Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })What happens when a former juvenile delinquent (played by Choi Kang Hee) lands a secretarial position for an immature chaebol heir (Ji Sung)? What if both he and his cousin (Hero Jaejoong) fall for her? Add a former girlfriend (Wang Ji Hye) into the mix, and what's next? Hilarity Ensues, of course!Protect the Boss (보스를 지켜라) is a 2011 Romantic Comedy which aired in South Korea, also known as The Boss Has Changed and The Last Secretary. After being repeatedly impeded by her Backstory, No Eun Seol becomes the secretary for agoraphobic Cha Ji Heon. His father, Chairman Cha of DN Group, assigns Eun Seol with the task of grooming Ji Heon into his successor. As she attempts to cure him, Ji Heon comes to the conclusion that he can't live without her. In a romantic sense, as well.To complicate matters, Cha Moo Won, Ji Heon's more handsome and capable cousin, falls for Eun Seol as well. Too bad Moo Won's mother, Shin Sook Hee, has other plans for her son—to take over the company. Preferably by marrying Seo Na Yoon, whose family would give Moo Won the backing he needs to become heir.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Oh, and Na Yoon is Ji Heon's ex, who just happens to want him back.

Always Someone Better: Cha Moo Won. In fact, before the story begins, Ji Heon is mostly an Unknown Rival to Moo Won. When Chairman Cha announces Ji Heon as his successor, everyone, including Ji Heon, is surprised.

Acting Unnatural: The Cha cousins, acting friendly for the press, to cover up that they're mad at each other. Also Chairman Cha and Shin Sook Hee, doing community service together. "Oh, hello, Sister-in-law." "Yes, Brother-in-law?"

Bullying a Dragon: When Na Yoon confronts Eun Seol about her not meeting with Ji Heon, she proceeds to slap her when Eun Seol refuses to answer and Eun easily grabs her hand. However, Na Yoon states she's been taking self-defense classes and twists Eun's arm behind her back. This being Eun Seol here, she easily turns around and bend Na Yoon's arm backwards. Ji Heon rants about the fact that Eun Seol is disheveled all the time, then admits he must be crazy for liking her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Moo Won is brutally honest about his feelings, even when he knows he'll get hurt.
