Unlock the Boss (Webtoon)

Author Park Seong-hyeon's webtoon, "Unlocking the Boss," has been made into a drama.

​

I remember Unlocking the Boss was a comedy webtoon full of B-grade emotions, and I'm curious how the drama will unfold.

​

Kim Seon-joo, the chairman of Jackson, a large corporation, is killed in a mysterious attack in the mountains and captured by a smartphone.

The main character, Park In-seong, picks up the smartphone and decides to receive money in return for helping Kim Seon-ju. He infiltrates the company to find out who was behind the attack on Kim Seon-ju.

​

Jeong Se-yeon is suspicious of In-seong, who appeared on behalf of the boss, but after learning all the facts, she begins to help In-seong.

She finds clues to the case.

​

The human resources manager, Jeonmoo Meo, seems somewhat suspicious and a despicable person.

Chairman Oh is the most likely suspect in the conflict with the shipowner.

Chairman Jin, who is in conflict with Chairman Oh, etc.

​

While everyone looks suspicious, the existence of a dark side is slowly revealed.

(Even the cleaning lady looks suspicious)

​

In some ways, the webtoon story can be seen as a thriller or political story, but

Jeon-moo Mu is bald, Chairman Oh appears in Hell, and there are humorous elements with B-grade sensibilities throughout the story.

​

Kim Seon-ju, Park In-seong, and Jeong Se-yeon, who are trapped inside a smartphone, learn that there is a legend of soul change in the forest where they found the smartphone containing the ship owner, and that the ship owner's soul entered the smartphone.

​

While searching Chairman Oh's mansion and discovering and investigating the company's secret space, he was caught in an explosion.

Although he overcomes many hardships, he discovers the shipowner's body and tries to retrieve it.

​

A situation in which Chairman Oh is suspected of being behind everything.

The dark side reveals its ultimate goal and tries to kill the protagonist and his party...

Is it really Chairman Oh who is behind the scenes? And will the protagonist and his party be able to succeed in interfering with the dark side's purpose?

​

Unlocking the boss who is oriented toward SF despite being a fantasy setting where the soul is trapped in a smartphone.

Because there is a twist at the end, I can't write in detail because it could be a spoiler, but it is a good webtoon for people who like B-grade sensibilities and are looking for a lighthearted girlie.

​

Let me spoil the ending a bit.


Is there room for the superstition of soul change in the cutting-edge IT era?

Let's not fall into the preconceived notion that it's a cartoon.
