Sung Hoon Returns to Lead Role in MBN Drama "What a Boss Wants" After Three Years.

Sung Hoon is returning to a leading drama role after three years in MBN's new rom-com 'What a Boss Wants,' which premieres on Nov. 11 at 10:20 p.m. KST.

Actor Sung Hoon is returning to a leading drama role for the first time in three years, and a new teaser has fans talking about his noticeably slimmer face.

MBN released the second teaser for its upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama "What a Boss Wants" on Wednesday. The show follows a fake romance between chaebol boss Kwon Do-hyuk, played by Sung Hoon, and indie band vocalist Lee Eun-chae, played by Oh Se-young.

The teaser follows the two leads as they meet for the first time and gradually grow closer. It opens with Kwon Do-hyuk walking past a row of funeral wreaths outside Oyes Entertainment. "I'll have to make one myself. A celebrity who doesn't cause scandals," he declares, announcing his plan to create a star from scratch.

Their first meeting takes place at a hospital. Spotting Lee Eun-chae in a doctor's coat, Kwon Do-hyuk looks puzzled. "There's no way that face got good grades," he says. After noticing the name Seo Jin-woo, played by Lee Choong Joo, on the coat, he realizes she is not a doctor and starts teasing her.

Kwon Do-hyuk then finds an India Red CD and sets out to track down someone named "Su." "Something I created actually exists?" he says, stunned. He later heads to a live venue, watches "Su" perform onstage, and tells Lee Eun-chae, "I need to meet this friend called Su." Lee Eun-chae pushes back. "Why are you so obsessed with Su?" she asks.

The mystery surrounding Su's identity deepens. Kwon Do-hyuk chases Su as she runs away, then finds a red dress in Lee Eun-chae's bag. "Lee Eun-chae, who on earth are you?" he asks. She tries to keep her identity a secret.

The two cross paths again at a job interview. When Lee Eun-chae spots Kwon Do-hyuk and tries to leave with a quick "Goodbye," he orders his staff, "Bring her back." Seated across from him again, she struggles with his questions, but he dismisses her concerns. "It's fine. I like it," he says.

Romantic tension gradually builds between them. When Lee Eun-chae walks in on Kwon Do-hyuk in the shower and blurts out, "I didn't see anything," he jokes back, "You're the first person I've shown only myself to."

The teaser also shows Lee Eun-chae falling into his arms. With her ear pressed against his door, she tumbles into Kwon Do-hyuk when he suddenly opens the door. "Why is my heart racing?" he says, caught off guard by his own reaction.
