Protect the Boss Episode 8 Baby Recap — 58 Comments

  1. i love this drama for not dragging the secrets or not letting issues to be secrets even:D and let us to admire each character in the drama for being honest in their fights! even moms! they are not the evil moms that we know to be selfish to a sinner extent, they are moms who are trying to get benefits for their children but also their children also not one of those whiny brats but they have their own thoughts i mean they are rational individuals:D

  2. I don’t know if this happen to others, but isn’t it seems for 1hour K-Drama, PTB can deliver 1 conflict without take so much time line. Like this episode, it’s just 2 days and the story flows without chlice which most rom-com K-Drama delivered.

    I understand why things keep fast and I love it. It’s like watch Harry Potter series with each story packed with 1 pack. I hope there’s more than square-lovey of main lead. So much can explored from PTB.

    P.S. I wonder if Muwon’s and Nayun’s mom know and fall for Eun Sol’s dad, being same place with their kid. It will be hillarious 😛

    • @Hunter I agree that the plot’s flowing wonderfully. Now what you’ve said about the moms and NES’ dad…that’s food for thought…why has that never crossed my mind? LOL! That would really be hillarious…2 proud socialites bickering over primitive Tarzan! Maybe CJH’s dad can be thrown in for a love quadrangle scenario, too!

      Oh, Capt K, what a humongous ‘Baby Recap’. I think we can safely drop ‘Baby’ from it. Once again, many thanks and happy holidays!

  3. I love how they have showed JH falling for ES, with how she has been so good to him. And I think it is great that he is starting to see that she as an individual has needs as well, and is starting to try to become that man she needs. 🙂

  4. I love that M and even N tell off their respective mothers to leave E alone (N surprised me, but then again, I’m also super-glad that she’s not the stereotypical second female lead), and that E isn’t the quietly long-suffering type of heroine. It drives me batty in too many dramas to count when conflict and angst arise out of sheer lack of communication. I want to yell at the screen, “Just talk, dammit, people!” I like that here, the conflict is organic enough and strong enough to stand on its own that we don’t need to fabricate superficial conflict out of suffering-in-silence.

  5. I have a qn , is it new fashion for lead actress to have front bangs? And second leading ladies to have long hair? Quote :ltm , scent of women, ptb, cant lose. All the lead women had long hair in first ep or two and then they go to short hair with bangs. Exception is the leading lady in city hunter

  6. I’m 100% agree with ur statement “He pulls her in for a kiss. Oh Ji Heon, you are definitely a man when it comes to kissing and confirming.” He is truly another kiss bandit, LOL. Love this couple very much, they completed each other!!

    I really surprise that u said “the OTP to be separated and achieve their dreams before getting their happily ever after”, yes I also think our OTP will first strive to achieve their own dream then finally come together as happily ever after but I kinda sad if they were separated…. it’s totally make sense but I felt like their separation scene will be so sad and I’ll cry with them, owh…I want a happy funny all the time from PTB… Anyway just as u say, I’ll accept everything coz I’m so in love with our OTP and I’m so in love with PTB XD

    Ms. Koala thanks for all the news & baby recap u still brought to us even though u’re in ur vacation, hopefully Mr. Koala and none of Koala’s kiddo protest bout u spoiled us with all the post, hehehe. So many thanks again and again 🙂

  7. Thank you for recapping on vacation!

    This episode flew by! I guess because it was all about the relationships today.
    While I love MW for ES, he’s out by now. JH has the advantage with ES.
    Not only because he needs her more, but he is willing to take more risks.
    I think JH’s impulsiveness and outspokenness match ES’s. MW is just starting to learn how to leap before carefully calculating the speed and loft needed to guarantee success. By the time he catches up, JH and ES will have moved on from kissing to kissing and maybe some tangoing…

  8. Thanks for the baby recap of Protect the Boss. Just finished watching the raw video and now I’m waiting for the subs, but your recaps are still awesome even if they are just baby recaps. 🙂 I love both guys for Eun Seol, but Ji Heon just seems more real with his flaws while Moo Won is still the typical “perfect guy” (almost like Yoon Pil Joo from Best Love).

    Even though you’re on vacation you still end up updating us with so much info, now please go and enjoy the rest of your vacation!! hehe. 😀

  9. The kiss! *swoon* Thanks for the baby recap– though, really, it feels like a full recap, just without the screencaps! For someone on vacation, you sure have been posting A LOT these past few days. Thank you! And then go stare far away at some trees to counteract all the eye strain from looking at the computer!

    I’m really glad that ES brought up the points: 1. that she is tired of him leaning on her- he needs to stand on his own because I was just thinking that no matter how cute the relationship would be, I would feel bad for ES cuz it must be tiring to be leaned on all the time and 2. she’s not sure if her feelings are romantic or just motherly.

    I love how this series can have people be totally honest, be all in the loop about what’s going on, and be good (though slightly misguided) people and still have a lot of story and character development. NY may just end up as my favorite second female lead in a kdrama.

    I love how the three rich chaebol children are the naughty, drunk ones and the ES is the responsible one for calling their parents. =DD

  10. Koala highness, you are truly awesome. Kamsahamnida, thank you, merci… Your baby recap is a full recap in my book, and I really appreciate you…

    PTB may have utilized all the tropes in k-drama world but in a unique, refreshing way. Kudos to the writer and PD.

  11. Ohayo Ockoala-san!
    Just a quick comment here ahead of a long day for me!! BUT I still want to write something despite so many meetings coming up today, DEFINITELY!
    OK that last kiss WAS and IS the reason why I was sleepless last night and woke up with this dark circles around my eyes…… My gosh Ji Heon!! I mean, Ji Sung!! GOSH can you KISS or what??? I love how he uses his hand to pull Eun Seol towards him and still look DAMN HOT even though his standing position could have looked awkward with that rail separating them etc! BUT IT’S OFFICIAL! I’m in love with Ji Sung!! ENVY ENVY ENVY….. CKH, you are one lucky woman!!
    The entire episode again took a really far leap and the storyline and characters developed so well that EVERYONE is aware of what’s going on just by TALKING (+ drinking) and telling each other their thoughts! That drinking scene with the 3 rich kids drunk and the 1 poor kid doing the responsible was just HILARIOUS yet very very logical. Love how the 2 guys fall over each other when they were drunk AND envy Na Yoon for being the shoulders for them to lean on (while still drunk). May the 4 of them be friends and love each other for what they are FOREVER!
    Jae, just a note to you! YOU LOOK REAL HOT no matter IN WHITE, BLACK, PINK, WHATEVER! DAMN, you are just gorgeous!
    Ji Sung, YOU ROCK!! I shall love and remember you forever as this wacky role!
    Arigato, Ockoala-san for recapping this during you vacay! I know you are having fun writing this too just by reading your comments! Glad you ARE!

  12. This drama is amazing!
    I don’t really know what is gonna happen next.
    for all we know Eunsol might just dump these two hot guys and live in the mountain with her dad!
    even though the obvious couple seems to be Jihun/Eunsol and Muwon/Nayon
    I won’t be surprise if the writer has something else up his sleeves.^^

  13. I love that scene of which you took the screencap. It looks like such a flashback to when the 3 of them were kids and childhood friends, and it’s so sweet.

  14. Dude those three babys all cuddly sitting/sleeping /drunk together was the second best scene in this episode. Poor Eun sol has her hands full with babysitting, and instead of being grateful for watching their children she gets scolded by all of them. Urrggh, i could have broken their necks at that moment.

  15. This was such a great episode. Ji Heon is working so hard to become a better person, and I love how far he’s come in such a short time. Singing in the park was a great first step.

    I love how wacky Na Yoon is. She’s such a different second lead–so happy to have someone break out of the “pure evil” mold. And aw, it’s a little bit sad that she doesn’t have any friends. I have a feeling poor Eun Seoul is going to end up having to adopt Na Yoon too. Lol.

    • haha i totally agree. i think they’re def. setting it up so that those two will be future besties. already drinking together and nayoon is calling her all the time.

  16. Unnie, your baby recap is not a baby… you put so many details and insights in …
    I love the screen caps of the 3 rich drunken kids sitting together…it’s adorable…
    somehow it tells me that JH, NY, and MW they are really close at heart despite all their circumstances… and I think none of them will become a real dark villain.
    They may have conflicts with each other, but people sharp people, these conflicts will make them grow.
    So by the end of PTB, just as your time leap prediction, I think our 4 leads will grow more and work out their issues.

    In this ep, I love that JH is so honest and brave.
    Love the banner as well.

  17. Thank you! I loved this episode, so much there. Ms Koala – you are so sharp. I really think that a time jump is going to be necessary so the change can happen in their characters. I didn’t really think that far until you stated it. I am really loving the OTP, although I think MW and ES are cute too. MW and NY seem to be more matched, but I would really like to see MW’s character take more risks and sort of step out of his comfort zone. I’m still not quite seeing how ES’s character is going to grow through this.

    Just loving PTB to bits. Usually good dramas start to fall apart in the middle, but this one keeps surprising me.

  18. Thank you for the recap! Eeeek~ Unnie, did you know you are so cool?

    Ah. Aaah. I have the sudden urge to change my university courses for this fall and become a secretary instead. That way I could find two hot cousins that would fight for me.
    Sadly, drama world does not link with the real world. I’ve tried linking them, and reality harshly slapped my face.

    JiHeon, JiHeon, JiHeon. If you’re already this lovable, if you become a man you’d be in danger. *cough cough* I wouldn’t mind a time jump. Just not multiple ones like in Will it Snow. But I doubt this awesome drama would do such a thing to ruin what it has beautifully created. The kiss. Oh the kiss. <3

  19. I know MW-JH-NY relationship is not usual, but you can see that they are a good friends to each other. I got the vibe that vibe from ep.7 when NY scold both boys for using her.
    I love that side of this drama. No matter how old you are, when you meet your friends, you go back to become your childish place.
    Like JH-MW-NY, ES-MR, and the parents. They become such a kids.

    Thanks for the recaps Koala 🙂

  20. I can’t remember the last time I laughed out loud at a drama. They have totally broken all the old story lines I’m used to. HA! Instead of bowing her head to the moms Eun Seol threatens to seduce both their sons! Mean moms get taken down a peg. And what should be the evil ‘other women’ is truly adorkable.

    Love this show!

  21. PTB is just the best at this moment ES was awesome in today’s episode and is so refreshing to see our female leads having the courage/balls to tell people off and just be honest with everyone around her and not holding back. My 4 faves scenes are when 1. ES has a talk with Ice Cream girl, so great to see both women being open about each other. 2. ES conversation with MW at dinner, it was funny but yet great to hear ES tell MW that she basically likes both guys. 3. ES meeting YN and WM mothers and just being straight up with both crazy moms and finally 4. ES straightforward confession to JH was totally unexpected but sooo soooo good….I hope PTB can keep this great tempo going all the way cause I’m LOVING this drama and everything is clicking for me. Side note, SBS is having a great mid year hits back to back with Greatest Love, City Hunter and PTB… 😀 KBS on the other hand well not so sure… my 2 cents…

  22. Thank you for the recap. Especially when you are on vacation. Recaps take so much time. I love this show so much. I’m not frustrated with any of the character because they act in such realistic ways.

  23. ms K, thank u so much for your speedy baby recap. i wonder where you’re doing it, at the sandy shore of a beach or on top of eucalyptus tree. heheh! wherever, just enjoy your vacay to the max!

  24. This and Princess’s Man are my FAVES right now. I’m going gaga for them, each in its own way. Princess’s Man is epic. This is just pure delight. So refreshing! I love every single character. I love it when I’m actually learning some new thing about the human condition from a kdrama character.

  25. PTB is so refreshing. Never have I liked every single character as I do in this drama. In one of the scenes where the father was volunteering at the hospital, he looked at a young man in a wheelchair. Could this be nothing or could this be the son that died or possibly didn’t die?

  26. Gah, how cute is Ji Heon as a character?! He’s so candid that it simultaneously makes him lovable and annoying at the same time.

  27. Khamsahhamnida – terima kasih – arigatoo – merci beaucoup – xie- xie – efcharisto para poli – kob Khun kha – Shokran – grazie mille – gracias – danke schoon – that just to show u how thankful I am for your – please change to ‘full grown’ recap – thr won’t b a soul that would think this is a baby – so … Muaahhhhh ….

  28. Thanks, Ockoala, for the baby recaps! Now I know how irresistible PTB is!

    And surely I have never watched a kdrama as disarmingly charming, sweet, funny, hilarious, honest and unpretentious as this kdrama! It just grows on you. All the characters are adorable, lovable and unique in their own little way. Even E’s friend is so truthful in confessing that she wont be envious of E after she learned both guys like her (while surreptitiously scanning the photos of her fave kdrama actors on her phone, LOL!)

  29. Hey Koala, just wanted to say i hope your having a good holiday !! Enjoy it ! Can’t believe you did a baby recap whilst you are. By the way i hope you’ve watched ep 5 of ouran because if you haven’t i can tell you now you are going to LOVE it 😀

  30. Thanks for the recap! I seem can’t start my weekend without peeking at your blog and read PTB recaps. Doing what you want to do during vacation is the ultimate vacation.

    Can someone pass Mo Won some slices of cucumber, please? He needs to do something about that conspicuous eye-bags. Nevertheless, his eyes remain quite sexy.

  31. What I loved in this episode was the beginning. If they had not shown us what ES had gone through to find JH I would have been kinda mad at her for exploding at JH. But now we knew her point of u I fully supported all her points even when feeling bad for JH. This really has been a great drama and ep 7 and 8 just made love it so much more. Thanks for the recap and hope u have enjoyed ur vacation so far.

  32. Can’t wait for the full recap and episode 9!! I’m so LURVING this drama!!! I laugh, I cry, I dream of my “Chaebol Prince Charming”, yes Prince Charming and Knight in Shining Armor, isn’t enough nowdays, it HAS to be Chaebol!! A little demanding the girl! LOL
