About The Boss

The Boss ended on July 6, 1999, on MBC.

This historical drama series from 1999 depicted the life of Kim Ch'un Sam, a real-life South Korean politician and army veteran. The show covered significant events in Korean history, from the colonial period through the Park Chung Hee military regime, viewed through the perspective of a gang of beggars. It portrayed Kim Ch'un Sam's journey from a young street beggar to the leader of his own gang in Seoul, highlighting his efforts to defend his gang from police threats and support his friend Kim Doo Han in gang conflicts. The series also explored his romantic relationship with a young musician and actress, set against the backdrop of Korea's turbulent wartime history.

The cast included Cha In Pyo as Kim Cheon Sam, Song Yoon Ah as Yun Ji, Kim Nam Joo as Min Jae, and Lee Hoon as Kim Doo Ha. The story was a dramatized account of historical figures, with some facts possibly exaggerated or altered for storytelling purposes.
