Introverted boss was a drama with one of the biggest potential ever (in the rom-com world), but it had some weaknesses that made me change my opinion several times. A premise should be that there was a script review after the 4th episode. It was for the best, yet it didn't manage to completely heal the drama that suffered from a bad start untill the end and that put 'bad' pillars stones to the drama. STORY The story was good enough to catch the attention just by reading the plot. Just a office drama: so projects, team work, relationship between coworkers. There were two interesting things: a suicide case, and a peculiar boss. The suicide case remained unsolved till the ends, this kept the drama interesting, but made the main couple suffer and being awkward. The main lead condition was really true to reality. ACTING/CAST I enjoyed the cast much. The male lead performance was outstanding: so true to reality and so relatable. He opened slowly to the world and that's something I really appreciated. The main girl was nothing more than okay. At first she was the most hateful character ever: so childish and immature. I feel her character suffered much from the script review, because it became nice. However, I can't understand why people say that she went from bad to extremely good and nice. To me it was just nice and kind, but nothing more. The second leads were actually quite okay. Their characters were complex and kind of deep. Side characters were nice, but nothing much. MUSIC Nothing much to say. There were some nice songs, but the ost did not become one of my favorite. REWATCH VALUE I don't think I would watch this again. Mostly because of what I'll write down below. OVERALL Introverted Boss, as I said, had a lot of potential... but not to be a romantic comedy. The suicide case's shadow is always lingering and tormenting the characters who end up revealing details gradually. Despite the nice atmosphere in the office, I couldn't help to feel bad for that girl who killed herself. Also I couldn't feel the chemistry between the main couple. I wanted them to be together just for him to overcome his shyness. Plus, there were moral obstacles against their relationship, they were pretty huge and actually - in my opinion- insurmountable. The main girl became just the kindest girl ever, she accepted people who ruined her life, who hurted her sister, changing completely from the beginning of the drama. The second main lead was overly egoistic, but I think it was becase writers were not so clear in portraying his character. The main lead's sister had an interesting character, but again, I felt they dealed with it a bit childishly. Still, I gave this drama 8 because it had lots of pros: the main character, the nice pace, the kissing scenes.
