What a Boss Wants: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Kwon Do Hyeok, the emotionless CEO of SY Entertainment, has everything except peace of mind. Haunted by long-standing PTSD and crippling insomnia, he seeks help from a psychiatrist, who gives him an unusual prescription: find a woman whose voice can calm his nerves before his condition worsens. When an indie band's album lands on his desk, Do Hyeok hears a voice that instantly feels familiar—the same voice that once comforted him in his darkest moments. Determined to find the mysterious singer, he soon discovers that his father has also set his sights on her. As Do Hyeok races to find her first, his empty, emotionless life spirals into an unexpected romance, awakening feelings, and obsessive tastes he never knew he had.
