The Korean drama “Boss’s Blunt Taste” will be exclusively streamed on Lemino in Japan from Wednesday, November 11. “Boss’s Blunt Taste” is a romantic comedy based on a hugely popular webtoon and marks Sung Hoon’s first leading role in about three years; it will be streamed on the same day as in Korea from Wednesday, November 11. Kwon Do-hyuk, played by Sung Hoon, is a chaebol heir and an AI expert, a hyper-rational man who does not show emotions like AI himself and believes only in data. The only music he listens to is classical music with no human voices. Then Do-hyuk meets a woman who is the vocalist of an indie band... Since the production was announced, the work has also been a topic among fans as possibly a drama adaptation of the book that appeared in one scene of Sung Hoon’s representative work “A Distant Romance.” It is a work full of the charm of Sung Hoon, who is a perfect fit for the role of a “high-spec man who is awkward at romance.” The heroine vocalist “Su” is played by Oh Se-young from “Judge Lee Hanyoung.” She has a different face by day and by night, and while job hunting she continues music activities in secret from those around her. Also a highlight is the appearance of CNBLUE member and actor Lee Jong-shin as a doctor who is a “hexagonal man” who has everything—appearance, family background, ability, and personality. ■ Streaming information “Boss’s Blunt Taste” Exclusive streaming from 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 All 12 episodes New episodes planned to be updated every Wednesday and Thursday <Cast> Sung Hoon “A Model for a Perfect Marriage,” “A Distant Romance,” “Noble, My Love” Oh Se-young “Judge Lee Hanyoung,” “The Beauty Inside” Lee Jong-shin “The Escape of the Seven Season 2—Revenge—,” “Cinderella and the Four Knights” Direction: Kang Sol “Welcome Home, Traveler,” “Queen’s House,” “Delivery Man” Original work: Shikuku “The Bride Who Was Sold” Script: Nam Ji-young “That’s Why I Married an Anti-Fan,” “Our Home ~Fragments of Lies~” <Synopsis> The protagonist Kwon Do-hyuk is a chaebol heir and a genius in the field of AI. He has everything—looks, intelligence, and wealth—but values rationality over emotion and has lived a life with no “personal preferences.” One day, he is strongly drawn to the singing voice of the song “Her” included on an indie album he happened to get. Do-hyuk, moved for the first time in his life, begins searching for the owner of that voice. And the one he meets is Lee Eun-chae, the vocalist of an indie band. ■ Related site “Boss’s Blunt Taste” trailer viewing page
