Rookie Lee Heewon, Transforms into the Secretary of JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong. “Protect Kim Jaejoong, the Boss.”
The Rookie actress Lee Heewon will transform into the secretary of Kim Jaejoong. The new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama Protect the Boss cast Lee Heewon as Yang Hayoung, the perfectionist secretary to Cha Muwon (Kim Jaejoong) who is the cousin and the rival of Cha Jihun (Jisung).
Yang Hayoung has the best of credentials, having graduated from a top university of Korea and being fluent in four languages. Furthermore, she updates herself on the business administration in general and is acknowledged in her abilities, becoming the object of envy of all (other) secretaries. In particular, she prepares refreshments for her boss at the speed of light and carries in her bag all items necessary for her work— a thorough person from beginning to end.
In the drama, she is an elite secretary who aids her boss Cha Muwon overtake the “lineal descendant” Cha Jihun and survive the successor game both materially and emotionally. She is the true wielder of influence in the Secretary Department and is a sunbae that Noh Eunsul admires. But she is also someone with a proud and cold attitude to make Eunsul’s work life tough.
She is guarding against Cha Jihun and Noh Eunsul who stand in Cha Muwon’s way and is harboring secret feelings for Cha Muwon.
Lee Heewon, who is returning to the drama scene after a long time since the drama Take Care of the Young Lady, revealed her thoughts: “As a beginner, I am happy to have been cast in a great work. I will do my best in the mindset that I am starting everything anew, and will show a good performance to the viewers.”
On the other hand, Protect the Boss is being aired as the follow-up to City Hunter. It is a romantic comedy that portrays the events that occur after the heroine who had been suffering from lack of work is hired as a dispatch secretary after much twists and turns to serve the male lead who is a delinquent superior to a mega-corporation. It will air starting August 3.

Woah, I love her character already….I think she’ll be the one that I’ll end up rooting for. x.x This reminds me of a manga I read a while ago…hm..
me too~ from the info released so far, im kinda rooting for this couple :p
OMG!!
To be honest first i was urg what is this plot (i’m kind of sick of bad-wrtitten going nowhere comedy-drama lately)… but the more they release details about the script the more i’m excited. Can we be August 3rd already!!! >”<
Lol same, at first I was O_o….
But as more details come out, I’m actually really intrigued by this. I’ll be looking forward to seeing this drama.
Getting more and more excited. For this drama!
August is so far away…. I’m torn between wanting city hunter to not end and to end now T-T
she looks like son dambi. *~*
I was looking for that name. I was sure I see that face but I’ve never heard Lee Heewon. The qualifications seems interesting.. I hope he could really help the boss.
she looks really pretty. i hope she’ll be a strong character because god knows korean dramas need more women who aren’t clumsy, helpless and just overall stupid.
Amen to that! There needs to be strong female roles in dramas, she seems like one I would cheer for.
this character profile made her sound like so. i’m rooting for her already! xD
Yes, yes, yes. She is pretty in a natural way, not doll type of thing, and I agree with you I also want women characters “who aren’t clumsy, helpless and just overall stupid.”
‘She is pretty in a natural way, not doll type of thing’
mte. i like the smart look that she has in the photo. hopefully they’ll groom her into someone who fits her character profile.
I want a profile of Jaejoong’s character. 😀
CANT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT! ><
I like this girls looks. Jae, don’t pass up an opportunity; this could turn into something interesting if she’s free!
looks like it’ll be a war between secretaries and bosses… ha ha ha
interesting!
Finally someone who will match JJ! I’m sorry but the other girls just look way too mature for him. And from her description, she’s gonna has a kickass role, and probably the best role because majority of her scenes are probably gonna be with him! I hope he’ll end up with her!^___________________________^
I wasn’t too excited for this drama also, but with each new details pouring in, it makes my excitement goes up more and more!
I approve.
I guess the shooting will start soon to catch up the first air on aug 3…
Waiting for stalker JJ shooting pics xD
I’m gonna so rooting for her…and I’ll end up sad T.T
This drama seems to be very interesting. ¡What an efficient secretary is Jang Hayoung! And therefore, she’s in love with her boss.
wow…so happy that it’ll air in the first week of August
Ohh, so shes the one who is the protector, right? Good, do your best Miss Secretary coz your boss really need someone like you to face the world, or else all the ladies will swarm the office… and him!
i’m torn.. praying for this to start right away is praying for City Hunter to end right away…. arrgghhhh i’m in love with Lee Min Ho in that show.. can they just have more seasons like Prison Break?
I’m the opposite, lol. Knowing that this is after City Hunter makes it easier for me to let go of City Hunter after it ends.
But I’m definitely in love with City Hunter. And I’m glad to actually see Lee Min Ho paired up with someone (Park Min Young) he actually has chemistry with. May ‘kilig’ factor sila, haha.
panalong panalo ang story.. kaya ahhhh,, gusto kong ma exicte pero pwede bang ilipat na lang nila ng timeslot.. wag na lng nila galawin si Gu Jun-pyo ah este Yoon-sung.. grabe pag tumitig sya ako ang natutunaw para kay Park Min Young.. napakaswerte.. halikan ni Lee MinHo at Yoochun… in the span of one year…
if Park Min Young gets to work with Jaejoong.. after working with Yoochun and Lee Min Ho.. then that’s it.. i’m convinced .. she saved a village in her past life.. (if there is)
Mas winner si Lee Yoon Sung kaysa kay Goo Jun Pyo para sa ‘kin. Sa lahat ng roles ni Lee Min Ho, kay Lee Yoon Sung lang ako nagka-crush, haha. Hindi ko inexpect na maganda ang City Hunter. Hindi ko nabasa yung manga at wala rin akong expectations nung pinanuod siya, pero ang ganda ng pagkakagawa at yung narrative. At ang swerte nga ni Park Min Young – isama mo na si TOP sa mga nakasama niya. Magaling din siya pumili ng role, in fairness. Sungkyunkwan Scandal tapos City Hunter.
Tama bang pag-usapan ang City Hunter sa post na ‘to? Haha. I’m actually quite nervous about Protect the Boss because the predecessors in its time slot were really good – 49 Days and City Hunter.
woooah you guys are like big hearted people :O…. im sorry im selfish but JAEEE DON’T KISS HER >.< if there is no kiss then everyone can be happy 😀 and she wont be killed by fangirls 😛 .. okay so on a serious note her character sounds awesome and i hope she acts well and also looks good ( like a good hairstyle we have had so many bad ones already). so yah FIGHTING! but still no kissing him pweeeaazzzz
