The romance webtoon and web novel series Boss's Blatant Taste is being adapted into a live-action series. Actors Sung Hoon and Se-young Oh are in talks to play the leads: Do-hyuk Kwon, a data-driven AI expert, and Eun-chae Lee, an indie band vocalist. Production is underway with a target premiere later this year, though broadcast details are not yet set. English versions of the original works are currently unavailable.
The live-action adaptation of Sikeukeu's Boss's Blatant Taste is moving forward, with Sung Hoon and Se-young Oh in negotiations for the leading roles. Sung Hoon, offered the part of the AI expert Do-hyuk Kwon, has not led a long-form romance drama in three years; Se-young Oh is considering the role of the free-spirited vocalist Eun-chae Lee. The series is based on a web novel that later became a webtoon, though neither English version is available yet. Sikeukeu's previous work, My Boss's Perfect Wedding, had an English release on Pocket Comics before that platform shut down last October. Production is underway, with a target premiere later this year, but no network or streaming platform has been announced.
