In "The Boss's Vulgar Taste," Seong-hoon radiates a contrasting charm.

MBN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama, "The Boss's Vulgar Taste" (directed by Kang Sol, written by Nam Ji-yeon), is a taste-bullied undercover romance between Kwon Do-hyuk (played by Seong-hoon), the chaebol boss of "Zero," who sets out to find "Her" within a single album, and Lee Eun-chae (played by Oh Se-young), an indie band vocalist who appears as the only variable in his perfect life.

In the drama, Seong-hoon takes on the role of Kwon Do-hyuk, a perfectionist with cold charisma. He strictly trusts data and logic, judging all situations rationally while adhering to his own firm standards. Kwon Do-hyuk, who is more AI-like than the AI he created, is a person with 0% empathy who does not pay attention to others.

On the other hand, Kwon Do-hyuk, who appears perfect, also has hidden pain that no one knows about. Suffering from worsening insomnia, he has maintained an uncomfortable relationship with his father, Kwon Tae-ung (played by Park Jeong-hak), since losing his mother. Kwon Do-hyuk, who insists on classical music and extremely dislikes pop songs, takes charge of an entertainment company in crisis according to his father's wishes, deepening the conflict between father and son.

Seong-hoon pondered over the life of Kwon Do-hyuk, who possesses both money and ability, interpreting him as a character who is awkward with emotional expression and carries loneliness. In particular, he pointed out another aspect of Kwon Do-hyuk using the phrase "actually a throwing-tantrum child." He adds depth to the character by portraying Kwon Do-hyuk's indifferent attitude and the wounds lurking behind it through restrained emotional acting.

In contrast, Oh Se-young plays Lee Eun-chae, who brightens her surroundings with cheerful energy in the drama. Lee Eun-chae, whose enthusiasm and tears overflow, is a "human joy, anger, sorrow, and love" who is candid about expressing emotions, boasting beagle-like unpredictability. Lee Eun-chae, with an ultra-positive personality, does not easily get discouraged even in situations that do not go as planned, and dives into what she likes more passionately than anyone else. Oh Se-young cited "purity" and "loveliness" as Lee Eun-chae's greatest charms, revealing that she tried to maintain a lively atmosphere throughout filming to bring out the character's trait of being a "free-spirited child."

Such Lee Eun-chae is continuing a precarious double life while lying to her family that she has been employed by a large corporation. By day, she is a job seeker, but every Wednesday night, she takes the stage as "Su," the vocalist of "India Red," wearing a red dress. Lee Eun-chae, who is happier than anyone when holding a microphone and singing, shines brightest on stage. She hopes that someday someone will hum her songs, and today she dreams of a better tomorrow. Oh Se-young put effort into preparing for the character by conducting visual tests to portray "Su," who is 180 degrees different from Lee Eun-chae's usual self, and simultaneously practicing band rehearsals and coin karaoke. She is expected to draw viewers' support by sincerely portraying Lee Eun-chae, who does not give up her dream of becoming a singer.

In this way, Seong-hoon and Oh Se-young add unique fun through the romance of two men and women who are polar opposites in taste and personality. Kwon Do-hyuk and Lee Eun-chae, whose first meeting was rocky, form a mysterious atmosphere while bickering every time they meet. Then, by an unexpected chance, they enter into a three-month contractual relationship, beginning to gradually seep into each other's daily lives.

It stimulates curiosity as to whether Kwon Do-hyuk's solid taste will waver, and whether changes will occur despite Lee Eun-chae's vow that she would never fall in love with him. Expectations are focused on the unpredictable romance that Seong-hoon and Oh Se-young will unfold.

The first episode of "The Boss's Vulgar Taste" airs at 10:20 p.m. on November 11.
