A Female Boss (1959)
Joanna (Jo Mi Ryeong) is the boss of a magazine called "The Modern Woman". As chance would have it, Yong Ho (Lee Su Ryeon), who had insulted her in passing before, comes looking for a job. Joanna hires him with the intentions of teaching him a lesson, but ends up falling for him instead.
