Drunken My Boss Reading Order

Short answer: read Season 1 (Episodes 1-23) first, then Season 2 from Episode 24 through Episode 47. This page is the site's reading-order hub — not a chapter-count answer page.

How to read in order

Three steps — no skips, no mid-season jumps. Use the season guides for deeper context; use the chapter list below when you already know which episode you want. If you are new, treat this page as the map and the official platforms as the turn-by-turn directions: same order, different mile markers.

Step 1

Season 1 first

Read Episodes 1-23 on the official English map (The Drunken Boss). That is the licensed Season 1 finale boundary.

Step 2

Then Season 2

Continue from Episode 24 through Episode 47 (Season 2 Finale). Season 2 is completed — on hiatus.

Season 2 guide →
Step 3

After Episode 47

Nothing past Episode 47 is released on this hub. For the next label, use the Chapter 48 watch; for return timing, use Season 3.

How to follow the reading order

Use this list as a navigation map, not a substitute for the official reading order. Start at Episode 1 (Chapter 1 on many fan sites) and move forward in numeric order through the Season 1 boundary before you unlock Season 2. On Lezhin US the licensed labels read Episodes 1-23 for Season 1 and Episode 24 onward for Season 2; archive and scan sites often flatten that into a single "Chapter 1–47" run, which is why you will see "29 chapters in Season 1" in community posts even though the English finale marker is Episode 23. When a row below disagrees with your app, trust the platform season tag first, then use our Season 1 and Season 2 guides for context. Rows marked as discussion pages summarize beats and link outward — they are not a replacement for licensed panels. Paid official chapters support the creator; this hub links chapter pages for discussion and episode notes — pair the list with the where-to-read guide when you are ready to unlock the next installment.

Series overview

Editorial plot summaries for each season — written for navigation context, not copied from platform blurbs. Spoilers stay light: enough to orient new readers, not enough to replace the chapters themselves. Jump to a season guide when you want episode checkpoints, release dates, or official reading links.

Season 1 — Completed

Season 1 opens on Cha Iseul at her most untouchable — money, charm, and a string of casual nights — until her mother cuts her off and the lifestyle collapses overnight. Kang Sori enters the picture as both a practical rescue and a puzzle: the two women share hazy memories of a drunken encounter that neither can fully explain, and that uncertainty becomes the emotional engine of the arc. What starts as survival quickly hardens into a boss-and-employee setup where power, pride, and attraction pull in opposite directions. Iseul learns to rely on someone who refuses to be bought, while Sori keeps her own guard up even as small domestic moments soften the edges. Mid-season beats lean into miscommunication and class tension — old habits, family pressure, and the fear of needing another person. By the licensed Season 1 finale (Episode 23 (Season 1 Finale)), the story stops treating their bond as a temporary fix and sets up a confession-sized question that Season 2 has to answer. On fan-style lists this block is often counted as Chapters 1–29 even though the English episode map closes Season 1 at Episode 23.

Season 2 — Completed — on hiatus

Season 2 begins exactly where that emotional cliffhanger lands — no reset, no alternate timeline. Iseul and Sori have to live with what was said, unsaid, and half-remembered, and the workplace frame that once kept them at arm's length now makes every glance feel loaded. The arc spends its early episodes testing boundaries: can they be honest at home without breaking professionalism in public, and who moves first when both are used to controlling the narrative? As the season progresses, outside eyes — colleagues, family expectations, and the weight of going public — raise the stakes beyond flirtation into commitment. Readers who followed the weekly Friday (KST) release rhythm watched the count climb from Episode 24 through Episode 47, with fan chapter labels and Lezhin episode numbers diverging again in the 24–29 stretch. The licensed run ends at Episode 47 (Season 2 Finale); as of September 15, 2026, the series is completed — on hiatus, not publishing new weekly installments while fans wait for Season 3 news. If you are catching up now, read straight through from the Season 1 handoff — skipping the opening season loses the payoff this half is built on.

Reading order FAQ

How many chapters in Season 1?

Fan and archive sites usually count 29 chapters for Season 1. On the licensed English map (The Drunken Boss on Lezhin US), Season 1 is Episodes 1-23 and ends at Episode 23 (Season 1 Finale). Both labels describe the same opening arc — prefer episode numbers when you compare platforms.

Is Season 2 still ongoing?

Season 2 is completed — on hiatus through Episode 47 (Episode 47 (Season 2 Finale)). During its active run, new episodes followed a weekly Friday (KST) schedule; Chapter 48 is not out while the series is between seasons. See the Season 2 guide for premiere date and hiatus notes.

Where can I read it officially?

Use our where-to-read guide for a side-by-side look at Lezhin US (English), Bomtoon Korea (Korean), and regional options before you match chapter numbers.

Do I need to read Season 1 first?

Yes — read Episodes 1–23 in order on the official map (often labeled Chapters 1–29 on fan lists) before you start Season 2 at Episode 24. The Season 2 emotional payoff assumes you saw the Season 1 finale context.
