PD Son Jung Hyun of SBS‘s ‘Protect the Boss‘ recently hinted at the drama’s ending episode.
Son stated, “The ending to the drama will be inherently ‘boss-like’. I tried to show the growth between not only the wealthy, but all of the characters in the drama. The final scene features an episode that I’m sure will put a smile on every viewer’s face.”
He continued, “I’d like to sincerely thank everyone for supporting ‘Protect the Boss’ up until now. Personally, I feel happy to have been able to work with such great actors.”
‘Protect the Boss’ will wrap up its 18-episode series on September 28th.

Wednesday-Thursday SBS drama Protect the Boss starring Choi Kang-hee, Ji Sung, Wang Ji-hye and Kim Jaejoong, has been confirmed for a 2-episode extension, bringing the final episode count up to 18. That means an extra week for all the chaebol-and-secretary-slash-bodyguard hijinks galore.
There’s been talk of an extension, though the ratings for the show are in that mid-teens range, where it’s not quite a runaway hit, but it’s been performing solidly throughout. The Princess’s Man has taken a firm lead in the Wed-Thu primetime slot, recording 21.1% ratings this week, while Boss has kept a steady second place, this week coming in around 14.8%. (Plenty of shows extend with 14-17% range, though 20% is the new benchmark. Remember ye olden days of 50% ratings?) Anyway, it makes sense that an extension was in the cards for the show since it’s been critically well-received despite being in second place.
That pushes follow-up drama Tree With Deep Roots back another week, which will certainly benefit the high-budget production. Tree is the highly anticipated sageuk from the writers of Queen Seon-deok, about the life of King Sejong the Great, starring Jang Hyuk, Han Seok-kyu, Shin Se-kyung, and Song Joong-ki.
That means Tree premieres October 5, which oddly enough puts its premiere date right up against the last week of ratings leader The Princess’s Man. You don’t battle a new sageuk with an established sageuk — it’s the same audience! I suppose they’ll just take a hit for the first week, but if I were SBS, I’d air a special or something till the coast was clear. Amirite?

Superkidd and the Brave Girls will be making cameo appearances in SBS’s upcoming drama, ‘Protect the Boss’!
The two groups will be joining the first episode in a scene with a CF photoshoot. To make it look like the real deal, the drama spent thousands on creating the set. PD Park Sun Ho will be explaining the CF’s concept to the groups before they break into a parody of Cha Du Ri’s hit CF song, “Because of the Liver“. The lyrics have been changed to “Because of Money”.
Directors said, “We’re hoping to catch attention not only with our lead roles, but with fun little scenes like this as well. We’re sure that the two groups’ CF song, ‘Because of Money’, will earn great popularity.”
The drama begins airing on August 3rd!
