This is a rare KDrama for me in that I actually really liked all of the characters (the main characters at least), and that every character's motivations felt genuine and made sense. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that for once, the main conflict of this romance made total sense and was very realistic. The story was deeply human, showing a range of emotions and different mental health issues in a way that was both raw and real. I did take off two stars because some spots were a bit cheesy/cringy, and the ending was very drawn out (this could have easily been a 12-14 episode show). But the actors all did a wonderful job and the story was interesting and full of drama that was proportionate to the characters. Definitely worth a watch!

All the credit for why this works goes to Woo-jin Yeon's portrayal of social anxiety and the lack of empathy he receives from the employees demanding empathy from him. No spoilers, there are characters who I utterly loathed from square one, and others who just reflect accurately societies lack of compassion and self centeredness. Just when I want to throttle the unforgiving for their spite, I am rooting for Hwan-gi's courage.

This show starts out very slow and even annoying. By the end of the third episode I was about ready to give it the boot. But I stuck with it and warmed up to it as the series went along.

This isn't the best K-drama ever, but it gets better with each episode. It's been said the final two episodes are unnecessary filler, but I didn't find that to be so. Those episodes tied up some strings and were well-done.

While there's something to be said for a show that deals with extreme shyness, at the beginning this series carries that concept to the extreme. How many times can a guy trip all over himself to avoid letting someone look him in the eye?. Fortunately after the 3rd or 4th episode that becomes less slapstick and more emotional in nature. The entire series remains under-keyed, but it has highlights and enough emotional and plot-twist intrigue to build interest as it goes along.

Just be aware that you may have to suffer through three or four episodes of "annoying" before the show even starts to get to the meat of the plot, and nearly halfway through before the series really gets down to the direction it's going.

As a side-thought: Do all these K-drama shows pick exactly two songs for the entire series? I got so sick of "Memories" and "Kiss My Lips" by the end of this series. I enjoy this genre in genral. I've sat through several longish series glued to the screen and once binged-watched a 45-episode series in 5 days. So it's easy to get hooked on K-com / K-drama. I wasn't so much glued to this one as "tolerant" of it, and in the end was glad I stuck with it. This doesn't seem to be as "binge-worthy" as other shows I've seen, but is still worth the watch.

Out of hundreds of k-dramas I've watched this is one of my absolute favourites. Having been in a bit of a drama slump, this has snapped me right out of it. Such an underrated show. The ratings for this series was pretty low and I somehow understand that the subject matter was risky to begin with. A show with a socially anxious hero is probably not something that the usual viewer would easily tune into. And his character climb was always going start at a pretty low point. So the first few episodes would be a little hard to digest. But within a few episodes I was properly smitten. Also, the dialogue was so plain and natural. Not the pretentious type where they spew sonnets that you have to wrack your brains to understand what the hell wisdom they are trying to convey. The funny parts were truly funny and cute and all the actors were excellent in both the comedic and dramatic scenes. The chemistry between the main leads were swoon worthy. I know there were some problems at the start of the series and there was a change in direction, but please do yourself a favour and watch this show. Totally worth it. Plus it's now available on Netflix. Yay! 20/10

It was great to see a show featuring a character who struggles with anxiety, as you don't see that very often. The story was really tragic and so aspects of it were hard to take. I felt so bad for the main guy being so misunderstood by everyone, but it was great to see him gradually come to have a little circle of people he trusted, who trusted him too.

I think this show highlights how people with anxiety and similar conditions can so easily be misunderstood. I didn't think of the other characters as jerks, the way some reviewers apparently did - because I could see things from both sides. They had no reason to know that their boss wasn't a jerk, especially as his family worked so hard to hide the fact. There were of course plenty of moments where I wanted to shake people till they came to their senses. But every character was dealing with their own "stuff".

As someone who is introverted and is socially anxious it was really great to see this represented and I think this is what this drama did well in the way it is written and in the actors portrayal. The main male lead is very relateable to me and the development of his character is enjoyable to watch. However there are some problems with this show that really ruin that plot and the premise of the series. For one, there are some very problematic behaviours from many of the other characters in the show that really don't get challenged or addressed properly which did make some parts very difficult to watch. Also, towards the end of the series it feels like more and more drama and 'twists' are being added for drama sake or to drag it out for a few more episodes. It makes some of the events leading up to this just feel like a waste of time and also leaves a few confusing gaps in the plot that could have been resolved without needless extra drama. There are themes around mental health- suicide and self harm but I feel that these were not handled well at all in this drama- not well represented and kind of skimmed over. At parts the drama switches very quickly from dark and serious plot points and themes to overly lighthearted romance/ comedy which can make it difficult to be invested in the story when this happens. This series could have been much better of the focus had stuck with the main character and his development instead of drawing away from this with a storyline and characters that are muddled, problematic and not well enough explored. I know it's a drama but I would have liked to have seen a little less drama.

Overall, this series about a boss with severe social anxiety is watchable and interesting. They certainly get social anxiety right. Someone with this issue is not all cute/quirky, smiling hesitantly and stumbling in a charming manner over their words. Such individuals are often mistakenly thought of as cold, aloof and uncaring (which is the mistake made about the series' protagonist). In addition, they also portrayed accurately the "overthinking" that the socially anxious engage in and how it becomes almost paralyzing. The timeline of a series was nice as we didn't see an overnight change but a more gradual reengagement of the boss with his team and the world around him.

That said, narratively, the series is, at times, incoherent. Supporting characters seem to change their basic natures to meet the demands of the plot (particularly the best friend character). The hardcore mocking that the protagonist receives from society at large as he attempts to improve himself does not seem realistic. I'm not familiar with Korean culture but I have a hard time believing such widespread lack of compassion to be realistic. It seemed over the top. (And speaking of over the top, the protagonist has a pair of the most despicable parents I've ever seen in any program. Though, sadly, that's probably not completely unrealistic).

If you focus on the evolving nature of the main character and his romance with his outspoken employee (and ignore all the plot twists and unnecessary narrative detours), you'll enjoy the series.

I was so excited for this series to come to netflix. Unfortunately I am on the 4th episode and the leading lady is so extremely unlikable and obnoxious. She's quick to jump to conclusions and she doesn't even try to find proof to back up her ideas. She's adorable but the character is so revolting I don't even want to continue with the series. Even when she sees something contradictory to what she thinks she still holds on to her wrong ideas. I gave this show 4 stars only for the leading male.

This show was great! The storyline was interesting and kept me going to the next episodes. The actors did a great job and the entire show was entertaining. I'd recommend! Definitely not boring and you shouldn't be disappointed. It's great!

If you can make it passed the first 5 episodes, it finally becomes a pretty watchable show. I don't know what else to say except that I'm glad I didn't give up on it. It was hard to keep going in the beginning. Korea seems to kind of glamorize suicide which I wish they wouldn't. It's a problem. There are much better ways to handle things rather than suicide. Anyway, once I struggled past the first 5 episodes, I found that it was worth watching the rest to the end. Please try.

For every 5 seconds of fun there is 5 minutes of bad writing and editing. The main couple is great when they're together and happy (with great chemistry during their kiss scenes), but every choice every character makes is very questionable. Although you always have to suspend your belief with kdramas, this drama has you questioning who in real life would behave the way these characters behave. Again, if you're looking for a show to binge or put in the background, this does the trick. The latter episodes are much more enjoyable than the beginning. This drama is not so bad that you have to stop watching, but I wouldn't recommend it first to anyone either.

Love this! I read a lot of so-so reviews of this drama before watching and so there was som apprehension on my part before starting out. But MAN was I rewarded! I've treated Korean dramas as opium for some time now and although I have watched a respectable number of them I can honestly say this is a favorite! I am also a sucker for the difficult and introverted personality so I guess this really suited me! It helps that the male lead is crushingly handsome and the chemistry between the two leads are amazing! Some people say this drama is slow, but Since I watched a lot of dramas in this category I can honestly say this drama is not slow at all. I am also a sucker for happy endings and this drama sure has a very happy ending! This is a Series to binge and enjoy!

A young girl goes to work for the CEO of a PR company, the CEO is linked to her sisters suicide 3 years earlier and she is out for revenge. The problem is that to take her revenge she needs to get the socially awkward and painfully shy boss to come out into the open. A romantic drama with a convincing romance, it seemed a little flat at times and the story is predictable but overall an enjoyable series with some light moments.

"My Shy Boss" on Netflix in the US. I wanted so badly to rate this higher because of the male actor. Yeon Woo-jin who played Eun Hwan-ki the shy boss who had a tramatic event happen in his office that caused him to hide under his hoodie and not talk to anyone finally being known as the "Silent Monster". His character is developed so well and he plays the part perfectly. But the romance he finds that helps bring him out of his shell is so frustrating as the episodes go on it was hard to watch. All my stars are for him and kept watching because I was sure this romance was going to get better soon and kept waiting and got really mad near the end at the last couple of episodes, but the last scene made it all worth it and was the best scene of the whole series and I would hate for anyone to miss it.

The drama was good but the lead actress was horrible, she was so annoying.

I struggled to watch the first 4 episodes, was going to stop there but read some comments saying they rewrote the scripts after the 4th episode. However I had to give up during episode 5. My issues were the story line was not believable probably because they made it comical - a bit difficult to stomach when you see in episode 1 someone commits suicide & the main character isn't really shy he's just got social anxiety - in my opinion. I'd seen the main characters in other dramas & I really enjoyed watching them act in those, but not in this. I didn't find the main actress believable & she came across immature & annoying - not her fault, I guess that's what the director or producer was looking for. The main actor didn't act annoying, tho I wanted to give him a kick in the shins everytime he came onscreen. I couldn't find any characters that I could like or champion for, even the main characters parents were douches. I've watched loads of Korean dramas - both new & old, but this drama doesn't have that little bit of magic that others do. Give it a chance you might like it, it might be your thing, but it just doesn't work for me. This drama annoyed me so much that I finally joined IMDB to leave this comment.

The good: The lead actress is charismatic and cute, she also has nice legs but should have been casted as the one that jumped out the window instead of the other one. The one that jumped out the window. She was very attractive and should have been in the lead role. Then you have the introvert. Very unrealistice acting and they made him look like more a a psychopath from a horror movie. Then you have his friend or adopted brother whatever you want to call him. He looks and acts just like David Schwimmer from friends. This boils down to the story of a shy introvert overcoming his problem and the lead actress finally having something good happen to her as you can see how the mother treated her like an ugly duckling. The villain if you want to call him that was different. His end goal was to make his son into a man so that he can take over the company. He's funny as well especially the part where he puts his son in an mma lock on the floor when he embarrassed himself during a presentation. Now the bad: this could have been told in about 12 episodes not the 16 that they had, otherwise it was okay.

This was a terrible show.

I sat through 4 episodes of endless cringe, misunderstandings, bad mouthing, backstabbing, and advantage taking. All because the MC has crippling social anxiety and can't interact with people.

The "love interest" in this is the worst I've seen in any K drama, and the magical outgoing pixie archetype completely and utterly fails flat. Her "bubbly" personality just results in endless cringe because her very existence and exuberance only exists because his "best friend" is trying to make his life miserable.

His "best friend" and only confidant, is a two-faced, controlling, sociopathic, murderous rapist that everyone loves.

His "love interest" is a nosy, judgmental, ignorant, selfish, good-for-nothing.

His employees all talk behind his back and hate him.

His family is utter garbage.

This show was terrible.

Utter trash. Every character is unlikeable. Couldn't find one redeeming feature. I actually broke things while watching this garbage.

A true abomination of storytelling.

It's a generic kdrama. There's nothing much about this drama. The acting was good tho, but the chemistry didn't meet my expectations and I felt like it's a little bit draggy at times.

9.2/10.
