to listen to what’s going on inside. But the door swings open suddenly, and she falls right into Kwon Do-hyuk’s arms.
Suddenly so close, the two characters can't hide their awkwardness. A moment of pure romantic comedy, just the way the genre loves it.
And to make matters even more complicated, Kwon Do-hyuk finds himself on the phone with Eun-chae's father, a stern man who knows nothing about his daughter's secret life. It's enough to unsettle the heroine and once again shift the dynamic between the two characters.
