What are the things you had to be careful about while preparing for your role?
Jaejoong: Because he is a character that grew up wealthy, his reactions and behaviors are complete opposite from mine. So, I had to be careful not to let that show.
Are there similarities between you and Muwon?
Jaejoong: Similar points between the two of us, we’re both public characters. There are things that we can’t do and we have to be conscious of everyone around us. I think his role as the financial prince born into a wealthy family is similar.
I think that because both of us are in the eye of the public, we’re in a similar situation when sometimes we can’t say everything we want to say and there are times when we can’t tell the truth.
The rest of his characters are so opposite from me that it’s very difficult to point out the differences.
What are Muwon’s strong points (charms)?
Kanghee: In the drama, Eun Seol sees Muwon as sort of a celebrity, I believe. Just like Jaejoong-kun’s fans receive energy and are cheered up when they think of him, it’s the same for me and Muwon.
Ji Hye: Muwon is the perfect man.
Jaejoong: Thank you very much! Do you want something? Really?
Ji Hye: And in the middle of his perfection he is also very honest. I think that honesty is a part of his charm.
Jaejoong: (Laughs)
Ji Hye: He’s also handsome. And there are points where he can be compared with Ji Heon. One is like a child and the other is a perfect man and they have vulnerabilities. Their charms are opposites. Each have their own charms. It’s the best isn’t it.
Jaejoong: Even though I’m right here you won’t say I’m better?
Ji Hye: Of course Muwon is better.
Jaejoong: Truthfully who do you prefer?
Ji Hye: Because in this role I’m involved with Muwon, so my heart is naturally captured by him.
Jaejoong: Exactly!
Ji Hye: What’s the scene we’re shooting today?
Jaejoong: Love scene right?
Ji Hye: Let’s do it well ok!
What are the strengths of “Protect the Boss” drama?
Kang Hee: This drama is like a collection of sweets. All ages can relate to the story line, it’s a great drama. There aren’t any villains and all the characters are lovable. Seeing the characters grow will give everyone, not only the youth, the courage to challenge something in their lives.
Ji Sung: The charm of “Protect the Boss” is that we learn that good and evil co-exist in this world, which is represented in many dramas, but here it is presented cutely through loveable characters. I collide with Muwon in many scenes where we compete for authority and even though we’re relatives there is our pride as men on the line too. Through the drama, funny scenes where I catch Muwon at the restaurant are drawn out. We have childish fights. This is a piece that makes us reflect on the human relationships. These points are clearly represented in the drama making it a good piece of art.
Jaejoong: It is a drama that is funny and at the same time thrills the audience. In every society there are problems and this drama works to solve these problems. Whoever watches this drama, they will relate to it and will understand the message that the drama carries to change all the worries and problems into pleasure.

Beloved Jaejoong is so perfect as Muwon god. I love Jaejoong being a humble person during Protect The Boss interviews but at the same time showed us his good sense of humour.
I even have Jaejoong big Protect The Boss photo as my desktop wallpaper…:) I always start my work by looking at Jaejoong’ so handsome and flawless face…:)

OH YEAH!!!!
i love that part of the interview! ^_^
i would say something else abt this and who would be annoyed by NaMu couple, but i’ll hold my tongue cos u guys already know… hhehhehehehe
lol ! i know what you wanna say, dear, we share the same feelings ^^
JJ is so cute and playful omg \O/
I watched this drama because i am audience of Jae Joong..But I can`t understand Muwon`s character.
OMG really? I’m gonna be 14 in 3 months and I can understand Muwon’s character!! XPPPPP
at first i’m like you i can’t understand MW character coz i thought i will see a bad muwon but….we knew the result ^^.. i think this is the first time i watch korean drama where’s no one acts as a bad person.
JAEEEEEJOOOOONNNGGGGG!!!!!! LOVE THIS DRAMA SOOO MUCH~~ Ji Sung too~~~
Jae’s personally relationship with Japan really shows in that last line. The rest of the whole interview is about the drama, but that last part is so personal between Jae and Japan. So playful and intimate.
the video is can’t be watched in my country.. is there another link?
