## Synopsis

Unlock My Boss (2022-2023) is a South Korean corporate fantasy comedy-drama series created by Lee Cheol-ha and Kim Hyung-min for ENA. The story follows young man Park In-seong (Chae Jong-hyeop), who agrees to run errands for the spirit of a dying IT company founder trapped inside his smartphone, in exchange for ten billion won. Seo Eun-soo plays Jung Se-yeon, and Park Sung-woong plays Kim Seon-ju, both caught up in the tangled dealings of the company. Each episode is built around a new favor the phone-bound boss demands, which pulls the young man into boardroom maneuvering, rival factions, and quiet conspiracies around a corporate takeover. The series runs a single twelve-episode season of roughly an hour each, mixing a playful high-concept premise with the pressure of office politics and a growing sense of who can be trusted. Its tone stays witty and brisk, with sincere moments about ambition, loyalty and second chances. Fans of webtoon adaptations, Korean office comedies, and artificial intelligence fantasies such as Person of Interest and Mr. Sunshine will find much to enjoy here.
