Actor Sung Hoon shared his thoughts on the original work for “The Boss’s Vulgar Taste.”

On the morning of the 11th, Director Kang Sol and actors Sung Hoon, Oh Se-young, and Lee Jung-shin attended the production press conference for MBN’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama “The Boss’s Vulgar Taste” at Stanford Hotel Korea in Sangam, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

“The Boss’s Vulgar Taste” is a taste-bullseye undercover romance between chaebol boss Gwon Do-hyuk (Sung Hoon), who has zero taste and is searching for ‘Her’ from a single album, and indie band vocalist Lee Eun-chaeye (Oh Se-young), the only variable to appear in his life. It is based on the popular web novel and webtoon of the same name.

On this day, when asked if he had read the original work, Sung Hoon revealed, “As an actor, I naturally wanted to read the original work, but the director and production company requested that ‘it would be better if you didn’t see the original work,’ so (I did not) watch it.”

Oh Se-young expressed her affection for the work, saying, “Since visuals are very important for this role, I had a strong desire to reference them. Out of curiosity, I also looked at the original webtoon. It seems there was a joy that remained unchanged even as time passed.”

Meanwhile, “The Boss’s Vulgar Taste” will air its first episode at 10:20 p.m. on this day.
